Abstract
Background Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide and continues to disproportionately impact certain populations. Several frameworks have been developed that illustrate the multiple determinants of cancer. Expanding upon the work of others, we present an applied framework for cancer prevention and control designed to help clinicians, as well as public health practitioners and researchers, better address differences in cancer outcomes. Methods The framework was developed by the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network's Health Behaviors Workgroup. An initial framework draft was developed based on workgroup discussion, public health theory, and rapid literature review on the determinants of cancer. The framework was refined through interviews and focus groups with Federally Qualified Health Center providers (n=2) and cancer patients (n=2); participants were asked to provide feedback on the framework's causal pathways, completeness, and applicability to their work and personal life. Results The framework provides an overview of the relationships between sociodemographic inequalities, social and structural determinants, and key risk factors associated with cancer diagnosis, survivorship, and cancer morbidity and mortality across the lifespan. The framework emphasizes how health-risk behaviors like cigarette smoking interact with psychological, psychosocial, biological, and psychosocial risk factors, as well as healthcare-related behavior and other chronic diseases. Importantly, the framework emphasizes addressing social and structural determinants that influence health behaviors to reduce the burden of cancer and improve health equity. Aligned with previous theory, our framework underscores the importance of addressing co-occurring risk factors and disease states, understanding the complex relationships between factors that influence cancer, and assessing how multiple forms of inequality or disadvantage intersect to increase cancer risk across the lifespan. Conclusions This paper presents an applied framework for cancer prevention and control to address cancer differences. Because the framework highlights determinants and factors that influence cancer risk at multiple levels, it can be used to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of interventions to address cancer morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Long-term continuous imaging of endogenous HClO burst is of great importance for the elucidation of various physiological or pathological processes. However, most of the currently reported HClO probes have failed to achieve this goal due to their insufficient photobleaching resistance under a laser source. Herein, a highly stable ratiometric probe, HFTC-HClO 1, which is capable of continuously monitoring endogenous HClO burst over a long period of time, has been judiciously developed. Briefly, the de novo development of HFTC-HClO 1 mainly involved three main steps: (1) novel coumarins (HFTC 1-5) were designed and synthesized; (2) the most stable scaffold, HFTC 3, was selected through dye screening and cell imaging validation; and (3) based on HFTC 3, three candidate HClO probes were constructed, and HFTC-HClO 1 was finally selected due to its superior sensing properties toward HClO. Furthermore, HFTC-HClO 1 can quantitatively measure HClO levels in various real samples with excellent recovery (>90.4%), and the use of HFTC-HClO 1-coated test strips for qualitative analysis of HClO in real samples was also achieved. In addition, the application of HFTC-HClO 1 for long-term continuous monitoring of intracellular HClO burst was successfully demonstrated. Significantly, HFTC-HClO 1 was able to visualize HClO generated in the rheumatoid arthritis mouse model.

Abstract
This paper reported a case of acute severe nitrite poisoning with massive pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), discussed the pathogenesis and summarized the treatment experience. Common symptoms of nitrite poisoning include headache, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, cyanosis, etc., which can be followed by encephalopathy, neurological dysfunction, hemolysis, etc. However, the cases of PTE are rare in clinical practice and are prone to missed diagnosis. Nitrite and methemoglobin may lead to vascular endothelial damage and promote thrombosis. In the diagnosis and treatment of acute severe nitrite poisoning patients, the targeted preventive measures should be taken.

Abstract
With the development of mobile technology, mobile video games provide people with a more convenient way of entertainment, but problematic playing could also bring some negative consequences. Prior studies have indicated that Internet gaming addicts were accompanied by impaired inhibitory control. However, as a relatively new form of problematic game usage based on mobile devices, little is known about the neurobiological underpinnings of inhibitory control in problematic mobile video game (PMVG) users. Adopting an event-related fMRI Stroop task, the present study aimed to examine the different neural correlates of inhibitory control between PMVG and healthy control (HC) subjects. Compared with HC group, PMVG group showed greater brain activities in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during the Stroop process. Moreover, correlation analysis showed that brain activities extracted from the voxel in the DLPFC cluster had a significantly negative correlation with reward sensitivity. Our current findings may suggest the compensating effect in key brain regions of inhibitory control in problematic mobile video gamers relative to healthy controls.

Abstract
Rhodamines have emerged as a useful class of dye for bioimaging. However, intrinsic issues such as short emission wavelengths and small Stokes shifts limit their widespread applications in living systems. By taking advantage of the homoadamantane-fused tetrahydroquinoxaline (HFT) moiety as an electron donor, we developed a new class of asymmetric NIR rhodamine dyes, NNR1-7. These new dyes retained ideal photophysical properties from the classical rhodamine scaffold and showed large Stokes shifts (>80 nm) with improved chemo/photostability. We found that NNR1-7 specifically target cellular mitochondria with superior photobleaching resistance and improved tolerance for cell fixation compared to commercial mitochondria trackers. Based on NNR4, a novel NIR pH sensor (NNR4M) was also constructed and successfully applied for real-time monitoring of variations in lysosomal pH. We envision this design strategy would find broad applications in the development of highly stable NIR dyes with a large Stokes shift.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic decortication in treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis empyema. Methods: From January 2018 to December 2020, 122 cases of tuberculous empyema treated by decortication in Department of Surgery, Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 100 males and 22 females, aged(M(IQR)) 29.5(28.0) years (range: 13 to 70 years). According to the surgical approach and drug resistance, patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic decortication were included in group A (n=22), and those who underwent thoracotomy decortication were included in group B (n=28). Drug-sensitive patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic decortication were included in group C (n=72). There was no statistical difference in the baseline data of the three groups (P>0.05). The operation, early postoperative recovery, and prognosis-related indicators were compared among three groups by Kruskal-Wallis test and χ2 test by Mann-Whitney U test and Bonferroni method between groups A and B, groups A and C. Results: The intraoperative blood loss of group A, group B, and group C was 200(475) ml, 300(200) ml, and 225(300) ml, respectively. There was no significant difference in intraoperative hemorrhage (H=2.74, P=0.254) and treatment outcome (χ2=4.76, P=0.575) among the three groups. Compared with group B, the operation time of group A (302.5(187.5) minutes vs. 200.0(60.0) minutes, U=171.0, P=0.007) and postoperative pulmonary reexpansion duration (4.5(3.0) months vs. 3.0 (2.2) months, U=146.5, P=0.032) were longer, and the postoperative drainage duration (9.5(7.8) days vs. 13.0(10.0) days, U=410.0, P=0.044), and the postoperative hospitalization time (12.0(7.8) days vs. 14.5(4.8) days, U=462.2, P=0.020) were shorter. There was no significant difference in complications between group A and group B (63.6%(14/22) vs. 71.4%(20/28), χ2=0.34, P=0.558). Compared with group C, the postoperative drainage duration of group A (9.5(7.8) days vs. 7.0(4.0) days, U=543.5, P=0.031), the postoperative hospitalization time (12.0(7.8) days vs. 9.0(4.0) days, U=533.0, P=0.031) and postoperative pulmonary reexpansion duration (4.5(3.0) months vs. 3.0(2.0) months, U=961.5, P=0.001) were longer. The operation time (302.5(187.5) minutes vs. 242.5(188.8) minutes, U=670.5, P=0.278), and complications (63.6%(14/22) vs. 40.3%(29/72), χ2=3.70, P=0.054) were not different between group A and group C. Conclusions: For drug-resistant tuberculous empyema, the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic decortication can achieve the same good therapeutic effect as drug-sensitive tuberculous empyema, and it is as safe as thoracotomy. At the same time, it has the advantage of minimally invasive and can accelerate the early postoperative recovery of patients.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an important apoptotic-cell surface signal that exists in bacterial and cancer cells. The mechanism by which melittin interacts with the PS membrane remains unclear. Here, we revealed this mechanism by using a dual-channel fluorescence microscope to observe the concentration-dependent process of pore formation in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) that were exposed to melittin solution. We found that unsaturated PS membranes differed significantly from saturated PS membranes in different phases. This study provides a reference for research and development of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose a new method for mining complexes in dynamic protein network using spatiotemporal convolution neural network. METHODS The edge strength, node strength and edge existence probability are defined for modeling of the dynamic protein network. Based on the time series information and structure information on the graph, two convolution operators were designed using Hilbert-Huang transform, attention mechanism and residual connection technology to represent and learn the characteristics of the proteins in the network, and the dynamic protein network characteristic map was constructed. Finally, spectral clustering was used to identify the protein complexes. RESULTS The simulation results on several public biological datasets showed that the F value of the proposed algorithm exceeded 90% on DIP dataset and MIPS dataset. Compared with 4 other recognition algorithms (DPCMNE, GE-CFI, VGAE and NOCD), the proposed algorithm improved the recognition efficiency by 34.5%, 28.7%, 25.4% and 17.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION The application of deep learning technology can improve the efficiency in analysis of dynamic protein networks.

Abstract
The Bcl-2-associated athanogene (BAG) gene is a multi-functional family of co-chaperones regulator, modulating plant stress response. Our previous study revealed that the SlBAG9 of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) had the higher expression level induced by high-temperature (HT) at the transcriptional and protein levels, but its biological function was still unclear. Here, we conducted an in-depth analysis of SlBAG9. SlBAG9 protein was not located in the mitochondria but in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Many cis-acting elements involved in plant stress and hormone responses were located in the promoter regions of SlBAG9 including heat-shock element (HSE1). The β-glucuronidase (GUS) histochemical analysis showed that SlBAG9 promoter could drive GUS gene expression in transiently transformed Nicotiana tabacum leaves under non-inducing condition and HSE1 is critical for HT-induced GUS activity under HT. The transcription of SlBAG9 was expressed in different organs and was regulated by HT, cold, drought, and salt stresses as well as exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and H2O2. To further elucidate SlBAG9 function in response to HT, the transgenic tomato plants overexpressing SlBAG9 were developed. Compared to the wild-type plants, SlBAG9-overexpressing plants exhibited more sensitivity to HT stress, reflected by the burning symptoms, the degradation of chlorophyll, and the reduction of photosynthetic rates. Additionally, SlBAG9-overexpressing lines showed higher accumulation of lipid peroxidation production (MDA) and H2O2, but lower activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase. Therefore, it is speculated that SlBAG9 plays a negative role in thermotolerance probably by inhibition of antioxidant enzyme system leading to the oxidative damage, consequently aggravating the HT-caused injury phenotype.

Abstract
Elevated HClO gets involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Herein, a novel fluorescent probe NUU-1 was designed and synthesized. Distinct from the general strategies, NUU-1 features two distinct HClO reactive sites, a HClO-specific reaction site and a HClO-nonspecific reactive site, which in turn endows NUU-1 with the "0 + 1 > 1" amplification effect, that thus dramatically promotes the selectivity. NUU-1 displayed a fast response rate (within 15 s), remarkable fluorescence enhancement (about 538-fold), and excellent sensitivity (LOD = 25.8 nM) in response to HClO while the remaining fluorescence silence toward other common ROS (H2O2, •OH, ONOO-, O2•-, and 1O2) even at high concentrations (up to 0.5 mM). NUU-1 allows for the imaging of both exogenous and endogenous HClO in living dopaminergic cells (SH-SY5Y). Moreover, by employing NUU-1 as the probe, the image of HClO in C. elegans and zebrafish was successfully achieved. Significantly, in the first trial, NUU-1 was successfully utilized for the brain basal HClO imaging in PD mice models and distinguished PD brain tissues from normal control, thereby holding great potential for in-depth biological applications.

Abstract
Calmodulin-like (CML) proteins are primary calcium sensors and function in plant growth and response to stress stimuli. However, so far, the function of plant CML proteins, including tomato, is still unclear. Previously, it was found that a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) CML, here named SlCML39, was significantly induced by high temperature (HT) at transcription level, but its biological function is scarce. In this study, the characteristics of SlCML39 and its role in HT tolerance were studied. SlCML39 encodes a protein of 201 amino acids containing four EF hand motifs. Many cis-acting elements related to plant stress and hormone response appear in the promoter regions of SlCML39. SlCML39 is mainly expressed in the root, stem, and leaf and can be regulated by HT, cold, drought, and salt stresses as well as ABA and H2O2. Furthermore, heterologous overexpression of SlCML39 reduces HT tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana at the germination and seedling growth stages. To better understand the molecular mechanism of SlCML39, the downstream gene network regulated by SlCML39 under HT was analyzed by RNA-Seq. Interestingly, we found that many genes involved in stress responses as well as ABA signal pathway are down-regulated in the transgenic seedlings under HT stress, such as KIN1, RD29B, RD26, and MAP3K18. Collectively, these data indicate that SlCML39 acts as an important negative regulator in response to HT stress, which might be mediated by the ABA signal pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-21 on tibial fracture healing in rabbits by regulating the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway, and to explore its possible underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 15 healthy male rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, including: model group A (fracture group, n=5), model group B (fracture treatment group, n=5), and model group C (miR-21 siRNA + treatment group, n=5). Fracture healing was observed by imaging. The content of the serum collagen I and collagen II in rabbits was detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The morphology of bone tissues was observed via staining. Moreover, the expressions of ERK, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and Smad in osteoblasts of tibia were observed via Western blotting and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. RESULTS There was bony callus formation in group B and C when compared with group A. Compared with group B, bony callus formation was significantly accelerated in group C, while healing cycle was shortened. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson staining indicated that compared with group A, group C had more fibrous calluses, new capillaries, and fibroblasts in tissues. Meanwhile, group C exerted better maturity of collagen tissues and higher osteoid content at 20 d after modeling. Compared with group C, there were more osteoid tissues with poor maturity in group B. Meanwhile, intramembranous bone formation was deformed, and collagen content was remarkably lower in group B. The content of serum collagen I and collagen II remarkably increased in group B compared with group A (p<0.05). However, it was significantly upregulated in group C compared with group B, showing statistically significant differences (p<0.05). According to the results of Western blotting, the protein expressions of TGF-β1, Smad, and ERK in osteoblasts were significantly upregulated in group B when compared with those in group A (p<0.05). However, they increased remarkably in group C when compared with group B (p<0.05). Besides, RT-PCR results revealed that the messenger RNA (mRNA) expressions of TGF-β1, Smad, and ERK in osteoblasts were significantly higher in group B than those in group A (p<0.05). However, they were markedly raised in group C in comparison with group B (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Down-regulation of miR-21 promotes tibial fracture healing in rabbits by activating the ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association between maternal bisphenol A (BPA) exposure during pregnancy and neurobehavioral development in infant. Methods: Participants were from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort, which was established from October 2008 to October 2010 based on four municipal medical and health institutions in Ma'anshan. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was applied for the determination of serum BPA concentration in 1 783 pregnant women sampled at their first filing, and during 2.97 to 28.1 months age of the infants. Neurobehavioral development were assessed by 0-6-year-old pediatric examination table of neuropsychological development. Generalized linear model was used to analyze the association between serum BPA levels during pregnancy and infants' neurobehavioral development. Results: A total of 931 mother-child pairs had complete data on serum BPA detection during pregnancy and assessment of infants' neurobehavioral development status. The age of pregnant women at their first filing was (26.67±3.45) years old, and the M (P25,P75) of serum BPA concentration (ng/ml) was 0.23 (0.11, 0.52), with a detection rate of 84.1% (783/931). The age of infants was (13.18±5.46) months, and 53.5% (498) were boys. The developmental quotient scores of large motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language ability and social behaviors of infants were (97.88±16.32), (97.16±15.35), (99.64±15.47), (95.3±16.04) and (98.95±14.76) points, respectively. Generalized linear model showed that after adjusting for factors such as delivery mode, feeding mode, family per capita monthly income, preterm delivery, gender, maternal age, residence, pre-pregnancy body mass index and residence time, serum BPA level in pregnancy was negatively associated with infant's development of social behavior [β (95%CI):-2.42 (-4.71, -0.12)]. The post-stratification analysis by infant age revealed that the serum BPA level in pregnancy was only negatively associated with the development of language and social behavior developmental quotient scores in infants between the ages of 12 and 18 months, with β (95%CI) about -6.66 (-13.06, -0.25) and -7.401 (-12.97, -1.83), respectively. Conclusion: BPA exposure during pregnancy affects language and social behavior development in infants, and the detection window is between 12 and 18 months old of the infant.

Abstract
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most common infection among hospitalized patients, associated with increased levels of morbidity, mortality and attributable health care costs. Increased resistant Pseudomonas worldwide has been quite meaningful to patients, especially in intensive care unit (ICUs). Different species of Pseudomonas exhibit different genetic profile and varied drug resistance. The present study determines the molecular epidemiology through DNA fingerprinting method and drug resistance of P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with LTRIs admitted in ICU. A total of 79 P. aeruginosa isolated from patients with LRTIs admitted in ICU were characterized by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Repetitive Extrapalindromic PCR (REP-PCR). Antibiotic resistance was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay while MDR genes, viz, blaTEM, blaOXA, blaVIM, blaCTX-M-15 were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of the 137 Pseudomonas sp isolated from ICU patients, 57.7% of the isolates were reported to be P. aeruginosa. The overall prevalence of P. aeruginosa among the all included patients was 34.5%. The RAPD analysis yielded 45 different patterns with 72 clusters with 57% to 100% similarity level. The RFLP analysis yielded 8 different patterns with 14 clusters with 76% to 100% similarity level. The REP PCR analysis yielded 37 different patterns with 65 clusters with 56% to 100% similarity level. There was no correlation among the different DNA patterns observed between the three different methods. Predominant of the isolates (46.8%) were resistant to amikacin. Of the 79 isolates, 60.8% were positive for blaTEM gene and 39.2% were positive for blaOXA gene. P. aeruginosa was predominantly isolated from patients with LRTIs admitted in ICU. The difference in the similarity level observed between the three DNA fingerprinting methods indicates that there is high inter-strain variability. The high genetic variability and resistance patterns indicates that we should continuously monitor the trend in the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of P. aeruginosa especially in patients with LRTIs admitted in ICU.

Abstract
By taking advantage of phenothiazine moiety as an electron-donating group, a novel donor-acceptor (D-A) type coumarin dye, PTZ-Et, was developed. The introduction of phenothiazine moiety not only caused emission red-shifting and Stokes shift enlarging, but also endowed PTZ-Et with significant aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) features, thereby enabled PTZ-Et as a robust ratiometric fluorescent probe for HClO detection. Upon oxidation of the sulfur atom on phenothiazine into sulfoxide, PTZ-Et displayed remarkable ratiometric fluorescence response (over 150 folds variations of F534/F626) toward HClO with rapid response time (<30 s) and ultra-sensitivity (LOD = 15 nM). Additionally, the corresponding sensing mechanism of PTZ-Et for HClO was fully elucidated through the successful purification and well characterization (1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS, and single crystal data) of the corresponding reaction product between PTZ-Et and HClO. Significantly, PTZ-Et was capable of monitoring both exogenous and endogenous HClO in living RAW 264.7 cells by ratiometric fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Swallowing disorder is a health burden for the elderly in China. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of dysphagia and to test the association between skeletal muscle strength and swallowing problems among community-dwelling older adults. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Community-dwelling Chinese elderly in China. PARTICIPANTS 3361 adults aged 65 years or above were involved, among which 1740 (51.8%) were female, with average age of 72.64 (Standard deviation, SD=6.10) years old. MEASUREMENTS Handgrip strength (HGS) was used to evaluate skeletal muscle strength. Dysphagia assessment was performed using the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10) and the 30mL water swallow test (WST). Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the relationship between skeletal muscle strength and dysphagia, and covariates as age, gender, material status, etc. were adjusted. RESULTS The prevalence of dysphagia were 5.5% and 12.9%, screened by EAT-10 and 30mL WST respectively. Participants with dysphagia showed lower HGS (21.73 ± 9.20 vs. 25.66 ± 11.32, p<0.001, by EAT-10; 20.26 ± 9.88 vs. 26.22 ± 11.28, p<0.001, by WST). The adjusted model suggested that muscle strength is a protective factor for swallowing disorders (adjusted OR=0.974, 95%CI: 0.950-0.999, by EAT-10; adjusted OR=0.952, 95%CI: 0.933-0.972, by WST). Subgroup analyses of WST found the effects were significant among participants aged in 70-74 years group and ≥75 years group, rather than those aged under 70. CONCLUSION Dysphagia was significantly associated with skeletal muscle strength among the community-dwelling elderly population. Effective interventions should be taken to manage the decline of muscle strength for the older adults, especially early prevention before 70 years old.

Abstract
Facile synthesis of high quality gold nanorods (AuNRs) with a tunable size is of great value for applications of AuNRs in various fields and for the study of the growth mechanism of such anisotropic nanostructures. However, limitations usually exist in a specific synthetic protocol. In this work, using 3-aminophenol as the reducing agent, we present a AuNR synthetic strategy with an excellent comprehensive performance, which includes an exceptional monodispersity, a AuNR shape purity of around 99%, a conversion ratio of the gold precursor of about 91%, and an easily tuned longitudinal surface plasmon resonance wavelength ranging from 580 to ∼1050 nm. Studies on the impacts of the experimental parameters including silver ions, gold seeds, reducing agent, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) revealed a profound recognition of the significant effect of the reductive atmosphere, in synergy with other parameters, in directing the growth and structural evolution of the gold seeds, thus deeply affecting the size, shape yield, monodispersity, and morphology of the final structure. These results could be immensely useful for the application and revelation of the growth mechanism of AuNRs.

Abstract
Defluorinative C(sp3 )-P bond formation of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes with phosphine oxides or phosphonates have been achieved under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions, giving phosphorylation gem-difluoroalkenes as products. α-Trifluoromethyl alkenes bearing various of aryl substituents such as halogen, cyano, ester and heterocyclic groups are available in this transformation. The results of control experiments demonstrated that the mechanism of dehydrogenative/defluorinative cross-coupling reactions was not a radical route, but might be an SN 2' process involving phosphine oxide anion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ten healthy adult Huang-huai white goats were selected and sacrificed by jugular vein bleeding after anaesthesia to observe the distribution characteristics of the histological structure of the intestinal mucosa, goblet cells, IgA, and CD3+ lymphocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three sections of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum were immediately collected and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 72 h to prepare tissue sections. After haematoxylin and eosin, periodic acid Schiff, and immunohistochemical staining was performed, the distribution characteristics of goblet cells, IgA-positive cells, and CD3+ lymphocytes were observed. Results showed high columnar epithelial cells in the duodenum and jejunum of Huang-huai white goat and low columnar epithelial cells in the ileum mucosa. RESULTS Mucopolysaccharides secreted by intestinal goblet cells were mainly neutral, and the number of ileum goblet cells was significantly higher than that of the duodenum and the jejunum (p < 0.05). IgA-positive cells were distributed in the lamina propria of the duodenum, and the number of cells was significantly higher than that in the jejunum and the ileum (p < 0.01). The significant difference was found between the jejunum and the ileum (p < 0.01). The CD3+ cells in the intestinal mucosa were distributed in the lamina propria mucosae, and some of the positive cells in the jejunum were distributed between epithelial cells. CD3+ cells had the largest number in the jejunal lamina propria but had the lowest number in the ileum. CONCLUSIONS The jejunum was significantly higher than the duodenum (p < 0.05), and the ileum was much less than the jejunum (p < 0.01).

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a critical endogenous signaling molecule, is widely involved in many physiological processes. Endoplasmic reticulum, an important organelle with a sac-like structure, plays crucial roles in maintaining the normal function of cells. Accordingly, monitoring the H2S levels in endoplasmic reticulum is of great importance. Herein, we have developed an endoplasmic reticulum-targetable fluorescent probe, ER-CN, for H2S detection. ER-CN features excellent sensing properties, such as high sensitivity and selectivity. In addition, ER-CN exhibits low cytotoxicity and a fine endoplasmic reticulum targeting property (with a Pearson's colocalization coefficient of 0.95). Significantly, visualization of H2S in the endoplasmic reticulum of living HeLa cells by using ER-CN was successfully realized.

Abstract
A lysosome-specific fluorescent probe, Lyso-AC, for biothiols was developed by incorporation of a 4-nitrophenol moiety into a coumarin dye. The Cys/Hcy-triggered substitution-rearrangement cascade, and GSH-induced substitution reaction lead to the corresponding blue emissive amino-coumarin and yellow emissive thiol-coumarin, thereby enabling Cys/Hcy and GSH detection from distinct emissions. Moreover, this probe displayed an excellent lysosome targeting property with a 0.92 Pearson's colocalization coefficient by using Neutral Red as a reference. Significantly, biological experiments indicated Lyso-AC has the potential to monitor lysosome Cys/Hcy and GSH simultaneously in living HeLa cells from distinct emissions. A novel lysosome targetable fluorescent probe, Lyso-AC, that can selectively sense lysosome Cys/Hcy and GSH from different emission channels was developed.![]()

Abstract
Biothiols, a vital branch of reactive sulfur species (RSS) family, are indispensable in human physiology. However, the exact functional roles of each biothiol involved in complicated physiological activities are still not fully clarified. A critical barrier is a lack of robust molecular tools which can simultaneously visualize different biothiols with distinct emission signals. Herein, the first lysosome-targetable fluorescent probe, Lyso-RC, which could respond to Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S with different sets of signal patterns was developed. Lyso-RC responds to Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S with the fluorescence signal patterns of blue-red, green-red, and red, respectively. Significantly, Lyso-RC is capable of discriminating lysosomal Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association between maternal bisphenol A exposure during early pregnancy and sleep problems among preschool children. Methods: Research subjects were from one of the sub-cohorts(Ma'anshan Cohort) of the China-Anhui Birth Cohort Study (C-ABCS) in Ma'anshan city. The basic situation of pregnant women and sleep information of preschool children were investigated. We selected preschool children whose mother's maternal serum bisphenol A concentrations of the first trimester had been already detected between December 2012 to Januray 2014. 1 259 pairs of mothers and children were included. The concentrations of bisphenol A exposure during early pregnancy were divided into low, medium and high exposure groups according to 25(th) percentile (P(25)) and 75(th) percentile (P(75)) levels. Multivariate multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between maternal bisphenol A exposure during early pregnancy and sleep-related problems in preschool children. Results: The P(50) (P(25)-P(75)) of serum bisphenol A exposure level during early pregnancy was 0.231 (0.106-0.512) ng/ml. The sleep-related problems scores of 1 259 preschool children were (16.43±3.82) points. The occasional sleep-related problems were detected about 47.8% (602 cases) and frequent sleep-related problems were detected about 18.3% (230 cases). After the adjustment of the confounding factors such as children's gender, age, BMI, sleep position (lying down, sleeping on one's back), the length of time to sleep and the length of sleep at night, in comparison with bisphenol A low exposure group, the OR (95%CI) value of preschool children with occasional sleep-related problems in maternal bisphenol A high exposure group during early pregnancy was 1.44 (1.01-2.06). After the gender stratification, the results showed that in comparison with bisphenol A low exposure group, the OR (95%CI) value of preschool girls with occasional sleep-related problems in maternal bisphenol A medium and high exposure group during early pregnancy were 1.61 (1.05-2.46) and 2.40 (1.42-4.04), respectively. The OR (95%CI) value of preschool girls with frequent sleep-related problems in maternal bisphenol A high exposure group during early pregnancy was 2.64 (1.34-5.17). However, in boys, there was no statistically significant association between maternal bisphenol A exposure during early pregnancy and sleep-related problems (P>0.05). Conclusion: Maternal bisphenol A exposure during early pregnancy might be related to sleep-related problems in preschool children.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between the internal exposure levels of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and executive function (EF) of preschool children. Methods: Between October 2008 and October 2010, pregnant women who accepted pregnancy health care services in four municipal medical and health institutions in Ma'anshan city, Anhui Province, were recruited as study objects. A total of 5 084 pregnant women and 4 669 singleton live births were enrolled in this cohort. The follow-up study was conducted from April 2014 to April 2015. A total of 3 725 data-completed preschool children aged 3 to 6 years older entered in this study. The method of analysis seven metabolites of phthalates in urine was high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and divided objects into low (P(0)-P(24)), medium (P(25)-P(74)) and high (P(75)-P(100)) groups according to their exposure concentrations. To investigate the executive function of preschool children, we used the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P). Univariate and multivariate statistical method was used to analyze the etiology association between the phthalate metabolites levels and preschool children's executive function. Results: In this study, 53.6% (1 997/3 725) of preschoolers were boys, children's age was (51.5±5.6) months. The detection rates of seven phthalate esters were: mono-n-methyl phthalate (MMP) was 99.89% (3 721/3 725); mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP) was 99.97% (3 724/3 725); mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP) was 69.10% (2 574/3 725); mono-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP) and mono- (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP) were 100.00% and mono-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) was 99.95% (3 723/3 725). The median concentrations of the seven phthalate metabolites were: 17.71, 15.36, 0.07, 155.24, 10.73, 14.67, 3.59 µg/L, respectively. The median concentrations corrected by urinary creatinine were 29.65, 26.65, 0.12, 257.73, 17.94, 24.80, 6.27 µg/g Cr, respectively. The P(25) and P(7)5 concentration of the total PAEs metabolites corrected by urinary creatinine were 1.20 µmol/g Cr and 3.04 µmol/g Cr. After adjusted the relevant demographic information: children sex, children age in month, maternal age, parental education levels, household exposure to secondhand smoke and whether the child is the only child as confounds, multivariate logistic regression model showed that the risk of inhibitory self-control index (ISCI) dysplasia in MEHHP high concentration group and MEOHP high concentration group were 1.71 and 1.54 times (OR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.11-2.62; OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.01-2.34) than in low concentration group. The risk of ISCI dysplasia in total PAEs metabolites high concentration group was 1.55 times (OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.00-2.38) than in low concentration group. Conclusion: Phthalates exposure may damage the executive function of preschool children.

Abstract
Liver biopsy is not routinely performed in treated chronic hepatitis B. Liver stiffness measurement has been validated for noninvasive liver fibrosis assessment in pretreatment chronic hepatitis B but has not been assessed for fibrosis monitoring during antiviral therapy. Liver stiffness was systemically monitored by Fibroscan® every 6 months in a cohort of patients with hepatitis B receiving antiviral therapy and compared with liver biopsies at baseline and week 104. A total of 534 hepatitis B e antigen-positive treatment-naive patients receiving telbivudine-based therapy with qualified liver stiffness measurement at baseline and week 104 were analyzed, 164 of which had adequate paired liver biopsies. Liver stiffness decreased rapidly (-2.2 kPa/24 weeks) in parallel with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) from 8.6 (2.6-49.5) kPa at baseline to 6.1 (2.2-37.4) kPa at week 24. Interestingly, liver stiffness decreased slowly (-0.3 kPa/24 weeks) but continually from week 24 to week 104 (6.1 vs 5.3 kPa, P < .001) while ALT levels remained stable within the normal range. More importantly, liver stiffness declined significantly irrespective of baseline ALT levels and liver necroinflammation grades. From baseline to week 104, the proportion of patients with no or mild fibrosis (Ishak, 0-2) increased from 74.4% (122/164) to 93.9% (154/164). Multivariate analysis revealed that percentage decline of 52-week liver stiffness from baseline was independently associated with 104-week liver fibrosis regression (odds ratio, 3.742; P = .016). Early decline of 52-week liver stiffness from baseline may reflect the remission of both liver inflammation and fibrosis and was predictive of 104-week fibrosis regression in treated patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the surgical treatment and its effectiveness of odontoid fracture complicated with atlantoaxial dislocation in children with spinal cord injury. Methods: From January 2010 to December 2014, 10 cases of children under 14 years old, with intractable odontoid fracture with atlantoaxial dislocation were enrolled. The mean duration between injury and admission was 8.5 d (range 1-30 d). The surgery was performed using posterior reduction and internal fixation or anterior release combined with posterior fixation. The medical date including preoperative and postoperative neurological function, degree of reduction and fusion. Results: All cases were followed-up for 12-48 months. The last follow-up X ray and CT examinations showed good reduction and fusion. No fixation failure was observed among all the patients. According to the Frankel, the preoperative neurological function was C in 2 cases, D in 4 cases, and E in 4 cases. At the last follow-up, out of 2 cases with Frankel C improved to D, and the other 8 cases were back to normal. Conclusions: Diagnosis of odontoid fracture complicated with atlantoaxial dislocation is usually delayed in children. One-stage posterior reduction and internal fixation or anterior release combined with posterior fixation is an effective and safe surgical procedure for such cases.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Survivorship care plans (SCPs) are strongly recommended for all breast cancer survivors to address sequelae of cancer care, plan cancer surveillance and screening, and encourage health promotion and care coordination. Ongoing studies are evaluating the impact of SCPs in cancer survivor populations and the role of survivorship visits (SVs) as an intervention. Here we describe characteristics and outcomes of patients who participated in SVs at Johns Hopkins (JH).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who participated in a SV with one of two nurse practitioners ˜1-3 months after completion of locoregional therapy and initial systemic therapy, as referred by their JH breast cancer provider. We collected patient demographics, comorbidity status, tumor characteristics, treatments received, and responses to GAD7 (generalized anxiety disorder 7-item), PHQ9 (patient health questionnaire-9), and a symptom questionnaire. Characteristics of SV participants were compared to analytical breast cancer cases from the JH Cancer Registry (JHCR 2010-2015), matched for stage.
Results: 87 women (stages I-III) who participated in a SV in 2010-2016 were identified. Compared to patients in the JHCR (n=2,942), the SV cohort was younger (age ≤50, 43% v 34%, p=0.14), more likely to be African American (33% v 22%, p=0.04), and more likely to have a higher TNM stage (I, 26% v 49%; II, 48% v 37%; III, 25% v 15%, p<0.001), node-positive status (60% v 33%, p<0.001), hormone receptor-negative disease (44% v 18%, p<0.001), and HER2-positive disease (38% v 14%, p<0.001). The SV cohort was also more likely to receive chemotherapy (94% v 43%, p<0.001) and undergo radiation therapy (78% v 54%, p<0.001). The SV cohort had a higher recurrence event rate than the JHCR cohort (11.5% v 8.0%) and a shorter median follow-up (886 v 1292 days), suggestive of a higher risk profile. In the SV cohort, a comparison of comorbidities at breast cancer diagnosis versus time of SV visit identified a significant increase in the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy (9% v 73%, p<.001), anemia (15% v 50%, p<.001), lymphedema (0% v 28%, p<.001), anxiety (15% v 38%, p<.001), and depression (13% v 29%, p<.001). Patients in the SV cohort were overweight at diagnosis (body mass index, median 29 [IQR 24, 32]). At the time of the SV, patients reported symptoms of sleep difficulty (53%), numbness or tingling (46%), weight changes (45%), muscle aches (44%), and pain (37%).
Conclusions: Patients who participated in SVs had high-risk cancers and, compared to baseline, a higher frequency of comorbidities that are potentially associated with breast cancer and its treatment. These data can inform future breast cancer survivorship care models as they describe a population that may be at greater risk for worse cancer and non-cancer outcomes, and that might benefit more from interventions like SCPs and SVs. Ongoing studies are identifying optimal target populations, appropriate timing of such interventions, and informative measures of patient-centered outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether isolated maternal hypothyroxinaemia (IMH) is associated with risks of small/large-for-gestational-age (SGA/LGA) infants. DESIGN Population-based prospective cohort study. SETTING Ma'anshan Maternal and Child Health (MCH) clinics, China. POPULATION Pregnant women with singleton births (n = 3178). METHODS Descriptive statistics were calculated for the demographic characteristics of the mothers and their newborns. Linear regression was applied to estimate the association between thyroid hormone levels and birthweight. Logistic regression was performed to calculate the association between IMH and SGA/LGA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Outcomes included SGA/LGA. RESULTS The prevalence of IMH, defined as a free thyroxine value (FT4) lower than the 2.5th percentile with normal thyroid stimulating hormone, was 2.5% (78/3080) and 2.5% (74/2999) in the first and second trimesters, respectively. Additionally, 306 (9.6%) and 524 (16.5%) infants were defined as SGA and LGA, respectively. No evidence supported the notion that IMH is associated with an increased risk for SGA in either the first [odds ratio (OR): 1.762, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.759-4.089] or the second (OR: 0.763, 95% CI: 0.231-2.516) trimester. However, an increased risk of LGA was observed among IMH women in the second trimester (OR: 2.088, 95% CI: 1.193-3.654). Maternal TPO-Ab positivity in the second trimester increased the risk of SGA (OR: 2.094, 95% CI: 1.333-3.290). CONCLUSION This study provides evidence that IMH is associated with LGA. FUNDING This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 81330068). TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Isolated maternal hypothyroxinaemia may increase the risk of large-for-gestational-age infants.

Abstract
Abdominal obesity is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett's esophagus (BE). Increased body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) have been associated with BE. Abdominal diameter index (ADI, sagittal abdominal diameter divided by thigh circumference) was previously shown to be a more accurate predictor of incident cardiovascular disease compared to other measurements. Our aim is to examine whether abdominal diameter index was a more accurate predictor of prevalent BE compared to other anthropometric measurements. We conducted a case-control study of patients presenting to our institution. Our study population was consecutive Caucasian men with a known history of BE, and we recruited control patients who had GERD without BE. Both groups completed a questionnaire about demographics, smoking, and medications and underwent a series of anthropometric body measurements using standardized measuring tools. BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and abdominal diameter index were calculated. Thirty-one BE patients and 27 control patients were recruited. The BE cohort were older and had a higher rate of hiatal hernia. The mean abdominal diameter index for patients with BE was 0.65 ± 0.07 and without BE was 0.60 ± 0.07 (p = 0.01). The predictive value of abdominal diameter index was analyzed using a receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve and was a more powerful predictor of BE than waist-to-hip ratio or BMI (AUROC = 0.70 vs. 0.60 vs. 0.52, respectively). Using a cut-point abdominal diameter index value of 0.60, abdominal diameter index had a sensitivity of 77.4% and a specificity of 63.0% for the presence of BE. When controlling for age, smoking status, and BMI, an abdominal diameter index ≥0.60 was a significant independent risk factor for BE (OR = 5.7, 95% CI = 1.29-25.4). In this pilot study, the abdominal diameter index appears to be a more powerful predictor of the presence of BE than BMI and waist-to-hip ratio and remained the only significant predictor of BE in multivariate analysis. We propose further validation of abdominal diameter index before inclusion in future prediction tools for BE.
