Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori), a gastric bacterium, has been extensively studied for its association with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. However, recent evidence suggests its potential implications beyond the stomach, linking it to other gastrointestinal malignancies, such as esophageal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, and colorectal cancer. In light of the expanding research landscape and the increasing interest in exploring H pylori broader role in gastrointestinal tumorigenesis, this comprehensive review aims to elucidate the relationship between H pylori and gastrointestinal tumors. This review encompasses recent epidemiological studies, research progress, and emerging perspectives, providing a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between H pylori and gastrointestinal tumors. The findings highlight the captivating world of H pylori and its intricate involvement in gastrointestinal malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic bronchitis (or) emphysema with a high disability and fatality rate. This study aimed to explore the correlation between the six selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the risk of COPD in the Chinese population. METHODS The Agena MassARRAY platform was used to select six SNPs from 629 subjects for genotyping. The correlation between SNPs and COPD risk was evaluated using calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was performed to analyze the impact of SNP interactions on COPD risk. Multiple comparisons were performed using Bonferroni- correction. RESULTS Our results indicated that rs4719841 and rs7934083 variants were associated with a reduced risk of COPD. The analysis results of age, gender and non-smokers showed that rs4719841 and rs7934083 were associated with reducing the risk of COPD. In addition, the results showed that the genetic models of rs4719841, rs7934083 and rs7780562 were related to the forced vital capacity, respiratory rate per second, and respiratory rate / forced vital capacity of COPD patients, respectively. The results of the MDR analysis showed that the three-locus model (rs4719841, rs7934083, and rs78750958) is the best for COPD risk assessment. CONCLUSION This study shows that rs4719841 and rs7934083 are associated with the risk of COPD in the Chinese population, which provides some insights for early screening, prevention, and diagnosis of COPD in high-risk populations.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) over 5 years post-drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation based on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients with DES-ISR who underwent OCT examination at PLA General Hospital between March 2010 and March 2022 were retrospectively included. All patients were divided into≤5 years DES-ISR group and>5 years DES-ISR group according to the time interval after DES implantation. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted on OCT images to compare the clinical data and lesion characteristics of two patient groups. Furthermore, the independent clinical predictive factors of in-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA) were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression. Results: A total of 230 DES-ISR patients with 249 lesions were included, with an age of (63.1±10.4) years and 188 males (81.7%). The median interval after DES implantation was 6 (2, 9) years. There were 117 patients (122 ISR lesions) in the≤5 years DES-ISR group, and 113 patients (127 ISR lesions) in the>5 years DES-ISR group. Compared with≤5 years DES-ISR,>5 years DES-ISR showed more heterogeneous patterns (65.4% (83/127) vs. 48.4% (59/122), P=0.007), diffuse patterns (46.5% (59/127) vs. 31.2% (38/122), P=0.013), macrophage accumulations (44.1% (56/127) vs. 31.2% (38/122), P=0.035) in NIH and higher prevalence of ISNA (83.5% (106/127) vs. 72.1% (88/122), P=0.031). According to multivariable logistic regression, the independent predictive factor for ISNA was female (OR=0.44, 95%CI 0.21-0.90, P=0.026). Female (OR=0.48, 95%CI 0.23-0.99, P=0.046) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (OR=1.62, 95%CI 1.01-2.59, P=0.046) were independent predictive factors, respectively, for lipid ISNA. Calcified ISNA was independently associated with time interval of post-DES implantation (OR=1.18, 95%CI 1.07-1.29, P=0.001). Conclusion: DES-ISR patients with a time interval of>5 years after stent implantation have a higher prevalence of ISNA and more complex lesions. Gender, the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the time interval post-DES implantation are independently correlated with ISNA, lipid ISNA, and calcified ISNA.

Abstract
Past studies have shown that the Gelsolin-like actin-capping protein (CAPG) regulates cell migration and proliferation and is strongly associated with tumor progression. We present the first study of the mechanism of action of CAPG in early gastric cancer (EGC). We demonstrate that CAPG expression is upregulated in gastric cancer (GC) especially EGC. CAPG promotes GC proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis in vivo and in vitro. More importantly, CAPG plays a role in GC by involving the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Our findings suggest that CAPG may function as a novel biomarker for EGC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated whether interictal epileptiform discharge (IED) rate and morphological characteristics predict seizure risk. METHODS We evaluated 10 features from automatically detectable IEDs in a stereotyped population with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS). We tested whether the average value or the most extreme values from each feature predicted future seizure risk in cross-sectional and longitudinal models. RESULTS 10,748 individual centrotemporal IEDs were analyzed from 59 subjects at 81 timepoints. In cross-sectional models, increases in average spike height, spike duration, slow wave rising slope, slow wave falling slope, and the most extreme values of slow wave rising slope each improved prediction of an increased risk of a future seizure compared to a model with age alone (p < 0.05, each). In longitudinal model, spike rising height improved prediction of future seizure risk compared to a model with age alone (p = 0.04) CONCLUSIONS: Spike height improves prediction of future seizure risk in SeLECTS. Several other morphological features may also improve prediction and should be explored in larger studies. SIGNIFICANCE Discovery of a relationship between novel IED features and seizure risk may improve clinical prognostication, visual and automated IED detection strategies, and provide insights into the underlying neuronal mechanisms that contribute to IED pathology.

Abstract
Background Due to the limited diagnostic ability, the low detection rate of early gastric cancer (EGC) is a serious health threat. The establishment of the mapping between endoscopic images and pathological images can rapidly improve the diagnostic ability to detect EGC. To expedite the learning process of EGC diagnosis, a mucosal recovery map for the mapping between ESD mucosa specimen and pathological images should be performed in collaboration with endoscopists and pathologists, which is a time-consuming and laborious work. Methods 20 patients at the Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Affiliated People's Hospital of Hangzhou Medical College from March 2020 to July 2020 were enrolled in this study. We proposed the improved U-Net to obtain WSI-level segmentation results, and the WSI-level results can be mapped to the macroscopic image of the specimen. For the convenient use, a software pipeline named as "Pathology Helper" for integration the workflow of the construction of mucosal recovery maps was developed. Results The MIoU and Dice of our model can achieve 0.955 ± 0.0936 and 0.961 ± 0.0874 for WSI-level segmentation, respectively. With the help of "Pathology Helper", we can construct the high-quality mucosal recovery maps to reduce the workload of endoscopists and pathologists. Conclusion "Pathology Helper" will accelerate the learning of endoscopists and pathologists, and rapidly improve their abilities to detect EGC. Our work can also improve the detection rate of early gastric cancer, so that more patients with gastric cancer will be treated in a timely manner.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Pulmonary specimens following COVID-19 virus infection demonstrate a spectrum of pulmonary histomorphology. Six patients with a history of COVID-19 infection are summarized in this review. The purpose of our study is to elucidate any possible correlations between clinical, laboratory, radiographic, and pathologic findings in COVID-19 patients. Further, we aim to characterize both non-specific and specific histomorphology and cytomorphology in COVID-19 patients.
Methods/Case Report
Six patients with known COVID-19 infection and lung biopsies/resections are identified. A chart review is performed to collect clinical histories, the results of COVID-19 PCR testing, radiographic impressions, pathologic interpretations of histology, and clinical outcomes. Information is summarized and tabulated.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
The most common, non-specific histological findings are focal/diffuse acute lung injury, organizing lung injury, or a combination of both patterns. Unique features of COVID-19 infection are identified in three cases, which illustrate viral cytopathic changes within hyperplastic pneumocytes. These include basophilic, vacuolated, granular cytoplasm and variably sized cytoplasmic/nuclear inclusions. Virus-loaded pneumocytes are typically identified in the organizing phase, and rarely in the acute lung injury phase. Immunohistochemical staining of anti-nuclear capsule antibody with appropriate controls shows focal positive staining in one case. SARS-CoV-2 PCR is positive in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, while a serum PCR assay is negative.
Conclusion
The severity of clinical symptoms and clinical outcome are unrelated to the degree of lung involvement. Viral cytopathic changes are identified in three cases, with these specific findings associated with the organizing phase of lung injury, and either concurrent PCR positivity or positive immunohistochemical staining.

Abstract
The increased prevalence of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) in children and adolescents has drawn considerable attention as it may interfere with mandibular condyle growth, resulting in dento-maxillofacial deformities. However, treatments for osteoarthritis have been ineffective at restoring the damaged bone and cartilage structures due to poor understanding of the underlying degenerative mechanism. In this study, we demonstrate that Gli1+ cells residing in the subchondral bone contribute to bone formation and homeostasis in the mandibular condyle, identifying them as osteogenic progenitors in vivo. Furthermore, we show that, in a TMJOA mouse model, derivatives of Gli1+ cells undergo excessive expansion along with increased but uneven distribution of osteogenic differentiation in the subchondral bone, which leads to abnormal subchondral bone remodeling via Hedgehog (Hh) signaling activation and to the development of TMJOA. The selective pharmacological inhibition and specific genetic inhibition of Hh signaling in Gli1+ osteogenic progenitors result in improved subchondral bone microstructure, attenuated local immune inflammatory response in the subchondral bone, and reduced degeneration of the articular cartilage, providing in vivo functional evidence that targeting Hh signaling in Gli1+ osteogenic progenitors can modulate bone homeostasis in osteoarthritis and provide a potential approach for treating TMJOA.

Abstract
Background Poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma (PDGA) is a common adenocarcinoma with less glandular structure in gastric cancer. To date, the factors affecting its prognosis remain unclear. In this study, we establish a novel prognostic nomogram for PDGA. Methods We screened the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and downloaded data from PDGA patients who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2015. We explored their clinicopathological characteristics and important prognostic factors such as overall survival (OS), using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses, then constructed a prognostic nomogram using the resulting significant variables to predict the OS. We verified performance of the nomogram externally using a separate Chinese set, and further compared its ability as well as the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system to predict prognosis. Results A total of 3,887 patients in the SEER database met our inclusion criteria and were therefore included in the analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that age, sex, tumor size, prime site of tumor, T stage, N stage, and M stage were all independent prognostic factors for PDGA. These factors allowed successful establishment of a nomogram model with high predictive power, based on external verification using a Chinese set comprising 632 PDGA patients. The nomogram showed a better discrimination advantage than the 8th edition of the AJCC staging system in predicting OS (C-index of nomogram vs. AJCC staging for SEER set: 0.707 vs. 0.663; Chinese set: 0.788 vs. 0.713). Conclusions The nomogram, established herein, was more accurate in predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of PDGA patients than the traditional AJCC TNA staging system. Successful establishment of a PDGA prognostic nomogram is a further step towards individualized and precise treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has developed different methods, such as pocket method (P-ESD), traction-assisted method (T-ESD), and hybrid method (H-ESD). In this meta-analysis, the benefits and drawbacks of different ESD methods were discussed and ranked. STUDY DESIGN Studies comparing different methods of colorectal ESD were searched by using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. The study was conducted for five endpoints: en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate, operation time, dissection speed, and adverse events rate. Pairwise and network meta-analyses were performed through Rev Man 5.4 and Stata 16.0. The quality of all included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Twenty-six studies met the inclusion criteria, including 7 RCTs and 19 non-RCTs, with a total of 3,002 patients. The pooled analysis showed that the en bloc resection rate of H-ESD was significantly lower than that of C-ESD, P-ESD, and T-ESD (RR = 0.28, 95% CI [0.12, 0.65]; RR = 0.11, 95% CI [0.03, 0.44]; RR = 8.28, 95% CI [2.50, 27.42]). Compared with C-ESD, the operation time of H-ESD and T-ESD was significantly shorter (MD = -21.83, 95% CI [-34.76, -8.90]; MD = -23.8, 95% CI [-32.55, -15.06]). Meanwhile, the operation time of T-ESD was also significantly shorter than that of P-ESD (MD = -18.74, 95% CI [-31.93, -5.54]). The dissection speed of T-ESD was significantly faster than that of C-ESD (MD = 6.26, 95% CI [2.29, 10.23]). CONCLUSION P-ESD and T-ESD are probably the two best methods of colorectal ESD at present. The advantages of P-ESD are high en bloc resection rate and low incidence of adverse events. The advantages of T-ESD are rapid dissection and short operation time.

Abstract
Purpose Colorectal cancer (CRC) can develop via a hypermutagenic pathway characterized by frequent somatic DNA base-pair mutations. Alternatively, the immunogenicity of tumor cells themselves may influence the anticancer activity of the immune effector cells. Impaired DNA repair mechanisms drive mutagenicity, which then increase the neoantigen load and immunogenicity. However, no studies have analyzed immune checkpoint protein expression, particularly programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), in adenoma–carcinoma progression and its relationship with the emergence of other DNA repair gene mutation. Materials and Methods We investigated mutations of 10 genes involved in DNA repair function: XRCC1, TP53, MLH1, MSH, KRAS, GSTP, UMP, MTHF, DPYD, and ABCC2. We performed sequencing to determine mutations and immunohistochemistry of immune checkpoints in clinical samples and determined changes in XRCC1 expression during progression through the adenoma–carcinoma pathway. We further investigated the prognostic associations of gene XRCC1 according to the expression, mutational profile, and immune profile using The Cancer Genome Atlas-colon adenocarcinoma (TCGA-COAD) dataset. Results From clinical samples, XRCC1 mutation demonstrated the strongest association with adenomas with a mutation frequency of 56.2% in adenomas and 34% in CRCs (p =0.016). XRCC1 was abnormally expressed and altered by mutations contributing to adenoma carcinogenesis. High expression of XRCC1, CD4, FOXP3, and PD-1/PD-L1 showed an overall upward trend with increased lesion severity (all p < 0.01). PD-1/PD-L1 expression and CD4+ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) correlated with cytological dysplasia progression, specifically in patients with wild-type XRCC1 (all p < 0.01), whereas FOXP3 expression was independently associated with adenoma–carcinoma progression. From TCGA-COAD analysis, XRCC1 expression was associated with patients survival, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and immune marker expression. Conclusion Increased IEL density and PD-1/PD-L1 expression correlate with cytological dysplasia progression and specifically with the XRCC1 mutation status in CRC. Our findings support a stepwise dysplasia-carcinoma sequence of adenoma carcinogenesis and an XRCC1 hypermutated phenotypic mechanism of lesions.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a serious digestive tract disease that threatens human life worldwide, and the prognosis of gastric cancer accompanied by distant lymph node or the distant metastasis organs is worse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of circular RNA COL6A3_030 (circBase ID: hsa_circ_0006401; circRNADb ID: hsa_circ_28198; circBank ID: hsa_circCOL6A3_030) in GC metastasis. qRT-PCR analysis using back-splicing primers and Sanger sequencing of PCR products were performed to identify circCOL6A3_030 in GC tissues and cell lines; RNA-FISH assay was performed to validate the subcellular localization of circCOL6A3_030. Transwell and wound-healing assays were carried out to evaluate the migration ability of GC cells. Western blot was conducted to detect the polypeptide encoded by circCOL6A3_030 in cells. circCOL6A3_030 was down-regulated in GC tissues and cell lines, while circCOL6A3_030 was up-regulated in GC with distant lymph node metastasis. The migration of circCOL6A3_030 silenced GC cells was significantly inhibited in both SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cell lines. Importantly, in vivo assay, silencing circCOL6A3_030 could reduce liver metastases from gastric cancer cells. Meanwhile, further studies suggested that circCOL6A3_030 encoded a small peptide that had a function as a tumor-promoting metastasis factor and immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence of this polypeptide. To sum up, our study showed that circCOL6A3_030 promoted GC cell migration by encoding a small peptide called circCOL6A3_030_198aa. Therefore, our results highlight the potential role of circCOL6A3_030 for clinical diagnosis and treatment of GC with distant lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Purpose The guidelines recommend urgent biliary drainage (BD) for severe acute cholangitis, without a clear definition of “urgent”. To explore the optimal time, we identified the impact of timing of BD on clinical outcomes in severe acute cholangitis. Patients and Methods A retrospective study of patients with severe acute cholangitis was conducted based on the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. Multivariable regressions were used to identified the effect of timing of BD on in-hospital mortality, 30-day mortality, and the length of stay (LOS) in hospital and the intensive care unit (ICU) with adjustment for confounding factors. Results A total of 106 severe acute cholangitis patients underwent BD with a median time of 14.14 hours (IQR: 7.60–32.59). Among them, 67.9% were performed within 24 hours and 80.2% within 48 hours. Median length of stay was 2.65 days (IQR: 1.70–5.12) in the ICU and 7.54 days (IQR: 4.49–17.17) in hospital. The in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates were 13.2% and 14.2%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, every 1-day delay of BD increased 1.49 days of stay in hospital (P<0.0001). Delayed BD (>48 hours) was linked with 5.56 days longer ICU LOS (P = 0.0096), while urgent BD (<24 hours) did not significantly shorten the ICU stay (P = 0.0997). No significant increase was observed on in-hospital mortality (OR = 1.03; 95% CI 0.93–1.13) nor 30-day mortality (OR=1.01; 95% CI 0.87–1.14) with BD delay in this population. Conclusion In severe acute cholangitis patients, delay in BD increased in-hospital LOS. BD after 48 hours was associated with longer ICU LOS. Yet, BD within 24 hours did not significantly reduce the mortality nor shortened the ICU LOS.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the visual fixation patterns during facial emotion recognition and the association between fixation duration percentage (FDP) of eye region with social impairment among high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD). Methods: Children were recruited from the Child and Adolescent Behavior Research Center of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, between July and December 2019 for case control study. A total of 42 children with HFASD and 23 age-and gender-matched typical development (TD) children were enrolled. Based on their performance during the facial emotion recognition task, HFASD children were further divided into ASD-1 group (correctly recognized both happy and fear emotions) and ASD-2 group (recognized happy emotions only). During the free viewing task, an infrared eye tracker was used to record the gazing data of children in the three groups. The social responsiveness scales (SRS) was utilized to evaluate HFASD children's social impairment, with the cutoff score of 75 to differentiate those from mild and severe social impairment. The differences of FDP among the three groups were analyzed by the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) model. Mixed linear regression model was conducted to evaluate the associations between social impairment and FDP of eye region among HFASD children. Results: The final sample consists of 25 ASD-1 (20 males, aged (7.9±1.0) years), 17 ASD-2(14 males, aged (7.2±1.2) years), and 23 TD (12 males, aged (7.7±1.3) years) children. There were no significant differences in age and gender among three groups (F=2.05, χ²=10.08, P=0.14 and 0.07, respectively). For the happy emotion, there are significant differences in eye FDP among the three groups (TD: 0.37±0.20, ASD-1: 0.35±0.20, ASD-2: 0.47±0.24, F=3.97, P=0.02). Mixed linear regression model revealed that, adjusting for emotion, gender, age and intelligence quotient, ASD children's eye FDP negatively associates with social impairment (OR=0.15, 95%CI: 0.06-0.35, P<0.01). Conclusions: Longer FDP is associated with milder social impairment among HFASD children. HFASD children with facial emotion recognition difficulties require longer fixation to recognize happy emotions.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous disease with variable prognosis. The cellular composition in synovium is the driving force of joint destruction in RA, and the predictive values of histopathological assessments on the clinical outcomes of RA have been identified. However, current synovial histopathological assessments mainly focus on the infiltrated immunocytes to distinguish RA synovium into different synovial pathotypes. Whether addition of stromal cells improve the accuracy of histopathological assessments remains unknow.Objectives:To distinguish synovial pathotypes of RA based on intercellular connection and explore their predictive value on one-year radiographic progression.Methods:Active RA patients who underwent needle synovial biopsy at baseline were recruited from a real-world prospective cohort. Clinical data were evaluated at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 12 months. Histopathologic assessments included Krenn synovitis score and semiquantitative score of immunohistochemical staining for CD20, CD38, CD4, CD8, CD68, CD31 and CD90. Cluster analysis was used to distinguish synovial pathotypes. The primary outcome was one-year radiographic progression defined as a change in total Sharp/van der Heijde modified score≥0.5 units.Results:1. Among 134 RA patients who received synovial biopsy at baseline and finished one-year follow-up, 105 had qualified synovial tissue. The mean age was 50.2±13.3 years with 77.1% female. The median disease duration was 24 (9-120) months. All patients were active RA, and 64.8%, 26.7% and 8.6% patients in high, moderate and low disease activity, respectively. There were 41 (39%) patients who have never been treated with corticosteroids or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs.2. During one-year follow-up, there were 48.6%, 63.8%, 71.4%, and 69.5% patients achieved CDAI LDA target, and 12.4%, 30.5%, 34.3%, and 32.4% patients achieved CDAI remission after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. A total of 33 (31.4%) patients had radiographic progression.3. All patients were divided into three clusters using cluster analysis based on the seven synovial cellular scores. Patients in cluster 1 (n=50, 47.6%) had higher scores of sublining CD68+ macrophages, CD31+ endothelial cells and CD90+ fibroblasts, thus named as myeloid-stromal pathotype. Patients in cluster 2 (n=26, 24.8%) had higher scores of CD20+ B cells, CD38+ plasma cells, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, thus named as lymphoid pathotype. Patients in cluster 3 (n=29, 27.6%) had lower scores of all seven cell types, thus named as pauci-cellular pathotype (Figure 1).4. RA patients with baseline synovial myeloid-stromal pathotype showed higher rate of one-year radiographic progression versus lymphoid and pauci-cellular pathotypes (48% vs. 16.4%, P<0.001), whereas there was no difference between lymphoid and pauci-cellular pathotypes (11.5% vs. 20.7, P=0.475). Adjusted for confounding factors including age, sex, smoking, disease duration, RF status, ACPA status, CDAI, HAQ-DI and mTSS at baseline, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline synovial myeloid-stromal pathotype independently predicted one-year radiographic progression (AOR=3.602, 95%CI:1.257-10.324, P=0.017, Table 1).Conclusion:Baseline synovial myeloid-stromal pathotype in RA can predict one-year radiographic progression.Funding:This work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (no. 81971527, 81801606 and 81801605), Guangdong Natural Science Foundation (no. 2018A030313541 and 2018A030313690), Guangdong Medical Scientific Research Foundation (no.

Abstract
Dysregulation of circular RNA (circRNA) expression is involved in the progression of cancer. Here, we aimed to study the potential function of hsa_circ_0006401 in colorectal cancer (CRC). CircRNA hsa_circ_0006401 expression levels in CRC and adjacent nontumor tissues were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and circRNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH). Then, CRC cell proliferation was assessed by cell counting. Wound-healing and transwell assays were utilized to detect the effect of hsa_circ_0006401 on CRC migration. A circRNA-ORF construct was created, and a specific antibody against the splice junction of hsa_circ_0006401 was prepared. Finally, the proteins directly binding to hsa_circ_0006401 peptides were identified by immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry. In our study, we found hsa_circ_0006401 was closely related to CRC metastasis and exhibited upregulated expression in metastatic CRC tissue samples. Proliferation and migration were inhibited in vitro when hsa_circ_0006401 expression was silenced. Downregulation of hsa_circ_0006401 expression decreased CRC proliferation and liver metastasis in vivo. A 198-aa peptide was encoded by sequences of the splice junction absent from col6a3. Hsa_circ_0006401 promoted CRC proliferation and migration by encoding the hsa_circ_0006401 peptide. Hsa_circ_0006401 peptides decreased the mRNA and protein level of the host gene col6a3 by promoting col6a3 mRNA stabilation. In conclusion, our study revealed that circRNAs generated from col6a3 that contain an open-reading frame (ORF) encode a novel 198-aa functional peptide and hsa_circ_0006401 peptides promote stability of the host gene col6a3 mRNA to promote CRC proliferation and metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) refers to the appearance of multiple regular tiny veins in the body of the stomach and is considered to be very effective for identifying gastric mucosa with non-Helicobacter pylori infection. This meta-analysis was conducted to systematically evaluate the value of the sign in predicting a Helicobacter pylori-negative stomach and the relevant factors that may affect the performance of this prediction. METHODS Two biomedical databases (PubMed and EMBASE) were systematically searched through April 20, 2020. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the SROC curve (AUC) were calculated. RESULTS Fourteen articles with 4070 patients were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR and AUC for the RAC in predicting non-Hp infection were 0.80 (0.67-0.89), 0.97 (0.93-0.98), 24.8 (12.2-50.8), 0.21 (0.12-0.36), 120 (47-301) and 0.97 (0.19-1.00), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The RAC is a valuable endoscopic feature for the prediction of patients without Hp infection.

Abstract
Domoic acid (DA), the focus of this research, is a marine algal neurotoxin and epileptogen produced by species in the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. DA is found in finfish and shellfish across the globe. The current regulatory limit for DA consumption (20 ppm in shellfish) was set to protect humans from acute toxic effects, but there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that regular consumption of DA contaminated seafood at or below the regulatory limit may lead to subtle neurological effects in adults. The present research uses a translational nonhuman primate model to assess neurophysiological changes after chronic exposure to DA near the regulatory limit. Sedated electroencephalography (EEG) was used in 20 healthy adult female Macaca fascicularis, orally administered 0.075 and 0.15 mg DA/kg/day for at least 10 months. Paired video and EEG recordings were cleaned and a Fast Fourier Transformation was applied to EEG recordings to assess power differences in frequency bands from 1-20 Hz. When DA exposed animals were compared to controls, power was significantly decreased in the delta band (1-4 Hz, p < 0.005) and significantly increased in the alpha band (5-8 Hz, p < 0.005), theta band (9-12 Hz, p < 0.01), and beta band (13-20 Hz, p < 0.05). The power differences were not dose dependent or related to the duration of DA exposure, or subtle clinical symptoms of DA exposure (intentional tremors). Alterations of power in these bands have been associated with a host of clinical symptoms, such as deficits in memory and neurodegenerative diseases, and ultimately provide new insight into the subclinical toxicity of chronic, low-dose DA exposure on the adult primate brain.

Abstract
Aims: To profile and characterize the circular RNA (circRNA) expression pattern in poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma (PDGA). Methods & materials: CircRNA expression profiles in PDGA and adjacent nontumor tissues were analyzed by microarray. Five randomly selected differentiated expressed circRNAs (DECs) were validated by real-time quantitative PCR. m6A qualification of the top 20 DECs was conducted by m6A-immunoprecipitation and real-time quantitative PCR. Results: A total of 65 DECs were found in PDGA compared with the control. Hsa_circRNA_0077837 had the largest area under the curve. Most DECs had m6A modifications, the trend of m6A modification alteration was mainly consistent with the circRNA expression level. Conclusion: Our study revealed a set of DECs and their m6A modification alterations, which may provide new insight for their potential function in PDGA.

Abstract
Background:CD163, a hemoglobin scavenger receptor, has been identified as a marker of M2 macrophages, it can promote the release of IL-10 and carbon oxide. Researches on inflammatory diseases and tumors have suggested that CD163 plays anti-inflammatory effect and promotes tumor growth and metastasis. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by chronic synovitis with inflammatory cells infiltration including considerable macrophages. However, little is known about the role of CD163+ macrophages in RA synovium.Objectives:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of synovial CD163+ macrophages in RA.Methods:Seventy-five RA patients were recruited and clinical data including disease activity, HAQ and Sharp/van der Heijde-modified Sharp score of bilateral hands and wrists were collected. Synovial tissues were obtained by needle biopsies or arthroscopy of knee joints. Eighteen osteoarthritis (OA) and seventeen orthopedic arthropathies (orth.A) patients were included as controls. All synovium were stained with H&E and immunohistochemically for CD163, CD3, CD20, CD38, CD68, and CD15. Histologic changes of synovitis in H&E stained sections were graded with Krenn’s synovitis score.Results:Positive CD163 expression were found in both lining synoviocytes and sublining inflammatory cells. Both densities of lining and sublining CD163+ macrophages in RA synovium were significantly higher than that in OA or Orth.A synovium (140.47±66.93 vs. 17.85±7.70 vs. 19.76±5.26 and 417.92±249.62 vs. 27.58±14.19 vs. 29.87±9.33, allP<0.001, Figure 1).According to Krenn’s synovitis score, there were 68% RA patients showing high synovitis (score>4). Both lining and sublining synovial CD163+ macrophages were significantly higher than those showing low synovitis (lining: 158.40±62.91 vs. 122.06±66.74, sublining: 462.96±62.91 vs. 371.65±271.54, bothP<0.05). Meanwhile, the densities of lining and sublining CD163+ macrophages were both positively correlated with Krenn’s synovitis score (r=0.238 and 0.343, bothP<0.05).For clinical relationship in RA, the density of sublining CD163+ macrophages was positively correlated with total Sharp score (mTSS) (r=0.399,P<0.001), joint space narrowing subscore (r=0.248,P=0.032) and joint erosion subscore (r=0.457,P<0.001). While the density of lining CD163+ macrophages was positively correlated with mTSS (r=0.319,P=0.005) and joint erosion subscore (r=0.358,P=0.002). Meanwhile, the densities of sublining and lining CD68+ macrophages were also positively correlated with mTSS (r=0.253 and 0.242, bothP<0.05), of which the correlation was weaker than that of CD163+ macrophages (Figure 2). There were no significant correlation between the density of CD163+ macrophages and disease activity or HAQ (allP>0.05).Conclusion:Synovial CD163+ macrophages are associated with radiographic joint destruction, which imply that CD163+ macrophages may play role in the pathogenisis of joint destruction in RA.Figure 1.Representative immunohistochemical findings of synovial CD163 expression.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of various anti-ulcer medications in preventing delayed bleeding and promoting ulcer healing after ESD.Methods: Asystematic search was conducted for articles up to August2019. The treatments of iatrogenic ulcer were analyzed by Bayesian network meta-analysis.Results: The analysis included 28 studies. Six treatments were compared. For the prevention of delayed bleeding, potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) alone was superior to proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) alone [RR = 1.02, 95%CI (1.00, 1.05)]. Treatments based on P-CAB tended to be better than the non-P-CAB groups [RR = 1.05, 95%CI (1.03, 1.07)]. Concerning the ulcer healing rate at 4 weeks, the combined treatment of PPI and mucoprotective agent (MP) was superior to PPI alone [RR = 1.81, 95%CI (1.19, 2.76)] and P-CAB alone [RR = 2.75, 95%CI (1.02, 7.44)]. At 8 weeks, PPI+MP and P-CAB+MP tend to be superior to than the other four groups. The healing effect of MP-based therapies was better than that of non-MP groups at 4 weeks [RR = 1.63, 95%CI (1.32, 2.01)] and 8 weeks [RR = 1.06, 95%CI (1.02, 1.11)].Conclusion: P-CAB may prevent delayed bleeding, but not significantly. MP agents have the potential to heal post-ESD ulcers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Hiatal hernia (HH) has been found in a large number of people, but there has been no unified way to diagnose it. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic efficiency of X-ray, endoscopy, and high-resolution manometry (HRM) in the diagnosis of HH using surgical diagnosis of HH as the gold standard. METHODS Two biomedical databases (PubMed and EMBASE) were systematically searched through January 26, 2019. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the SROC curve (AUC) were calculated, and the AUC statistical significance was compared by Tukey's multiple comparisons test. RESULTS A total of 5337 patients in seven articles were included. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and AUC for X-ray were 0.63 (0.46-0.77), 0.85 (0.69-0.94), and 0.80 (0.77-0.84), respectively, for diagnosing HH. The pooled estimates for endoscopy in diagnosing HH were as follows: sensitivity, 0.72 (0.39-0.91); specificity, 0.80 (0.70-0.87); and AUC, 0.82 (0.78-0.85). Similarly, the corresponding values for HRM were 0.77 (0.70-0.83); 0.92 (0.85-0.96), and 0.9527. Tukey's multiple comparisons tests were used to compare the AUCs of the three diagnostic methods: No significant differences were found between X-ray and endoscopy (P = 0.7293), and HRM was superior to X-ray (P = 0.0127) and endoscopy (P = 0.0442). CONCLUSIONS High-resolution manometry may exhibit a better diagnostic performance for hiatal hernia. In contrast, X-ray and endoscopy may not be the best methods, and there was no significant difference in diagnostic efficiency between the X-ray and endoscopy.

Abstract
Through the effort in nearly 40 years of Tanzania, the total number of reported cases, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and the number of death have declined, while the number of patients receiving antiretroviral therapy has increased significantly in Tanzania. At the same time, however, there are new challenges that require more attention, such as the HIV spread to rural areas, middle and lower social classes, and female teenagers. Although the overall performance of the HIV/AIDS prevention and control response is great, there is still a need to survey the new trends of this disease at the micro-level in Tanzania. In addition, there is a necessity of interdisciplinary concern due to the prevalence of heterosexual anal sex in Tanzania.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 beta (PGC-1β) on osteoclastogenesis and related regulatory mechanism in the mouse monocyte-macrophage cell line (RAW264.7). Methods: PGC-1β expression and location in RAW264.7 cells was detected by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and western blot analysis with nuclear protein extraction. RAW264.7 cells were transfected with lentivirus for gene silencing or over-expression of PGC-1β and cultured with macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand. Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry. Mature osteoclasts and their bone resorption activity were determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) expression and toluidine blue staining. Western blot analysis was performed for detecting dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), cathepsin K, TRAP and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression, as well as cytoplasmic NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) and nuclear RelB. Results: PGC-1β expression was observed in the nuclei of RAW264.7 cells. Down-regulation or overexpression of PGC-1β in RAW264.7 cells did not affect cell viability, apoptosis or cell cycle. Down-regulation of PGC-1β decreased the count of mature osteoclasts (49±21 cells vs. 147±42 cells, P=0.004) and the pit area of bone resorption lacunae (42.11μm(2)±11.30 μm(2) vs. 204.80μm(2)±31.09 μm(2), P<0.001), as well as the expression of cathepsin K, TRAP and MMP-9, but not DC-STAMP. Overexpression of PGC-1β promoted osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption activity, as well as the expression of cathepsin K, TRAP and MMP-9. Down-regulation of PGC-1β suppressed the protein expression of cytoplasmic NIK and nuclear RelB in RAW264.7 cells. Conclusion: PGC-1β can promote the differentiation of RAW264.7 into osteoclasts and improve the bone resorption ability of the cells via activation of NIK/RelB pathway, which might be a promising therapeutic target for osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling performs multiple essential functions during craniofacial development. In this study, we used the adult mouse incisor as a model to uncover how BMP signaling maintains tissue homeostasis and regulates mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) fate by mediating WNT and FGF signaling. We observed a severe defect in the proximal region of the adult mouse incisor after loss of BMP signaling in the Gli1+ cell lineage, indicating that BMP signaling is required for cell proliferation and odontoblast differentiation. Our study demonstrates that BMP signaling serves as a key regulator that antagonizes WNT and FGF signaling to regulate MSC lineage commitment. In addition, BMP signaling in the Gli1+ cell lineage is also required for the maintenance of quiescent MSCs, suggesting that BMP signaling not only is important for odontoblast differentiation but also plays a crucial role in providing feedback to the MSC population. This study highlights multiple important roles of BMP signaling in regulating tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
1. During the long history of chicken domestication, eyelid colour, like skin colour and shank colour, has been one of the physical traits of Chinese indigenous chickens that influence consumer buying behaviour. In China, the Lindian chicken, which has coloured feathers, is renowned for the appetizing flavour of its meat and eggs, and its eyelid colours vary from deep (black) to light shades (light yellow). 2. To investigate genes involved in eyelid colour, the expression profiles of black and light-yellow eyelids of Lindian chickens were analysed with transcriptome sequencing. 3. A total of 13 466 genes were detected in the eyelids, among which 14 were differentially expressed. Among these differentially expressed genes (DEGs), three key genes, premelanosome protein (PMEL), dopachrome tautomerase (DCT), and tyrosinase (TYR), encoded proteins that positively regulate melanogenesis and melanin deposition. PMEL, DCT and TYR were expressed much more strongly in the black eyelids than in the light-yellow eyelids. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that tyrosine metabolism and melanogenesis genes were significantly enriched among these DEGs (corrected P < 0.05). 4. In conclusion, melanin may be one of the main factors involved in Lindian chicken eyelid colour. Furthermore, these results provide a valuable resource for the future study of the physical traits of Lindian chicken.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding 20-25 nt RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by posttranscriptional repression of messenger RNA. There have been few investigations on the profiles and functions of miRNAs in ovine subcutaneous fat; their roles in the metabolism and deposition of subcutaneous fat also remain unclear. In this study, small RNA libraries were constructed for 2 important Chinese local sheep breeds, Small-tailed Han Sheep, and Shanxi Meat Sheep Dam Line, and used for high-throughput sequencing. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, revealing the effect of miR-124-3p on adipogenic differentiation by targeting C/EBPα. Our results provide both a comprehensive understanding of miRNA expression patterns in sheep subcutaneous fat and an insight into the specific roles of miRNAs in adipogenesis.

Abstract
Dark plasmonic resonances in metallic nanostructures are essential for many potential applications such as refractive index sensing, single molecule detection, nanolasers etc. However, it is difficult to excite the dark modes in optical experiments and thus the practical applications are severely limited. Herein, we demonstrate a simple method to experimentally excite the quadrupolar and higher-order plasmonic modes with normal incident light. By directionally depositing silver films onto the sidewalls of metal-covered one-dimensional grating, we have experimentally observed a series of asymmetrical resonances at the plasmonic ranges of silver gratings. Interestingly, both of the reflection and transmission coefficients of high-order plasmonic modes are reduced to around zero, demonstrating the perfect absorption very well. The corresponding numerical simulations show that these resonances are the well-known dark modes. Different from the conventional dark modes in plasmonic dimers, here the dark modes are the electric oscillations (as standing waves) within the silver sidewalls that are excited by charge accumulation via the bright plasmonic resonance of the top silver strips. In addition to the simple realization of perfect absorption, the dark modes are found to be quite sensitive to the environmental changes. The experimentally measured reflective index sensitivity is around 458 nm per RIU (refractive index unit), which is much higher than the sensitivity of the metal-covered grating without silver sidewalls. This research shall pave new routes to practical applications of dark surface plasmons.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of the recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor Ⅱ-IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR: Fc, etanercept) for the treatment of occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis induced by trichloroethylene (OMLDT) . Methods: In September 2011 to February 2016, 12 patients with OMLDT were treated with etanercept 25 mg, subcutaneous injection, twice per week, doubling of first dose. The course of treatment was 6 weeks. The drug eruption area and severity index (DASI) score, the proportion of patients achieving a 50%, 75% and 90% reduction in DASI (DASI50, DASI75, DASI90) and the serum level of TNF-α were used to assess the efficacy at different times. Adverse reactions were also recorded and evaluated. The results were statistically analyzed by nonparametric Friedman test and repetitive measurement ANOVA using the software SPSS19.0. Results: After 4 weeks treatment, the DASI score decreased form 56.33±7.02 to 0.50±0.91 (P<0.01) . The DASI50, DASI75 and DASI90 were all increased to 12 (100%) . The serum level of TNF-α decreased form (43.74±41.62) pg/ml to (3.03±0.47) pg/ml (P<0.01) . Statistically significant difference was observed from the above indexes. There were no adverse reactions in clinical application. Conclusion: Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor Ⅱ-IgG Fc fusion protein may be a safe and effective drug in the treatment of OMLDT.
