Abstract
In recent years, regional compound air pollution events caused by fine particles (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) have occurred frequently in economically developed areas of China, in which atmospheric oxidizing capacity (AOC) has played an important role. In this study, the WRF-CMAQ model was used to study the impacts of anthropogenic emission reduction on AOC during the COVID-19 lockdown period. Three representative cities in eastern China (Shijiazhuang, Nanjing, and Guangzhou) were selected for an in-depth analysis to quantify the contribution of meteorology and emissions to the changes in AOC and oxidants and to discuss the impact of AOC changes on the formation of secondary pollutants. The results showed that, compared with that in the same period in 2019, the urban average AOC in Shijiazhuang, Nanjing, and Guangzhou in 2020 increased by 60%, 48.7%, and 12.6%, respectively. The concentrations of O3, hydroxyl radical (·OH), and nitrogen trioxide (NO3·) increased by 1.6%-26.4%, 14.8%-73.3%, and 37.9%-180%, respectively. The AOC in the three cities increased by 0.06×10-4, 0.12×10-4, and 0.33×10-4 min-1, respectively, due to emission reduction. The meteorological change increased AOC in Shijiazhuang and Nanjing by 20% and 17.9%, respectively, but decreased AOC in Guangzhou by -9.3%. Enhanced AOC led to an increase in the nitrogen oxidation ratio (NOR) and VOCs oxidation ratio (VOR) and promoted the transformation of primary pollutants to secondary pollutants. This offset the effects of primary emission reduction and resulted in a nonlinear decline in secondary pollutants compared to emissions during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Abstract
In recent years, ozone (O3) has become an increasingly important air pollutant in China. Identifying the sensitivity of O3 to the precursors volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) can help make effective abatement strategies. This study compared three methods for determining O3-VOCs-NOx sensitivity: simulated photochemical indicator values and sensitivity coefficients derived from a three-dimensional air quality model and an observation-based model (OBM), with a case study involving an O3 pollution event that occurred in Nanjing in late July 2017. The results showed that O3 sensitivity based on the photochemical indicator and sensitivity coefficients demonstrated similar spatial variations (over 50% of the grid cells of Nanjing exhibiting identical O3 sensitivity). However, sensitivity coefficients identified a larger number of areas within a transitional O3 sensitivity regime, as opposed to the VOCs- or NOx-limited regime identified by the photochemical indicator. The determination of the latter was affected by the adopted threshold values. The OBM relied on the quality of the observational data. For example, positive biases in observed NO2 could lead to an underestimation of O3 sensitivity to NOx with the OBM. During the high pollution period, the three methods exhibited significant disparities. The photochemical indicator tended to suggest the VOCs-limited condition, whereas the OBM and sensitivity coefficients indicated the NOx-limited or transitional regimes.

Abstract
Based on the hourly concentration data of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) in Nanjing from 2015 to 2019, the synoptic situation that occurred in Nanjing, in which high PM2.5 and high O3 coexisted (hereinafter referred to as double high pollution (DHP)), was typed using T-mode principal component analysis. Additionally, the backward trajectory clustering analysis method, potential source contribution method (PSCF), and concentration weight trajectory analysis method (CWT) were used to study the transport paths and potential source region distribution of the DHP of Nanjing by different synoptic situations. The synoptic situations favorable to the DHP in Nanjing were the control of weak low-pressure type (Type1) and high-pressure center (Type2). Synoptic situations could have had an effect on the directional origin of the backward trajectory. In Type1, the Nanjing area was affected by two low pressures in the northeast and southwest, and the clustering trajectories of the Nanjing air mass mainly came from the eastern and western directions. The average concentrations of PM2.5 and O3 in the trajectory were 83.48 μg·m-3 and 106.85 μg·m-3, respectively. In Type 2, Nanjing and its surroundings were at the edge of the high-pressure center, and the air mass cluster trajectories mainly came from the north and east. The average concentrations of PM2.5 and O3 in the trajectory were 94.47 μg·m-3 and 92.32 μg·m-3, respectively. Most of the two types of backward trajectories belonged to short and medium-distance regional transportation, indicating that the pollution of neighboring provinces was one of the main factors affecting the DHP in Nanjing. PSCF and CWT analysis showed that the distribution of the most important potential sources of PM2.5 and O3 in Type1 and Type2 were not completely consistent, which indicates that the two pollutants did not come from the same area in the DHP.

Abstract
This study applied a de-weather method based on a machine learning technique to quantify the contribution of meteorology and emission changes to air quality from 2015 to 2021 in four cities in the Yangtze River Delta Region. The results showed that the significant reductions in PM2.5, NO2, and SO2 emissions(57.2%-68.2%, 80.7%-94.6%, and 81.6%-96.1%, respectively) offset the adverse effects of meteorological conditions, resulting in lower pollutant concentrations. The meteorological contribution of maximum daily 8-h average O3(MDA8_O3) showed a stronger effect than that of others(23.5%-42.1%), and meteorological factors promoted the increase in MDA8_O3 concentrations(4.7%); however, emission changes overall resulted in a decrease in MDA8_O3 concentrations(-3.2%). NO2 and MDA8_O3 decreased more rapidly from 2019 to 2021, mainly because the emissions played a stronger role in reducing pollutant concentrations than from 2015 to 2018. However, emissions changes had weaker reduction effects on PM2.5 and SO2 from 2019 to 2021 than from 2015 to 2018. De-weather methods could effectively seperate the effects of meteorology and emission changes on pollutant trends, which helps to evaluate the real effects of emission control policies on pollutant concentrations.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the secondary attack rates of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and the associated factors. Methods: A total of 328 primary cases and 40 146 close contacts of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant routinely detected in local areas of Jiangsu Province from February to April 2022 were selected in this study, and those with positive nucleic acid test results during 7 days of centralized isolation medical observation were defined as secondary cases. The demographic information and clinical characteristics were collected, and the secondary attack rate (SAR) and the associated factors were analyzed by using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 285 secondary cases of close contacts were reported from 328 primary cases, with a SAR of 3.2% (95%CI: 3.0%-3.4%). Among the 328 primary cases, males accounted for 61.9% (203 cases), with the median age (Q1, Q3) of 38.5 (27, 51) years old. Among the 1 285 secondary cases, males accounted for 59.1% (759 cases), with the median age (Q1, Q3) of 34 (17, 52) years old. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that the higher SAR was observed in the primary male cases (OR=1.632, 95%CI: 1.418-1.877), younger than 20 years old (OR=1.766, 95%CI: 1.506-2.072),≥60 years old (OR=1.869, 95%CI: 1.476-2.365), infected with the BA.2 strain branch (OR=2.906, 95%CI: 2.388-3.537), the confirmed common cases (OR=2.572, 95%CI: 2.036-3.249), and confirmed mild cases (OR=1.717, 95%CI: 1.486-1.985). Meanwhile, the higher SAR was observed in the close contacts younger than 20 years old (OR=2.604, 95%CI: 2.250-3.015),≥60 years old (OR=1.287, 95%CI: 1.052-1.573) and exposure for co-residence (OR=27.854, 95%CI: 23.470-33.057). Conclusion: The sex and age of the primary case of the Omicron variant, the branch of the infected strain, case severity of the primary case, as well as the age and contact mode of close contacts are the associated factors of SAR.

Abstract
High levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) in ambient air affect climate change and also endanger human health and ecosystems. Air pollution in Nanjing has been improving since the implementation of the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan" in 2013. However, Nanjing still faces PM2.5 and O3 pollution. Evaluating the response of pollutant concentrations to the reductions in precursor emissions is helpful to obtain effective strategies of emission reduction to improve pollution levels. The sensitive simulations of emission perturbation in atmospheric chemistry models directly demonstrate the response of pollution to the reductions in emissions. Nevertheless, these sensitive simulations are limited in computing time and resources. The random forest algorithm was trained by using the simulation results of the atmospheric chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) in 2015. The changes in daily PM2.5 and daily maximum eight-hour O3 (MDA8 O3) concentrations in Nanjing in 2019 were efficiently predicted under different reduction scenarios of anthropogenic emissions. The simulations showed that the seasonal average of ρ(PM2.5) in Nanjing would decrease by 2-4 μg·m-3 with the reduction in anthropogenic emissions of 10% in 2019 in China. In the case of controlling only local emissions in Nanjing, the concentrations of PM2.5 in Nanjing decreased significantly without local anthropogenic emissions. Additionally, the simulations showed that the annual average of ρ(PM2.5) in Nanjing could be lower than the national secondary limit (35 μg·m-3) when the anthropogenic emission reduction in China was higher than 20% in 2019. For ozone, the equal proportional emission reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic pollutants (VOCs) of O3 precursors in China likely led to the increase in seasonal average concentrations of O3 in Nanjing. For the proportional reduction of anthropogenic emissions by 10%-50% in China, the seasonal average of ρ(MDA8 O3) in Nanjing in 2019 would increase by 1-3 μg·m-3 in spring, 1-4 μg·m-3 in autumn, and 3-11 μg·m-3 in winter, respectively, compared with that in the base simulation. With the reduction in anthropogenic NOx emission by 10% and VOCs by 20%, the seasonal average of ρ(MDA8 O3) in Nanjing would decrease by 3-6 μg·m-3. On this basis, further increasing the proportion (30%) of VOCs emission reduction could reduce the annual average of ρ(MDA8 O3) in Nanjing by 7 μg·m-3. However, the annual average of ρ(MDA8 O3) of Nanjing in 2019 increased by 1 μg·m-3, with the local emission reduction of NOx by 10% and VOCs by 30%. Therefore, this showed that the key to alleviate ozone pollution in Nanjing is a reasonable control ratio of ozone precursor emissions and the implementation of regional joint prevention and control. In order to effectively reduce the O3 pollution in Nanjing, the emission reduction ratio of NOx and VOCs in China should be less than 1:2. The response of pollutant concentrations to reductions in precursor emissions were efficiently obtained by the random forest algorithm and GEOS-Chem model. The simulations would provide the scientific basis for the emission control strategy to alleviate air pollution.

Abstract
Based on the observation data of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the industrial area of Shenyang during the summer of 2019 and 2020, the composition characteristics and sources of VOCs were preliminarily studied. The ozone formation potential (OFP) and aerosol formation potential (AFP) of VOCs were also estimated using the max incremental reactivity (MIR) and aerosol formation coefficient (FAC) methods, respectively. The results showed that the average concentration of VOCs was 41.66 μg·m-3, and the proportions of alkanes, olefins, aromatics, and acetylene were 48.50%, 14.08%, 15.37%, and 22.05%, respectively. The top ten species of VOCs were primarily C2-C5 alkanes, also including acetylene, ethylene, and some aromatics, accounting for 69.25% of the total VOCs. VOCs showed obvious diurnal variation characteristics with a high concentration in the morning and evening (at 06:00 and 22:00) and a low concentration in the afternoon (11:00-16:00). According to the value of toluene/benzene (T/B) and isopentane/n-pentane, the atmosphere of the industrial area was mainly affected by vehicle exhaust emissions, solvent use, combustion sources, and LPG/NG. The total AFP of VOCs was up to 41.43×10-2 μg·m-3, and aromatics were the largest contributor. The total OFP of VOCs reached 117.59 μg·m-3, in which the alkenes contributed the most.

Abstract
In this study, 24-hour backward trajectories of the air mass in Nanjing were calculated by using the HYSPLIT model with the NCEP global reanalysis data from March 2019 to February 2020. The backward trajectories combined with the hourly concentration data of PM2.5 were then utilized in the trajectory clustering analysis and potential pollution source analysis. The results showed that the average concentration of PM2.5 in Nanjing was(36±20) μg·m-3 during the study period, with 17 days exceeding the grade Ⅱ national ambient air quality standards (75 μg·m-3). PM2.5 concentration exhibited clear seasonal variation, with winter (49 μg·m-3)>spring (42 μg·m-3)>autumn (31 μg·m-3)>summer (24 μg·m-3). PM2.5 concentration was significantly positively correlated with surface air pressure but significantly negatively correlated with air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, and wind speed. Based on the trajectories, seven transport routes were identified in spring, and six routes for the other seasons. The northwest and south-southeast routes in spring, southeast route in autumn, and southwest route in winter were the main pollution transport routes in each season, with the characteristics of short transport distance and slow air mass movement, indicating that local accumulation was one of the main reasons for the high value of PM2.5 in quiet and stable weather. The distance of the northwest route in winter was large, and the PM2.5 concentration was 58 μg·m-3, which was the 2nd highest concentration in all routes, indicating that the cities in the northeast of Anhui had a great transport influence on Nanjing PM2.5. The distribution of PSCF and CWT was relatively consistent, and the main potential source areas were mainly local and adjacent areas of Nanjing, indicating that PM2.5 control is needed to strengthen local control and carry out joint prevention and control with adjacent areas. Winter was most affected by transport, its main potential source area was located at the junction of northwest Nanjing and Chuzhou, and the main source origin was in Chuzhou; therefore joint prevention and control should be expanded to Anhui.

Abstract
The resolution of the hepatitis C issue has raised expectations for a chronic hepatitis B cure, driving the industry to expand investment in research and development efforts to strengthen functional cure strategies. These strategies have a wide variety of types, and the published research findings are heterogeneous. The theoretical analysis of these strategies is of great significance for determining prioritized research orientations as well as sensibly allocating research and development resources. However, due to a paucity of necessary conceptual models, current theoretical analysis has not been able to unify various therapeutic strategies into a proper theoretical framework. In view of the fact that the decrease in the quantity of cccDNA is an inevitable core event accompanied by the process of functional cure, this paper intends to analyze several chronic hepatitis B cure strategies using cccDNA dynamics as a framework. Furthermore, there are currently few studies on the dynamics of the cccDNA field, hoping that this article can promote recognition and research in this field.

Abstract
Meteorological conditions have important impacts on surface ozone (O3) formation. To evaluate the influence of future climate change on O3 concentrations in different regions of China, this study employed the climate data from the community earth system model provided by the CMIP5 under the RCP4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5 scenarios to generate the initial and boundary conditions for the WRF model. Then, the dynamic downscaling WRF results were fed into a CMAQ model as meteorological fields with fixed emission data. Two 10-year periods (2006-2015 and 2046-2055) were selected in this study to discuss the impacts of climate change on O3. The results showed that climate change increased boundary layer height, mean temperature, and heatwave days in China during summer. Relative humidity decreased and wind speed near the surface showed no obvious change in the future. O3 concentration showed an increasing trend in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Sichuan Basin, and South China. The extreme value of O3 maximum daily 8-hour moving average (MDA8) showed an increasing trend, following the order of RCP8.5 (0.7 μg·m-3)>RCP6.0 (0.3 μg·m-3)>RCP4.5 (0.2 μg·m-3). The number of days exceeding the standard for summer O3 had a similar spatial distribution with the heatwave days in China. The increase in heatwave days led to the increase in O3 extreme pollution events, and the possibility of a long-lasting O3 pollution event will increase in China in the future.

Abstract
The semi-/intermediate volatile organic compound (S/IVOCs) emissions inventory of Jiangsu province was established in 2019 using the activity data of various S/IVOCs emission sources, emission factors, and an estimation method. S/IVOCs emissions for each source and city in Jiangsu province were analyzed. The total amount of S/IVOCs emissions in Jiangsu province in 2019 was 637.31 Gg. Industrial sources were the major source of total S/IVOCs emissions accounting for 63.42% (404.20 Gg), followed by residential on-road mobile sources (22.23%), and off-road mobile sources accounted for the least (0.06%). Suzhou had the highest S/IVOCs emissions in 2019, accounting for 25.40% (161.86 Gg) of the total S/IVOCs emissions in Jiangsu province. The S/IVOCs emission intensity per unit area in Suzhou was the highest, reaching 18.70 t·km-2, and the emission intensity per unit GDP was the highest in Lianyungang (22.45 t·100 million yuan-1). The spatial distribution map revealed that S/IVOCs emissions in southern Jiangsu were relatively higher. The difference in the total emission of S/IVOCs, emission intensity per unit area, and emission intensity per unit of GDP were quite different among cities. The uncertainty range of S/IVOCs emissions was -88.46%-224.38% in Jiangsu province in 2019. The uncertainty range of biomass burning sources was the largest (-96.40%-277.17%).

Abstract
Three rare spirocyclohexadienone-type neolignans, magnoflorins A-C (1-3), and three known analogs (4-6), were isolated from the leaves of Magnolia liliiflora. Magnoflorin D (4) was obtained from natural resources for the first time. The chemical structures and absolute configurations of 1-4 were elucidated through detailed analysis of HR-ESI-MS, IR, 1 H, 13 C, and 2D NMR, and ECD experiments. The absolute configuration of 5 were characterized by X-ray crystallography in present study. Moreover, compounds 4 and 5 displayed moderate neuroprotective activity against corticosterone-induced PC12 cells injury at 20 μM with cell viability of 71.5±0.99 % and 73.0±1.42 %, respectively, compared to the model group with 60.83±0.93 %. Compound 6 could enhance neurite outgrowth of nerve growth factor (NGF)-induced PC12 cells at 10 μM with the differentiation rate of 11.98 %, compared with 20.49 % of 50 ng/ml NGF.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the clinical value of preserving subvalvular structure in mitral and aortic valve replacement surgery and its effect on left ventricular contractility. Methods: A total of 97 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement surgery in the Adult Cardiac Surgery of Heart Center of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Central China Fuwai Hospital from June 2016 to December 2018 were selected as the research subjects, of whom 45 cases were preserved subvalvular structure and 52 cases were in the total resection group (intraoperative total resection of the mitral valve and subvalvular chordae tendineae). General cardiac function indexes and left ventricular function quantitative indexes were compared before and in 3 months and 6 months after the operation of the two groups; The changes of the overall longitudinal strain of the long axis of the apex and the overall circumferential strain of the short axis of the left ventricle determined by the two-dimensional speckle tracking technology were compared before and after the operation. Results: The ages of the patients in the preservation group and the total resection group were (41.8±11.3) and (43.3±10.6) years old, respectively, and the male proportions were 58.0% (26 cases) and 44.0% (23 cases), respectively, with no significant difference (all P>0.05). The aortic occlusion time and cardiopulmonary bypass time of the patients in the preservation group were (57.8±4.5) and (78.6±6.7) min, respectively, which were longer than those in the total resection group [(48.1±4.4) and (48.1±4.4) min, respectively] (all P<0.05). The left atrial pressure of the patients in the preservation group at shutdown was (8.4±1.8) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), which was lower than that of the total resection group (11.3±2.5) mmHg (P<0.001). There were interaction effects between groups and time in regards to the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ( LVEDD ), left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF ) and Tei index, as well as the strain rate of mitral annulus and left ventricular wall of interventricular septum of the preservation group and the total resection group (all P<0.05). LVEDD and LVEF of patients in the preservation group at 3rd month after operation were (44.7±4.0) mm and (45.5±4.2) mm, and at 6th months were (56.5±4.9)% and (58.8±5.0)%, respectively, all larger than (42.7±3.6) mm and (42.7±3.6) mm, (54.5±4.6)% and (56.3±4.8)% of the total resection group. The measured value of LVESD in the preservation group at 3rd month after surgery was (32.6±3.2) mm, which was greater than that in the total resection group (31.2±3.4) mm (P<0.05). The Tei index of patients in the preservation group at 3rd and 6th months after surgery were 1.0±0.2 and 0.8±0.2, respectively, which were lower than those in the total resection group 1.2±0.3 and 0.9±0.2 (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Preserving the subvalvular structure during mitral valve replacement surgery can better improve the patient's left ventricular function and left ventricular systolic capacity.

Abstract
The seasonal variation characteristics of water-soluble organic nitrogen (WSON) in PM2.5 were analyzed in the Nanjing Jiangbei new area. The relationship between WSON and water-soluble inorganic nitrogen (WSIN) was also discussed. The results showed that the variation range of WSON in PM2.5 was 0.446 to 4.200 μg·m-3, with an average value of 2.04 μg·m-3. This value was slightly higher than the observed results in Beijing, Shanghai, and Changzhou. The average value of WSON was the highest in autumn[(2.967±0.643) μg·m-3], which was approximately 1.7 times that of the other three seasons. The average contribution ratio of WSON to water-soluble total nitrogen (WSTN) in fine particles of Nanjing accounted for 25%, with high ratios in summer-autumn and low ratios in winter-spring. For example, the proportion of WSON/WSTN in winter was only approximately 50% of that in summer and autumn. WSON had the highest correlation with NO2--N and the lowest correlation with NO3--N in WSIN, which may be related to the volatilization of NO3--N caused by high temperatures in summer. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that WSON of PM2.5 in Nanjing was mainly derived from secondary transformation, sea salt, dust, and biomass combustion.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the immunogenicity and safety of a booster vaccination with an inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. Methods: The phase Ⅱ trial of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was conducted by Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) since October 2020. The subjects were healthy adults aged 18-59 years, excluding pregnant, and not breastfeeding women. The primary vaccination schedule groups were 0-14 d 5 μg, 0-14 d 10 μg, 0-28 d 5 μg and 0-28 d 10 μg, respectively. And 50 participants in each group, a total of 200, who have received 2-doses primary vaccination were selected in ascending order of the study number and vaccinated with a booster dose (same dosage as primary vaccination) at the 6th months after post the primary vaccination (30-day window period). Blood samples were collected before and after boosting and tested for the geometric mean titers (GMT) and seroconversion of live virus neutralizing antibody, pseudovirus neutralizing antibody and receptor-binding-domain (RBD) IgG antibody. Adverse events (AE) were collected and assessed within 28 days after boosting. Results: The ages of subjects in group 0-14 d 5 μg, 0-14 d 10 μg, 0-28 d 5 μg and 0-28 d 10 μg were (43.98±9.58), (43.46±9.34), (42.56±9.08) and (43.94±11.05) years old, respectively (P=0.877). Sex ratios were balanced among the 4 groups (P=0.331). The live virus neutralizing antibody GMT (95%CI) in group 0-14 d 5 μg, 0-14 d 10 μg, 0-28 d 5 μg and 0-28 d 10 μg increased from 4.07 (3.30-5.04), 3.75 (3.08-4.55), 8.33 (7.01-11.11) and 7.69 (6.19-9.57) before the booster vaccination to 284.84 (215.28-376.86), 233.05 (178.61-304.08), 274.81 (223.64-337.68) and 280.77 (234.59-336.04) in 28 days after the booster vaccination, respectively. The rates of live virus neutralizing antibody seroconversion were all 100% in the 4 groups. The AE incidences following booster vaccination were 18.0% (9 cases), 4.0% (2 cases), 12% (6 cases), and 12% (6 cases) in the 4 groups(P=0.182). No AE was graded as level 3 or worse. No serious AE was reported. Conclusion: One booster vaccination of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine administered 6 months after primary vaccination showed good immunogenicity and safety.

Abstract
Cryopreservation of rare testicular-retrieved spermatozoa for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients with severe oligozoospermia and azoospermia remains a major challenge in clinical practice. This study evaluated the Cryopiece system as a potential technique to cryopreserve rare human spermatozoa for ICSI. Small numbers of ejaculated (24 patients) and testicular (13 patients) spermatozoa were cryopreserved using the Cryopiece system. The total number of recovered spermatozoa and motility were assessed after thawing. Thirty-seven couples underwent ICSI using spermatozoa cryopreserved by the Cryopiece system, and ICSI outcomes (rates of fertilization, embryo cleavage, and clinical pregnancy) were evaluated. The average sperm post-thaw retrieval rate was 79.1%, and motility was 29.7%. Ejaculated spermatozoa had a higher post-thaw motility (32.5%) than testicular spermatozoa (21.8%; P = 0.005). ICSI achieved a fertilization rate of 61.9%, embryo cleavage rate of 84.6%, and clinical pregnancy rate of 43.3%. The ICSI outcomes in the ejaculated and testicular frozen-thawed spermatozoa were similar. Assisted oocyte activation (AOA) after ICSI with motile (72.1%) or immotile (71.9%) spermatozoa resulted in a significantly higher fertilization rate than that when using motile spermatozoa without AOA (52.0%; P = 0.005). However, AOA did not enhance the clinical pregnancy rate (55.6% or 40.0% vs 35.3%; P = 0.703). The Cryopiece system is simple and useful for the cryopreservation of small numbers of ejaculated or testicular spermatozoa for ICSI in patients with severe oligozoospermia or nonobstructive azoospermia.

Abstract
Accurate identification of species from timber is an essential step to help control illegal logging and forest loss. However, current approaches to timber identification based on morphological and anatomical characteristics have limited species resolution. DNA barcoding is a proven tool for plant species identification, but there is a need to build reliable reference data across broad taxonomic and spatial scales. Here, we construct a species barcoding library consisting of 1550 taxonomically diverse timber species from 656 genera and 124 families, representing a comprehensive genetic reference data set for Chinese timber species and international commercial traded timber species, using four barcodes (rbcL, matK, trnH-psbA, and ITS2). The ITS2 fragment was found to be the most efficient locus for Chinese timber species identification among the four barcodes tested, both at the species and genus level, despite its low recovery rate. Nevertheless, the barcode combination matK+trnH-psbA+ITS2 was required as a complementary barcode to distinguish closely related species in complex data sets involving internationally traded timber species. Comparative analyses of family-level discrimination and species/genus ratios indicated that the inclusion of closely related species is an important factor affecting the resolution ability of barcodes for timber species verification. Our study indicates that although nuclear ITS2 is the most efficient single barcode for timber species authentication in China, complementary combinations like matK+trnH-psbA+ITS2 are required to provide broader discrimination power. These newly-generated sequences enrich the existing publicly available databases, especially for tropical and subtropical evergreen timber trees and this current timber species barcode reference library can serve as an important genetic resource for forestry monitoring, illegal logging prosecution and biodiversity projects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systematic reviews have focused on sperm recovery and post-thaw parameters after cryopreservation, but there no information on the associated clinical outcomes. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have reported cryopreservation of a single sperm due to the importance of fertility preservation. OBJECTIVES To assess whether the cryopreservation of single human spermatozoa improves clinical outcomes in patients with azoospermia or severe oligospermia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted an extensive literature search using the following databases, CENTRAL, CNKI, Cochrane Systematic Reviews, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PUBMED, and Web of Science for relevant studies published through December 31, 2019. We calculated the pooled proportions of cryopreservation of single human spermatozoon to assess the recovery, survival, fertilization, pregnancy, miscarriage, and delivery rates. Subgroup analyses were performed for the following covariates, a) different carriers, b) year of publication, and c) source of sperm. RESULTS We included 25 studies, which included 13 carriers. The pooled proportion of recovery rate of spermatozoa cryopreserved was 92% (95% CI, 87%-96%), and the survival, fertilization, pregnancy, miscarriage, and delivery rate were 76% (95% CI, 69%-83%), 63% (95% CI, 58%-67%), 57% (95% CI, 39%-74%), 12% (95% CI, 0%-33%), and 40% (95% CI, 12%-71%), respectively. Based on the subgroup analysis, the recovery and survival rates of frozen spermatozoa in subgroup of different carriers were statistically significant. In the past decaade, frozen single human spermatozoon technology has improved the recovery rates of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. However, the differences in clinical outcomes of frozen spermatozoa in subgroup of different sources of sperm were not statistically significant. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The techniques for single human spermatozoa are feasible and efficient and may benefit patients with severe oligospermia or azoospermia.

Abstract
Background Cryopreservation of extremely few spermatozoa is still a major challenge for male fertility preservation. This study aims to evaluate the cooling rate, recovery rate, and retrieval rate, along with other parameters of spermatozoa that cryopreserved using Cryopiece, a novel carrier, for individual sperm cryopreservation. Methods Semen samples from 60 fertile donors were collected, and each semen sample was screened for motile sperm and mixed with cryoprotective agent (CPA), and then frozen using Cryopiece, micro-straw, and mini-straws. The cooling rate, retrieval rate, and recovery rate, morphology, DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), were compared among the un-frozen sperm and the sperm cryopreserved using these carriers. Results Cryopiece possessed the fastest cooling rate. After freeze-thaw, the average retrieval rate of sperm cryopreserved using Cryopiece was 96.25%, and the average recovery rate was 64.40%, which were higher than that of sperm cryopreserved using the other two carriers (71.42% and 54.30% for micro-straw, and 63.54% and 58.04% for mini-straw, respectively). There was no significant impact on DFI after sperm cryopreservation, and no significant difference in morphology between sperm cryopreserved using these carriers was observed. Though MMP of sperm changed significantly after cryopreservation, micro-straw maintained sperm MMP better than Cryopiece and mini-straw did, while no significant difference was observed in MMP between sperm cryopreserved using Cryopiece and mini-straw. Conclusions Cryopiece produced satisfying retrieval and recovery rates in sperm cryopreservation and should be an ideal carrier for cryopreservation of small number of sperm.

Abstract
In this study, the 24-hour backward trajectories of air mass at ground level(10 m)in Nanjing were calculated by using the HYSPLIT model with the NCEP global reanalysis data from April 1st to October 31st, 2017. The backward trajectories were then combined with the hourly concentration data of O3 in Nanjing for trajectories clustering analysis and potential pollution sources analysis. The results show that in 2017, the maximum daily 8 h running average O3 level in Nanjing was around 12-261 μg·m-3 with 58 days of O3 pollution in Nanjing, mainly in the spring and summer. The monthly variation of O3 showed a single peak, with the highest O3 concentration, as well as the most days exceeding the standard, occurring in June; the diurnal variation of O3 was unimodal and reached its peak around 14:00. A total number of 5136 trajectories were obtained by simulation, among which the exceeded trajectories accounted for approximately 10%. The exceedance trajectories in May and June were significantly higher, accounting for 60% of the total exceedance trajectories. Six ground-level air mass transporting pathways were identified through clustering analysis, from the NNE, NW, SW, SSE, SE, and NE directions. The SE and SSE directions with higher O3 levels were the dominant transport routes of O3 pollution, contributing to 23.33% and 20.76% of backward trajectories, respectively. As for the potential pollution source analysis, the area with high WCWT value distribution matched the WPSCF result, indicating that the potential sources of O3 pollution were mainly distributed in Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Huzhou, and other cities around Taihu Lake. Additionally, cities located around Nanjing, such as Taizhou, Ma'anshan, Wuhu, Chuzhou, Nantong, and Lianyungang, were considered the secondary potential sources. The results indicate that O3 pollution in Nanjing is a regional issue and its control requires joint prevention and control strategies in the Yangtze River Delta.

Abstract
Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) at different intervals by mechanical force in treating erectile dysfunction (ED). Method: Forty patients with mild to moderate ED were randomized in a 1∶1 ratio to receive 16-treatment sessions of LIPUS in group A and group B, applied 3 times per week and 2 times per week, respectively. End-point assessments were made at 8th week after treatment. Efficacy were evaluated using International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function domain score (IIEF-EF), Erectile Hardness Score (EHS), Self-Esteem and Relationship Questionnaire (SEAR), Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP), Global Assessment Question (GAQ), and pain were assessed by Visual Analogue Score (VAS).Treatment response was confirmed by a minimal clinically importance difference (MCID) at 8th week. Results: Compared with baseline, IIEF-EF score [(17.1±5.48 vs 23.4±3.75, P<0.05) and (18.9±4.34 vs 24.1±4.32, P<0.05)], proportion of EHS 4 [(0 vs 40%, P<0.05) and (16.7% vs 55.6%, P<0.05)], and Overall Relationship score [(50.6 vs 67.5, P<0.05) and (44.4 vs 70.1, P<0.05)] were significantly improved at 8th week in two groups, respectively. Compared with baseline, the positive responses to SEP-3 increased significantly at 8th week in two groups (50.0% vs 80.0%,P<0.05) and (44.4% vs 88.9%, P<0.05), respectively. The positive responses to GAQ-2 were 90.0% and 88.9% at 8th week in two groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in IIEF-EF, EHS, SEAR, SEP and GAQ at 8th week between two groups. There was no significant difference in treatment response using MCID between two groups at end-point (80.5% vs 77.5%). The treatment duration for full sessions were 2.5 weeks less in group A than group B. No adverse effects were reported in all cases. Conclusion: LIPUS at two different intervals is effective and safe for mild to moderate ED, and the regimen at 3 times per week can achieve quite good effect in relatively short duration,while the long-term effects is still be clarified in further study.

Abstract
Structural alterations in fibroelastic components of the penile corpus cavernousum (CC) may impair its compliance, resulting in venous leakage and erectile dysfunction (ED). Our study evaluated the effectiveness of noninvasive two-dimensional shear-wave elastography (2-D SWE) in quantifying penile CC lesions in rabbits with hyperlipidemia-induced ED. A total of 12 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. Six were fed a high-cholesterol diet containing 2% cholesterol and 8.5% lard for 10 weeks and the other six were fed normal diet as controls. We measured the shear-wave elastic quantitative (SWQ) value of penile CC by 2-D SWE. Erectile function was investigated by intracavernous injection of papaverine, and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and the western blot analysis to determine the penile CC lesions. After 10 weeks, the SWQ values obtained from penile CC were remarkably higher in the high-cholesterol-fed compared with the control group, and the ΔICP (ICP plateau minus ICP baseline)/MAP (ICP: intracavernous pressure, MAP: mean arterial pressure) was markedly decreased. The IHC staining and western blot revealed extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation in penile cavernous tissues, and the smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic transition was affected, as indicated by reduced alpha-smooth muscle actin and calponin-1 expression and increased phospho-myosin light chain20 (p-MLC20)/MLC20 and osteopontin expression. Hyperlipidemia resulted in ECM accumulation accompanied with SMC phenotypic transition in penile CC and impaired the erectile function eventually. These might, in turn, lead to variations in the SWQ values. It suggests that 2-D SWE may be a novel, noninvasive and effective approach that distinguishes penile CC lesions secondary to hyperlipidemia from normal.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of omeprazole on plasma concentration, efficacy and adverse reactions of capecitabine in patients with colon cancer. Methods: Seventy-two patients with colon cancer treated with capecitabine were analysed retrospective. The patients treated with capecitabine combined with omeprazole were identified as experimental group and the capecitabine treatment alone as control group.The differences of blood concentration and the side effects of capecitabine between these two groups were compared. Results: The plasma concentration of 5-Fluorouracilum in experimental group was (126.25±50.59) μg/ml, without significant difference of (123.09±56.70) μg/ml in control group (P=0.121). The incidence of Ⅲ to Ⅳ degree bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and hand-foot syndrome in experimental group were 13.8%, 0%, 0% and 19.4%, respectively. In control group, the incidence of Ⅲ to Ⅳ degree bone marrow suppression, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and the hand-foot syndrome were 11.1%, 0%, 0% and 19.4%, respectively, without significant difference of experimental group (P>0.05). The incidence of acid reflux and heartburn in the control group was 72.2%, significantly higher than 44.4% of the experimental group (P<0.05). The objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival time (PFS) in these two groups were 30.6% and 33.3%, and 8.0 month and 8.5 month, respectively, without significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: The intravenous omeprazole attenuates reflux and heartburn of colon cancer patients treated with capecitabine, without affecting its plasma concentration and side effects and has no impact on the PFS of these patients.

Abstract
With the constraint that all six major pollutants in Nanjing must meet the air quality standards by 2030, on the basis of the 2015 emission inventory, the CMAQ air quality model was used to conduct PM2.5 sensitivity tests, and scenario analysis was used to predict the emission inventory and the air quality of four emission reduction scenarios were simulated. Finally, the total control index under the constraint of meeting the standards was obtained. The results show that primary particulate matter (PPM) reduction is the most effective at reducing the concentration of PM2.5 in the atmosphere, on the basis of emission reduction in surrounding areas, PPM emission reduction accounts for 88% of the total reduction of the annual average concentration of PM2.5, followed by NH3, NOx, SO2, and VOCs, which contribute to 10.3%, 5.5%, 3.2%, and 0.5%, respectively. Compared to 2015, the reduction ratios of the major pollutants are between 22% and 53%. Controlling the activity level is more effective for SO2, NH3 and CO emissions reduction, while there is still more opportunity for NOx and VOCs end treatment. When the emissions of SO2, NOx, PM10, PM2.5, BC, OC, CO, VOCs, and NH3 are controlled to 2.43×104, 8.47×104, 9.42×104, 3.74×104, 0.19×104, 0.30×104, 26.56×104, 13.08×104, and 1.50×104 t, respectively, it is expected that the levels of the six pollutants in Nanjing can meet the national ambient air quality level 2 standards.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key stroma cells that play dominant roles in tumor progression. However, the CAFs-derived molecular determinants that regulate colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis and chemoresistance have not been fully characterized. METHODS CAFs and NFs were obtained from fresh CRC and adjacent normal tissues. Exosomes were isolated from conditioned medium and serum of CRC patients using ultracentrifugation method and ExoQuick Exosome Precipitation Solution kit, and characterized by transmission electronic microscopy, nanosight and western blot. MicroRNA microarray was employed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in exosomes secreted by CAFs or NFs. The internalization of exosomes, transfer of miR-92a-3p was observed by immunofluorescence. Boyden chamber migration and invasion, cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, plate colony formation, sphere formation assays, tail vein injection and primary colon cancer liver metastasis assays were employed to explore the effect of NFs, CAFs and exosomes secreted by them on epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stemness, metastasis and chemotherapy resistance of CRC. Luciferase report assay, real-time qPCR, western blot, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry staining were employed to explore the regulation of CRC metastasis and chemotherapy resistance by miR-92a-3p, FBXW7 and MOAP1. RESULTS CAFs promote the stemness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metastasis and chemotherapy resistance of CRC cells. Importantly, CAFs exert their roles by directly transferring exosomes to CRC cells, leading to a significant increase of miR-92a-3p level in CRC cells. Mechanically, increased expression of miR-92a-3p activates Wnt/β-catenin pathway and inhibits mitochondrial apoptosis by directly inhibiting FBXW7 and MOAP1, contributing to cell stemness, EMT, metastasis and 5-FU/L-OHP resistance in CRC. Clinically, miR-92a-3p expression is significantly increased in CRC tissues and negatively correlated with the levels of FBXW7 and MOAP1 in CRC specimens, and high expression of exosomal miR-92a-3p in serum was highly linked with metastasis and chemotherapy resistance in CRC patients. CONCLUSIONS CAFs secreted exosomes promote metastasis and chemotherapy resistance of CRC. Inhibiting exosomal miR-92a-3p provides an alternative modality for the prediction and treatment of metastasis and chemotherapy resistance in CRC.

Abstract
Maternal immunization is an immune strategy that protects both mothers and early-life infants from disease by the vaccination of pregnant women. The effect of maternal immunization is influenced by the types of vaccines, the timing of vaccination, the subtypes of antibodies induced by vaccines, and the health status of mothers themselves. Inactivated influenza vaccination during pregnancy and DPT vaccination during the third trimester of pregnancy have been widely used in the world, while Hepatitis B vaccine, pneumococcal and meningococcal vaccines also show good efficacy and safety in pregnant women. This article reviews the research progress of Maternal Immunization in order to provide a reference for Maternal Immunization planning and policymaking in China.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of Huangjing Zanyu Capsule (HZC) on sperm mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in asthenozoospermia patients. METHODS We assigned 70 asthenozoospermia patients to a treatment group (n = 39) and a control group (n = 31), the former treated with oral HZC at the dose of 4 capsules tid for 3 months while the latter left untreated. We obtained semen parameters from the patients and detected their sperm mitochondrial membrane potentials (MMP) by JC-1 staining and flow cytometry before and after medication, followed by comparison between the two groups. RESULTS The total effectiveness rate was 71.05% in the treatment group and natural pregnancy was achieved in 3 cases during the medication. A total of 35 patients in the treatment group and 30 controls completed all the laboratory examinations after a 3-month observation. Compared with the controls, the patients treated with HZC exhibited significant improvement after medication in MMP (variation value: [1.19 ± 10.36]% vs [20.28 ± 14.21]%, P <0.01), total sperm motility (variation value: [3.46 ± 8.67]% vs [20.68 ± 14.12]%, P <0.01), the percentage of progressively motile sperm (variation value: [2.26 ± 8.29]% vs [17.58 ± 12.73]%, P <0.01), and the percentage of morphologically normal sperm (variation value: [0.23 ± 3.48]% vs [3.37 ± 3.99]%, P <0.01). MMP was significantly correlated with total sperm motility (r = 0.69, P <0.01), progressive sperm motility (r = 0.75, P <0.01) and normal sperm morphology (r = 0.26, P <0.01). CONCLUSIONS Huangjing Zanyu Capsule can enhance sperm mitochondrial membrane potential and sperm mitochondrial function, thus improving total sperm motility, progressive sperm motility and normal sperm morphology. It is safe and effective for the treatment of asthenospermia.

Abstract
Background Emergence agitation (EA) is a common phenomenon in preschool children during emergence from general anesthesia. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of dezocine for emergence agitation in preschool children anesthetized with sevoflurane-remifentanil. Methods A total of 100 preschool children, scheduled for elective laparoscopic repair of an inguinal hernia by high ligation of the hernia sac under sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia were randomized into two groups: Group C (n = 50) received Ringer’s lactate 10 mL and Group D received Ringer’s lactate 10 mL containing dezocine 0.1 mg/kg, postoperatively. Results Incidence of EA, defined as a score ≥ 3 on Aono’s four point scale or Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) score ≥ 10 in the PACU (10% vs. 76%) and the percentage of patients with severe EA (PAED score ≥ 13) (12% vs. 76%) were significantly lower in Group D compared to Group C (P < 0.05). Mean Children and Infants Postoperative Pain Scale (CHIPPS) score was significantly lower in Group D compared to Group C (1.2 ± 0.5 vs. 5.2 ± 0.6; P < 0.05). Patients need for fentanyl (18% vs. 4%) or propofol rescue (20% vs. 0) was significantly greater in Group C compared to Group D. No significant differences in other relative aspects after surgery between groups. Conclusion Administration of dezocine 0.1 mg/kg decreased the incidence and severity of EA in preschool children that had undergone laparoscopic repair of an inguinal hernia by high ligation of the hernia sac under sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diaphanous-related formins (DRFs), actin necleator, have been known to participate in the progression of cancer cells. We previously reported that FMNL2 (Formin-like2), a member of DRFs, was a positive regulator in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis, yet proteins and pathways required for the function of this pro-invasive DRFs remain to be identified. METHODS The relationship between FMNL2 and COMMD10 was examined using Co-IP, GST pull-down, immunofluorescence and in vitro ubiquitination assay. The in vitro and in vivo function of COMMD10 in CRC was evaluated using CCK-8 proliferation assay, plate colony formation, cell cycle, apoptosis and animal models. The inhibition of NF-κB signalling by COMMD10 was detected using dual-luciferase reporter assay and western blotting. Co-IP, GST pull-down and nuclear protein extraction assay were performed to evaluate the effect on p65 by COMMD10. Real-time PCR and western blotting were performed to detect expressions of FMNL2, COMMD10 and p65 in paired tissues. RESULTS FMNL2 targets COMMD10 for ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation in CRC cells. COMMD10 targets p65 NF-κB (nuclear factor-κB) subunit and reduces its nuclear translocation, thereby leading to the inactivation of NF-κB pathway and suppression of CRC invasion and metastasis. Inhibition of NF-κB signalling by COMMD10 is necessary for FMNL2-mediated CRC cell behaviours. Downregulation of COMMD10 predicts poor prognosis of CRC patients. The expressions of FMNL2, COMMD10 and p65 are highly linked in CRC tissues. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that the FMNL2/COMMD10/p65 axis acts as a critical regulator in the maintenance of metastatic phenotypes and is strongly associated with negative clinical outcomes.

Abstract
DOC-2/DAB2 interacting protein (DAB2IP) is a RasGAP protein that shows a suppressive effect on cancer progression. Our previous study showed the involvement of transcription regulation of DAB2IP in metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the molecular mechanisms of DAB2IP in regulating the progression of CRC need to be further explored. Here, we identified heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) as vital downstream targets of DAB2IP in CRC cells by two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis and cDNA microassay, respectively. Mechanistically, down-regulation of DAB2IP increased the level of hnRNPK through MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Subsequently, translocation of hnRNPK into nucleus enhanced the transcription activity of MMP2, and therefore promoted invasion and metastasis of CRC. Down-regulation of DAB2IP correlated negatively with hnRNPK and MMP2 expressions in CRC tissues. In conclusion, our study elucidates a novel mechanism of the DAB2IP/hnRNPK/MMP2 axis in the regulation of CRC invasion and metastasis, which may be a potential therapeutic target.

MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical profiles and second-line regimens were retrospectively analyzed for 65 recurrent platinum-resistant OEC patients treated at Zhejiang Provincial Tumor Hospital during January 2003 to January 2013. In conjunction with literature reviews, the second-line therapies for platinum-resistant recurrent OEC were discussed. RESULTS Their average age was 55.2 years. The stages were I (n=4), II (n=3), III (n=45), and IV (n=13). The predominant type was serous adenocarcinoma (n=47, 72.3%). Chemotherapy was refused (n=14) and resistant (n=5 1). One case was lost to follow-up and another three withdrew early. An average of four chemotherapeutic courses were offered in 61 cases. Among them, five cases selected chemotherapy after a second operation. The average therapy-free interval (TFI) was 3.5 months. The efficacies were evaluated for 61 cases. CR (n=5) and partial remission (PR, n=22). The overall survival (OS) rate was 43.6% and average progression-free survival (PFS) was 15.44 months. CONCLUSION The efficacy of second-line therapy for recurrent platinum-resistant OEC is rather poor and the feasibility and efficacy of second operation are to be further explored.

Abstract
F-box proteins are critical components of the SKP1-CUL1-F-box (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligases and involved in the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway. Dysregulation of F-box protein-mediated proteolysis often leads to human malignancies. F-box only protein 8 (FBX8), a novel component of F-box proteins, is down-regulated in several tumors and closely correlates with tumor progression. However, little is known about its function, regulatory mechanisms and substrates in the progression of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Combining microRNA (miRNA) assay, functional characterization, mechanistic studies with clinical validation, we identify FBX8 as a CRC metastasis suppressor downstream of miR-223, a metastasis promoting miRNA that is transcriptionally regulated by Myocyte enhancer factor (MEF2A). mTOR is a substrate of FBX8 for ubiquitin-mediated degradation and is required for FBX8 induced cell proliferation and invasion in CRC cells. FBX8 is down-regulated in human CRC tissues and correlates with MEF2A, miR-223 and mTOR expression levels. Notably, low FBX8 expression status in CRC tissues was a significant prognostic factor for poor overall survival of patients. These findings illustrate FBX8 as a metastasis suppressor that functions through mTOR signaling pathway and has significant prognostic power.

Abstract
Background: MiR-214 is aberrantly regulated in several tumours, but its underlying mechanisms in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis remain largely unknown. This study aimed to demonstrate the function and potential mechanism of miR-214 in regulating invasion and metastasis of CRC. Methods: The transcription factor and targets of miR-214 were predicted by bioinformatics and validated using ChIP and dual-luciferase reporter assay. DNA methylation status was explored using bisulphite sequencing PCR. The in vitro and in vivo function of miR-214 in CRC was evaluated using MTT, plate colony formation, Matrigel invasion and animal models. Real-time PCR or western blotting was performed to detect FOXD3, miR-214 and MED19 expressions in CRC cells and clinical specimens. Results: MiR-214 was downregulated in CRC and was significantly correlated with lymphatic metastasis. Downregulation of miR-214 might due to promoter hypermethylation in CRC. FOXD3 was validated as a transcription factor of miR-214 by ChIP assay. Dual-luciferase assay identified MED19 as a target of miR-214 in CRC. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that miR-214 mediated the inhibiting effect of FOXD3 on proliferation, invasion and metastasis by targeting MED19. Spearman's correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between FOXD3 and miR-214, and negative correlations between FOXD3 and MED19, miR-214 and MED19 in CRC cells and clinical specimens. Conclusions: FOXD3/miR-214/MED19 axis is important for the regulation of growth, invasion and metastasis of CRC. Targeting the miR-214-mediated axis might be helpful for the treatment of CRC.

Abstract
A new graphical description of the primary structure of protein sequences is introduced. First, a three-dimensional space discrete point set of a protein sequence is created based on the three main physicochemical properties of the amino acids. Secondly, a continuous cubic B-spline curve interpolating the amino acid points is constructed to represent the shape of the protein sequence. Then the geometric properties (curvature and torsion) of the continuous curve are extracted for the purpose of analyzing the similarity between protein sequences. Finally, an improved Canberra distance comparison is introduced for the similarity analysis of protein sequences with different lengths. Experimental results show that our method is effective for the similarity comparison of protein sequences.

Abstract
Although peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) and adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) are reported to be anti-inflammatory factors in acute lung injury (ALI), their internal link and synergic or antagonistic effect after activation are poorly understood. Here, we found that PPARγ and A2AR could upregulate the mRNA and protein expressions of each other in lung tissues of LPS-induced mouse ALI model and murine macrophages. Further investigation demonstrated that PPARγ upregulated A2AR expression by directly binding to a DR10 response element (-218 to -197) within A2AR gene promoter region. Instead of directly interacting with PPARγ, A2AR stimulated PPARγ expression via protein kinase A (PKA)-cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) signaling by provoking the binding of CREB to a cAMP responsive element (CRE)-like site in PPARγ gene promoter region. In addition, combination of PPARγ and A2AR agonists was found to exert obviously better effect on suppressing neutrophil infiltration and inflammatory cytokine expressions, attenuating lung edema, pathological changes and improving lung function of blood gas exchange than their single application. These findings reveal a novel functional positive feedback loop between PPARγ and A2AR signaling to potentialize their effect on inhibiting inflammation and attenuating lung damages in ALI. It suggests that targeting this PPARγ-A2AR signaling rather than PPARγ or A2AR alone may be a more attractive and efficient potential therapeutic strategy for ALI.

Abstract
Early detection of adefovir dipivoxil-resistant mutants during long-term treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with this drug is of great clinical importance. We developed an improved reverse dot hybridization test for simple and rapid detection of the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations associated with adefovir dipivoxil resistance in chronic hepatitis B patients. Probes were designed for genotypes B, C, and D of this resistance characteristic; a total of 70 clinical samples were analyzed with this improved reverse dot hybridization assay. Its usefulness was validated by comparing with sequencing data. Discordant results were confirmed by subclone sequencing. This reverse dot hybridization assay was sufficiently sensitive to detect 10(3) copies/mL; it also detected adefovir dipivoxil-resistant mutant strains when they comprised more than 5% of a mixed virus population. This reverse dot hybridization array correctly identified adefovir dipivoxil-resistant mutants; it had high concordance (98.5%) with direct sequencing data. There was no clear relationship between the HBV genotype and the development of adefovir dipivoxil-resistant mutants. This reverse dot hybridization assay proved to be simple and rapid for detection of rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations associated with resistance to adefovir dipivoxil.

Abstract
The antagonism or genetic deletion of adenosine A(2A) receptors has been shown to exacerbate tissue damage in acute lung injury. Caffeine, a widely consumed behavioral drug, acts as a non-selective antagonist of A(2A) receptor and also has additional pharmacological effects. Thus, the protective vs. deleterious effects of caffeine in acute lung injury should be evaluated. In a murine oleic acid-induced model of acute lung injury, we found that chronic caffeine treatment by drinking water (0.1g/l or 0.25g/l for 2 weeks before acute lung injury) or acute caffeine treatment at high dose (i.p. 50mg/kg, injection, 30min before acute lung injury) significantly attenuated the lung edema, hemorrhage, neutrophil recruitment as well as the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) expressions in both of the wild type (WT) and A(2A) receptor knockout (KO) mice. This profile was accompanied by increased cAMP levels and up-regulation of A2B receptor mRNAs in the lungs. In contrast, acute caffeine treatment at low dose (i.p. 5mg/kg or 15mg/kg, injection, 30min before acute lung injury) enhanced the inflammation and lung damage in WT mice with decreasing cAMP but not in A(2A) receptor KO mice. These results indicate that caffeine either enhances lung damage by antagonizing A(2A) receptor or exerts protection against lung damage via A(2A) receptor-independent mechanisms, depending on the timing of exposure (chronic vs. acute) and dose of administration (low vs. high). These findings provide new insight of caffeine in acute lung injury and highlight the potential benefit and strategy of caffeine intake or administration for preventing acute lung injury.

Abstract
Endothelial function plays a very important role in the process of erection. Erectile dysfunction (ED) and coronary artery disease (CAD) overlap in risk factors, aetiology and clinical outcomes. Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be their shared aetiological factor. There is growing evidence that patients presenting with ED should be investigated for CAD, even if with no symptoms of the problem. Earlier diagnosis of ED can facilitate prompt intervention, reduce long-term complications, especially the risk of CAD, and provide effective treatment for ED.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to ascertain whether MG7Ag is a useful predictor of evolution of gastric dysplasia to carcinoma. A total of 1090 patients with confirmed dysplasia were stained immunohistochemically with MG7 monoclonal antibody by the ABC method. A prospective follow-up study was undertaken on 19 patients with MG7Ag positive staining and 16 with MG7 negative staining over a period of 10-78 months. The expression of MG7Ag was also compared in another two groups by conducting retrospective studies. One group showed an evolution into gastric cancer over 2-4 years, the other did not. Quantitative analysis of MG7Ag expression was carried out on the last two groups. The receiver operating characteristic curve and Youden index were used to assess the best critical value for MG7Ag. MG7Ag was found positive in 456/1090 cases (41.8%) with dysplasia. Prospective follow-up of 35 patients showed that 6/19 patients with MG7Ag positive staining developed gastric cancer, but there were no carcinomatous changes in 16 patients with MG7 negative staining. The results of MG7Ag expression in 72 cases with retrospective follow-up showed there were 24 with positive immunostaining among 34 cancerous cases (70.6%), and only 7 in 38 non-cancerous cases (18.4%) (p<0.01). Image analysis showed that an average MG7Ag density index ++0.19 could be regarded as the critical value for high risk of gastric mucosa with dysplasia evolving to cancer. Positive MG7Ag expression in gastric mucosa of patients with dysplasia, especially in cases with a density index ++0.19, was an indicator of high risk of malignant change.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Microcirculation viviperception and fluorescent tracer techniques were used and digital image analysis applied for quantitative measurement of fluorescein sodium (FiNa) permeability in microvessels of the cerebral pia mater. The diffusion permeation equations of FiNa within the blood vessels and through the vessel walls into the perivascular tissue of normal rats and ischemic rats were established with two vessels as study object, thus the permeation speed equations under different ischemic conditions were deduced. Based on analysis of the results, we deduced the relation between the permeability and the intersection angle of two vessels. RESULT logarithm model showed a good fit of the experiment data. The permeation equation showed logarithmic distribution and then tended towards stability. FiNa could pass through microvessel walls with the highest speed in the one-hour ischemic rat group, and the permeation speed of FiNa in rats receiving reperfusion after twelve hours of ischemia was much faster than that in normal rats. CONCLUSION the method can be useful for quantitative analysis of cerebral pia mater microvascular permeability

Abstract
AIM: To study the polymorphism of flagellin A genotype and its significance in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
METHODS: As the template, genome DNA was purified from six clinical isolates of H. pylori from outpatients, and the corresponding flagellin A fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. All these products were sequenced. These sequences were compared with each other, and analyzed by software of FASTA program.
RESULTS: Specific PCR products were amplified from all of these H. pylori isolates and no length divergence was found among them. Compared with each other, the highest ungapped identity is 99.10%, while the lowest is 94.65%. Using FASTA program, the alignments between query and library sequences derived from different H. pylori strains were higher than 90%.
CONCLUSION: The nucleotide sequence of flagellin A in H. pylori is highly conservative with incident divergence. This information may be useful for gene diagnosis and further study on flagellar antigen phenotype.

Abstract
AIM: To discover the relationship between the genotype and antigen serotype of flagellin C among Salmonella strains.
METHODS: Fragment of Salmonella flagellin C in plasmid pLS408 was cloned, sequenced and compared with the corresponding sequence in other strains. Salmonella strains including two typhi strains, one paratyphoid strain, one enteritidis and one typhimurium strain were isolated from outpatients. Genome DNA was purified respectively from these clinical isolates, then the corresponding flagellin C fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and the amplification products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis.
RESULTS: The cloned fragment includes 582 nucleotides encoding the variable region and partial conservative region of Salmonella flagellin C in plasmid pLS408. With comparison to the corresponding sequences reported previously, there is only a little difference from other strains with the same flagellar serotype in both nucleotide and amino acid level. Specific PCR products were amplified in Salmonella strains with flagellar serotype H-1-d including S. muenchen, typhi and typhimurium, but not in S. paratyphoid C or S. enteritidis strains.
CONCLUSION: In this experiment, the specificity of nucleotide sequence could be found in flagellin C central variable regions as it exists in flagellar serotypes in Salmonella. It may be helpful to developing a rapid, sensitive, accurate and PCR-based method to detect Salmonella strains with serotype H-1-d.

Abstract
We studied the effect of shear stress (SS) on intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression of rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (RBMECs) using the parallel plate flow chamber method. It was demonstrated that RBMECs showed a time-dependent, but not a force-dependent, upregulation in ICAM-1 expression. Endothelial cell surface expression of ICAM-1 in the supernatants of RBMECs exposed to SS was not changed, thus excluding the possibility that the upregulated expression is due to the factors synthesized by these cells. These data throw light on understanding the signal transduction pathway inside the endothelial cells under the effect of SS.

Abstract
We have investigated the functional coupling of the rat 5HT(5a) receptor subtype to adenylate cyclase in a rat C6 glioma cell line. In 5HT(5a) receptor-transfected cells, 5HT caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation, with an EC(50) value of 41 nM and a maximal effect of 57% inhibition. This effect was dependent on the concentration of forskolin used to elevate cAMP levels. Methiothepin (1 mcM), which has high affinity for the 5HT(5a) receptor, antagonized the 5HT(5a) receptor-mediated inhibition, and unmasked a stimulation of cAMP formation similar to that observed in untransfected cells, whereas ketanserin (0.1 mcM) enhanced the inhibitory effect of 5HT. Pertussis toxin treatment (0.5 mcg/ml) completely blocked the inhibitory effect of 5HT on cAMP formation, also revealing increase in cAMP accumulation. Pretreatment of the transfected membranes with pertussis toxin abolished subsequent ADP-ribosylation of a 41 kDa protein, correlating the cAMP effect with a functional uncoupling of an inhibitory G protein from its receptor. These results demonstrate an efficient functional coupling of the rat 5HT(5a) receptor to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G[alpha(i)], inhibitory G-protein.
