Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a serious health concern that affects pregnant women worldwide and can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Early detection of high-risk individuals and the implementation of appropriate treatment can enhance these outcomes. METHODS We conducted a study on a cohort of 3467 pregnant women during their pregnancy, with a total of 5649 clinical and biochemical records collected. We utilized this dataset as our training dataset to develop a web server called GDMPredictor. The GDMPredictor utilizes advanced machine learning techniques to predict the risk of GDM in pregnant women. We also personalize treatment recommendations based on essential biochemical indicators, such as A1MG, BMG, CysC, CO2, TBA, FPG, and CREA. Our assessment of GDMPredictor's effectiveness involved training it on the dataset of 3467 pregnant women and measuring its ability to predict GDM risk using an AUC and auPRC. RESULTS GDMPredictor demonstrated an impressive level of precision by achieving an AUC score of 0.967. To tailor our treatment recommendations, we use the GDM risk level to identify higher risk candidates who require more intensive care. The GDMPredictor can accept biochemical indicators for predicting the risk of GDM at any period from 1 to 24 weeks, providing healthcare professionals with an intuitive interface to identify high-risk patients and give optimal treatment recommendations. CONCLUSIONS The GDMPredictor presents a valuable asset for clinical practice, with the potential to change the management of GDM in pregnant women. Its high accuracy and efficiency make it a reliable tool for doctors to improve patient outcomes. Early identification of high-risk individuals and tailored treatment can improve maternal and fetal health outcomes http://www.bioinfogenetics.info/GDM/ .

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of CD5L levels in patients with candidemia and explore the role of CD5L in progression of candidemia. METHODS Twenty healthy control individuals, 27 patients with bacteremia and 35 patients with candidemia were examined for serum CD5L levels using ELISA, and the correlations of CD5L level with other serological indicators were analyzed. A C57BL/6 mouse model of candidemia induced by intravenous injection of Candida albicans were treated with intraperitoneal injection of recombinant CD5L protein, and renal histopathological and serological changes were analyzed to assess renal injures. The effects of CD5L treatment on general condition, fungal burden, of survival of the mice were observed, and the changes in serum IL-6 and IL-8 levels of the mice were detected using ELISA. RESULTS CD5L levels were significantly elevated in patients with candidemia and positively correlated with WBC, BDG, Scr and PCT levels. The mouse model of candidemia also showed significantly increased serum and renal CD5L levels, and CD5L treatment significantly increased fungal burden in the renal tissue, elevated IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the serum and kidney, aggravated renal tissue damage, and reduced survival rate of candidemia mice. CONCLUSION Serum CD5L levels are increased in patients with candidemia, and treatment with CD5L aggravates candidemia in mouse models.

Abstract
Background High histologic remission rates have been reported with placebos in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating ulcerative colitis (UC) therapies and have varied based on trial designs. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify placebo histological remission rates and identify factors influencing those rates. Purpose This systematic review aims to improve future trials design and minimize placebo rates in UC trials. Method MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library were searched from inception of the databases until December 2021. We included placebo-controlled RCTs of adult patients with UC treated with aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunosuppressives, biologics, and small molecules. We pooled estimates using a random-effects model and performed subgroup analysis as well as meta-regression to evaluate the effect of different covariates on placebo rates. Result(s) Thirty-three studies (30 induction and 3 maintenance) were included. The overall placebo histological remission rate was 15.7% [95% CI 12.9-19%] across all 33 studies (Figure). High heterogeneity was observed among studies with I2 = 62.10%. In induction studies, the pooled estimate of histological remission was 15.8% [95% CI 12.7-19.5%], while in maintenance studies the pooled estimate was 14.5% [95% CI 8.4-24%]. Subgroup analysis revealed statistically significant differences in placebo rates when accounting for background medications, the intervention drug class, and disease severity [p= 0.041, 0.025, and 0.025, respectively]. There was no statistical difference between induction vs. maintenance studies or between different histological scales [p= 0.771, and 0.075, respectively]. Meta-regression showed similar results except that the therapy used was not statistically significant [p-value= 0.059]. Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) Placebo histological remission rates range from 13-19% in UC RCTs, but studies are highly heterogeneous. Factors found to influence placebo rates include presence of background medications, the drug used and the disease severity in UC patients. These observations have important implications in informing future trial designs to minimize placebo rates and reduce heterogeneity. Disclosure of Interest M. Youssef: None Declared, K.

Abstract
α-Farnesene is a sesquiterpene present in plants. It was first discovered in apples. It plays an important role in the plant defence response and is considered a key factor in the occurrence of superficial scald. The gene encoding α-farnesene synthase, which is the last key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of α-farnesene in apple fruit, has become the primary target enzyme for controlling the genetic manipulation of α-farnesene biosynthesis. In this study, the yeast one-hybrid assay and the dual luciferase assay were used to ascertain the relationship between MdLSD1 and MdAFS. Real-time PCR was used to analyse the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of MdAFS by MdLSD1. Our results revealed that transcription factor MdLSD1, which is closely related to programmed cell death in apple fruit tissues, binds to MdAFS. Transient transformation of apple skin with vectors overexpressing MdLSD1 showed that the gene negatively regulates MdAFS. Overall, we suggest that MdLSD1 negatively regulates MdAFS. Our results are of great significance for future research on the transcriptional regulation of the α-farnesene synthase gene and provide a new direction for exploring the specific mechanism of programmed cell death involved in superficial-scald incidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the target delivery properties of RC48-ADC, a novel antibody drug conjugate (ADC) comprising cytotoxic monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and an anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) antibody tethered via valine-citrulline linker, in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dissociation rate of MMAE from RC48-ADC was used as an estimate of its stability in serum. Cytotoxicity of the antibody and RC48-ADC towards multiple cell lines was measured. Subcellular distribution of the drug was determined by fluorescence imaging. The mechanism of lysosome targeting was verified. Endocytic pathways of RC48-ADC were assessed by the cellular fluorescence intensity of fluorescently-labelled drugs. Intracellular and extracellular distribution of MMAE was analysed after RC48-ADC or MMAE administration to characterize MMAE release. The serum and tumour concentration of MMAE was compared after tail-vein injection of RC48-ADC into tumour-bearing mice. RESULTS RC48-ADC was highly stable in human serum. HER2-overexpressed cell line SK-BR-3 proliferation was stronger when suppressed by RC48-ADC than by the naked antibody. Both RC48-ADC and naked antibody were internalized via caveolae-mediated and clathrin-mediated endocytosis and concentrated in lysosomes. Higher HER2 expression was associated with enhanced uptake and intracellular release of conjugated MMAE; free MMAE could kill tumour cells via the bystander effect. Although serum RC48-ADC concentration was higher than that in tumours, exposure of MMAE in tumours was ~200 times higher than in serum, which rationalized the reduced toxicity of RC48-ADC. CONCLUSIONS In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed the targeted transport and release of RC48-ADC; it could selectively deliver MMAE to the targeted HER2-positive cell or tumour tissue, which could reduce off-target toxicity and enhance anti-tumour potency in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was designed to elucidate the role of microRNA-31 (miR-31) in HCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS HuH7 cell lines were transfected with miR-31 mimic or miR-31 inhibitor to investigate the role of miR-31 in regulating interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1). The mRNA and protein expression levels of IRF-1 were quantitatively detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. Subsequently, Dual-Luciferase reporter assay was also performed. RESULTS The expression level of miR-31 was significantly up-regulated in HuH7 cells when compared with that in primary human hepatocytes (hHC). Dual-Luciferase reporter assay indicated that IRF-1 was the direct target of miR-31. The expression levels of IRF-1 were decreased in HuH7 and HepG2 cell lines. IRF-1 was negatively correlated with miR-31 in HCC tissues and paired adjacent tissues. The expression level of miR-31 was inversely correlated with IRF-1. MiR-31 inhibitor up-regulated the expression levels of IRF-1 in HuH7 cells, whereas miR-31 mimic down-regulated the expression levels of IRF-1. Furthermore, the miR-31 mimic repressed IRF-1-3'UTR reporter activity, whereas the miR-31 inhibitor enhanced IRF-1-3'UTR reporter activity depending on the concentration of miR-31 mimic and miR-31 inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that miR-31 can regulate the expression level of IRF-1 in HCC, which probably provided novel theoretical evidence for the application of target miR-31 treatment of HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous cropping has resulted in the accumulation of self-toxic substances in faba beans which has restricted their global production. Intercropping is widely used to alleviate these problems. AIMS To explore the role of cinnamic acid stress in faba bean physiology and disease resistance, and the potential mitigating effects of intercropping the faba bean with wheat. METHODS Faba bean seedlings were grown with or without wheat in both field and hydroponic conditions in the presence of different cinnamic acid concentrations and Fusarium oxysporum (FOF), the occurrence of. Fusarium-mediated wilt and oxidative stress, as well as plant growth indices and the anti-pathogen defense system were analyzed. RESULTS Cinnamic acid significantly increased Fusarium pathogenicity, inhibited the activity of defense enzymes and reduced the ability of plants to resist pathogens, indicating the importance of cinnamic acid in the promotion of Fusarium wilt resulting in reduced seedling growth. Intercropping with wheat improved plant resistance by alleviating cinnamic acid-induced stress, which promoted crop growth and decreased the incidence and disease index of Fusarium wilt. CONCLUSION Cinnamic acid promotes Fusarium wilt by stimulating pathogen enzyme production and destroying the defense capability of faba bean roots. Intercropping reduces Fusarium wilt by alleviating the damage caused by cinnamic acid to the defense system of the faba bean root system.

Abstract
On a daily basis, the skin is exposed to many environmental stressors and insults. Over a 24-h natural cycle, during the day, the skin is focused on protection; while at night, the skin is focused on repairing damage that occurred during daytime and getting ready for the next morning. Circadian rhythm provides the precise timing mechanism for engaging those different pathways necessary to keep a healthy skin through clock genes that are present in all skin cells. The strongest clue for determining cellular functions timing is through sensing light or absence of light (darkness). Here, we asked the question if blue light could be a direct entrainment signal to skin cells and also disrupt their circadian rhythm at night. Through a reporter assay for per1 transcription, we demonstrate that blue light at 410 nm decreases per1 transcription in keratinocytes, showing that epidermal skin cells can sense light directly and control their own clock gene expression. This triggers cells to "think" it is daytime even at nighttime. Elsewhere, we measured different skin cell damage because of blue light exposure (at different doses and times of exposure) vs. cells that were kept in full darkness. We show an increase in ROS production, DNA damage and inflammatory mediators. These deleterious effects can potentially increase overall skin damage over time and ultimately accelerates ageing.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the longitudinal change of serum total cholesterol concentration in 733 rural residents in Shanxi province. Methods: Based on the residents of five rural areas in Shanxi province who participated in China nutrition and health survey in 2002, a follow-up survey was conducted in 2015. Fasting venous blood of the participants was collected and serum TC concentration was tested by cholesterol oxidase method. Results: Of 733 participants, 332 were male and 401 were female. In 2002 baseline survey, the age of the participants was (42.6±9.5) years old, 76.2% of male and 83.8% of female had junior middle school education or below. Proportion of smoking were 65.7% and 1.2%, drinking were 26.8% and 4.0%, obesity were 6.3% and 12.0%, and central obesity were 27.1% and 31.9%, respectively in male and female. The follow-up age of participants in 2015 was (55.8±9.5) years old, proportion of smoking changed to 48.2% and 1.5%, drinking were 49.7% and 3.0%, obesity increased to 11.8% and 18.2% and central obesity increased to 41.6% and 53.6%, respectively in male and female. The overall serum TC level increased from (3.82±0.89) mmol/L to (4.72±0.97) mmol/L with an average increase of 27.2%, which increased from (3.84±0.94) mmol/L to (4.54±0.93) mmol/L in male with an average increase of 22.7%, and increased from (3.81±0.84) mmol/L to (4.86±0.98) mmol/L in female with an average increase of 30.9%. The serum TC levels in 18-, 30-, 40-, and 50-59 years old group increased from (3.42±0.83), (3.72±0.77), (3.90±0.83) and (4.00±1.03) mmol/L to (4.38±1.01), (4.79±0.92), (4.73±0.99) and (4.76±0.96) mmol/L, with average increase range of 31.4%, 32.1%, 25.2% and 22.6%, respectively. The mean serum TC levels between two years all had statistically significant difference among groups of gender, age, education, marital status, family history of cardiovascular disease, smoking, drinking, BMI and waist circumference after paired t-test and ANOVA analysis (P<0.01). Conclusion: The longitudinal serum TC level of rural residents in Shanxi province increased rapidly.

Abstract
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been a popular approach in brain research over the past 20 years. It offers a noninvasive method to probe the brain and uses blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal changes to access brain function. However, the BOLD signal only represents a small fraction of the total MR signal. System instability and various noise have a strong impact on the BOLD signal. Additionally, fMRI applies fast imaging technique to record brain cognitive process over time, requiring high temporal stability of MR scanners. Furthermore, data acquisition, image quality, processing, and statistical analysis methods also have a great effect on the results of fMRI studies. Quality assurance (QA) programs for fMRI can test the stability of MR scanners, evaluate the quality of fMRI and help to find errors during fMRI scanning, thereby greatly enhancing the success rate of fMRI. In this review, we focus on previous studies which developed QA programs and methods in SCI/SCIE citation peer-reviewed publications over the last 20 years, including topics on existing fMRI QA programs, QA phantoms, image QA metrics, quality evaluation of existing preprocessing pipelines and fMRI statistical analysis methods. The summarized studies were classified into four categories: QA of fMRI systems, QA of fMRI data, quality evaluation of data processing pipelines and statistical methods and QA of task-related fMRI. Summary tables and figures of QA programs and metrics have been developed based on the comprehensive review of the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perimenopause is associated with increased risk of depression, vasomotor symptoms, and sexual dysfunction. AIMS To explore the effect of sex hormones on the functional connectivity (FC) of different brain regions related to sexual function in perimenopausal women. METHODS 32 premenopausal women (mean age, 47.75 ± 1.55 years) and 25 perimenopausal women (mean age, 51.60 ± 1.63 years) underwent sex hormone level measurements and resting-state fMRI. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Serum levels of sex hormones, including prolactin (PRL), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteotropic hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), free testosterone (free-T), and progesterone (P), were measured. 10 brain regions related to sexual function were selected according to a meta-analysis, and FCs of the selected regions of interest were calculated as Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS Compared with premenopausal women, perimenopausal women showed increased FC between the right area 13 (A13_r) and the right medial superior frontal gyrus (mSFG), between the left dorsal granular insula (dIg_L) and the right superior frontal gyrus (SFG) (Gaussian random field-corrected at the voxel level, P < .001, and cluster level, P < .025). Furthermore, the PRL level was negatively correlated with the FC of A13_R with the right mSFG and the FC of dIg_L with the right SFG. CLINICAL TRANSLATION These findings may be applicable to assessing brain dysfunction with FC changes in women approaching menopause. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS This study is the first to evaluate a direct relationship between sex hormone levels and brain FC changes in women approaching menopause. Sexual function was not assessed, which may weaken the conclusions related to sexual function. CONCLUSIONS The results show that women approaching menopause suffered from aberrant intrinsic FC in regions related to sexual function, and reveal a direct relationship between serum sex hormone levels and FC changes related to sexual function.

Abstract
Extracellular adenosine is a key signaling molecule which mediates immune suppression, angiogenesis, and regulates cancer cells growth. The effect of adenosine on cervical cancer cells migration and invasion has not been well studied. In the current study, we used Hela and SiHa cell lines to evaluate the effects of adenosine on cervical cancer cells migration, invasion, and apoptosis. The results showed that adenosine treatment inhibited the migration and invasion activities of Hela and SiHa cells. Moreover, by determining the expression of molecules which were involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) progress, we found that epithelial marker E-cadherin was significantly increased in response to adenosine treatment, while the mesenchymal markers including N-cadherin and fibronectin were decreased. These data suggested that adenosine inhibited cervical cancer cells via repressing the EMT progress. The flow cytometry analysis showed that adenosine could also induce cervical cancer cell apoptosis, which mechanism was further confirmed by investigating the expression levels of apoptosis related molecules, via activating mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. These data might suggest that adenosine could be used as an agent for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
The present study aimed to explore brain morphological alterations associated with age and sex hormone levels between premenopausal and perimenopausal women using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1 -weighted structural images. Thirty-two premenopausal women aged (mean ± SD) 47.75 ± 1.55 years and twenty-five recently perimenopausal women aged 51.60 ± 1.63 years were evaluated for sex hormone levels, including prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, oestradiol, free testosterone and progesterone. A 3.0-Tesla MRI scanner was utilised to acquire T1 images. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to evaluate changes in grey matter volume between the two groups. The general linear model was applied with false discovery rate correction for between group voxel-wise statistics. Spearman partial correlation analyses were conducted between age, sex hormone levels and regions of grey matter volume showing significant differences between the two groups. The VBM analysis revealed that age and menopause per se lead to grey matter volume reduction in certain brain structures. These structural changes might be potential causes of sexual dysfunction, nervous system degeneration and depression, which need to be examined in future studies. Our findings might provide evidence and guide future research in understanding the menopausal transition.

Abstract
Chemosensory membrane proteins, including odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), gustatory receptors (GRs) and sensory neurone membrane proteins (SNMPs), are supposed to be crucial macromolecules in the insect olfactory signal transduction pathway. The alfalfa plant bug Adelphocoris lineolatus (Goeze) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is highly attracted to high-nitrogen or flowering plants and destroys many important agricultural crops. We assembled the antennal transcriptome of A. lineolatus using Illumina sequencing technology and identified a total of 108 transcripts encoding chemosensory membrane proteins (88 ORs, 12 IRs, four GRs and four SNMPs), amongst which 90 candidates appeared to be full length. Subsequently, both semiquantitative reverse transcription PCR and quantitative real-time PCR experiments were performed to investigate their tissue- and sex-biased expression profiles. The results showed that nearly all of the 108 candidate chemosensory membrane protein genes were largely expressed in adult antennae, and some genes additionally displayed significant differences in the expression levels between sexes. The results of our phylogenetic analysis and the detailed tissue- and sex-biased expression characteristics given here provide an important foundation for further understanding of the complex chemoreception system of the alfalfa plant bug and other Hemiptera species, which also could help us use chemosensory membrane proteins as targets to manipulate insect olfactory behaviour and broaden the applications of available tools for insect pest control.

Abstract
SIRT6 is a member of the sirtuin family, which is involved in multiple cellular pathways related to aging, inflammation, epigenetics, and a variety of other cellular functions, including DNA repair (1). Multiple pathways involving different cellular functions are impacted by the deacetylase activity of SIRT6. Genomic integrity is maintained by the capacity of SIRT6 to modulate the accessibility of DNA repair proteins. Glucose metabolism is suppressed by SIRT6 via the deacetylation of histones located at the promoter regions of multiple glycolytic genes and the corepression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α. SIRT6 is also a corepressor of nuclear factor (NF)-κB, silencing NF-κB target genes through the deacetylation of histones at their promoters’ regions. We used SIRT6 small-interfering RNA as a tool to modulate residual DNA damage and NF-κB expression in human dermal fibroblasts. We measured NF-κB levels in the presence or the absence of ultraviolet B (UVB). The impact of SIRT6 knockdown as shown by a decrease in SIRT6 messenger RNA levels resulted in residual DNA damage as evaluated by the comet assay. Our results show that NF-κB was increased significantly (up to 400%) due to SIRT6 silencing in the absence of UVB, illustrating the master regulatory function of SIRT6 in inflammation. We also found a significant increase in DNA damage without UV exposure as a result of SIRT6 silencing, indicating the importance of SIRT6 in DNA repair pathways in cultured human dermal fibroblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional status and food insecurity are associated with frailty in the general U.S. population, yet little is known about this in the aging population of people living with HIV (PLWH). OBJECTIVES Given the potential importance of nutrition and the amenability to intervention, we examined the association between nutritional status, food insecurity, and frailty in PLWH. DESIGN Cross sectional study. SETTING Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. PARTICIPANTS 50 PLWH, age ≥45 years, recruited from a cohort study examining risk factors for cardiovascular disease. MEASUREMENTS Frailty, duration of HIV, use of antiretroviral therapy, disease history, food insecurity, physical function, and physical activity were assessed by questionnaire. Dietary intake was assessed using 3-day food records. Blood was drawn for CD4+ cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and lipid levels. Physical measurements included height, weight, and skinfold thickness. RESULTS The prevalence of frailty was 16% (n=8), 44% were pre-frail (n=22) and 40% were not frail (n=20). The number of reported difficulties with 20 activities of daily living was highest in frail (mean 10.4±3.9 SD), followed by pre-frail (6.5±4.6), and lowest in not frail participants (2.0±2.3). Seven (88%) of the frail PLWH lost weight with an average weight loss of 22.9 pounds; 6 (75%) reported unintentional weight loss, and all 6 of these met the frailty criteria for weight loss of 10 or more pounds. Nine (45%) of the not frail PLWH reported losing weight with an average weight loss of 6.2 pounds; 5 (23%) reported unintentional weight loss of <10 pounds. Frail PLWH were more likely to report being food insecure than not frail PLWH (63% vs. 10%, p=0.02), and tended to have lower energy intake than not frail PLWH. CONCLUSION Research is needed on targeted interventions to improve food security and activities of daily living in PLWH for both the prevention and improvement of frailty.

Abstract
Formation of magnetite in anaerobic sediments is thought to be enhanced by the activities of iron-reducing bacteria. Geobacter has been implicated as playing a major role, as in culture its cells are often associated with extracellular magnetite grains. We studied the bacterial community associated with magnetite grains in sediment of a freshwater pond in South Korea. Magnetite was isolated from the sediment using a magnet. The magnetite-depleted fraction of sediment was also taken for comparison. DNA was extracted from each set of samples, followed by PCR for 16S bacterial ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene and HiSeq sequencing. The bacterial communities of the magnetite-enriched and magnetite-depleted fractions were significantly different. The enrichment of three abundant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) suggests that they may either be dependent upon the magnetite grain environment or may be playing a role in magnetite formation. The most abundant OTU in magnetite-enriched fractions was Geobacter, bolstering the case that this genus is important in magnetite formation in natural systems. Other major OTUs strongly associated with the magnetite-enriched fraction, rather than the magnetite-depleted fraction, include a Sulfuricella and a novel member of the Betaproteobacteria. The existence of distinct bacterial communities associated with particular mineral grain types may also be an example of niche separation and coexistence in sediments and soils, which cannot usually be detected due to difficulties in separating and concentrating minerals.

Abstract
We performed genome-wide CNV detection based on SNP genotyping data of 96 Chinese-native Tibetan, Dahe and Wuzhishan pigs. These pigs are particularly interesting because of their excellent adaptation to hypoxia or small body size, which facilitates the use of them as models of different human diseases in addition to valuable agricultural animals. A total of 105 CNV regions (CNVRs) were identified, encompassing 16.71 Mb of the pig genome. Seven of 10 (70%) CNVRs selected randomly were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. Comparison with previous studies revealed 25 (23.81%) novel CNVRs, indicating that CNV coverage of the pig genome is still incomplete and there exists large diversity between pig breeds. Functional analysis of genes located in these CNVRs confirmed the high representation of genes involved in sensory perception, neurological system processes and other basic metabolic processes. In addition, the majority of these CNVRs were detected to span reported pig QTL that affect various traits, which highlighted three biologically interesting genes with copy number changes (i.e., ANKRD34B, FAM110B and ABCG1). These genes may have economic importance in pig breeding and are worth being further investigated. We also obtained some CNVRs harboring genes that had human orthologs involved in human diseases such as cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease. The findings of this study are a significant extension of the coverage of CNVRs in the pig genome and provide valuable resources for follow-up-associated studies of CNVs in pig complex traits as well as important implications of human diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an adverse psychological response to traumatic events. Microarray technology for large-scale gene expression analysis facilitates the identification of signatures that underlie the pathogenesis of PTSD. Previous studies mostly used variance/regression analysis without considering array specific factors. We aim to investigate the underlying mechanism of PTSD through partial least squares (PLS) based analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS With a gene expression profile data set for 17 chronic PTSD patients and 16 controls recovered from psychological trauma from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we performed Partial Least Square (PLS) based analysis. RESULTS We acquired 230 down-regulated genes and 335 up-regulated genes. Significantly increased representations of dysregulated genes in immune, endocrine and nervous pathways were identified. Among the top 5 hub genes in the network, PRKCA has been reported to be related with PTSD before. Three other genes, TP53, EP300 and CALM1 might also contribute to the pathogenesis of PTSD since they are all related with other neuronal disorders. CONCLUSIONS Our findings shed light on expression signatures of PTSD with the hope to give further theoretical supports for future therapeutic study.

Abstract
Tetrodotoxin-sensitive persistent sodium currents, INaP, that activate at subthreshold voltages, have been detected in numerous vertebrate and invertebrate neurons. These currents are believed to be critical for regulating neuronal excitability. However, the molecular mechanism underlying INaP is controversial. In this study, we identified an INaP with a broad range of voltage dependence, from -60mV to 20mV, in a Drosophila sodium channel variant expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Mutational analysis revealed that two variant-specific amino acid changes, I260T in the S4-S5 linker of domain I (ILS4-S5) and A1731V in the voltage sensor S4 of domain IV (IVS4), contribute to the INaP. I260T is critical for the portion of INaP at hyperpolarized potentials. The T260-mediated INaP is likely the result of window currents flowing in the voltage range where the activation and inactivation curves overlap. A1731V is responsible for impaired inactivation and contributes to the portion of INaP at depolarized potentials. Furthermore, A1731V causes enhanced activity of two site-3 toxins which induce persistent currents by inhibiting the outward movement of IVS4, suggesting that A1731V inhibits the outward movement of IVS4. These results provided molecular evidence for the involvement of distinct mechanisms in the generation of INaP: T260 contributes to INaP via enhancement of the window current, whereas V1731 impairs fast inactivation probably by inhibiting the outward movement of IVS4.

Abstract
We have developed a new rotating bed for the old and the paralised people. This rotating bed is composed of two bed heads at front and at end, bed boards, guardrails, an electric motor, a reducer, an induction locator and a set of electronic controls. With the preestablished program, the angle between the left/right bed board and the middle board is changed by rotating the left/right board around the rotation axis, and the gravity direction between the human body and the ground is changed by the rotation of the middle board as a whole, so that the middle bed board and the left and right ones will act respectively as supporters of weight of the person who is lying on his back or on his side. In this way, a person can turn over automatically, comfortably and naturally when he/she is asleep. This rotating bed meets the physiological needs of a sleeping person, and people with turning over problems can turn over in a comfortable and natural way by means of biotechnology. It can also improve the quality of sleep and help avoid decubitus. In addition, it can be used to promote the rehabilitation of those who are paralysed by reason of its passive exercising function.

Abstract
Two x-type high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in Aegilops tauschii, 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) were identified by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS. Their complete coding sequences were isolated by AS-PCR. 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) genes consist of 2535 bp and 2508 bp and encode 845 and 836 amino acid residues, respectively. The deduced molecular masses of 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) gene products are 87655.26 Da and 86664.24 Da, respectively, well corresponding to the molecular masses measured by MALDI-TOF-MS. A total of 18 SNPs were identified between 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t). Comparing with 1Dx5 subunit, 1Dx3(t) had a six amino acid insertion at 146-151 while the 1Dx4(t) had a nine amino acid deletion when compared with 1Dx3(t) subunit. The authenticity of the cloned 1Dx3(t) and 1Dx4(t) genes were confirmed by successful expression of their ORFs in E. coli. Comparison and phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid and nucleotide sequences confirmed that 1Dx3(t) was most closely related to 1Dx5 subunit that is widely accepted as a superior subunit for bread-making property. The secondary structure prediction demonstrated that 1Dx3(t) subunit has significantly high α-helix and β-strand contents, suggesting it might have positive effects on dough quality.

Abstract
Livin, a novel member of the human inhibitors of apoptosis protein (IAP) family, plays an important role in tumor progression and occurrence by inhibiting cell apoptosis. It is selectively expressed in the most common human neoplasms and appears to be involved in tumor cell resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. To investigate its possibility as a therapeutic target for human malignancies, we established two genetically different stable tumor cell lines (LoVo and SPCA-1) and RNA interference (RNAi) technique was employed to downregulate Livin expression in two human tumor cell lines. The specific downregulation of Livin expression in tumor cell lines significantly inhibited in vitro cell proliferation and in vivo tumorigenicity. Furthermore, Livin knockdown led to cell arrest in the G(1)/G(0) phase of cell cycle, eventual apoptosis and chemosensitivity enhancement in tumor cells. All these results indicate that RNAi-mediated downregulation of Livin expression can lead to potent antitumor activity and chemosensitizing effects in human cancers.
