Abstract
INTRODUCTION Data on positive rechallenge in idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) are scarce. We aim to analyse the clinical presentation, outcome and drugs associated with positive rechallenge in two DILI registries. METHODS Cases from the Spanish and Latin American DILI registries were included. Demographics, clinical characteristics and outcome of cases with positive rechallenge according to CIOMS/RUCAM and current definitions were analysed. RESULTS Of 1418 patients with idiosyncratic DILI, 58 cases had positive rechallenge (4.1%). Patients with positive rechallenge had shorter duration of therapy (p=0.001) and latency (p=0.003). In patients with rechallenge, aspartate transaminase levels were increased (p=0.026) and showed a prolonged time to recovery (p=0.020), albeit no differences were seen in terms of fatal outcomes. The main drug implicated in rechallenge was amoxicillin-clavulanate (17%). The majority of re-exposure events were unintentional (71%). Using both existing definitions of positive rechallenge, there were four cases which exclusively fulfilled the current criteria and five which only meet the historical definition. All cases of positive rechallenge, irrespective of the pattern of damage, fulfilled the criteria of either alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≥2 times ULN. CONCLUSIONS Episodes of rechallenge were characterised by shorter duration of therapy and latency, and longer time to resolution, but did not show an increased incidence of fatal outcome. Based on our findings, ALT ≥3 times ULN and/or ALP ≥2 times ULN, regardless of the pattern of damage, is proposed as a new definition of rechallenge in DILI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite being a prognostic predictor, cardiac autonomic dysfunction (AD) has not been well investigated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aimed to characterise computed tomography (CT), spirometry, and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) features of COPD patients with cardiac AD and the association of AD with CT-derived vascular and CPET-derived ventilatory efficiency metrics. METHODS This observational cohort study included stable, non-severe COPD patients. They underwent clinical evaluation, spirometry, CPET, and CT. Cardiac AD was determined based on abnormal heart rate responses to exercise, including chronotropic incompetence (CI) or delayed heart rate recovery (HRR) during CPET. RESULTS We included 49 patients with FEV1 of 1.2-5.0 L (51.1-129.7%), 24 (49%) had CI, and 15 (31%) had delayed HRR. According to multivariate analyses, CI was independently related to reduced vascular volume (VV; VV ≤ median; OR [95% CI], 7.26 [1.56-33.91]) and low ventilatory efficiency (nadir VE/VCO2 ≥ median; OR [95% CI], 10.67 [2.23-51.05]). Similar results were observed for delayed HRR (VV ≤ median; OR [95% CI], 11.46 [2.03-64.89], nadir VE/VCO2 ≥ median; OR [95% CI], 6.36 [1.18-34.42]). CONCLUSIONS Cardiac AD is associated with impaired pulmonary vascular volume and ventilatory efficiency. This suggests that lung blood perfusion abnormalities may occur in these patients. Further confirmation is required in a large population-based cohort.

Abstract
Despite considerable evidence for the benefit in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is insufficient. However, music therapy may help address this gap due to its unique benefits. Therefore, we aimed to develop a music-therapy facilitated pulmonary telerehabilitation program based on rhythm-guided walking, singing, and objective telemonitoring. A supervised, parallel-group, single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted, including 75 patients with COPD anticipated to be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into three groups. The intervention groups will receive a 12-week remotely monitored rehabilitation program, while the usual care group will not receive any rehabilitation interventions. Of the two intervention groups, the multi-module music therapy group will contain rhythm-guided walking and singing training, while the rhythm-guided walking group will only include music tempo-guided walking. The primary outcome is the distance of the incremental shuttle walking test. Secondary outcomes include respiratory muscle function, spirometry, lower extremity function, symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression levels, physical activity level, training adherence, and safety measurements. The results of this study can contribute to develop and evaluate a home-based music-facilitated rehabilitation program, which has the potential to act as a supplement and/or substitute (according to the needs) for traditional center-based PR in patients with stable COPD.

Abstract
Coping with stressful conditions and maintaining reproduction are two key biological processes that affect insect population dynamics. Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are involved in the stress response and the development of insects. The sHsp gene Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) sHsp 21.5 (LsHsp21.5) showed constitutive, stage- and organ-specific expression in L. striatellus, a pest that damages cultivated rice in east Asia. The expression of LsHsp21.5 was highest in the ovary, with 43.60, 12.99 and 1.45 time higher expression here than in the head, gut and female fat bodies, respectively. The expression of this gene was weakly affected by heat or cold shock. The gene provided in vitro protection against heat damage to malate dehydrogenase and in vivo protection against heat stress in Escherichia coli (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae) BL21(DE3) and L. striatellus. Moreover, L. striatellus reproduction decreased by 1.85 times when the expression of LsHsp21.5 was inhibited by RNA interference. The expression of some genes related to reproduction, such as the homologous gene of chorion protein, also declined. These results suggest that LsHsp21.5 expression not only protects other proteins against stress but also helps maintain the stable expression of some reproduction-related genes under non-stressful conditions, with impacts on L. striatellus fecundity.

Abstract
Background An increase in the prevalence of comorbidities has been reported in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, contemporary estimates of the overall prevalence of the sociodemographic correlates of COPD comorbidities are scarce and inconsistent in China. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sociodemographic correlates of comorbidities in patients with COPD across China. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. We used data from the Enjoying Breathing Program between May 2020 and April 2022. Participants with COPD from 17 provinces (or equivalent) were included. Comorbidity clusters were stratified based on the number of comorbidities per person. Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to determine the sociodemographic associations of patients with COPD with specific clusters of comorbidities after adjusting for age, sex, and other prespecified covariates. Tetrachoric correlation analyses were performed to determine the associations between specific comorbidities. Findings A total of 3913 participants with COPD were included, of whom 1744 (44.7%) had at least one comorbidity; 25.4% had one comorbid disease, 12.9% had two, and 6.4% had three or more concurrent diseases. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (17.8%), asthma (9.9%), bronchiectasis (8.2%), diabetes (8.2%), and coronary artery disease (7.7%). In the logistic regression models adjusted for a broad set of factors, patients with COPD residing in the east region of China and having health insurance experienced a decreased likelihood of comorbidities (from OR = 0.70 [95% confidence interval [CI], 0.53-0.93] to OR = 0.50 [95% CI, 0.25-0.99]). However, patients over 80 years had increased risk (OR 1.43 [95% CI 1.01-2.03]), as did those in all Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) grade categories (grade 1: OR = 1.30 [95% CI, 1.02-1.65]; grade 2: OR = 1.39 [95% CI, 1.07-1.8]; grade 3: OR = 1.67 [95% CI, 1.23-2.26]; and grade 4: OR = 1.81 [95% CI, 1.00-3.28]) and in Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2 classification (OR = 1.30 [95% CI, 1.03-1.65]) relative to their respective references. The associations observed in these subgroups were consistent regardless of the number of comorbidities per person. Tetrachoric correlations demonstrated negative associations in pairwise comparisons of the top five comorbidities, ranging from -0.03 to -0.31 (p < 0.001 in all groups). Interpretation In China, comorbidities are highly prevalent among patients with COPD, with older age, higher mMRC grade, and lung function decline being the major risk factors. Studies with larger sample sizes are required to elucidate the complex mechanisms underlying COPD comorbidities.

Abstract
AIM To explore the feasibility of a "triple-low" dose (low tube voltage, low tube current, and low contrast agent volume) bronchial artery computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) to replace routine dose bronchial artery CTA before bronchial artery embolisation (BAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS CTA was obtained from 60 patients with body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2 using a 256 multi-section iCT system, and they were divided into two groups: (1) group A: 100 kVp, 100 mAs, 50 ml contrast medium (CM); (2) group B: 120 kVp, automatic tube current modulation (ACTM), 80 ml CM. CT attenuation of the thoracic aorta, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated, and subjective image quality scores and traceability scores assessed. The effective radiation dose was calculated. RESULTS The radiation dose was reduced by 79.7% in group A compared to group B (p<0.05). The CT attenuation of the thoracic aorta was increased by approximately 13% in group A compared to group B (p<0.05). Higher image noise, lower SNR, and CNR were obtained in group A compared to group B (all p<0.05). Both subjective image quality scores and traceability scores did not differ between groups A and B (both p>0.05). CONCLUSION It is feasible to use the "triple-low" dose CTA protocol for patients with a body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2. The radiation dose was reduced by 79.7%, and the dose of contrast medium was reduced by 37.5% to ensure the diagnostic value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The possibility of coil dislocation in computed tomography (CT)-guided microcoil localization of superficial pulmonary nodules is relatively high. The aim of the study is to investigate the outcomes of deeper localization technique during CT-guided microcoil localization of superficial pulmonary nodules before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). METHODS Fifty-seven identified superficial pulmonary nodules (nodule-pleural distance ≤ 1 cm on CT image) from 51 consecutive patients underwent CT-guided microcoil localization, and subsequent VATSs were included. The rate of technical success, complications, and excised lung volume were compared between deeper localization technique group and conventional localization technique group. RESULTS The technical success rate of the localization procedure was 100% (25/25) in the deeper localization group and 81.3% (26/32) in the conventional localization group (p = 0.030). Excluding one case of lobectomy, the excised lung volume in the deeper localization group and the conventional localization group was 39.3 ± 23.5 and 37.2 ± 16.2 cm3, respectively (p = 0.684). The incidence of pneumothorax was similar between the deeper localization group and the conventional localization group (24.0 vs. 21.9%, respectively, p = 0.850). The incidence of intrapulmonary hemorrhage in the deeper localization group was higher (16.0%) than that in the conventional localization group (6.3%), but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.388). CONCLUSION CT-guided microcoil localization of superficial pulmonary nodules prior to VATS using a deeper localization technique is feasible. Deeper localization technique reduced the occurrence of dislocation but did not increase excised lung volume.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of multiple punctures in computed tomography (CT)-guided microcoil localization of pulmonary nodules with other risk factors for common complications. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent CT-guided microcoil localization and subsequent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) between January 2020 and February 2021 were enrolled. Nodules successfully located after only one puncture were defined as the single puncture group, and nodules requiring two or more punctures were defined as the multiple puncture group. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between the number of punctures and pneumothorax and intrapulmonary hemorrhage. RESULTS A total of 121 patients were included. There were 98 (68.1%) pulmonary nodules in the single puncture group compared with 46 (31.9%) nodules in the multiple puncture group. The frequencies of pneumothorax and intrapulmonary hemorrhage were higher in the multiple puncture group than in the single puncture group (p = 0.019 and <0.001, respectively). Binary logistic regression demonstrated that independent risk factors for developing pneumothorax included lateral positioning of the patient (p < .001) and prone positioning (p = 0.014), as well as multiple punctures (p = 0.013). Independent risk factors for intrapulmonary hemorrhage included the distance between the distal end of the coil and the surface of the pleura (p = 0.033), multiple punctures (p = 0.003), and passage through the pulmonary vasculature (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Multiple punctures resulted in an increased incidence of pneumothorax and intrapulmonary hemorrhage compared with single puncture during CT-guided microcoil localization of pulmonary nodules and were independently associated with both pneumothorax and intrapulmonary hemorrhage.

Abstract
One of the biggest challenges for pathogens invading hosts is microbial symbionts but the role of pathogens in symbionts in nature is unknown. By tracking the dynamics of the entomopathogenic fungal Cordyceps javanica and symbionts in natural populations of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci from 2016 to 2021 across China, we reveal that Rickettsia, a newly invaded symbiont, is positively correlated with the pathogen in both frequency and density. We confirm that applying pathogen pressure can selectively drive Rickettsia to sudden fixation in whiteflies both in the laboratory and in the field. Furthermore, the driving force is elucidated by the Rickettsia-conferred suppression of pathogen infection quantity, proliferation and sporulation, acting as a potential barrier of onward transmission of the pathogen. These results show that pathogens are an important driving force for rapid shifts in host symbionts in the natural niche.

Abstract
AIM To establish and assess a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram for identifying malignant and benign Bosniak IIF masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 150 patients with Bosniak IIF masses were separated into a training set (n=106) and a test set (n=44) in a ratio of 7:3. A radiomics signature was calculated based on extracted features from the three phases of CT images. A clinical model was constructed based on clinical characteristics and CT features, and a nomogram incorporating the radiomics signature and independent clinical variables was established. The calibration ability, discrimination accuracy, and clinical value of the nomogram model were assessed. RESULTS Twelve features derived from CT images were applied to establish the radiomics signature. The performance levels of three machine-learning models were improved by adding the synthetic minority oversampling technique algorithm. The optimised machine learning model was a combination of the minimum redundancy maximum relevance-least absolute shrinkage and selection operator feature screening method + logistic regression classifier + synthetic minority oversampling technique algorithm, which demonstrated excellent identification ability on the test set (area under the curve [AUC], 0.970; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.940-1.000). The nomogram model displayed outstanding discrimination ability on the test set (AUC, 0.972; 95% CI, 0.942-1.000). CONCLUSIONS The CT-based radiomics nomogram was useful for discriminating between malignant and benign Bosniak IIF masses, which improved the precision of preoperative diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination are a priority in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, limited information is available on vaccination coverage among patients with acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) in China. This study aimed to determine the rates and associated factors of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination in patients hospitalized with AECOPD. METHODS Baseline data from a national, multicenter, hospital-based study that included adult inpatients with AECOPD between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed. The outcomes of interest were the influenza vaccination in the past year and the pneumococcal vaccination in the past 5 years. To ensure national representativeness, rates were weighted according to the distribution of hospital levels and types enrolled in this study. Multivariable Poisson regression based on mixed-effects models were used to determine the associated factors. The independent variables included the region and hospital features where the participants were located, sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, rural/urban residence, education, etc.), and clinical indicators (COPD disease history, lung function parameters, comorbidities, etc.). The treatment profiles of the vaccinated and unvaccinated participants were compared. RESULTS Of 6949 eligible participants, the weighted rates of influenza/pneumococcal, influenza, and pneumococcal vaccination were 2.72% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.34-3.10%), 2.09% (95% CI: 1.76-2.43%), and 1.25% (95% CI: 0.99-1.51%), respectively. In multivariable models, age ≥60 years (60-69 years, odds ratio [OR]: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.11-3.25; ≥80 years, OR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.06-3.78), geographical regions (Northern China relative to Eastern China, OR: 5.09, 95% CI: 1.96-13.21), urban residence (OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.07-2.66), a higher education level (junior high school, OR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.21-2.58; senior high school or above, OR: 2.61, 95% CI: 1.69-4.03), former smoking (OR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.15-2.79), and regular inhaled medication treatment (OR: 3.28, 95% CI: 2.29-4.70) were positively associated with vaccination. Patients who had experienced severe exacerbations in the past year were less likely to be vaccinated (OR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.45-0.96). Compared with unvaccinated participants, vaccinated participants adhered better to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. CONCLUSIONS Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination coverage are extremely low. Urgent measures are necessary to increase vaccination coverage among inpatients with AECOPD in China.

Abstract
Background Studies comparing the effects of different sizes and concentrations of ambient particulate matter (PM) on pulmonary function in different regions and sexes remain sparse. Objectives To investigate the associations of different sizes and levels of long-term ambient PM exposure with pulmonary function among people of different sexes in typical areas of South and North China. Methods In 2021, a total of 1,592 participants aged 20-73 years were recruited to participate in the pulmonary function test from the baseline survey of the Diverse Life-Course Cohort (DLCC) in typical areas of Guangdong Province and Hebei Province. The three-year (2018-2020) average ambient PM concentrations were assessed from the ChinaHighPM1 dataset, ChinaHighPM2.5 dataset and ChinaHighPM10 dataset. Mean differences in pulmonary function were used in multilevel models for different regions and sexes. Results We discovered significant associations of ambient PM exposure with reduced forced vital capacity (FVC) and increased forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC) among men and lower levels of FEV1 and FVC among women, such that a 5-μg/m3 concentration increase in PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 was associated with decreases in FVC of 122.1 ml (95% confidence interval (CI): 30.8, 213.4), 54.6 ml (95% CI: 15.8, 93.3) and 42.9 ml (95% CI: 12.7, 73.1) and increases in FEV1/FVC of 2.2% (95% CI: 0.6, 3.9), 1.1% (95% CI: 0.4, 1.9) and 0.9% (95% CI: 0.3, 1.5) among men and decreases in FEV1 of 51.1 ml (95% CI: 9.7, 92.4), 21.6 ml (95% CI: 4.3, 38.9) and 16.7 ml (95% CI: 3.3, 30.1) and in FVC of 77.8 ml (95% CI: 10.0, 145.6), 38.7 ml (95% CI: 9.0, 68.5) and 31.1 ml (95% CI: 8.1, 54.1) among women in Hebei Province. There was no association between ambient PM and pulmonary function in Guangdong Province. Conclusion Long-term exposure to different sizes and concentrations of ambient PM were associated with FEV1 and FVC among men and women differently. The impact of ambient PM on FVC should be of greater concerned.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, a large number of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are undiagnosed in China. Thus, this study aimed to develop a simple prediction model as a screening tool to identify patients at risk for COPD. METHODS The study was based on the data of 22,943 subjects aged 30 to 79 years and enrolled in the second resurvey of China Kadoorie Biobank during 2012 and 2013 in China. We stepwisely selected the predictors using logistic regression model. Then we tested the model validity through P-P graph, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), ten-fold cross validation and an external validation in a sample of 3492 individuals from the Enjoying Breathing Program in China. RESULTS The final prediction model involved 14 independent variables, including age, sex, location (urban/rural), region, educational background, smoking status, smoking amount (pack-years), years of exposure to air pollution by cooking fuel, family history of COPD, history of tuberculosis, body mass index, shortness of breath, sputum and wheeze. The model showed an area under curve (AUC) of 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.72-0.73) for detecting undiagnosed COPD patients, with the cutoff of predicted probability of COPD=0.22, presenting a sensitivity of 70.13% and a specificity of 62.25%. The AUROC value for screening undiagnosed patients with clinically significant COPD was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.66-0.69). Moreover, the ten-fold cross validation reported an AUC of 0.72 (95% CI: 0.71-0.73), and the external validation presented an AUC of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.68-0.71). CONCLUSION This prediction model can serve as a first-stage screening tool for undiagnosed COPD patients in primary care settings.

Abstract
Aims Oxidative stress is an important amplifying mechanism in COPD; however, it is unclear how oxidative stress changes and what its exact amplification mechanism is in the pathological process. We aimed to dynamically analyse the progression of COPD and further elucidate the characteristics of each developmental stage and unveil the underlying mechanisms. Methods We performed a holistic analysis by integrating Gene Expression Omnibus microarray datasets related to smoking, emphysema and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification based on the concept of gene, environment and time (GET). Gene ontology (GO), protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were used to explore the changing characteristics and potential mechanisms. Lentivirus was used to promote HIF3A overexpression. Results In smokers versus nonsmokers, the GO term mainly enriched in "negative regulation of apoptotic process". In later transitions between stages, the main enriched terms were continuous progression of "oxidation-reduction process" and "cellular response to hydrogen peroxide". Logistic regression showed that these core differentially expressed genes (DEGs) had diagnostic accuracy in test (area under the curve (AUC)=0.828) and validation (AUC=0.750) sets. GSEA and PPI networks showed that one of the core DEGs, HIF3A, strongly interacted with the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway. Overexpression of HIF3A restored superoxide dismutase levels and alleviated the reactive oxygen species accumulation caused by cigarette smoke extract treatment. Conclusion Oxidative stress was continuously intensified from mild emphysema to GOLD 4; thus, special attention should be paid to the identification of emphysema. Furthermore, the downregulated HIF3A may play an important role in the intensified oxidative stress in COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise, as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, is recommended to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The underlying molecular basis and metabolic process were not fully elucidated. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were classified into five groups: non-COPD/rest ( n = 8), non-COPD/exercise ( n = 7), COPD/rest ( n = 7), COPD/medium exercise ( n = 10), and COPD/intensive exercise ( n = 10). COPD animals were exposed to cigarette smoke and lipopolysaccharide instillation for 90 days, while the non-COPD control animals were exposed to room air. Non-COPD/exercise and COPD/medium exercise animals were trained on a treadmill at a decline of 5° and a speed of 15 m/min while animals in the COPD/intensive exercise group were trained at a decline of 5° and a speed of 18 m/min. After eight weeks of exercise/rest, we used ultrasonography, immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, oxidative capacity of mitochondria, airflow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (AFADESI-MSI), and transcriptomics analyses to assess rectal femoris (RF). RESULTS At the end of 90 days, COPD rats' weight gain was smaller than control by 59.48 ± 15.33 g ( P = 0.0005). The oxidative muscle fibers proportion was lower ( P < 0.0001). At the end of additional eight weeks of exercise/rest, compared to COPD/rest, COPD/medium exercise group showed advantages in weight gain, femoral artery peak flow velocity (Δ58.22 mm/s, 95% CI: 13.85-102.60 mm/s, P = 0.0104), RF diameters (Δ0.16 mm, 95% CI: 0.04-0.28 mm, P = 0.0093), myofibrils diameter (Δ0.06 μm, 95% CI: 0.02-0.10 μm, P = 0.006), oxidative muscle fiber percentage (Δ4.84%, 95% CI: 0.15-9.53%, P = 0.0434), mitochondria oxidative phosphorylate capacity ( P < 0.0001). Biomolecules spatial distribution in situ and bioinformatic analyses of transcriptomics suggested COPD-related alteration in metabolites and gene expression, which can be impacted by exercise. CONCLUSION COPD rat model had multi-level structure and function impairment, which can be mitigated by exercise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the application of low tube voltage computer tomography angiography (CTA) in bronchial artery (BA) imaging in hemoptysis patients. METHODS Between January 2017 and December 2021, 119 patients were studied, including 31 in the 80-kV group, 39 in the 100-kV group and 49 in the control group (120 kV). The CT dose index-volume (CTDIvol) (mGy) and effective dose (ED) (mSv) of each group were comparatively analysed. Image quality evaluation included the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and subjective 5-scores. RESULTS Statistically significant differences were noted in CTDIvol, ED, SNR, CNR and image quality scores of the groups (P < 0.05). Comparative analysis showed no statistical difference in CTDIvol, ED and image quality scores between the 80- and 100-kV groups. CONCLUSION Low tube voltage CTA is useful in BA imaging for hemoptysis patients. Tube voltages of 100 kV have better image quality and lower radiation dose.

Abstract
BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most prevalent chronic respiratory disease in China. It is estimated that there is a large amount of high-risk population who will develop into COPD in the future whereas have not yet been detected.Methods and DesignIn this context, a nationwide COPD screening program was launched on 9 October, 2021. This multi-stage sequential screening program, incorporates a previously validated questionnaire (i.e.COPD Screening Questionnaire), pre- and post-bronchodilator spirometry to target the COPD high-risk population. The program plans to recruit a total of 800 000 participants (eligible age of 35 to 75 years) from 160 districts or counties of 31 provinces, autonomous regions or municipalities across China. The filtered COPD high-risk population and early-detected COPD patients will then be administrated integrated management and be followed up for at least one year respectively.DiscussionThis is the first large-scale prospective study to determine the net benefit of mass screening for COPD in China. Elaborately, whether the smoking cessation rate, morbidity, mortality, and health status of individuals at high-risk of COPD could be improved along with this systematic screening program will be observed and validated. Moreover, the diagnostic accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and superiority of the screening program will also be assessed and discussed. The program will make a remarkable achievement in management of chronic respiratory disease in China.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively analyze the effectiveness and safety of computed tomography (CT)-guided microcoil localization for scapula-blocked pulmonary nodules using penetrating lung puncture prior to video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). METHODS One hundred thirty-eight patients with 138 pulmonary nodules were included in this single-center retrospective study. Among them, 110 patients who underwent CT-guided microcoil localization using the routine puncture technique formed the routine group; the other 28 patients who underwent the CT-guided microcoil localization using the penetrating lung puncture technique formed the penetrating lung group. The main outcomes were the success rate and complication rate of the two groups. RESULTS The localization success rate was 95.5% (105/110) in the routine group and 89.3% (25/28) in the penetrating lung group (P = 0.205). There was no statistical difference in any of the complications (pneumothorax, intrapulmonary hemorrhage, or moderate and severe chest pain) in both groups (P = 0.178, P = 0.204, P = 0.709, respectively). Localization procedure time was significantly increased in the penetrating lung group compared with the routine group (31.0 ± 3.0 min vs. 21.2 ± 2.8 min, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION CT-guided microcoil localization for scapula-blocked pulmonary nodules using penetrating lung puncture prior to VATS resection is effective and safe. However, the deployment of the microcoil using penetrating lung puncture required more time than the routine puncture method.

Abstract
Background Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a crucial risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the mechanisms whereby PM2.5 contribute to COPD risk have not been fully elucidated. Accumulating evidence suggests that epigenetics, including DNA methylation, play an important role in this process; however, the association between PM2.5 exposure and genome-wide DNA methylation in patients with COPD has not been studied. Objective To evaluate the association of personal exposure to PM2.5 and genome-wide DNA methylation changes in the peripheral blood of patients with COPD. Methods A panel study was conducted in Beijing, China. We repeatedly measured and collected personal PM2.5 data for 72 h. Genome-wide DNA-methylation of peripheral blood was analyzed using the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation BeadChip (850 k). A linear-mixed effect model was used to identify the differentially methylated probe (DMP) associated with PM2.5. Finally, we performed a functional enrichment analysis of the DMPs that were significantly associated with PM2.5. Results A total of 24 COPD patients were enrolled and 48 repeated DNA methylation measurements were associated in this study. When the false discovery rate was < 0.05, 19 DMPs were significantly associated with PM2.5 and were annotated to corresponding genes. Functional enrichment analysis of these genes showed that they were related to the response to toxic substances, regulation of tumor necrosis factor superfamily cytokine production, regulation of photosensitivity 3-kinase signaling, and other pathways. Conclusion This study provided evidence for a significant relationship between personal PM2.5 exposure and DNA methylation in patients with COPD. Our research also revealed a new biological pathway explaining the adverse effects of PM2.5 exposure on COPD risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prognostic value of preimplantation nutritional status is not yet known for older diabetic patients that received right ventricular pacing (RVP). The study aimed to investigate the clinical value of the four malnutrition screening tools for the prediction of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) in older diabetic patients that received RVP. DESIGN Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS This study was conducted between January 2017 and January 2018 at the Fuwai Hospital, Beijing, China, and included older (age ≥ 65 years) diabetic patients that received RVP for the first time Measurements: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Naples Prognostic Score (NPS), and the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score were used to estimate the preimplantation nutritional status of the patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between preimplantation malnutrition and HFH. RESULTS Overall, 231 older diabetic patients receiving RVP were included. The median follow-up period after RVP was 53 months. HFH was reported for 19.9% of the included patients. Our results showed preimplantation malnutrition for 18.2%, 15.2%, 86.6% and 66.2% of the included patients based on the PNI, GNRI, NPS, and CONUT score, respectively. The cumulative rate of HFH during follow-up period was significantly higher for patients in the preimplantation malnutrition group based on the PNI (log-rank = 13.0, P = 0.001), GNRI (log-rank = 8.5, P = 0.01), and NPS (log-rank = 15.7, P < 0.001) compared to the normal nutrition group, but was not statistically significant for those in the preimplantation malnutrition group based on the CONUT score (log-rank = 2.7, P = 0.3). As continuous variables, all the nutritional indices showed significant correlation with HFH (all P < 0.05). However, multivariate analysis showed that only GNRI was independently associated with HFH (HR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.937-0.997, P = 0.032). As categorical variables, PNI, GNRI, and NPS showed significant correlation with HFH. After adjustment of confounding factors, moderate-to-severe degree of malnutrition was an independent predictor of HFH based on the PNI (HR = 4.66, 95% CI: 1.03-21.00, P = 0.045) and GNRI (HR = 3.02, 95% CI: 1.02-9.00, P = 0.047). CONCLUSION Preimplantation malnutrition was highly prevalent in older diabetic patients that received RVP. The malnutrition prediction tools, PNI and GNRI, showed significant prognostic value in accurately predicting HFH in older diabetic patients with RVP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High medication burdens are common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to explore the associations of medication regimen complexity index (MRCI) with medication adherence and clinical outcomes among patients with acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) after hospital discharge. METHODS Data were obtained from a nationwide cohort study of inpatients with AECOPD in China. MRCI scores were calculated using the medication list 30 days after discharge and separated into COPD-specific and non-COPD MRCI scores. Medication adherence was measured by the withdrawal rate of COPD or inhaled long-acting bronchodilators 6 months after discharge. Clinical outcomes included re-exacerbations and COPD-related readmissions during the 30-day to 6-month follow-up period. The associations of MRCI with medication withdrawal and clinical outcomes were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions. Potential covariates included sociodemographic factors, year of COPD diagnosis, post-bronchodilator percentage predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 s, mMRC score, CAT score, and comorbidities. RESULTS Among the 2853 patients included, the median total MRCI score was 7 [interquartile range (IQR), 7-13]. A high MRCI score (>7) was presented in 1316 patients (46.1%). Of the MRCI score, 91% were COPD specific. The withdrawal rates of the COPD and inhaled long-acting bronchodilators were 24.2% and 24.4%, respectively. Re-exacerbation and COPD-related readmission rates were 10.2% and 7.5%, respectively. After adjusting for covariates, patients with high total MRCI scores were less likely to discontinue COPD drugs [odds ratio (OR), 0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.52-0.74] and inhaled long-acting bronchodilators (OR, 0.68; 95%CI, 0.57-0.81); conversely, these patients were more likely to experience re-exacerbation (OR, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.27-2.11) and readmission (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.17-2.10). CONCLUSION MRCI scores were relatively low among post-hospitalized patients with AECOPD in China. Higher MRCI scores were positively associated with adherence to COPD or inhaled medications, and risk of re-exacerbation and readmission. REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02657525.

Abstract
Introduction The metabolomic changes caused by airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether it is possible to predict PM2.5-induced acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) using metabolic markers. Methods Thirty-eight patients with COPD diagnosed by the 2018 Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease were selected and divided into high exposure and low exposure groups. Questionnaire data, clinical data, and peripheral blood data were collected from the patients. Targeted metabolomics using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was performed on the plasma samples to investigate the metabolic differences between the two groups and its correlation with the risk of acute exacerbation. Results Metabolomic analysis identified 311 metabolites in the plasma of patients with COPD, among which 21 metabolites showed significant changes between the two groups, involving seven pathways, including glycerophospholipid, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism. Among the 21 metabolites, arginine and glycochenodeoxycholic acid were positively associated with AECOPD during the three months of follow-up, with an area under the curve of 72.50% and 67.14%, respectively. Discussion PM2.5 exposure can lead to changes in multiple metabolic pathways that contribute to the development of AECOPD, and arginine is a bridge between PM2.5 exposure and AECOPD.

Abstract
The risk assessment of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops on nontarget pests has received much attention. Despite the knowledge of various beneficial bacterial symbionts in pests, whether Bt proteins affect these symbionts and subsequently alter the pest's ecology remains largely unknown. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is one of the most serious nontarget pests in Bt cotton. Here, we explored the Bt Cry1Ac protein-induced changes in whitefly symbiont abundance and the subsequent effects on whitefly response against a naturally prevalent entomopathogenic fungus Cordyceps javanica. The obligate symbiont 'Candidatus Portiera aleyrodidarum' (hereafter P. aleyrodidarum) as well as facultative symbionts 'Candidatus Hamiltonella defensa' (hereafter H. defensa), 'Candidatus Cardinium hertigii' (hereafter C. hertigii) and 'Candidatus Rickettsia bellii' (hereafter R. bellii) dominate the microbial community of whiteflies. The Bt exposure had no effects on H. defensa infected (H) and H. defensa-C. hertigii doubly infected (HC) whiteflies, but decreased the total copy number of symbionts as well as the R. bellii proportion in H. defensa-C. hertigii- R. bellii triply infected whiteflies (HCR). C. javanica caused whitefly adults 100 % mortality within 8 days. Without Bt protein exposure, HCR whiteflies survived significantly longer than H and HC whiteflies sprayed by C. javanica, suggesting that R. bellii confers protection. However, in Bt-exposed groups, C. javanica generated synchronous death of H, HC and HCR whiteflies. Specifically, in H and HC whiteflies, Bt protein-exposure showed no significant difference in progress of death caused by C. javanica. But in HCR whiteflies, Bt exposure hastened death induced by C. javanica, suppressing the R. bellii-conferred protection. This is the first report revealing that Bt protein altered symbiont community conferred adverse effects on nontarget pests, providing a new perspective for Bt risk assessment and biocontrol strategies of nontarget pests.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate and summarize the effectiveness and safety of CT-guided microcoil localization before video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for the removal of ground-glass opacity (GGO). METHODS A total of 147 patients with GGO who were treated at our hospital between January 2019 and February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups according to the final position at the end of the microcoil: intracavity (n = 78) and extracavity (n = 69), which were compared based on puncture complications and influence of the coil end position on VATS. RESULTS The proportions of supine and prone positions in the intracavity group were significantly higher than those in the extracavity group (82.1% vs. 66.7%, P < 0.05). The incidence of intrapulmonary hemorrhage, chest pain, and coil displacement in the intracavity group was significantly lower than that in the extracavity group (28.2% vs. 46.4%, 19.2% vs. 39.1%, 1.3% vs. 11.6%, P < 0.05, respectively); however, the incidence of pneumothorax was not significantly different (P > 0.05). The time of VATS and the rate of conversion to thoracotomy in the intracavity group were significantly lower than those in the extracavity group (103.4 ± 21.0 min vs. 112.2 ± 17.3 min, 0% vs. 5.8%, P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION CT-guided placement of the microcoil is a practical, simple, and convenient localization method before VATS, with a high success rate and few complications. Furthermore, it is a better alternative method to place the end of the coil in the pleural cavity because of the lower complication rate, shorter VATS time, and lower rate of thoracotomy conversion.

Abstract
In a joint effort of both experiments and first-principles calculations, we resolve a hotly debated controversy and provide a coherent picture on the pure spin transport between Ag/Bi and ferromagnets. We demonstrate a strong inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) at the interface in between Ag/Bi with a ferromagnetic metal (FM) but not with a ferromagnetic insulator. This is in sharp contrast to the previously claimed IREE at Ag/Bi interface or inverse spin Hall effect dominated spin transport. A more than one order of magnitude modulation of IREE signal is realized for different Ag/Bi-FM interfaces, casting strong tunability and a new direction for searching efficient spintronics materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on the association of greenness with respiratory health are scarce in developing countries, and previous studies in China have focused on only one or two indicators of lung function. OBJECTIVE The study aims to evaluate the associations of residential greenness with full-spectrum lung function indicators and prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS This nationwide cross-sectional survey included 50,991 participants from the China Pulmonary Health study. Lung function indicators included four categories: indicators of obstructive ventilatory dysfunction (FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC); an indicator of large-airway dysfunction (PEF); indicators of small-airway dysfunction (FEF25-75% and FEV3/FEV6); and other indicators. Residential greenness was assessed by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Multivariable linear regression models and logistic regression models were used to analyze associations of greenness with lung function and COPD prevalence. RESULTS Within the 500 m buffer, an interquartile range (IQR) increase in NDVI was associated with higher FEV1 (24.76 mL), FVC (16.52 mL), FEV1/FVC (0.38), FEF50% (56.34 mL/s), FEF75% (33.43 mL/s), FEF25-75% (60.73 mL/s), FEV3 (18.59 mL), and FEV6 (21.85 mL). However, NDVI was associated with lower PEF. In addition, NDVI was significantly associated with 10% lower odds of COPD. The stratified analyses found that the associations were only significant in middle-young people, females, and nonsmokers. The associations were influenced by geographic regions. CONCLUSIONS Residential greenness was associated with better lung function and lower odds of COPD in China. These findings provide a scientific basis for healthy community planning.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous transluminal forceps biopsy (PTFB) with an adjustable curved sheath in patients with obstructive jaundice. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-two patients who underwent PTFB with an adjustable curved sheath were analyzed retrospectively. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV) and accuracy were calculated for all populations and in different situations. Technical success and safety were evaluated. RESULTS The technical success rate was 100%. Thirty-five of 42 cases were diagnosed malignant diseases, the sensitivity of PTFB with an adjustable curved sheath was 74.29% (26/35), the specificity was 100%, the positive predictive value was 100%, the negative predictive value was 43.75% (7/16), and the accuracy rate was 78.57% (33/42). There was a better sensitivity for bile duct malignancies when compared with non-bile duct malignancies (p = 0.012). No statistical difference was found in the sensitivity of the upper part of the biliary tree and the lower part of the biliary tree, and none in the sensitivity of different approaches (left vs. right). The complication rate was 11.90%, and no serious complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS PTFB with an adjustable curved sheath is an effective and safe technique, without being limited by approaches and obstruction sites.

Abstract
Background Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous disease with distinct disease phenotypes and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in numerous functionally different biological and physiological processes. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in patients with asthma and further explore the functions and interactions between lncRNAs and mRNAs. Methods Ten patients with asthma and 9 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. RNA was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We performed microarray analysis to evaluate lncRNA and mRNA expression. The functions of the differentially expressed mRNAs were analyzed by Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses. A global signal transduction network was constructed to identify the core mRNAs. An lncRNA–mRNA network was constructed. Five mRNAs showing the greatest differences in expression levels or high degrees in the gene–gene functional interaction network, with their correlated lncRNAs, were validated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results We identified 2229 differentially expressed mRNAs and 1397 lncRNAs between the asthma and control groups. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis identified many pathways associated with inflammation and cell survival. The gene–gene functional interaction network suggested that some core mRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. The lncRNA–mRNA co-expression network revealed correlated lncRNAs. CXCL8, FOXO3, JUN, PIK3CA, and G0S2 and their related lncRNAs NONHSAT115963, AC019050.1, MTCYBP3, KB-67B5.12, and HNRNPA1P12 were identified according to their differential expression levels and high degrees in the gene–gene network. Conclusions We identified the core mRNAs and their related lncRNAs and predicted the biological processes and signaling pathways involved in asthma.

Abstract
Summary at a glance Bronchiolitis obliterans in paraneoplastic pemphigus associated with Castleman disease possesses the progressive nature even when it is treated with intensive medical therapy. Antibodies were at least in low titers before the Lung transplant and remain negative after the procedure. Explanted lungs showed coexistence of cellular destructive bronchiolitis and constrictive bronchiolitis. Background Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) associated with Castleman disease (CD) possesses the progressive nature of pulmonary disease even when it is treated with intensive medical therapy. Lung transplantation (LT) offers an acceptable form of treatment. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of two cases of BO in PNP associated with CD who underwent LT between March 2017 and March 2020 at the China‐Japan Friendship Hospital. We also included one case from the literature. Results In this patient series, PNP was the primary clinical presentation in all patients, and it was accompanied by respiratory symptoms before/after CD excision. In spite of being treated with various combinations of immunosuppressive and anti‐inflammatory agents, the patients had great or total improvement in mucosal erosions, whereas their pulmonary function test (PFT) deteriorated gradually or sharply. The duration times from disease onset to timing of LT were 1, 2 and 5 years. All antibodies were negative or were present at low titers before the LT procedure and remain negative after the procedure. The histopathological features of explanted lungs showed cellular and coexistent destructive bronchiolitis and constrictive bronchiolitis in two cases. Granulation with numerous foamy macrophages, scattered giant cells and cholesterol clefts were especially prominent in case one. Conclusion BO in PNP associated with CD had poor clinical outcomes. LT was preferable choice in end‐stage BO when PNP and CD were controlled.

Abstract
Entomopathogenic bacteria are commonly used as biological agents to control different insect pests. However, little is known about the role of bacterial entomopathogens as endophytes in regulating both plant growth and resistance against insect pests. Here, we applied the entomopathogenic bacterium Serratia marcescens S-JS1 via rice seed inoculation and evaluated its effects on host plant growth and resistance against the rice pest Nilaparvata lugens. Furthermore, the induction of defense-related secondary metabolites by the bacterium was assessed by GC-MS/MS. We showed that S-JS1 was able to endophytically colonize the roots and shoots of rice seedlings following seed inoculation. Colonized plants showed increased seed germination (9.4-13.3 %), root (8.2-36.4 %) and shoot lengths (4.1-22.3 %), and root (26.7-69.3 %) and shoot fresh weights (19.0-49.0 %) compared to plants without inoculation. We also identified the production of indole-3-acetic acid by S-JS1, which is likely involved in enhancing rice plant growth. In a two-choice test, N. lugens adults preferred to feed on untreated control plants than on plants treated with S-JS1. In the no-choice feeding tests, the survival of N. lugens nymphs that fed on S-JS1-treated plants was significantly lower than that of nymphs that fed on untreated plants. Additionally, seeds treated with 109 cfu/mL S-JS1 resulted in elevated levels of secondary metabolites, which may be associated with N. lugens resistance in rice plants. Therefore, we suggest that the entomopathogenic bacterium S. marcescens be considered a potentially promising endophyte for use in an innovative strategy for the integrated management of insect pests.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic inflammation, emphysema, airway remodeling, and altered lung function. Despite the canonical classification of COPD as a neutrophilic disease, blood and airway eosinophilia are found in COPD patients. Identifying the tools to assess eosinophilic airway inflammation in COPD models during stable disease and exacerbations will enable the development of novel anti-eosinophilic treatments. We developed different animal models to mimic the pathological features of COPD. Our results show that eosinophils accumulated in the lungs of pancreatic porcine elastase-treated mice, with emphysema arising from the alveolar septa. A lipopolysaccharide challenge significantly increased IL-17 levels and induced a swift change from a type-2 response to an IL-17-driven inflammatory response. However, lipopolysaccharides can exacerbate cigarette smoking-induced airway inflammation dominated by neutrophil infiltration and airway remodeling in COPD models. Our results suggest that eosinophils may be associated with emphysema arising from the alveolar septa, which may be different from the small airway disease-associated emphysema that is dominated by neutrophilic inflammation in cigarette smoke-induced models. The characterization of heterogeneity seen in the COPD-associated inflammatory signature could pave the way for personalized medicine to identify new and effective therapeutic approaches for COPD.

Abstract
What is already known about this topic? Short-term exposure to air pollutants has been associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, which needs continuous observation. What is added by this report? This study uses the longest time series data so far from 2013 to 2018 and adds additional data analysis for ozone (O3) to existing studies. What are the implications for public health practice? This study suggests that air pollutants have certain acute effects on outpatient and hospital admission of patients with COPD and asthma, which can be combined with the disease diagnosis and treatment guidelines to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose To identify clinical features and outcomes associated with pulmonary heart disease among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation (COPD), which may help reduce economic burden accrued over hospital stay and shorten length of stay (LOS). Patients and Methods Totally, 4386 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) classified into pulmonary heart disease (PHD) group and non-pulmonary heart disease group, were included from the ACURE registry, a prospective multicenter patient registry study. Clinical features and outcomes were compared between groups. Results PHD patients had a more severe profile, including having higher scores of COPD assessment test and modified British Medical Research Council, worse lung function, more patients hospitalized more than once in the past year due to acute exacerbation of COPD, and more comorbidities. Furthermore, drug cost was higher and length of stay was longer in AECOPD patients with PHD. Conclusion AECOPD patients with PHD had a more severe profile and worse clinical outcomes, including higher drug cost and longer LOS. PHD is an independent risk factor of drug cost and LOS. Complicated with PHD in COPD/AECOPD patients with PHD means heavier disease burden and worse prognosis. It merits further study to focus on PHD management in COPD/AECOPD patients.

Abstract
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is an important environmental factor affecting human health. However, most studies on PM2.5 and health have used data from fixed monitoring sites to assess PM2.5 exposure, which may have introduced misleading information on the exposure-response relationship. We aimed to assess the effect of short-term personal PM2.5 exposure on lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. To achieve this, we conducted a longitudinal panel study among 37 COPD patients and 45 asthma patients from Beijing, China. The COPD group and the asthma group completed 148 and 180 lung function tests, respectively. We found that in COPD patients, for every 10-μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure at lag2, the FEV1, FVC and DLco decreased by -0.014 L (95% CI -0.025, -0.003), -0.025 L (95% CI -0.050, -0.003) and -0.089 mmol/min/kPa (95% CI -0.156, -0.023), respectively. There was also a decrease of -0.023 L/s (95% CI -0.042, -0.003) and -0.017 L/s (95% CI -0.032, -0.002) in MMEF at lag3 and lag03, respectively. In the asthma group, every 10-μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure led to a reduction of -0.012 L (95% CI -0.023, -0.001), -0.042 L (95% CI -0.081, -0.003) and -0.061 L/s (95% CI -0.116, -0.004) in the FEV1, FVC and PEF at lag3, respectively. Our findings suggest that PM2.5 exposure may primarily affect both airway function and lung diffusion function in COPD patients, and airway function in asthma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Persistent abnormal proliferation and long distant metastasis of tumors contribute to high mortality rate in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Strategies that prevent NSCLC proliferation and/or metastasis have been studied but still need to be further explored. Numerous studies have proved the diversity functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) exerted in cancer, including NSCLC. In this study, we aim to identify and investigate the role of novel lncRNAs in NSCLC progression. METHODS RNA sequence data were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were screened out based on the R language, then real-time PCR experiment was introduced to detect the DElncRNA expression levels. A series of experiments including MTT, cell cycle, transwell, and wound healing assays were employed to explore the effect of DElncRNA MGC27382 on cell proliferation and invasion ability. RESULTS We detected that DElncRNA MGC27382 is down-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. Overexpression of MGC27382 prevented NSCLC cell proliferation via down-regulating cyclin D1 and cyclin E. Moreover, wound healing and transwell assays indicated that the ability of cell invasion and migration could be impaired when cells were treated with MGC27382 overexpression. Further studies demonstrated that MGC27382-mediated inhibition on NSCLC progression can be impaired by LY294002, which is a frequently used inhibitor of AKT/GSK3β pathway. CONCLUSION MGC27382 is down-regulated in NSCLC. It exerts an inhibitory role in NSCLC development through suppressing the AKT/GSK3β pathway. Our results indicate that the lncRNA MGC27382 might be a tumor-suppressor gene in NSCLC. Overexpression of MGC27382 is thought to be a potential strategy for overcoming NSCLC progression.

Abstract
Objective To study changes in T lymphocyte subsets, cytokines, and liver enzymes in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) before and after external biliary drainage (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography drainage, PTCD) and internal biliary drainage (percutaneous transhepatic insertion of biliary stents, PTIBS). Methods MOJ patients undergoing PTCD (n = 44) and PTIBS (n = 38) at our hospital were enrolled in the study from January 2017 until December 2019. Peripheral blood total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), CD3+%, CD4+%, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured before and 1 week after biliary drainage. Results There was no significant difference in any parameter between the two groups before biliary drainage. TBIL, DBIL, AST and ALT following PTCD were significantly lower than before PTCD. By contrast, CD3+%, CD4+%, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, IL-2, IL-6 and TNF-α showed no significant difference before and 1 week after PTCD. TBIL, DBIL, AST, ALT, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower following PTIBS than before PTIBS. CD3+%, CD4+%, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and IL-2 were significantly higher following PTIBS than before PTIBS. Conclusion Both PTCD and PTIBS were effective for treatment of MOJ, but PTIBS was more beneficial for recovery of immune function.

Abstract
AIMS Infantile eczema, usually coupled with a range of hypersensitive phenotypes, has come into notice with its rising prevalence and unclear pathogenesis. Recent studies show close ties between eczema and an infant's intestinal flora. To gain a further understanding of the interactions between microbiota and eczema, we studied the breast milk flora as a new factor and present the links among breast milk flora, infant intestinal flora and infantile eczema through a cohort study in Northeast China. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-two families were recruited with either an eczema or healthy infant younger than 6 months. Analysis and predictions using amplicon sequencing of microbiota found that Bifidobacterium and Bacteroidetes were enriched in healthy and eczema infant stools, respectively, consistent with previous reports. For breast milk flora, more 'positive' bacteria such as Akkermansia were enriched in breast milk from healthy infants' mothers. Further, higher bacterial delivery efficiencies were found in pairs of breast milk flora and infants' stool flora of families with eczema infants compared with families with healthy infants. Bacteroidetes, a widely known indicator of eczema, was found delivered more in eczema pairs. Further metagenomic predictions revealed that the breast milk microbiota participated significantly less in metabolism and immune system pathways, particularly in antigen processing and presentation and in Th17 cell-related pathways. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, as with other components of breast milk, the breast milk microbiota closely associates with infants' health via mother-infant bacterial delivery and metabolic functions. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our research aimed to fill the gap between the eczema and breast milk flora and describe the connections among breast milk and intestinal flora and eczema.

Abstract
Microplastics can alter microbial communities and enzymatic activities in soils. However, the influences of microplastics on soil carbon cycling which driven by microbial communities remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of polyester microfiber (PMF) and natural organic matter(OM)on soil microbial communities, carbon-degraded enzymes, and carbon accumulation through an incubation experiment. Our results showed that the addition of PMF increased the activities of soil cellulase and laccase but did not impact soil bacterial and fungal communities too much. However, the addition of OM largely altered soil microbial communities and the activities of carbon-degraded enzymes, then mitigated the PMF effects on the activities of soil cellulase and laccase. On the other hand, greater alpha diversity of bacterial community attached on PMF was observed than those in the surrounding soils. The interaction of PMF and OM increased the richness of bacterial community in soils and on PMF. More importantly, we observed that the accumulation of natural organic carbon in soils reduced with increasing PMF. Thus, our results provide valuable insights into the effects of microplastics on soil organic carbon dynamics and microbial communities, and further work is required to clarify the biochemical processes at the surface of microplastics.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to give a comprehensive overview of characteristics and evaluate in-hospital clinical outcomes among hospitalized acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients in China using data from the AECOPD inpatient registry (ACURE). PATIENTS AND METHODS The ACURE is an ongoing, national, multicenter, observational registry. Participants enrolled during phase I stage (1st September 2017 to 25th February 2020) of ACURE with confirmed AECOPD diagnoses were studied. Descriptive analyses were conducted to describe features and occurrences of in-hospital clinical outcomes of AECOPD inpatients in real-world China. RESULTS A total of 5334 AECOPD inpatients from 163 sites in 28 provinces or province-level municipalities were included. Among all participants, 78.8% were males and the median age was 69.0 [interquartile range (IQR): 63.0-76.0] years. The proportions of current and former smokers were 23.6% and 44.2%, respectively. The median age at COPD diagnosis was 64.0 (IQR: 57.0-71.0) years and 88.7% participants demonstrated at least one comorbidity. During stable period, only 56.9% subjects received pharmacological therapies and the influenza vaccination rate was 2.9%. During hospitalization, 99.5% subjects received pharmacological treatments and antibiotics were prescribed to 90.9% participants. The all-cause in-hospital mortality was 0.1% and no significant difference was found across hospital categories. CONCLUSION Clinical features of Chinese AECOPD inpatients were different from those of other populations. In real-world China, the clinical management during stable period was unsatisfied, whereas therapy during hospitalization was effective regarding in-hospital clinical outcomes regardless of hospital category.

Abstract
Background Co-infection of endosymbionts in the same host is ubiquitous, and the interactions of the most common symbiont Wolbachia with other symbionts, including Spiroplasma, in invertebrate organisms have received increasing attention. However, the interactions between Wolbachia and Arsenophonus, another widely distributed symbiont in nature, are poorly understood. We tested the co-infection of Wolbachia and Arsenophonus in different populations of Nilaparvata lugens and investigated whether co-infection affected the population size of the symbionts in their host. Results A significant difference was observed in the co-infection incidence of Wolbachia and Arsenophonus among 5 populations of N. lugens from China, with nearly half of the individuals in the Zhenjiang population harbouring the two symbionts simultaneously, and the rate of occurrence was significantly higher than that of the other 4 populations. The Arsenophonus density in the superinfection line was significantly higher only in the Maanshan population compared with that of the single-infection line. Differences in the density of Wolbachia and Arsenophonus were found in all the tested double-infection lines, and the dominant symbiont species varied with the population only in the Nanjing population, with Arsenophonus the overall dominant symbiont. Conclusions Wolbachia and Arsenophonus could coexist in N. lugens, and the co-infection incidence varied with the geographic populations. Antagonistic interactions were not observed between Arsenophonus and Wolbachia, and the latter was the dominant symbiont in most populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify factors associated with length of stay (LOS) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) hospitalised patients, which may help shorten LOS and reduce economic burden accrued over hospital stay. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING This study was performed in a tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS Patients with COPD who were aged ≥40 years and newly admitted between 2016 and 2017. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES LOS at initial admission was the primary outcome and health expenditures were the secondary outcome. To identify factors associated with LOS, we collected information at index hospitalisation and constructed a conceptual model using directed acyclic graph. Potential factors were classified into five groups: demographic information, disease severity, comorbidities, hospital admission and environmental factors. Negative binomial regression model was fitted for each block of factors and a parsimonious analysis was performed. RESULTS In total, we analysed 565 patients with COPD. The mean age was 69±11 years old and 69.4% were men. The median LOS was 10 (interquartile range 8-14) days. LOS was significantly longer in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) (16 vs 10 days, p=0.0002) or with osteoporosis (15 vs 10 days, p=0.0228). VTE ((rate ratio) RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.76), hypoxic-hypercarbic encephalopathy (RR 1.53, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.20), respiratory infection (RR 1.12, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.24), osteoporosis (RR 1.45, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.96) and emergence admission (RR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.16) were associated with longer LOS. In parsimonious analysis, all these factors remained significant except emergency admission, highlighting the important role of concomitant morbidities in patients' hospital stay. Total hospitalisation cost and patients' out-of-pocket cost increased monotonically with LOS (both ptrend <0.0001). CONCLUSION Patients' concomitant morbidities predicted excessive LOS in patients with COPD. Healthcare cost increased over the LOS. Quality improvement initiatives may need to identify patients at high risk for lengthy stay and implement early interventions to reduce COPD economic burden.

Abstract
Maintaining an adaptive seasonality is a basic ecological requisite for cold-blooded organism insects which usually harbor various symbionts. However, how coexisting symbionts coordinate in insects during seasonal progress is still unknown. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci in China harbors the obligate symbiont Portiera that infects each individual, as well as various facultative symbionts. In this study, we investigated whitefly populations in cucumber and cotton fields from May to December 2019, aiming to reveal the fluctuations of symbiont infection frequencies, symbiont coordination in multiple infected individuals, and host plants effects on symbiont infections. The results indicated that the facultative symbionts Hamiltonella (H), Rickettsia (R), and Cardinium (C) exist in field whiteflies, with single (H) and double (HC and HR) infections occurring frequently. Infection frequencies of Hamiltonella (always 100%) and Cardinium (29.50-34.38%) remained steady during seasonal progression. Rickettsia infection frequency in the cucumber whitefly population decreased from 64.47% in summer to 35.29% in winter. Significantly lower Rickettsia infection frequency (15.55%) was identified in cotton whitefly populations and was not subject to seasonal fluctuation. Nevertheless, Rickettsia had a significantly quantitative advantage in the symbiont community of whitefly individuals and populations from both cucumber and cotton field all through the seasons. Moreover, higher Portiera and Hamiltonella densities were found in HC and HR whitefly than in H whitefly, suggesting these symbionts may contribute to producing nutrients for their symbiont partners. These results provide ample cues to further explore the interactions between coexisting symbionts, the coevolutionary relationship between symbionts and host symbiont-induced effects on host plant use.

Abstract
Background Diabetes is a common comorbidity among patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Diabetes has been reported to be associated with length of stay (LOS), death, and cost among AECOPD patients. However, most studies are retrospective or have small sample sizes. The association for cost has not been researched using diabetes as a main analytic factor. This study aimed to fill gaps mentioned above, to compare basic characteristics between the diabetic and non-diabetic group, and to detect associations between diabetes and clinical outcomes among patients hospitalized with AECOPD. Methods A total of 5334 AECOPD patients, classified into diabetic and non-diabetic group, were included from a prospective multicenter patient registry study. Generalized linear regression and logistic regression were separately used for the association between diabetes and direct hospitalization cost and the association between diabetes and LOS. Results Generally, diabetic patients had a more severe profile, including being older, more overweight or obese, having more former smokers, more emergency room visits in the past 12 months, and more comorbidities occurrence. Diabetic patients also had worse clinical outcomes, including higher cost and longer LOS. Additionally, the generalized linear regression indicated that the marginal mean cost difference between diabetic and non-diabetic patients was RMB (¥) 775.7. Conclusions AECOPD patients with comorbid diabetes had a more severe profile and higher direct hospitalization cost. Diabetes screening and integrated care programs might help reduce the heavy comorbidity and economic burden. Moreover, corticosteroids and metformin could be considered in the treatment of these patients. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov with the identifier NCT0265752.

Abstract
As life expectancy increases, frailty and cognitive impairment have become major factors influencing healthy aging in elderly individuals. Frailty is a complicated clinical condition characterized by decreased physiological reserve and multisystem abnormalities. Cognitive frailty is a subtype of frailty that has aroused widespread concern among the scientific community and public health organizations. We herein review the pathogenesis of cognitive frailty, such as chronic inflammatory response, immunological hypofunction, imbalanced oxidative stress, reduced regenerative function, endocrine dysfunction, and energy metabolism disorder. Although existing interventions show some therapeutic effects, they do not meet the current clinical needs. To date, studies using stem cell technology for treating age-related diseases have achieved remarkable success. This suggests the possibility of applying stem cell treatment to cognitive frailty. We analyzed stem cell-based strategies for targeting anti-inflammation, antioxidation, regeneration, and immunoregulation using mesenchymal stem cells, as well as potential therapeutic targets for cognitive frailty. Based on this investigation, we propose a highly effective and low-cost stem cell-based replacement strategy. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the prospect of stem cell transplantation for improving cognitive frailty. In this review, we aim to provide the scientific background and a theoretical basis for testing cell therapy in future research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the potential functions of miR-137-5p and interleukin-10R1 (IL-10R1) in mediating the immune inflammation after spinal cord injury (SCI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Firstly, primary microglia were isolated from the spinal cord of newborn rats. Expression levels of miR-137-5p and IL-10R1 in LPS-induced microglia were determined by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). In addition, mRNA expressions of Janus kinase (Jak1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were also examined by qRT-PCR. SCI model in rats was established and randomly assigned to three different groups: Sham group, SCI group and miR-137-5p mimic group. Within one week of spinal injury, relative levels of miR-137-5p and IL-10R1 in rats of different groups were detected by qRT-PCR. The mRNA levels of JAK1, tyrosine kinase (Tyk2) and STAT3 in rats were also measured. Moreover, protein expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 in rats was measured by Western blotting. Finally, the improvement of locomotor function in three groups of rats within 4 weeks via BBB rating scale. RESULTS Transfection of miR-137-5p mimics upregulated relative levels of IL-10R1, JAK1 and STAT3 in in vitro cultured microglia. Similarly, IL-10R1/JAK1/STAT3 pathway was activated in rats administrated with miR-137-5p mimics. Nevertheless, relative levels of classical inflammatory stimulators IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were downregulated accordingly by miR-137-5p overexpression. Moreover, miR-137-5p effectively improved the locomotor function of rats after SCI. CONCLUSIONS MiR-137-5p exerts an anti-inflammatory response by upregulating IL-10R1, thus improving locomotor function and alleviating spinal cord injury.
