Abstract
OBJECTIVES Wildfire air pollution is a growing concern on human health. The study aims to assess the associations between wildfire air pollution and pregnancy outcomes in the Southwestern United States. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study. METHODS Birth records of 627,404 singleton deliveries in 2018 were obtained in eight states of the Southwestern United States and were linked to wildfire-sourced fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and their constituents (black carbon [BC] and organic carbon [OC]) during the entire gestational period. A double-robust logistic regression model was used to assess the associations of wildfire-sourced PM2.5 exposures and preterm birth and term low birth weight, adjusting for non-fire-sourced PM2.5 exposure and individual- and area-level confounder variables. RESULTS Wildfire-sourced PM2.5 contributed on average 15% of the ambient total PM2.5 concentrations. For preterm birth, the strongest association was observed in the second trimester (odds ratio [OR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.07 for PM2.5; 1.06, 95% CI: 1.05-1.07 for BC; 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03-1.05 for OC, per interquartile range increment of exposure), with higher risks identified among non-smokers or those with low socio-economic status. For term low birth weight, the associations with wildfire-sourced PM2.5 exposures were consistently elevated for all trimesters except for the exposure averaged over the entire gestational period. Overall, the associations between wildfire-sourced PM2.5 and pregnancy outcomes were stronger than those with total PM2.5. CONCLUSIONS Wildfire-sourced PM2.5 and its constituents are linked to higher risks of preterm birth and term low birth weight among a significant US population than the effects of ambient total PM2.5.

Abstract
Ubiquitin-specific protease 3 (USP3) plays an important role in the progression of various tumors. However, the role of USP3 in osteosarcoma (OS) remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to explore the biological function of USP3 in OS and the underlying molecular mechanism. We found that OS had higher USP3 expression compared with that of normal bone tissue, and high expression of USP3 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with OS. Overexpression of USP3 significantly increased OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Mechanistically, USP3 led to the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in OS by binding to EPHA2 and then reducing its protein degradation. Notably, the truncation mutant USP3-F2 (159-520) interacted with EPHA2, and amino acid 203 was found to play an important role in this process. And knockdown of EPHA2 expression reversed the pro-tumour effects of USP3-upregulating. Thus, our study indicates the USP3/EPHA2 axis may be a novel potential target for OS treatment.

Abstract
The Cellulose Synthase gene (CS) superfamily and COBRA-like (COBL) gene family are essential for synthesizing cellulose and hemicellulose, which play a crucial role in cell wall biosynthesis and the hardening of plant tissues. Our study identified 126 ZbCS and 31 ZbCOBL genes from the Zanthoxylum bungeanum (Zb) genome. Phylogenetic analysis and conservative domain analysis unfolded that ZbCS and ZbCOBL genes were divided into seven and two subfamilies, respectively. Gene duplication data suggested that more than 75% of these genes had tandem and fragment duplications. Codon usage patterns analysis indicated that the ZbCS and ZbCOBL genes prefer ending with A/T base, with weak codon preference. Furthermore, seven key ZbCS and five key ZbCOBL genes were identified based on the content of cellulose and hemicellulose and the expression characteristics of ZbCS and ZbCOBL genes in various stages of stipule thorns. Altogether, these results improve the understanding of CS and COBL genes and provide valuable reference data for cultivating Zb with soft thorns.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the quantitative parameters derived from synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (SyMRI) for predicting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study enrolled participants with invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDBC) and separated them into a TNBC group and a Non-TNBC group. Preoperative breast MRI included both the SyMRI and conventional MRI sequences. The quantitative parameters derived from the SyMRI included T1 and T2 relaxation times, proton density (PD), and their standard deviations (SD). Clinicopathological characteristics, conventional MRI findings, and quantitative synthetic parameters were assessed for all participants. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the potential independent imaging predictors for TNBC preoperatively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the performance of these parameters. RESULTS A total of 231 participants with histopathological proven IDBC were included in this study (n=46 in the TNBC group and n=185 in the Non-TNBC group). The TNBC group had significantly larger tumour size (p=0.011) and more frequent intratumoural cystic or necrotic lesions (p<0.001) as compared to the Non-TNBC group. The univariate analysis showed that the TNBC tumours had significantly higher T1 (p=0.006) and T2 (p<0.001) values than Non-TNBC tumours. Subsequent multivariable analysis indicated that T2 values and the presence of cystic or necrotic lesions were the independent predictors for TNBC. CONCLUSION The T2 from synthetic imaging and the presence of cystic degeneration or necrosis within the breast cancer may serve as potential imaging biomarkers for preoperative differentiation of TNBC from Non-TNBC.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor. Fatty acid reprogramming plays an essential role in OS progression. However, new fatty acid related therapeutic targets of OS have not been completely elucidated. Therefore, we firstly identified 113 differentially expressed fatty acid metabolism genes using bioinformatic analysis, 19 of which were found to be associated with OS prognosis. Then, 7 hub genes were screened out and yielded a strong prediction accuracy (AUC value = 0.88, at 3 years) for predicting the survival status of OS patients. Furthermore, we confirmed that SCD was highly expressed in OS cells and patients. And Knock-down of SCD impaired proliferation and migration of OS cells. Moreover, SCD was transcriptionally activated by c-Myc to promote proliferation and migration of OS cells. Finally, SCD inhibitor could significantly induce OS ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, we identified that SCD was a reliable risk factor for OS patients. And SCD was activated by c-Myc. The inhibitor of SCD could significantly impaired OS growth and induce OS ferroptosis, which indicated that SCD was a potential drug target for OS treatment.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly fatal bone tumor characterized by high degree of malignancy and early lung metastasis. Traditional chemotherapy fails in improving the efficacy and survival rate of patients with OS. Butyrate (NaBu) has been reported as a new antitumor drug for inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis in various cancer cells. However, the effect of NaBu on the ferroptosis of OS is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate whether NaBu promotes erastin-induced ferroptosis in OS cells and to uncover the underlying mechanism. Here, we found that NaBu significantly enhanced erastin-induced ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. Compared with the group that erastin used alonely, pre-treating with NaBu exacerbated erastin-meditated GSH depletion, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial morphologic changes in OS cells. In a subcutaneous OS model, NaBu combined with erastin significantly reduced tumor growth and increased the levels of 4-HNE. Mechanistically, NaBu downregulated SLC7A11 transcription via regulating ATF3 expression. Overexpression of ATF3 facilitated erastin to induce ferroptosis, while ATF3 knockdown attenuated NaBu-induced ferroptosis sensitivity. In conclusion, our findings revealed a previously unidentified role of NaBu in erastin-induced ferroptosis by regulating SLC7A11, suggesting that NaBu may be a potential therapeutic agent for OS treatment.

Abstract
YY1 affects tumorigenesis and metastasis in multiple ways. However, the function of YY1 and the potential mechanisms through which it operates in gastric cancer (GC) progression by regulating autophagy remains poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the essential transcription factors (TFs) involved in autophagy regulation in GC. Western blot, RFP-GFP-LC3 double fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) assays were used to probe autophagy activity in GC cells. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) was utilized to evaluate the ALKBH5-regulated m6A levels of YY1. Gain- and loss-of-function assays were employed in the scrutiny of the biological effects of the ALKBH5/YY1/ATG4B axis on cancer cell proliferation and invasion abilities in vitro. Per the findings, YY1 was identified as a crucial transcriptional activator of cancer autophagy-related genes and promoted the proliferation and aggressiveness of cancer cells associated with enhanced ATG4B-mediated autophagy. However, ectopic ALKBH5 expression abolished the YY1-induced effect via m6A modification. Importantly, YTHDF1 facilitated the mRNA stability of YY1 through m6A recognition. Collectively, this study found that YY1 was regulated by ALKBH5 and YTHDF1-mediated m6A modification and served as an autophagy-dependent tumor driver to accelerate cancer progression through ATG4B transactivation, providing an exploitable therapeutic target for GC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anaemia during pregnancy is a significant public health problem that adversely impacts both the mother and foetus. However, the factors influencing maternal anaemia in deprived areas of Northwestern China have not yet been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to describe the prevalence and potential influencing factors of anaemia among expectant mothers in rural areas of Northwestern China. STUDY DESIGN This was a cross-sectional survey. METHODS A cross-sectional survey of 586 expectant mothers was conducted to investigate the prevalence of anaemia, prenatal healthcare coverage, dietary diversity and nutrient supplementation intake. The study population was selected from the sample areas using a random sampling method. Data were collected through a questionnaire, and haemoglobin concentrations were measured by a capillary blood test. RESULTS The results show that 34.8% of the study population were anaemic, with 13% having moderate-to-severe anaemia. The results of the regression analysis showed that diet was not significantly associated with haemoglobin concentrations or the prevalence of anaemia. However, regular prenatal healthcare attendance was found to be an important influencing factor for both haemoglobin concentration (β = 3.67, P = 0.002) and the prevalence of anaemia (odds ratio = 0.59, P = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS Pregnant women receiving regular prenatal care were less likely to be anaemic; thus, it is essential to implement strategies to improve attendance at maternal public health services to reduce the prevalence of maternal anaemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of research shows that drug monomers from traditional Chinese herbal medicines have antineuroinflammatory and neuroprotective effects that can significantly improve the recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Here, we explore the role and molecular mechanisms of Alpinetin on activating microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis after SCI. METHODS Stimulation of microglia with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to simulate neuroinflammation models in vitro, the effect of Alpinetin on the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in LPS-induced microglia and its mechanism were detected. In addition, a co-culture system of microglia and neuronal cells was constructed to assess the effect of Alpinetin on activating microglia-mediated neuronal apoptosis. Finally, rat spinal cord injury models were used to study the effects on inflammation, neuronal apoptosis, axonal regeneration, and motor function recovery in Alpinetin. RESULTS Alpinetin inhibits microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and activity of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Alpinetin can also reverse activated microglia-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in PC12 neuronal cells. In addition, in vivo Alpinetin significantly inhibits the inflammatory response and neuronal apoptosis, improves axonal regeneration, and recovery of motor function. CONCLUSION Alpinetin can be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases and is a novel drug candidate for the treatment of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Codon usage bias (CUB) reveals the characteristics of species and can be utilized to understand their evolutionary relationship, increase the target genes' expression in the heterologous receptor plants, and further provide theoretic assistance for correlative study on molecular biology and genetic breeding. The chief aim of this work was to analyze the CUB in chloroplast (cp.) genes in nine Elaeagnus species to provide references for subsequent studies. The codons of Elaeagnus cp. genes preferred to end with A/T bases rather than with G/C bases. Most of the cp. genes were prone to mutation, while the rps7 genes were identical in sequences. Natural selection was inferred to have a powerful impact on the CUB in Elaeagnus cp. genomes, and their CUB was extremely strong. In addition, the optimal codons were identified in the nine cp. genomes based on the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) values, and the optimal codon numbers were between 15 and 19. The clustering analyses based on RSCU were contrasted with the maximum likelihood (ML)-based phylogenetic tree derived from coding sequences, suggesting that the t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding clustering method was more appropriate for evolutionary relationship analysis than the complete linkage method. Moreover, the ML-based phylogenetic tree based on the conservative matK genes and the whole cp. genomes had visible differences, indicating that the sequences of specific cp. genes were profoundly affected by their surroundings. Following the clustering analysis, Arabidopsis thaliana was considered the optimal heterologous expression receptor plant for the Elaeagnus cp. genes.

Abstract
MYC proto-oncogene (MYC) is a transcription factor among the most commonly activated oncoproteins, playing vital roles in lipid metabolism and tumor aggressiveness with broad effects. However, it is still largely unknown about the regulating mechanisms of MYC in osteosarcoma (OS). In this study, we identify a circRNA with Reduced Expression in OS (termed as circREOS) generated from MYC gene, as a novel regulator of MYC and OS progression. CircREOS is down-regulated in OS cells and localized in the nucleus. CircREOS suppresses MYC expression, lipid metabolism and growth, invasion in OS cells. Mechanically, circREOS physically interacts with HuR (human antigen R) protein, and subsequently restrains its binding and activation on the 3'-UTR (untranslated region) of MYC mRNA, resulting in down-regulation of MYC and inhibition of OS. Moreover, circREOS serves as a tumor suppressor via targeting lipid metabolism. CircREOS reduces FASN expression and lipid accumulation through inhibiting MYC-facilitated FASN regulation. Taken together, these results indicate that circREOS suppress lipid synthesis and OS progression through inhibiting HuR-mediated MYC activation, providing a potential therapeutic target for OS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prenatal and postpartum depression are important public health challenges because of their long-term adverse impacts on maternal and neonatal health. This study investigated the risk of maternal depression among pregnant and postpartum women in poor rural China, along with the correlation between primary family caregiver identity and maternal depression risk. METHODS Pregnant women and new mothers were randomly selected from poor rural villages in the Qinba Mountains area in Shaanxi. Basic demographic information was collected regarding the women and their primary family caregivers. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to identify women at risk of depression, and the Perceived Social Support Scale was used to evaluate perceived family support. RESULTS This study included 220 pregnant women and 473 new mothers. The mean proportions of women at risk of prenatal and postpartum depression were 19.5% and 18.6%, respectively. Regression analysis showed that identification of the baby's grandmother as the primary family caregiver was negatively correlated with maternal depression risk (β=-0.979, 95% confidence interval [CI]=-1.946 to -0.012, P=0.047). However, the husband's involvement in that role was not significantly correlated with maternal depression risk (β=-0.499, 95% CI=-1.579 to 0.581, P=0.363). Identification of the baby's grandmother as the primary family caregiver was positively correlated with family support score (β=0.967, 95% CI=-0.062 to 1.996, P=0.065). CONCLUSION Prenatal and postpartum depression are prevalent in poor rural China. The involvement of the baby's grandmother as the primary family caregiver may reduce maternal depression risk, but the husband's involvement in that role has no effect.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary healthcare in rural China is underutilised, especially in village clinics in Southwest China. The aim of this study was to explore any relationships among the ethnicity of the healthcare provider, the clinical competence of the healthcare provider, and the utilisation of village clinics in Southwest China. METHODS This cross-sectional survey study involved 330 village healthcare providers from three prefectures in Yunnan Province in 2017. Multiple logistic regressions were adopted to investigate the utilisation of primary healthcare among different ethnic healthcare providers. RESULTS Primary healthcare utilisation was higher in village clinics where healthcare providers were Han Chinese than those where healthcare providers were ethnic minority (151 vs 101, P=0.008). The logistic regression analysis showed that clinical competence was positively associated with the utilisation of primary healthcare (odds ratio [OR]=1.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.12-2.00; P=0.007) and that inadequate clinical competence of ethnic minority health workers may lead to a lag in the utilisation of primary healthcare (OR=0.45, 95% CI=0.23-0.89; P=0.022). CONCLUSION Our results confirm differences in the utilisation of primary healthcare in rural Yunnan Province among healthcare providers of different ethnicities. Appropriate enhancements of clinical competence could be conducive to improving the utilisation of primary healthcare, especially among ethnic minority healthcare providers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer associated with anthropometric measures including Body Mass Index (BMI), adult weight gain, and waist circumference has been observed in North American and European populations, but little evidence is available for Hispanic women. Breast cancer is the leading type of cancer, and leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Hispanic women in Puerto Rico (PR). However, compared with the United States, breast cancer incidence rates are lower but increasing more rapidly. PURPOSE To examine associations between anthropometric characteristics and breast cancer risk in Hispanic women in PR. METHODS Data from a population-based case-control study in the San Juan metropolitan region (cases = 315; controls = 348) were used to examine associations between anthropometric measures and breast cancer risk, also considering menopausal status and hormone therapy (HT). RESULTS Among premenopausal participants, there was a significant trend for lower odds of breast cancer with higher BMI and borderline significant with higher waist to height ratio (WHtR). For postmenopausal participants, a significant trend for lower odds of breast cancer was observed with higher WHtR, and waist to hip ratio (WHR), borderline significant with higher BMI, and higher odds with height. Among postmenopausal participants using HT, a significant trend for lower odds of breast cancer was observed with higher waist circumference, WHtR, WHR, and body shape index. CONCLUSION Our study provides evidence of anthropometric differences in relation to breast cancer risk in PR compared to previous studies. Future studies should include analyses of fat and lean mass distribution, and hormone receptor status to further understand anthropometry and breast cancer risk among Hispanic women.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between tea consumption and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality among Chinese adults. Methods: This study was based on China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB). Tea consumption information was self-reported by participants at baseline. Death was mainly identified by linkage to the death registry system. Cox proportional hazard regression models estimated HR and 95%CI. Results: With a median follow-up of 11.1 years, there were 34 661 deaths in 438 443 participants. Compared with those who never drink tea, all-cause mortality HR(95%CI) were 0.89(0.86-0.91) and 0.92(0.88-0.95) for non-daily tea drinkers and daily tea drinkers, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found in the association of tea consumption and the risk of all-cause mortality between men and women(interaction P<0.05). The protective effect was mainly seen in men. Compared with those who never drink tea, daily tea drinkers had a reduced risk of death from ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, cancer, respiration diseases and other causes of death, and the corresponding HR(95%CI) were 0.83(0.76-0.92), 0.82(0.69-0.97), 0.86(0.78-0.94), 1.03(0.97-1.09), 1.00(0.87-1.16), 0.84(0.78-0.90). Among never smokers and non-excessive drinkers, there was no statistically significant association between daily tea drinking and the risk of death from cancer. While smokers and excessive drinkers had an increased risk of death from cancer (interaction P<0.001). Conclusions: Tea consumers had reduced risks of all-cause mortality and partial cause-specific mortality, but not for the risk of death from cancer. On the contrary, daily tea drinkers with smoking habits and excessive alcohol drinking had an increased risk of death from cancer.

Abstract
Objective: Hypoxic tumors contribute to local failure and distant metastases. Nevertheless, the molecular hallmarks of hypoxia remain ill-defined in osteosarcoma. Here, we developed a hypoxic gene signature in osteosarcoma prognoses. Methods: With the random survival forest algorithm, a prognostic hypoxia-related gene signature was constructed for osteosarcoma in the TARGET cohort. Overall survival (OS) analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, multivariate cox regression analysis, and subgroup analysis were utilized for assessing the predictive efficacy of this signature. Also, external validation was presented in the GSE21257 cohort. GSEA was applied for signaling pathways involved in the high- and low-risk samples. Correlation analyses between risk score and immune cells, stromal/immune score, immune checkpoints, and sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs were performed in osteosarcoma. Then, a nomogram was built by integrating risk score, age, and gender. Results: A five-hypoxic gene signature was developed for predicting survival outcomes of osteosarcoma patients. ROC curves confirmed that this signature possessed the well predictive performance on osteosarcoma prognosis. Furthermore, it could be independently predictive of prognosis. Metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 and nitrogen metabolism were activated in the high-risk samples while cell adhesion molecules cams and intestinal immune network for IgA production were enriched in the low-risk samples. The low-risk samples were characterized by elevated immune cell infiltrations, stromal/immune scores, TNFRSF4 expression, and sensitivity to cisplatin. The nomogram accurately predicted 1-, 3-, and 5-years survival duration. Conclusion: These findings might offer an insight into the optimization of prognosis risk stratification and individualized therapy for osteosarcoma patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The relations of variety and quantity of dietary proteins intake from different sources with mortality risk were still controversial. We aimed to examine the associations of variety and quantity of different sourced proteins with all-cause mortality risk in adults and older adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS 17,310 participants (mean age was 44.0 [SD: 15.9] years and 51.0% were females) with utilizable data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey were included. Dietary intake was collected using three consecutive 24-h dietary recalls combined with a household food inventory. The variety score of protein sources was defined as the number of proteins consumed at the appropriate level, accounting for both types and quantity of proteins. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 9.0 years, 1324 (7.6%) death cases were reported. There were reversed J-shaped relationships of percentages energy from total protein, and protein from legume with all-cause mortality; U-shaped relationships of proteins from unprocessed red meat, processed red meat, poultry and whole grain with all-cause mortality; L-shaped relationships of proteins from egg and fish with all-cause mortality; and a reversed L-shaped relationship of protein from refined grain with all-cause mortality (all P values for nonlinearity < 0.001). Moreover, there was a significant inverse association between the variety score of protein sources with overall mortality risk (per score increment, HR, 0.69; 95%CI, 0.66-0.72). CONCLUSIONS Greater variety of proteins with appropriate quantity from different food sources was associated with significantly lower risk of mortality in Chinese adults and older adults.

Abstract
Osteolytic disorders are characterized by impaired bone volume and trabecular structure that leads to severe fragility fractures. Studies have shown that excessive osteoclast activity causes impaired bone microstructure, a sign of osteolytic diseases such as osteoporosis. Approaches of inhibiting osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption specifically could prevent osteoporosis and other osteolytic disorders. Acacetin is a potent molecule extracted from plants with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory bioactivities. Here, we demonstrated, for the first time, that acacetin repressed osteoclastogenesis, formation of F-actin rings, bone resorption activity, and osteoclast-related gene expression in vitro through modulating ERK, P38, and NF-κB signaling pathways and preventing expression of NFATc1. Micro-CT and H & E staining results indicated that acacetin alleviated LPS-induced osteolysis in vivo. Overall, our findings suggested that acacetin could help to prevent osteoporosis and other osteoclast-related osteolytic disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the heterogeneity of decidual endothelial cells and their changes during delivery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to characterize the transcriptomes of decidual endothelial cells before and after the onset of labor. RESULTS Decidual endothelial cells (9748 cells) were divided into five subgroups with different functions according to differences in the transcriptome. The functions of cluster 5 were enriched in vascular development and response to growth factors. After the onset of labor, the activities of each cluster were different, including the interleukin 17 pathway and regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade. The downregulated genes were related to scavenger receptor (cluster 5), which may reflect the process of endothelial activation. In terms of genetic changes, cluster 5 may be more actively involved in labor than the other clusters. CONCLUSIONS Peripartum decidual endothelial cells are heterogeneous and participate in labor to varying degrees. One of the five subtypes of endothelial cells may be more actively involved in labor onset. Our findings may enable the assessment of decidual endothelial cells and labor onset.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Effective provider-patient communication has been confirmed to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, health outcomes, patient satisfaction, and treatment compliance. Few studies have measured the effectiveness of communication between patients and rural providers in China. To fill this gap in the literature, the present study describes the communication skills of providers at primary healthcare facilities in rural China and investigates the provider- and facility-level factors underlying these communication skills. METHODS The standardised patients successfully completed 504 interactions across two tiers of China's rural health system and engaged with providers at village clinics and township health centres. We assessed providers' communication skills based on recorded interactions between the providers and the standardised patients using the SEGUE Framework, which contains the following five dimensions: 'Set the stage', 'Elicit information', 'Give information', 'Understand the patient's perspective', and 'End the encounter'. RESULTS The providers' overall average score was 50.6% on the SEGUE communication tasks. They did well in 'Set the stage' (54.4%) and 'Elicit information' (56.2%) but performed poorly in 'End the encounter' (24.5%) and 'Understand the patient's perspective' (44.0%). Female and younger providers scored 0.75 (P<0.05) and 0.04 (P<0.01) points higher than their male and older counterparts on total SEGUE score, respectively. CONCLUSION Providers in rural China had relatively poor communication skills overall, especially in terms of their demonstration of care for patients and inviting them to participate in the interaction. Gender and age were significantly associated with providers' level of communication skills in rural China.

Abstract
The surface modification of titanium is effective in promoting osseointegration and is widely used in the treatment of bone diseases. Epimedii Folium (EF) plays an important role in the treatment of metabolic bone diseases. However, few studies have so far been reported on their combined use in such treatments. In the present study, EF water extract was coated onto the surface of TiO₂ nanotubes (TNT) by electrochemical anodization to obtain EF-TNT. Through analysis of surface morphology characteristics, it was demonstrated that EF was successfully coated on the surface of TiO₂ nanotubes. In vitro drug release data suggested that the quantity of EF water extract released was a significant quantity over 4 days, reaching a total of 80%, the release continuing in total for approximately 2 weeks. By using scanning electron microscopy and immunofluorescent staining, it was found that, EF-TNT more strongly promoted adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts compared with Ti and TNT. Quantitative reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis indicated that the expression of key genes for proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, such as COL1a1, ALP, OPN, and Runx2, were up-regulated by EF-TNT. Network pharmacology analysis suggested that EF water extract not only regulated the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts but also caused a regulatory effect on osteoclasts via multiple signaling pathways, such as RANKL-RANK-induced signaling and TGF-β signaling. These findings indicate that the EF-TNT promotes differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts, and represents considerable potential for use in clinical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) as a probiotic has been reported to have an important role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases. However, the effects of C. butyricum on regulation of intestinal motility of ulcerative colitis (UC) remain unclear. Our study aimed to explore the cross-regulation effect of C. butyricum and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) on UC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) were treated by C. butyricum for 2 h, the mRNA and protein levels of TLR-2, IL-6, and IL-8 were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Then, TLR2-specific small interfering RNA (si-TLR2) was transfected into ICCs, and the relative expressions of IL-6 and IL-8, SCF, cell viability, ghrelin, SP, and ET were measured by RT-qPCR, Western blot, CCK-8, and ELISA. Besides, the signal pathways of NF-κB and JNK were determined by Western blot. RESULTS C. butyricum significantly increased TLR2, IL-6, and IL-8 expressions in ICCs. However, TLR2 silence alleviated C. butyricum-induced IL-6 and IL-8 expressions. Moreover, TLR2 silence significantly inhibited C. butyricum-induced cell viability in ICCs. Additionally, C. butyricum significantly increased SCF expression and promoted the secretion of ghrelin and SP. However, a significant reduction in the levels of SCF, ghrelin, and SP was evident in the silence of TLR2 expression. Besides, TLR2 silence reduced C. butyricum-activation NF-κB and JNK signal pathways in ICCs. CONCLUSIONS These findings revealed that C. butyricum promoted intestinal motility by regulation of TLR2 in ICCs, which contributed to understand the molecular mechanisms of C. butyricum on UC.

Abstract
AIMS Epidemiological studies have correlated cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis with lifestyle factors such as sedentary behaviour and a high-calorie diet. Recent studies of pathogenesis have highlighted the significance of the intestinal microbiota and chronic inflammation with respect to both the onset and development of atherosclerosis. This study examined the hypothesis that the oral administration of quercetin to low-density lipoprotein receptor-null (Ldlr-/- ) mice would improve gut health by altering the gut microbiota and controlling the levels of atherogenic lipid metabolites and proinflammatory mediators in the intestine and serum. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice were maintained on a high-fat diet with or without oral quercetin administration for 12 weeks. Quercetin treatment suppressed body weight gains and reduced the extent of atherosclerotic lesions in the aortic sinus. Reduced malondialdehyde and increased interleukin 6 levels further indicated the protective effect of quercetin against immune/inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. Furthermore, quercetin led to decreased intestinal levels of cholesterol, lysophosphatidic acids and atherogenic lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC 18:1) and an increased level of coprostanol. A phylum-level microbial analysis revealed that quercetin treatment reduced the abundance of Verrocomicrobia and increased microbiome diversity and the abundances of Actinobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Firmicutes. A Spearman analysis revealed negative correlations of Actinobacteria with intestinal and plasma LPC 18:1 and caecal cholesterol levels and of Firmicutes and Cyanobacteria with the plasma LPC 18:1 level. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the ability of quercetin treatment to reduce lipid levels, as well as the areas of atherosclerotic lesions and sizes of plaques. This treatment also altered the composition of the gut microbiota and decreased the levels of atherogenic lipid metabolites. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Oral quercetin treatment may represent a new approach to mitigating the onset and development of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
What is more, some recent meta-analysis have demonstrated the sex difference between smoking, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation, and the risk of CVD mortality. Whether and to what extent the excess risk of cause-specific mortality from CVD death conferred by hypertension differs among women and men remain unclear.
Objective
A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed to explore whether and to what extent the excess risk of cause-specific mortality from CVD death conferred by hypertension differs among women and men.
Methods
PubMed and EMBASE was systematically searched for prospective cohort studies published from inception to 7 October 2017. Eligible studies reported sex-specific relative risk (RR) estimates for mortality of all-cause, CVD, coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke associated with hypertension. The data were pooled using random effects models with inverse variance weighting, and estimates of the women-to-men ratio of RRs (RRR) for each outcomes were derived.
Results
Twenty-four studies with 2,939,659 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The RR for CHD mortality associated with hypertension compared with no hypertension was 2.24 (95% CI 2.03–2.46) in women and 1. 72 (1.61–1.84) in men. The multiple-adjusted RRR for CHD mortality was 22% greater in women with hypertension than in men with hypertension (RRR 1.22, 95% CI 1.03–1.44) with no significant heterogencity between studies (I2=45%, P=0.11, Figure 1). No evidence was observed sex difference in the relationship between hypertension and the mortality from all-cause, CVD and stroke. Furthermore, the subgroup analyses showed that the pooled RRR for all-cause mortality, CVD and stroke mortality were not significantly associated with cohort region, the duration of follow-up, mean age of participants and the publication year of studies.
Conclusions
Hypertension is a major risk factor for all-cause, CVD, CHD and stroke among women and men. Moreover, women with hypertension have more than a 22% higher risk of CHD mortality compared with men with hypertension. Further studies need to identify the biological and/or lifestyle mechanisms involved in sex differences driving these associations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Marital status has been identified as an important social factor associated with mortality. In current epidemiologic research, being unmarried was observed to be a suboptimal health status in the global population. The growing number of unmarried people has health implications, in light of evidence suggesting that it is associated with an increase in the incidence of various diseases and high mortality. Few attempts have been made to produce an overall estimate and sufficiently clarified of the sex difference between unmarried status and mortality risks, this is still a matter of debate.
Purpose
To ascertain whether sex differences exist in the relationship between marital status and cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, all-cause mortality in the general population and to explore the potential effect of age, location, the duration of follow-up and publication years on these outcomes.
Methods
A systematic search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE from inception through to April 2018 and review of references. We used the sex-specific RRs (relative risk) to derive the women-to-men ratio of RRs (RRR) and 95% CIs from each study. Subsequently, the RRR for each outcome was pooled with random effects meta-analysis weighted by the inverse of the variances of the log RRRs.
Results
Twenty-one studies with 7,881,040 individuals were included for meta-analysis. Compared with married individuals, being unmarried was significantly associated with all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, CVD mortality and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, especially for singles, for both sexes (Figure 1). However, the association with death from all-cause and CVD was significantly stronger in men. Compared with women who were divorced/separated, divorced/separated men had significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality, cancer mortality and CVD mortality. Moreover, never married men had 31% and 9% higher excess risk of stroke mortality and all-cause mortality, respectively, compared with never married women. No sex differences were observed concerning the impact of any unmarried status on CHD mortality.
Conclusions
Being unmarried (widowed, divorced/separated or never married) conferred higher excess risk of stroke mortality and all-cause mortality for men than women. Moreover, divorced/separated men had significantly higher risk of cancer mortality and CVD mortality. Further studies are warranted to clarify the biological, behavioral, and/or social mechanisms involved in sex differences driving these associations.

Abstract
Objective: To develop a method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry to determine the urinary metabolites of benzene, toluene and xylene. The selected metabolites are S-phenylmercapturic acid (S-PMA) , trans, trans-muconic acid (t, t-MA) , 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) , hippuric acid (HA) , 2-methylhippuric acid (2-MHA) , 3-methylhippuric acid (3-MHA) and 4-methylhippuric acid (4-MHA) . Methods: The urine sample was pretreated using methanol to precipitate the proteins. HSS T3 chromatographic column was used to separate the metabolites. The mass spectrometric acquisition was carried out using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) after ionization with ESI source. External standard method was used for quantification. Results: All the standard curves showed good linear relation, and r of the seven metabolites was all above 0.999. The detection limits and quantitative limits of the seven metabolites were 0.01-500 ng/ml and 0.02-1 000 ng/ml (based on the actual dilution ratio) , respectively. The average spiked recoveries of four loadings ranged from 85.8% to 109.9%. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were 0.2%-4.5% and 0.6%-9.5%, respectively. The samples can be kept for at least 14 days at both 4 ℃ and -20 ℃. Conclusion: This method is simple, rapid and highly sensitive with low cost, and its accuracy, precision and stability can meet the daily test requirements. It can be applied for the determination of urinary S-PMA, t, t-MA, 8-OHdG, HA, 2-MHA, 3-MHA and 4-MHA for the occupational population exposed to benzene, toluene and xylene.

Abstract
This study determined the influence of shrinkage and viscosity of flowable composite liners on the cervical microleakage of Class II restorations using micro-CT. Seven composites of varying viscosities were selected and included five giomers (Shofu Beautifil II [BF], Flow Plus F00 and F03 [F00 and F03], Flow F02 and F10 [F02 and F10]) and 2 nano-filled composites (3M-ESPE Filtek Z350 [Z350] and Filtek Z350 Flowable [Z350F]). Polymerization shrinkage (n=7) was assessed with the Acuvol volumetric shrinkage analyzer while complex viscosity was determined with the advanced rheometric expansion system at 25°C. Standardized Class II restorations incorporating 1-mm horizontal layers of different flowable liners and 3-mm oblique layers of BF or Z350 were subjected to a silver nitrate test for 24 hours and examined using micro-CT. Microleakage was determined at 0.1-mm intervals from the buccal to lingual surfaces providing 30 sites per specimen and scored accordingly. Statistical analysis was performed with the one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman's rho correlation at a significance level of p<0.05. Mean volumetric shrinkage ranged from 5.33±0.17% to 2.35±0.02% for F02 to Z350, respectively. The flowable materials had significantly higher shrinkage than did their sculptable counterparts (BF and Z350). Complex viscosities ranged from 9.65 to 4.20 (Z350 and F10, respectively) at a frequency of 10 rad/s and from 8.16 to 3.28 (Z350 and F03, respectively) for 100 rad/s. Giomer restorations had significantly less leakage than did those restored with nano-filled composites. No microleakage was observed with restorations lined with F02 or F10. The use of flowable liners reduced cervical microleakage of Class II restorations. Interfacial integrity of Class II restorations was significantly correlated with liner viscosity, filler volume, and shrinkage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vitamin D status has been hypothesized to protect against development of early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) via its anti-inflammatory properties and its possible beneficial influence on blood pressure control. We investigated the association between vitamin D status and prevalent early AMD in a community-based cohort. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. SETTING This was a secondary data analysis of already existing data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC) cohort collected from 1990 to 1995. PARTICIPANTS There were 9,734 (7,779 Caucasians, 1,955 African American) ARIC participants (aged 46 to 70 at visit 2 [1990-1992]) with 25(OH)D data available at visit 2, AMD assessment at visit 3 (1993-1995), and complete covariate data. MEASUREMENTS Vitamin D status was assessed with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations from bloods drawn at visit 2. Prevalent, early AMD (n=511) was assessed at visit 3 (1993-95) with nonmydriatic retinal photographs of one randomly chosen eye. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for early AMD by categories of 25(OH)D in nmol/L (deficient <30, inadequate 30-<50, and two categories of adequate status: 50-<75 and ≥75). Linear trend was estimated using continuous 25(OH)D concentrations. ORs were adjusted for age, race, and smoking status. We further adjusted for hypertension status to examine if vitamin D status influenced early AMD via its effects on blood pressure. Exploratory analyses of effect modification by age, sex, race and high risk genotypes [Y402H complement factor H (CFH) rs1061170 and the A69S age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) rs10490924 polymorphisms] were conducted. RESULTS The prevalence of early AMD was 5%, and 5% of participants were vitamin D deficient. The adjusted OR (95% CIs) for early AMD among those with adequate (≥75 nmol/L) compared to deficient (<30 nmol/L) vitamin D status was 0.94 (0.59-1.50), p-trend=0.86. Further adjustment for hypertension status did not influence results (OR [95% CI]=0.95 [0.59-1.52], p-trend=0.84). Results did not vary significantly by age, race, sex, early AMD subtype (soft drusen or retinal pigment epithelium depigmentation), or ARMS2 genotype. Results did not vary significantly by CFH genotype in African Americans. The p for multiplicative interaction between 25(OH)D and CFH genotype was 0.06 in Caucasians, but OR [95% CIs] for AMD by vitamin D status were similar in each CFH genotype and not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D status was not associated with early AMD in this cohort sample.

Abstract
Objective:To explore the effect of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) on the formation of nasal polyps in mice and its mechanism.Method:Five or ten μg of LPS were dropped into the nasal cavities of six to eight-week C57BL/6J mice in order to establish animal models with nasal polyps.Buried food pellets experiment was used to assess olfactory function of mice.Hematoxylin-eosin staining,olfactory marker protein(OMP),and myeloperoxidase(MPO) for neutrophil immunohistochemistry were used to observe histopathological changes in the nasal mucosa.The expression levels of cytokines,such as interferon(IFN)-γ,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,IL-6 in the nasal lavage fluid,were detected by ELISA.Result:Compared to the control group,mice in the LPS groups showed significant nasal polyp formation,olfactory dysfunction,more MPO⁺ cells while less OMP⁺ cells in the nasal mucosa,as well as increased significantly levels of IFN-γ,TNF-α,and IL-6 in the nasal lavage fluids(all P<0.05).Conclusion:LPS from Gram negative bacteria alone can induce the formation of nasal polyps in mice,characterized by more neutrophils,olfactory dysfunction,and increasing Th1 cytokine.Therefore,this model is commensurate with the characteristics of primary nasal polyps found in China and other major Asian.The current study suggests that LPS may be one of the important pathogenesis of gram negative bacteria in the nasal polyps.
