Abstract
Objective: To understand the baseline viral load (VL) of newly reported HIV- infected patients before antiretroviral therapy and related factors in Tianjin. Methods: Data were obtained from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System, and the study subjects were HIV-infected patients before the first antiretroviral therapy in Tianjin from 2019 to 2022, and the information about their socio-demographic characteristics, baseline CD4+T lymphocyte (CD4) counts before antiretroviral therapy and baseline VL test results were collected, the baseline high VL was defined as ≥100 000 copies/ml. The effect of different factors on viral load were analyzed. Software SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 1 296 newly reported HIV-infected patients were included in the study, in whom 15.89% (206/1 296) had high baseline VL, and multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that those with history of STD (aOR=1.45, 95%CI:1.00-2.08) were more likely to have high baseline VL. Compared with those with baseline CD4 counts <200 cells/μl, those with baseline CD4 counts 200-350 cells/μl (aOR=0.40, 95%CI: 0.27-0.57), 351-500 cells/μl (aOR=0.32, 95%CI: 0.20-0.49), and >500 cells/μl (aOR=0.30, 95%CI: 0.18-0.49) were less likely to have high baseline VL. Conclusions: The proportion of HIV-infected patients with high baseline VL before antiretroviral therapy was low in Tianjin during 2019-2022. History of STD and baseline CD4 counts <200 cells/μl were associated with high baseline VL in HIV-infected patients, to which close attention needs to be paid in AIDS prevention and control.

Abstract
The optimal treatment for tracheal tumors necessitates sequential tumor elimination and tracheal cartilage reconstruction. This study introduces an innovative inorganic nanosheet, MnO2 /PDA@Cu, comprising manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) loaded with copper ions (Cu) through in situ polymerization using polydopamine (PDA) as an intermediary. Additionally, a specialized methacrylic anhydride modified decellularized cartilage matrix (MDC) hydrogel with chondrogenic effects is developed by modifying a decellularized cartilage matrix with methacrylic anhydride. The MnO2 /PDA@Cu nanosheet is encapsulated within MDC-derived microneedles, creating a photothermal-controllable MnO2 /PDA@Cu-MDC microneedle. Effectiveness evaluation involved deep insertion of the MnO2 /PDA@Cu-MDC microneedle into tracheal orthotopic tumor in a murine model. Under 808 nm near-infrared irradiation, facilitated by PDA, the microneedle exhibited rapid overheating, efficiently eliminating tumors. PDA's photothermal effects triggered controlled MnO2 and Cu release. The MnO2 nanosheet acted as a potent inorganic nanoenzyme, scavenging reactive oxygen species for an antioxidant effect, while Cu facilitated angiogenesis. This intervention enhanced blood supply at the tumor excision site, promoting stem cell enrichment and nutrient provision. The MDC hydrogel played a pivotal role in creating a chondrogenic niche, fostering stem cells to secrete cartilaginous matrix. In conclusion, the MnO2 /PDA@Cu-MDC microneedle is a versatile platform with photothermal control, sequentially combining antitumor, antioxidant, pro-angiogenic, and chondrogenic activities to orchestrate precise tracheal tumor eradication and cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have transformed the treatment landscape for hematological malignancies. However, CAR T cells are less efficient against solid tumors, largely due to poor infiltration resulting from the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we assessed the efficacy of Lewis Y antigen (LeY)-specific CAR T cells in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of prostate cancer. In vitro, LeY CAR T cells directly killed organoids derived from androgen receptor (AR)-positive or AR-null PDXs. In vivo, although LeY CAR T cells alone did not reduce tumor growth, a single prior dose of carboplatin reduced tumor burden. Carboplatin had a pro-inflammatory effect on the TME that facilitated early and durable CAR T cell infiltration, including an altered cancer-associated fibroblast phenotype, enhanced extracellular matrix degradation and re-oriented M1 macrophage differentiation. In a PDX less sensitive to carboplatin, CAR T cell infiltration was dampened; however, a reduction in tumor burden was still observed with increased T cell activation. These findings indicate that carboplatin improves the efficacy of CAR T cell treatment, with the extent of the response dependent on changes induced within the TME.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of posterior root of spinal nerve in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Methods: A total of 102 PHN patients (42 males and 60 females) aged (69.7±9.4) years who underwent CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of posterior root of spinal nerve in the Department of Pain Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2017 to April 2020 were retrospectively included. Patients were followed up, and numerical rating scale (NRS) score, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), satisfaction score and complications before surgery (T0) and at 1 d (T1), 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3), 9 months (T4) and 12 months (T5) after surgery were recorded. Results: The NRS score of PHN patients at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 [M(Q1, Q3)] was 6(6, 7), 2(2, 3), 3(2, 4), 3(2, 4), 2(1, 4), 2(1, 4), respectively. Likewise, the PSQI score [M(Q1, Q3)] at aforementioned time points was 14(13, 16), 4(3, 6), 6(4, 8), 5(4, 6), 4(2, 8), 4(2, 9), respectively. Compared with T0, the NRS and PSQI scores at all time points from T1 to T5 were lower, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). The overall effective rate of surgery at 1 year postoperatively was 71.6% (73/102) with a satisfaction score of 8(5, 9), and the recurrence rate was 14.7% (15/102) with a recurrence time of (7.5±0.8) months. The main postoperative complication was numbness, with an incidence of 86.0% (88/102), and the degree of numbness gradually decreased with time. Conclusion: CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of posterior root of spinal nerve for PHN has a high effective rate and a low recurrence rate, with high safety profile, and may be a feasible surgical option for the treatment of PHN.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to clone the mRNA sequence of the ACADL gene of goats and explore the effect of ACADL on the differentiation of subcutaneous fat cells on this basis. Methods We obtained the ACADL gene of goats by cloning and used -qPCR to detect the ACADL expression patterns of different goat tissues and subcutaneous fat cells at different lipid induction stages. In addition, we transfect intramuscular and subcutaneous adipocytes separately by constructing overexpressed ACADL vectors and synthesizing Si-ACADL; Finally, we observed the changes in oil red stained cell levels under the microscope, and qPCR detected changes in mRNA levels. Results The results showed goat ACADL gene expressed in sebum fat. During adipocyte differentiation, ACADL gradually increased from 0 to 24 h of culture, and decreased. Overexpression of ACADL promoted differentiation of subcutaneous adipocytes in goat and inhibited their differentiation after interference. Conclusion So, we infer ACADL may have an important role in positive regulating the differentiation process in goat subcutaneous adipocytes. This study will provide basic data for further study of the role of ACADL in goat subcutaneous adipocyte differentiation and lays the foundation for final elucidating of its molecular mechanisms in regulating subcutaneous fat deposition in goats.

Abstract
A new broad-energy, high-resolution gamma ray spectrometer (GRS) with Compton suppression function has been developed recently in the HL-2A tokamak to obtain the gamma ray information in the energy range of 0.1-10 MeV. This is the first time to develop an anti-Compton GRS for a magnetic confinement fusion device. The anticoincidence detector consists of a large-volume high purity germanium (HPGe) crystal (Φ63 × 63 mm2) as the primary detector and eight trapezoidal bismuth germinate (BGO) scintillators (trapezoid crystal with 30 mm thickness) as the secondary detector. The anti-coincidence data processing is implemented by a digital-based data acquisition system with fast digitization and software signal processing technology. Using radioisotope gamma ray sources and Monte Carlo N-Particle code, the energy and efficiency of the spectrometer have been calibrated and quantitatively tested. The Compton continuum suppression factor reaches 4.2, and the energy resolution (Full Width at Half Maximum) of the 1.332 MeV full energy peak for 60Co is 2.1 keV. Measurements of gamma ray spectra with Compton suppression using the spectrometer have been successfully performed during HL-2A discharges with different conditions. The performance of the spectrometer and the first experimental results are presented in this paper.

Abstract
We present improved germanium-based constraints on sub-GeV dark matter via dark matter-electron (χ-e) scattering using the 205.4 kg·day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment. Using a novel calculation technique, we attain predicted χ-e scattering spectra observable in high-purity germanium detectors. In the heavy mediator scenario, our results achieve 3 orders of magnitude of improvement for m_{χ} larger than 80 MeV/c^{2} compared to previous germanium-based χ-e results. We also present the most stringent χ-e cross-section limit to date among experiments using solid-state detectors for m_{χ} larger than 90 MeV/c^{2} with heavy mediators and m_{χ} larger than 100 MeV/c^{2} with electric dipole coupling. The result proves the feasibility and demonstrates the vast potential of a new χ-e detection method with high-purity germanium detectors in ultralow radioactive background.

Abstract
A search for exotic dark matter (DM) in the sub-GeV mass range has been conducted using 205 kg day data taken from a p-type point contact germanium detector of the CDEX-10 experiment at China's Jinping underground laboratory. New low-mass dark matter searching channels, neutral current fermionic DM absorption (χ+A→ν+A) and DM-nucleus 3→2 scattering (χ+χ+A→ϕ+A), have been analyzed with an energy threshold of 160 eVee. No significant signal was found; thus new limits on the DM-nucleon interaction cross section are set for both models at the sub-GeV DM mass region. A cross section limit for the fermionic DM absorption is set to be 2.5×10^{-46} cm^{2} (90% C.L.) at DM mass of 10 MeV/c^{2}. For the DM-nucleus 3→2 scattering scenario, limits are extended to DM mass of 5 and 14 MeV/c^{2} for the massless dark photon and bound DM final state, respectively.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between methylation in human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16) long control region (LCR) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade ≥2 (CIN2+). Methods: The literature retrieval was conducted by using the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang data and Weipu according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the retrieval period was from the establishment of the databases to February 27th, 2022. Software RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.1 were used for Meta-analysis. Results: A total of 17 literatures were included involving 1 421 subjects. Results of Meta-analysis showed that OR of the correlation between methylation of HPV16 LCR and CIN2+ was 1.56 (95%CI: 0.70-3.47). Subgroup analysis showed that methylation of the 5' terminal, enhancer and promoter regions were not associated with CIN2+, while in four E2 binding sites (E2BS), the methylation of E2BS1, E2BS3 and E2BS4 increased the risk of CIN2+, with the ORs of 3.92 (95%CI: 1.92-7.99), 10.50 (95%CI: 3.67-30.04) and 3.65 (95%CI: 1.58-8.41), respectively. However, subgroup analysis on E2BS2 was not performed due to the limitation of the number of literatures. According to the different sources of population, the risk of CIN2+ in Chinese population was associated with methylation of HPV16 LCR (OR=2.14, 95%CI: 1.31-3.50). There was a correlation between the risk of CIN2+ and HPV16 LCR methylation in the population with pyrosequencing of HPV16 LCR, and OR was 1.75 (95%CI: 1.03-2.98). Conclusion: The risk of CIN2+ is correlated with the methylation of E2BS in HPV16 LCR, which can be used as potential biomarkers.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the effect of silicon dioxide (SiO(2)) on the polarization of alveolar macrophages (AMs) , and to explore the expressions and the significance of signal transducer and activator of transcription-6 (STAT-6) /Krüppel-like factor-4 (KLF-4) /peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors-γ (PPAR-γ) signaling molecules in AMs. Methods: In November 2020, C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into crystalline SiO(2) group and normal saline (NS) group, and 12 mice in each group. Mice were intratracheally instillated with 100 μl crystalline SiO(2) suspension (20 mg/ml) or 100 μl NS, and were sacrificed after 28 days. Masson staining was used to observe the degree of pulmonary fibrosis of mice and hydroxyproline (HYP) level were assessed. The proportions of M1-typed and M2-typed AMs in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BLAF) were analyzed by flow cytometry. The mRNA relative expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) , arginidase-1 (Arg-1) , interleukin (IL) -1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) , IL-6, IL-10, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) , STAT-6, KLF-4 and PPAR-γ were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Activities of iNOS and Arg-1, as well as contents of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and TGF-β were assessed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent. The protein relative expression levels of phosphorylation-signal transducer and activator of transcription-6 (p-STAT-6) , KLF-4 and PPAR-γ were evaluated by immunofluorescence. Results: After 28 days of treatment, the structure of the lung tissue of the mice was destroyed, and the deposition of collagen was significantly increased in the crystalline SiO(2) group. Compared with NS group, HYP level of lung tissue in crystalline SiO(2) group were increased, the proportion of M2-typed AMs in crystalline SiO(2) group was increased, the proportion of M1-typed AMs in crystalline SiO(2) group was decreased, the mRNA relative expressions and contents of Arg-1, IL-10, TGF-β in crystalline SiO(2) group were significantly increased, the mRNA relative expressions and contents of iNOS, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 in crystalline SiO(2) group were significantly decreased, the mRNA of STAT-6, KLF-4, PPAR-γ and the protein relative expression levels of p-STAT-6, KLF-4, PPAR-γ were significantly increased in crystalline SiO(2) group, and the the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Crystalline SiO(2) may mediate the process of pulmonary fibrosis through promote AMs polarization toward M2-typed by activating the STAT-6/KLF-4/PPAR-γ signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between red blood cell folate (RBC folate) and the prognosis of low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 1). Methods: In the married women cohort established in 2014, 564 women with CIN 1 diagnosed by pathology were recruited. The demographic characteristics and factors of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were collected. Meanwhile, the infection status of human papillomavirus (HPV) was detected by molecular diversion hybridization, and the level of RBC folate was measured by chemical photoimmunoassay. After 24 months of follow-up, pathological examination was performed again to observe the prognosis of participants. The women with reversal were taken as the control group,and those with continuous and progressive CIN 1 were taken as the case group respectively. The relationship between RBC folate and CIN 1 outcome was evaluated by logistic regression model. Results: 453 women completed the follow-up, aged (49.72±6.84) years old. CIN 1 was reversed in 342 women, continued in 58 cases and progressed in 53 cases. The RBC folate level M (Q1,Q3) were 399.01 (307.10, 538.97) ng/ml, 316.98 (184.74, 428.49) ng/ml and 247.14 (170.54, 348.97) ng/ml, respectively. With the decrease of RBC folate, the risk of continuous and progressive CIN 1 increased (all P<0.001), while the risk of reversal CIN 1 decreased gradually (P<0.001). Combined with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection status, low level of RBC folate could increase the risk of CIN 1 progression regardless of HR-HPV infection (HR-HPV infection: OR=21.34, 95%CI: 3.98-114.54; HR-HPV uninfection: OR=11.15, 95%CI: 2.34-53.13). Conclusion: Low level of RBC folate could increase the risk of CIN 1 persistence and progression regardless of HR-HPV infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The incidence of SAP (stroke-associated pneumonia) is high in integrated ICU (Intensive Care Unit), and it might result in sepsis, which exacerbates the clinical outcome and increases mortality. It is necessary to investigate the epidemiological features of post-stroke infection and sepsis, identify the risk factors and analyze the prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 329 patients with cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, from seven tertiary university hospitals in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016. Basic demographic and clinical data including common health evaluation, stroke severity, microbiological parameters, surgical interventions and treatments were recorded for the analysis. SAP was diagnosed according to the criteria and recommendation from American Heart Association (AHA). RESULTS 188 (66.4%) patients suffered pneumonia, 124 patients were diagnosed as SAP. Compared with SAP, patients with non-SAP pulmonary infection had prolonged mechanical ventilation time, prolonged central venous catheter indwelling time, and higher incidence of sepsis (17.7% vs. 48.4%). 53 patients (18.7%) developed sepsis during hospitalization, whose mortality rate during hospitalization and the occurrence of neurologic dysfunction at 3 months were significantly increased (p<0.05). 130 positive results of sputum cultures were found. The detected pathogens were mainly gram-negative bacteria. The pathogenic detection rate of non-SAP patients with pulmonary infection was higher (78.1%). The in-hospital mortality was 16.3% and the related risk factors were higher NIHSS score at admission, lower GCS score at admission, pulmonary infection (especially non-SAP pulmonary infection) and sepsis during hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of pulmonary infection after stroke in the integrated ICU is high, and it is easy to be complicated with sepsis, prolonging the mechanical ventilation time, central venous catheter indwelling time and hospitalization time, and the prognosis of long-term neurological function is relatively poor. The definition of stroke-associated pneumonia has implications for the classification of clinical infections, the prediction of possible pathogenic pathogens, and the guidance of anti-infective treatment.

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

Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effects of CT-guided chemical destructive block of lumbar sympathetic nerve in the treatment of cold sensation of limbs. Methods: In this retrospective analysis, clinical data of 43 patients with cold sensation of limbs treated by lumbar sympathetic chemical destructive block in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2015 to January 2018 were collected. The changes of heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), plantar temperature and peripheral perfusion index (PI) of patients were recorded and analyzed before treatment and 5 min after injection of anhydrous ethanol. The patients were followed up at postoperative 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Results: Fourty-three patients underwent bilateral lumbar sympathetic nerve chemical destructive block under the CT-guided, and all patients were punctured to the target successfully. The PI of patients before and after treatment were 1.2±0.6, 7.2±3.0 respectively, which was significantly increased after treatment compared with before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (t=12.386, P<0.05). The plantar temperature of patients before and after treatment respectively were (29.6±1.7)℃, (34.6±1.1)℃, which was significantly increased after treatment compared with before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (t=15.057, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in heart rate, NIBP and SpO(2) between before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Lumbar sympathetic chemical destructive block was clinically effective in 39 patients (90.7%) and ineffective in 4 patients (9.3%). Among the 39 clinically effective patients, the curative effects were excellent in 29 cases and improved in 10 cases. Postoperative recurrence occurred in 10 cases (25.6%). The satisfaction rates of patients at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after operation were 93.0%, 90.7%, 86.0%, 76.7%, 69.7%, 65.1% and 53.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Lumbar sympathetic chemical destructive block is a safe and effective way for the treatment of cold sensation of limbs, which can improve the symptoms of cold sensation of limbs to some extent.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the possible mechanisms of simvastatin-induced apoptosis in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Methods: The experiment was divided into control group (vehicle treated A549 cells), different concentrations (10, 20, 40, 80 mg/L) simvastatin group (simvastatin treated with different concentrations of A549 cells), aspartate specific proteinase (caspase) inhibitor (Z-VAD-FMK) group (50 μmol/L Z-VAD-FMK treated A549 cells), 40 mg/L simvastatin combined with Z-VAD-FMK group (40 mg/L simvastatin combined with 50 μmol/L Z-VAD-FMK co-treated A549 cells), interleukin-6 (IL-6) group (IL-6 acts on A549 cells) and different concentrations (10, 20, 40 mg/L) simvastatin combined with IL-6 group (simvastatin combined with IL-6 act on A549 cells). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) method was used to detect the effect on survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells; Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of simvastatin on A549 cell cycle; Mitochondrial membrane potential-1 (JC-1) fluorescent probe was wsed to detect the effect of simvastatin on mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP); Flow-type phosphatidl serine protein antibody Annexin V/propidium iodide (Annexin V-FITC/PI) double staining method was used to detect the effect of simvastatin on A549 cell apoptosis; CCK8 method was used to detect the effect of Z-VAD-FMK on the survival rate of A549 cells; TdT-mediated 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate (dUTP) nick end labeling (TUNEL) method was used to detect the effect of Z-VAD-FMK on simvastatin-induced apoptosis in A549 cells; Western blot method was used to detect the effect of simvastatin on the expression levels of Janus kinase 2 and activation of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) pathway-related proteins phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2), JAK2, phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3), and STAT3 before and after the activator IL-6 of JAK2/STAT3 pathway acted on A549 cells. Results: The survival rates of A549 cells in the 20-80 mg/L simvastatin-treated groups were significantly lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05), and gradually decreased with the increase of the concentration of the simvastatin and the extension of the action time. The cells in the G(0)/G(1) phase of the simvastatin group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the cells in the G(2)/M phase were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). The MMP of the treatment group with different concentrations of simvastatin was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of the 20 mg/L and 40 mg/L simvastatin-treated group was significantly higher than that of the control group (both P<0.01). The cell survival rate of the 40 mg/L simvastatin group and the 40 mg/L simvastatin combined with Z-VAD-FMK group were (52.2±2.7)% and (57.5±3.8)%, respectively, were lower than that of the control group (100.0±2.7)% (both P<0.01). But the difference between 40 mg/L simvastatin group and the simvastatin combined with Z-VAD-FMK group was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The cell numbers with positive fluorescent staining in the 40 mg/L simvastatin group were significantly more than those in the control group, but the cell numbers with positive fluorescent staining in the 40 mg/L simvastatin combined with Z-VAD-FMK group had no statistical significance compared with the simvastatin group (P>0.05). The specific value of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 protein relative expressions in the simvastatin-treated group (20, 40 mg/L) were significantly lower than that in the control group, respectively (both P<0.05). The specific value of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 protein relative expressions in IL-6 group were significantly higher than those in control group (both P<0.05), the specific value of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 protein relative expressions in simvastatin (20, 40 mg/L) combined with IL-6 groups were lower than those in IL-6 group (all P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion: Simvastatin can induce the apoptosis of A549 cells through a non-caspase-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, which may be achieved by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Abstract
Chilling is one of the main abiotic stresses that adversely affect the productivity of sugarcane, in marginal tropical regions where chilling incidence occurs with seasonal changes. However, nanoparticles (NPs) have been tested as a mitigation strategy against diverse abiotic stresses. In this study, NPs such as silicon dioxide (nSiO2; 5-15 nm), zinc oxide (nZnO; <100 nm), selenium (nSe; 100 mesh), graphene (graphene nanoribbons [GNRs] alkyl functionalized; 2-15 μm × 40-250 nm) were applied as foliar sprays on sugarcane leaves to understand the amelioration effect of NPs against negative impact of chilling stress on photosynthesis and photoprotection. To this end, seedlings of moderately chilling tolerant sugarcane variety Guitang 49 was used for current study and spilt plot was used as statistical design. The changes in the level chilling tolerance after the application of NPs on Guitang 49 were compared with tolerance level of chilling tolerant variety Guitang 28. NPs treatments reduced the adverse effects of chilling by maintaining the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm), maximum photo-oxidizable PSI (Pm), and photosynthetic gas exchange. Furthermore, application of NPs increased the content of light harvesting pigments (chlorophylls and cartinoids) in NPs treated seedlings. Higher carotenoid accumulation in leaves of NPs treated seedlings enhanced the nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) of PSII. Among the NPs, nSiO2 showed higher amelioration effects and it can be used alone or in combination with other NPs to mitigate chilling stress in sugarcane.

The 90% confidence level upper limits on κ of solar dark photon from 205.4 kg-day exposure are derived, probing new parameter space with masses (m_{V}) from 10 to 300 eV/c^{2} in direct detection experiments. Considering dark photon as the cosmological dark matter, limits at 90% confidence level with m_{V} from 0.1 to 4.0 keV/c^{2} are set from 449.6 kg-day data, with a minimum of κ=1.3×10^{-15} at m_{V}=200 eV/c^{2}.

Abstract
目的 分析CD7在初治急性髓系白血病(AML)患者中的表达和预后价值,进一步探讨CD7表达情况与CEBPA突变的相关性,明确其在CEBPA野生型和突变型AML患者中与预后的关系。 方法 回顾性分析2010年1月至2016年12月收治的298例初治AML患者(除外M3亚型)的临床资料,在全部患者以及CEBPA野生型和突变型组中,分别比较CD7阳性(CD7+)和CD7阴性(CD7−)患者的临床特征及预后差异,并联合CD7表达情况和CEBPA突变状态初步建立新的危险分层模型。 结果 在CD7+组中,CEBPA单位点和双位点突变的发生率分别为10.1%和33.9%,显著高于CD7−组(5.3%和4.2%),差异具有统计学意义(P=0.000)。在CEBPA野生型患者中,CD7+组患者相较CD7−组患者完全缓解率低(P=0.001)、复发率高(P=0.023),而两组总生存(OS)期和无病生存(DFS)期差异无统计学意义(P值均>0.05);在CEBPA突变患者中,CD7+组显示有更长的OS期(P=0.019)和DFS期(P=0.010)。根据CD7表达和CEBPA突变与否将AML患者分为三个亚组:CD7+伴CEBPA突变组、CD7−组和CD7+伴CEBPA野生型组。三组患者的3年OS率分别为80.2%、48.0%和30.6%(P<0.001),3年的DFS率分别为74.1%、37.4%和22.2%(P<0.001)。 结论 CD7+组中CEBPA突变率显著高于CD7−组,CD7+在CEBPA野生型组和突变组AML中存在截然相反的预后意义。根据CD7表达情况和CEBPA突变与否建立新的危险分层模型,有助于指导临床个体化治疗。

Abstract
Objective: To study the relationship between the expression of Chromobox protein homolog (CBX) mRNA and the clinicopathological prognosis of breast cancer, and to investigate the possibility of Chromobox protein homolog 2 as a therapeutic target for breast cancer. Methods: First, we analyzed the mRNA expression of 8 CBX family genes by METABRIC database, and investigated the relationship between the expression of CBX2 mRNA and the clinicopathological parameters of breast cancer. Then we explored its relationship with prognosis. CBX2 siRNA was used to treat breast cancer cell lines with high expression of CBX2(SUM159 and SUM1315). The effects of knockdown of CBX20 on mRNA and protein expression and cell proliferation were observed. Results: According to the analysis of METABRIC database, among the 8 CBX genes, the most obvious increase in mRNA expression was CBX2, and 22.47% (445/1 980) of the patients showed high mRNA expression. The high expression of CBX2 was closely related to tumor histological grade and the molecular type of breast cancer (P<0.001). Compared with the low-expression group of CBX2 mRNA, the proportion of HER2 breast cancer (28.1% vs 7.5%) and Basal-like (44.5% vs 8.5%) in the high-expression group were both higher. Patients with high CBX2 expression had significantly shorter disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The knockdown of CBX2 by siRNA inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells. Conclusion: CBX2 is closely related to the prognosis of breast cancer and may be a target for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the measures of damage control theory (DCT) in the treatment of multiple trauma mainly represented by emergency abdominal trauma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 76 patients with severe multiple trauma in the Yiwu Central Hospital were selected. Among them, 37 patients with severe multiple trauma were treated with DCT (DCT group), and 39 patients were treated with traditional methods (control group). The prothrombin time (PT), the inflammation index, the duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and the incidence of sepsis were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 60 cases (78.95%) were cured and discharged, and 4 cases (10.81%) died in the DCT group, while 12 cases (30.77%) died in the control group. There were 6 cases (16.22%) of sepsis in the DCT group and 15 cases (38.46%) of sepsis in the control group. This indicates that the mortality and the incidence of sepsis in the DCT group were lower than those in the control group (p<0.05 in all comparisons). The PT activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), the length of stay in the ICU, and mechanical ventilation in the DCT group were notably shorter than those in the control group. The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and IL-10 went up remarkably in both groups (p<0.05), but the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP in the DCT group were lower than those in the control group, while the IL-10 level in the former was significantly higher than that in the latter (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to apply DCT to rescue patients with multiple trauma, which can effectively reduce the mortality and complications, and shorten the length of stay in the ICU.

Abstract
We present results on light weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) searches with annual modulation (AM) analysis on data from a 1-kg mass p-type point-contact germanium detector of the CDEX-1B experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. Datasets with a total live time of 3.2 yr within a 4.2-yr span are analyzed with analysis threshold of 250 eVee. Limits on WIMP-nucleus (χ-N) spin-independent cross sections as function of WIMP mass (m_{χ}) at 90% confidence level (C.L.) are derived using the dark matter halo model. Within the context of the standard halo model, the 90% C.L. allowed regions implied by the DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT AM-based analysis are excluded at >99.99% and 98% C.L., respectively. These results correspond to the best sensitivity at m_{χ}<6 GeV/c^{2} among WIMP AM measurements to date.

Abstract
We report results on the searches of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with sub-GeV masses (m_{χ}) via WIMP-nucleus spin-independent scattering with Migdal effect incorporated. Analysis on time-integrated (TI) and annual modulation (AM) effects on CDEX-1B data are performed, with 737.1 kg day exposure and 160 eVee threshold for TI analysis, and 1107.5 kg day exposure and 250 eVee threshold for AM analysis. The sensitive windows in m_{χ} are expanded by an order of magnitude to lower DM masses with Migdal effect incorporated. New limits on σ_{χN}^{SI} at 90% confidence level are derived as 2×10^{-32}∼7×10^{-35} cm^{2} for TI analysis at m_{χ}∼50-180 MeV/c^{2}, and 3×10^{-32}∼9×10^{-38} cm^{2} for AM analysis at m_{χ}∼75 MeV/c^{2}-3.0 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extra-cellular signal regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is widely involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. MAPK kinase 1 (MEK1) is the upstream protein kinase of ERK that can activate ERK/MAPK signaling pathway. microRNA-101 (MiR-101) down-regulation is found to be associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) pathogenesis. Bioinformatics analysis shows the complementary targeted relationship between miR-101 and the 3'-UTR of MEK1 mRNA. This study explores the role of miR-101 in regulating MEK1 expression, ERK/MAPK signaling pathway activation, and NPC pathogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dual luciferase assay confirmed the targeted relationship between miR-101 and MEK1. MiR-101 and MEK1 expressions were compared in inflammatory nasopharynx tissue and NPC tissue. MiR-101, MEK1, phosphorylated ERK 1/2 (p-ERK1/2), survivin expressions in NP69, CNE-1, HONE1, and C666-2 cell lines were detected. NPC cell line C666-1 was cultured in vitro and divided into four groups, including miR-NC, miR-101, si-NC and si-MEK1. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Cell proliferation was evaluated by EdU staining. RESULTS MiR-101 targeted inhibited MEK1 expression. MiR-101 was significantly down-regulated, while MEK1 was significantly elevated in NPC tissue compared with inflammatory nasopharynx tissue. MiR-101 was markedly declined, whereas MEK1, p-ERK1/2, and survivin were apparently increased in CNE-1, HONE1, and C666-1 cells compared with NP69 cells. MiR-101 mimic and/or si-MEK1 transfection significantly reduced MEK1, p-ERK1/2, and survivin levels, attenuated cell proliferation, and enhanced cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS Down-regulation of miR-101 was related to NPC pathogenesis. MiR-101 elevation suppressed NPC cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis through targeted inhibiting MEK1 expression to alleviate ERK/MAPK signaling pathway and survivin expression.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the expression of androgen receptor (AR) in the tissues as well as its association with the clinicopathological factors of primary breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), and analyze the effect of AR in the prediction of pathologic complete response (PCR) rate. Method: A total of 668 breast cancer patients treated with NAC in Henan Cancer Hospital between March 2014 and June 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The relationship of AR expression and clinicopathological characteristics was calculated using chi square test. Multivariate analysis using binary Logistic regression was used to analyze correlations of different factors with PCR. Result: All patients were female, with the age of 20-76 years old. AR was detected in 74.6% of tumors, and significantly correlated with hormone receptor (HR), human epidermalgrowth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), Ki-67, CK5/6, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and molecular subtypes (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that AR, HR and HER-2 were independent predictors for PCR (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The expressions of AR were more frequently in HR positive breast cancer tissues (86.7%), and lowest in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) group (23.2%). AR was independent predictor for PCR.

Abstract
Objective: To screen for hotspot gene mutations associated with genetic deafness in Chinese pregnant women, and to perform risk assessment and prenatal diagnosis in high-risk families. Methods: Between November 2012 and October 2017, 26 117 pregnant women were screened by molecular hybridization microarray for 9 hot-spot mutations in 4 hereditary deafness related genes (GJB2 c. 35 del G, c. 176_191 del 16 bp, c. 235 del G, c. 299_300 del AT, GJB3 c. 538 C>T, SLC26A4 c. 2168 A>G, IVS 7-2 A>G, mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA m. 1494 C>T, m. 1555 A>G). Genotype analysis was carried out in husbands of women carrying mutations, and prenatal diagnosis was carried out in the fetuses with high risk of deafness. Results: Among all women tested, 1 208(4.63%) were carriers of genetic deafness mutations, 7 with hearing impairment were affected by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations, 51 were mitochondrial gene mutation carriers, 103 were carriers of GJB3 c. 538 C>T heterozygous mutation, 1 026 were carriers of GJB2 or SLC26A4 heterozygous mutations, and 21 carried heterozygous mutations in two genes simultaneously. In 394 families, the husbands accepted gene sequence testing, and 27 in which were determined as carriers of mutations in identical genes as their wives. Among which, 18 families received prenatal diagnosis, and 5 fetuses were diagnosed as hereditary deafness. In 9 families who did not receive prenatal diagnosis, 1 neonate was diagnosed as compound heterozygote after delivery. Conclusion: In order to prevent birth defects with congenital hearing problems, it is effective to provide screening for hotspot mutations in pregnant women and to perform prenatal diagnosis on high risk pregnancies.

Abstract
To calculate resting energy expenditure (REE) in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and compare different predictive equations with indirect calorimetry(IC).A total of 60 patients in intensive care unit(ICU) were enrolled. Measure calculating daily REE in the first week included IC, Harris-Benedict formula, Penn State formula and Swinamer formula. Daily REE did not exhibit significant difference in the first week of mechanical ventilation by IC (all P>0.05).All patients' REE values by IC were higher than those by Harris-Benedict formula (all P<0.01). By Penn State formula, REE in day l, 2, and 5 were comparable (all P>0.05) with those by IC, whereas the consistency between the two methods was poor. Similarly, daily REE by Swinamer formula calculation in the first week did not show significant difference (all P>0.05), with acceptable consistency as IC. Resting energy expenditure in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation dose not significantly change during the first week. Swinamer formula is more accurate than other equations when IC is considered as the standard method.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether suction drainage is safe and effective compared with no-drainage in total hip arthroplasty. Methods: The research was based on PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Highwire, the Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WFSD.The data were analysed using RevMan 5.2.Twenty-seven randomised controlled trials involving 3 603 hips were included in the analysis. Results: The meta-analysis indicate that suction drainage increases the rate of homologous blood transfusion (OR=1.98, 95%CI: 1.49-2.64, P<0.000 01)and the length of stay (OR=0.66, 95%CI: -0.01-1.33, P=0.05) (P<0.05). No significant difference was observed in the incidence of infection(OR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.52-1.22, P=0.30), wound haematomas(OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.21-1.10, P=0.08), oozing (OR=0.93, 95%CI: 0.63-1.36, P=0.71) , deep venous thrombosis(OR=2.12, 95%CI: 0.68-6.56, P=0.19), VAS(OR=-0.06, 95%CI: -0.37-0.24, P=0.68) when the drainage group was compared with the no-drainage group. Conclusions: The comparison between suction drainage and no drainage in THA have indicated that no-drainage for easy total hip arthroplasty may be a better choice. However, orthopedic surgeon need to weigh the pros and cons of no-drainage in some complicated THAs.

Abstract
Two women presenting with fragility fractures during lactation had bone mineral density (BMD) reduced more greatly than usually associated with lactation. The first woman was 29 years old with a BMD T-score of - 3.2 SD at the spine and- 2.0 SD at the femoral neck. The second woman was 35 years old with a BMD T-score of - 4.5 SD at the spine and - 2.8 SD at the femoral neck. Both women had increased cortical porosity and reduced trabecular density. Investigation identified an elevated serum tryptase, and marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of mastocytosis. Lactation causes bone loss, but the occurrence of fractures in the setting of severe deficits in BMD and microstructural deterioration signals the need to consider additional causes of bone loss.

Abstract
We report the first results of a light weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) search from the CDEX-10 experiment with a 10 kg germanium detector array immersed in liquid nitrogen at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory with a physics data size of 102.8 kg day. At an analysis threshold of 160 eVee, improved limits of 8×10^{-42} and 3×10^{-36} cm^{2} at a 90% confidence level on spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections, respectively, at a WIMP mass (m_{χ}) of 5 GeV/c^{2} are achieved. The lower reach of m_{χ} is extended to 2 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of lumpectomy on axillary lymph node status of breast cancer patients. Methods: The clinical data of 738 invasive breast cancer patients with non-palpable axillary lymph node and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy from November 2011 to August 2013 in Henan Provincial Cancer Hospital were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 136 patients underwent preoperative lumpectomy (lumpectomy group) and 602 patients underwent puncture biopsy only (biopsy group). The difference of axillary lymph node status and positive ratio of SLN detected by color Doppler ultrasound were compared between these two groups. Results: Among the 738 breast cancer patients, the axillary lymph nodes of 444 (60.2%) cases could be detected by ultrasound. Among them, 92 cases belonged to lumpectomy group, significantly less than 352 cases of biopsy group (P=0.048). Among the patients with ultrasound-visible lymph nodes, the proportion of the biggest diameter of axillary lymph node >1 cm of lumpectomy group or biopsy group was 58.7% (54/92) or 52.8% (186/352), respectively, without significant difference (P=0.316). The proportion of patients with the ratio of long diameter to short diameter <2 of lumpectomy group or biopsy group was 37.0% (34/92) or 38.6% (136/352), respectively, with marginal difference (P=0.768). The positive rate of SLN of lumpectomy group or biopsy group was 23.5% (32/136) or 26.9% (162/602), respectively, without significant difference (P=0.419). The incidence rate of the ultrasound visible axillary lymph nodes of patients whose postoperative time ≤ 7 days or > 7days was 71.1% (64/90) or 60.9% (8/46), respectively, without significant difference (P=0.227). However, the positive rate of SLN of these two groups was 28.9% (26/90) and 13.0% (6/46), respectively, with significant difference (P=0.039). The number of ultrasound visible axillary lymph nodes, the biggest diameter of axillary lymph nodes and the ratio of the long diameter to short diameter <2 were substantially correlated with the positive rate of SLN (P<0.05). Conclusions: The incidence rate of ultrasound visible axillary lymph node in the patients with lumpectomy is higher than that of patients with puncture biopsy only. The positive rate of SLN of the patients with a long postoperative time is lower than that of patients with a short postoperative time, even though the axillary lymph nodes are ultrasound visible.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism that regulates pre-implantation development of the yak (Bos grunniens). We determined the transcriptomes of in vitro-produced yak embryos at two-cell, four-cell, eight-cell stages, and morula and blastocyst using the Illumina RNA-seq for the first time. We obtained 47.36-50.86 million clean reads for each stage, of which, 85.65%-90.02% reads were covered in the reference genome. A total of 17,368 genes were expressed during the two-cell stage to blastocyst of the yak, of which 7,236 genes were co-expressed at all stages, whereas 10,132 genes were stage-specific expression. Transcripts from 9,827 to 14,893 different genes were detected in various developmental stages. When |log2 ratio| ≥ 1 and q-value <0.05 were set as thresholds for identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we detected a total of 6,922-10,555 DEGs between any two consecutive stages. The GO distributions of these DEGs were classified into three categories: biological processes (23 terms), cellular components (22 terms) and molecular functions (22 terms). Pathway analysis revealed 310 pathways of the DEGs that were operative in early pre-implantation yak development, of which 32 were the significantly enriched pathways. In conclusion, this is the first report to investigate the mechanism that regulates yak embryonic development using high-throughput sequencing, which provides a comprehensive framework of transcriptome landscapes of yak pre-implantation embryos.

Abstract
Objective: To analyse the corneal and conjunctival sensitivities of premature babies and to study the relevant influencing factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study. One hundred premature infants born at Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University between May 2015 and September 2015 were enrolled, among which 51 were male (51%) and 49 were female (49%), the mean gestational age was (30.93±1.75)w, the mean corrected gestational age was (33.65±1.53)w, the mean birth weight was (1 592±336)g. The thresholds of cornea and conjunctiva of infants' left or right eyes were measured with Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer at 8-10 o'clock every morning when they naturally woke up, the minimum length of nylon wire that induced three successive times of eye-blink responses was recorded. Paired sample t test was used to compare the corneal and conjunctival sensitivities, the ocular surface sensitivities of preterm infants of different gender were compared using independent samples t-test, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the correlation of corneal and conjuncitval sensitivities with gestational age, birth weight, age and corrected gestational age. Results: The mean corneal sensitivity was (44.85±5.53) mm and the mean conjunctival sensitivity was (23.50±5.48)mm in premature babies, corneal sensitivity was significantly higher than conjunctival sensitivity (t=25.620, P<0.001). No statistical significance was found between male and female preterm infants in corneal sensitivity [(44.80±5.83) mm vs. (44.90±5.25) mm, t=-0.085, P=0.933] and conjunctival sensitivity[(23.14±5.83) mm vs. (23.88±5.13) mm, t=-0.673, P=0.502]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that corneal sensitivity was significantly associated with conjunctival sensitivity in prematurity(r=0.676, P<0.001). There was significant correlation between corneal sensitivity and age, corrected gestational age (r=0.238, P=0.017; r=0.679, P<0.001), however no significant correlation was found between corneal sensitivity and gestational age, birth weight in preterm infants (r=0.067, P=0.510; r=-0.179, P=0.075). There was significant correlation between conjunctival sensitivity and corrected gestational age (r=0.490, P<0.001), however no significant correlation was found between conjunctival sensitivity and gestational age, birth weight and age in preterm infants (r=0.078, P=0.439; r=-0.096, P=0.344; r=0.151, P=0.133). Multiple linear regression revealed that corneal sensitivity(Y1) was positively correlated with corrected gestational age(X), the regression equation was Y1=2.45X-37.52, the conjunctical sensitivity(Y2) was also positively correlated with corrected gestational age(X), the regression equation was Y2=1.75X-35.41. Conclusions: The corneal sensitivity is higher than conjunctival sensitivity in premature babies.No statistical significance is found between male and female preterm infants in corneal sensitivity and conjunctival sensitivity. The corneal sensitivity and conjunctival sensitivity are correlated with corrected gestational age in preterm infants. The corneal and conjunctival sensitivities of premature babies tend to increase along with the increase of corrected gestational age. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2018, 54: 115-119).

Abstract
The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae), is a worldwide pest of livestock. Recent outbreaks of stable flies in sugarcane fields in Brazil have become a serious problem for livestock producers. Larvae and pupae found inside sugarcane stems after harvesting may indicate that stable flies use these stems as potential oviposition or larval development sites. Field observations suggest that outbreaks of stable flies are associated with the vinasse and filter cake derived from biomass distillation in sugarcane ethanol production that are used as fertilizers in sugarcane fields. Adult stable flies are attracted to vinasse, which appears to present an ideal larval development site. The primary goal of the present study is to demonstrate the role of vinasse in influencing the sensory physiological and behavioural responses of stable flies, and to identify its associated volatile attractant compounds. Both laboratory and field studies showed that vinasse is extremely attractive to adult stable flies. Chemical analyses of volatiles collected revealed a wide range of carboxylic acids, alcohols, phenols and aldehydes as potential attractant compounds. These newly identified attractants could be used to develop a tool for the attractant-baited mass trapping of stable flies in order to reduce infestations.

Abstract
Volatile chemicals from waste artificial larval media as well as from bovine blood inoculated with bacteria isolated from screwworm-infested wounds attract gravid females of Cochliomyia hominivorax Coquerel and Cochliomyia macellaria (F.). Chemicals identified from volatiles are dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, phenol, p-cresol, and indole; a blend of these attracted females to oviposit. Present studies investigated the effectiveness of these compounds, either in a blend or individually as potential oviposition attractants. Tests were conducted to determine the effects of gender, ovarian age, and the color and type of substrates on attraction response and oviposition of C. macellaria adults. Results showed that substrates treated with dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) alone or the five-compound blend alone attracted significantly more gravid females than other chemicals. Black substrates treated with DMTS attracted more gravid flies than did the yellow substrates. Yellow substrates treated with indole attracted more males and nongravid females. In oviposition tests, females deposited significantly more eggs on meat-based substrates than those without meat. These findings suggest that several factors have to be considered for developing an effective oviposition attractant that should include effectiveness of individual chemicals used, the ratio of the chemicals in a blend, and their concentrations. Also, an effective trap design will need to consider using suitable color which will selectively attract gravid females.

Abstract
Series of green laser diodes (LDs) with different (In)GaN barrier layers are investigated. It is found that the optical confinement factor of multi-quantum well (MQW) always increases with increasing indium content of InGaN barrier layer, which results in a decrease of threshold current when indium content of InGaN barrier layer increases from 0 to 5%. However, when a high In content InGaN barrier is used (> 5%), both threshold current and slop efficiency of LDs deteriorate. It may be attributed to the waste of carriers in the potential well at the interface between the last barrier (LB) and the upper waveguide (UWG) layers, which is induced by the piezoelectric polarization effect in high In content InGaN LB layer. Therefore, a new LD structure using a thin thickness of the LB layer to reduce the effect of polarization shows a low threshold current and a high output power even when the In content of barrier layers is as large as 7%.

Abstract
In nonruminants, it is well established that elongation of very long-chain fatty acid-like fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6) catalyzes the synthesis of C18:0 from C16:0 in lipogenic tissues like adipose and liver. However, the role of ELOVL6 in regulating lipid metabolism in ruminant mammary gland remains unknown. In the present study, ELOVL6 was overexpressed or knocked down via adenoviral transfection to assess its role in goat mammary epithelial cells. Results revealed that ELOVL6 overexpression had a weak effect on the expression of genes related to triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis and desaturation. Overexpression of ELOVL6 increased the content of C18:0 at the expense of C16:0, and increased the elongation index of C16:0. Overexpression of ELOVL6 had no significant effect on the elongation index of C16:1n-7 and the desaturation indices of C16:0 and C18:0. Knockdown of ELOVL6 had a negative effect on mRNA expression of the esterification genes GPAM and diacylglycerolacyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) and TAG concentration; however, it increased the concentration of C16:0 and decreased C18:1n-7 and C18:1n-9 in goat mammary epithelial cells. Accordingly, downregulation of ELOVL6 significantly decreased the elongation indices of C16:0 and C16:1n-7. The lack of change in the desaturation indices of C16:0 and C18:0 upon knockdown of ELOVL6 was consistent with the minor change in SCD1 expression. In conclusion, these are the first results highlighting an important role of ELOVL6 in long-chain fatty elongation and TAG synthesis in ruminant mammary cells.

Abstract
The optical power emitting from the cavity facet of blue InGaN-based laser diodes (LDs) is measured to investigate the efficiency droop. The efficiency droop behavior of blue InGaN-based LDs near the threshold is confirmed in our experiments. From measurements of optical power at different wavelengths, it is analyzed that the droop behavior of LDs can be ascribed to the efficiency reduction of longer wavelengths. The efficiency of longer wavelengths is subject to the carrier occupation process in quantum levels. In addition, it is found that the droop behavior may be largely affected by the relatively large threshold current of InGaN-based LDs and the screening effect of polarization, and it can be suppressed by stimulated emission.

Abstract
The nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family proteins are transcription factors that regulate the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other genes during the immune response. Although the NFAT proteins have been extensively investigated in the immune system, their role in cancer progression remains controversial. Here, we report that NFAT3 is highly expressed in various skin cancer cell lines and tumor tissues. Knockdown of endogenous NFAT3 expression by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) significantly inhibited tumor cell proliferation, colony formation and anchorage-independent cell growth. Furthermore, results of the mammalian two-hybrid assay showed that cyclin-dependent kinase 3 (CDK3) directly interacted with NFAT3 and phosphorylated NFAT3 at serine 259 (Ser259), which enhanced the transactivation and transcriptional activity of NFAT3. The phosphorylation site of NFAT3 was critical for epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated cell transformation of the HaCaT immortalized skin cell line and mutation of NFAT3 at Ser259 led to a reduction of colony formation in soft agar. We also found that overexpressing wildtype NFAT3, but not mutant NFAT3-S259A, promoted A431 xenograft tumor growth. Importantly, we showed that CDK3, NFAT3 and phosphorylated NFAT3-Ser259 were highly expressed in skin cancer compared with normal skin tissues. These results provided evidence supporting the oncogenic potential of NFAT3 and suggested that CDK3-mediated phosphorylation of NFAT3 has an important role in skin tumorigenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNA-185-5p (miR-185-5p) dysregulation is found in various human cancers. Our purpose is to investigate the association of miR-185-5p expression with the sensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to cisplatin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Real-time PCR or Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of mature miR-185-5p and ATP-binding cassette, subfamily C, member 1 (ABCC1) protein. Cell lines with abnormal expression of miR-185-5p were generated using miR-185-5p inhibitor and mimics. The viabilities of treated cells were analyzed using MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL assay. Apoptosis-related protein expressions were tested by Western blot. Dual-luciferase assay was applied to assess the target gene of miRNA. RESULTS The expression level of miR-185-5p in A549 cell line was significantly higher than that in A549/DDP cell line (p < 0.05). Transfection of miR-185-5p mimics increased the sensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin and the expression of an apoptosis-related factor, and restrained cell proliferation. MiR-185-5p inhibitor promoted cisplatin resistance and cell growth in A549 cells, and declined apoptosis-related factor levels. ABCC1 was verified as the target gene of miR-185-5p. MiR-185-5p exhibited negative correlation with ABCC1 in A549/DDP cells. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study demonstrated that inhibition of miR-185-5p was involved in chemo-resistance of NSCLC cells to cisplatin via down-regulating ABCC1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation of levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and blood lactic acid with the effectiveness of the non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with different severities. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used a case-control method to study patients who were admitted for AECOPD to the ICU at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2014. The patients had shown no response to conventional therapy or NIV treatment. The patients who had been treated with NIV before ICU admission were excluded. According to the pH value of arterial blood gas analysis after ICU admission, the AECOPD patients were divided into a mild group (pH ≥ 7.30) and a severe group (pH < 7.30). On the basis of whether a patient needed an artificial airway after NIV therapy, the two groups of patients were divided into two subgroups: an effective group and an ineffective group. A total of 153 patients were screened for the study. Of the 62 patients in the mild group, 38 cases were in the effective group, while 24 cases were in the ineffective group. Through the comparative analysis of clinical features of the patients in the two subgroups before NIV therapy, the single factor analysis between groups was applied to find the factor that influenced the effectiveness of NIV in the treatment of AECOPD with different severities. The logistic regression for multi-factor analysis was applied. RESULTS The results implied that the level of procalcitonin (PCT) in patients of the effective group was significantly lower than the level in the ineffective group (0.95 ± 0.54 vs. 1.34 ± 0.70, p = 0.016). Of 89 patients in the severe group, 33 cases were in the effective group, while 56 cases were in the ineffective group. The results indicated that levels of PCT (0.99 ± 0.57 vs. 1.46 ± 0.81, p = 0.004) and blood lactic acid (1.5 ± 0.5 vs. 1.9 ± 0.8, p = 0.008) in patients of the effective group were significantly lower than levels of the ineffective group. CONCLUSIONS The PCT and blood lactic acid, which reflect the infection severity, are factors influenced by the effectiveness of NIV in the treatment of AECOPD of different severities.

Abstract
In this study, we determined the whole mitochondrial genome profile of the three-spot swimming crab (Portunus sanguinolentus) and elucidated phylogenetic relationships between representative species in the order Decapoda. The mitochondrial genome was 16,024 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a putative control region. Of the 37 genes, 23 were encoded by the heavy strand while 14 were encoded by the light strand. Four types of start codons were identified; ATG initiated nine genes, ATT initiated two genes, and ATC and GTG each started one gene. Nine protein-coding genes ended with a complete TAA or TAG stop codon, and four genes ended with an incomplete T or TA codon. Fourteen non-coding regions were found, which ranged from 1 to 34 bp in length. Nine overlaps were observed, with lengths between 1 and 7 bp. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that P. sanguinolentus is genetically closest to P. trituberculatus and P. pelagicus. Charybdis feriata, C. japonica, and Thalamita crenata formed a single cluster, and were close to the genera Callinectes and Portunus. Therefore, the genera Charybdis and Thalamita should be classified into the subfamily Portuninae.

Abstract
A series of samples with varying growth pressure are grown and their optical and structural properties are investigated. It is found that the residual carbon concentration decreases when the reactor pressure increases from 80 to 450 Torr during the InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well growth. It results in an enhanced peak intensity of electroluminescence because carbon impurities can induce deep energy levels and act as non-radiative recombination centers in InGaN layers.

Abstract
Bovine blood inoculated and incubated with bacteria was tested to determine if secondary screwworm, Cochliomyia macellaria (F.), would be attracted to the incubated substrate for oviposition. Five species of bacteria, Klebsiella oxytoca (Flugge), Proteus mirabilis Hauser, Proteus vulgaris Hauser, Providencia rettgeri Hadley, Elkins and Caldwell, and Providencia stuartii Ewing, previously isolated from animal wounds infested by primary screwworms, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), were used. Incubated substrates were tested in a two-choice cage bioassay to study landing response and oviposition by gravid C. macellaria. Significantly more flies landed on substrates containing P. mirabilis than on substrates with other species of bacteria. Klebsiella oxytoca-treated substrates attracted the least flies. Substrates containing bacteria incubated for 72 h attracted significantly more flies than those incubated for 24-, 48-, or 96-h period. In 3-h duration oviposition tests, substrates with P. rettgeri attracted significantly more flies to oviposit than the other four species. The most eggs were recorded when substrates treated with all five species of bacteria were offered for oviposition. It is likely that multiple active chemicals present in the volatiles from substrates treated with all five species result in greater response than those in a single species. At least 72-h incubation seems to be necessary to obtain the most active volatile chemicals. Results suggest that C. macellaria uses similar chemical cues as C. hominivorax from bacteria volatiles as oviposition attractant/stimulant.

Abstract
Specificity protein 1 (encoded by SP1) is a novel transcription factor important for the regulation of lipid metabolism and the normal function of various hormones in model organisms. Its potential role, if any, on ruminant milk fat is unknown. Despite the lower expression of the lipolysis-related gene ATGL (by 44 and 37% respectively), both the adenoviral overexpression and the silencing of SP1 [via short interfering (si)RNA] markedly reduced cellular triacylglycerol (TAG) content (by 28 and 25%, respectively), at least in part by decreasing the expression of DGAT1 (-36% in adenovirus treatment) and DGAT2 (-81 and -87%, respectively) that are involved in TAG synthesis. Consistent with the markedly lower expression of genes related to lipid droplet formation and secretion (TIP47 by 19 and 32%, and ADFP by 25 and 25%, respectively), cellular lipid droplet content was also decreased sharply, by 9 and 8.5%, respectively, after adenoviral overexpression of SP1 or its silencing via siRNA. Overall, the results underscored a potentially important role of SP1 in maintaining milk-fat droplet synthesis in goat mammary epithelial cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the radiotherapy sensitization effects and the mechanism of capecitabine (Xeloda) against the non-small-cell lung cancer cell line, A549. γ-[(60)Co] radiation was used as the intervention method. Proliferative inhibition of capecitabine on A549 cells was determined by the CCK-8 method. The effects of capecitabine on the apoptosis rate and cell cycle distribution of A549 were detected with the flow cytometric method. We found that capecitabine inhibited the proliferation of A549 in a dose-dependent manner, notably increased the cell apoptosis rate and blocked the cellular G0/G1 phase after radiotherapy by γ-[(60)Co]. Therefore, capecitabine can significantly increase the radiosensitivity of A549; its mechanism may be related to cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis.

Abstract
The Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) has been one of the most economically important aquatic animals in China for thousands of years, and several breeding strains have been formed. Since the morphological characteristics of some strains are similar, a rapid and accurate molecular method to differentiate between strains is required. In this study, partial sequences of mitochondrial DNA from four turtle strains, Taihu Lake Strain, Taiwan Strain, Japanese Strain, and Yellow River Strain, were amplified and sequenced based on selected strain-specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites. The corresponding primers were designed and a high-resolution melting (HRM) technique was employed for genotyping these SNPs. The results indicated that a total of seven SNPs can be detected by HRM. Among these SNPs, one can be used for identifying the Taihu Lake Strain, one for the Japanese Strain, two for the Taiwan Strain, and three for the Yellow River Strain. This method is rapid and convenient, which offers technical support for strain identification and selective breeding in Chinese soft-shelled turtles.
