Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD) is an effective method for treating lumbar disc herniation, and is typically performed under local anesthesia. However, inadequate analgesia during the procedure remains a concern, prompting the search for a medication that can provide optimal pain control with minimal impact on the respiratory and circulatory systems. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to observe the effects of different doses of esketamine combined with dexmedetomidine on reducing visual analog scale (VAS) scores during surgical interventions. METHODS One hundred two patients who underwent PETD were randomly divided into a control group (group C: normal saline + dexmedetomidine), an E1 group (0.1 mg kg-1 esketamine + dexmedetomidine), and an E2 group (0.2 mg kg-1 esketamine + dexmedetomidine). The primary outcome was the maximum visual analogue scale (VAS) (score: 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain) at six time points. The secondary outcomes included the Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (OAA/S) score and mean arterial pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2) at 11 time points. The incidence of adverse reactions during and 24 h after the operation and patient satisfaction with the anesthesia were also recorded. RESULTS Compared with those in group C, the VAS scores of patients in groups E1 and E2 were lower at T6, T7, and T9 (P < 0.05). From T4 to T10, the OAA/S scores of the E1 and E2 groups were both lower than those of group C (P < 0.05), and at the T4-T6 time points, the OAA/S score of the E2 group was lower than that of group E1 (P < 0.05). At T4 and T5, the HR and BP of patients in groups E1 and E2 were greater than those in group C (P < 0.05). Compared with those in group C, the incidences of intraoperative illusion, floating sensation, postoperative dizziness, and hyperalgesia in groups E1 and E2 were significantly greater (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in patient RR, SpO2, or postoperative satisfaction with anesthesia among the three groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The combination of esketamine and dexmedetomidine can reduce VAS scores during certain stages of this type of surgery; it has minimal impact on respiration and circulation. However, this approach is associated with increased incidences of postoperative dizziness and psychiatric side effects, which may also affect patients' compliance with surgical instructions from medical staff. Patient satisfaction was not greater with dexmedetomidine combined with esketamine than with dexmedetomidine alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION http://www.chictr.org.cn . Identifier: ChiCTR2300068206.

Abstract
This paper presents a numeric study of the dynamic stabilization of the ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability (ARTI) in the presence of a temporally modulated laser pulse. The results show that the specially modulated laser produces a dynamically stabilized configuration near the ablation front. The physical features of the relevant laser-driven parameters in the unperturbed ablative flows have been analyzed to reveal the inherent stability mechanism underlying the dynamically stabilized configuration. A single-mode ARTI for the modulated laser pulse is first compared with that of the unmodulated laser pulse. The results show that the modulated laser stabilizes the surface perturbations and reduces the linear growth rate and enhancement of the cutoff wavelength. For multimode perturbations, the dynamic stabilization effect of the modulated laser pulse contributes to suppress the small-scale structure and reduce the width of the mixing layer. Moreover, the results show that the stabilization effect of the modulated laser pulse decreases as the maximum wavelength increases.

Abstract
Exceptional points (EPs) have recently emerged as a new method for engineering the response of open physical systems, that is, systems that interact with the environment. The systems at the EPs exhibit a strong response to a small perturbation. Here, we show a method by which the sensitivity of silicon resonant sensors can be enhanced when operated at EPs. In our experiments, we use a pair of mechanically coupled silicon micromechanical resonators constituting a parity-time (PT)-symmetric dimer. Small perturbations introduced on the mechanically coupled spring cause the frequency to split from the EPs into the PT-symmetric regime without broadening the two spectrum linewidths, and this frequency splitting scales with the square root of the perturbation strength. The overall signal-to-noise ratio is still greatly enhanced, although the measured noise spectral density of the EP sensing scheme has a slight increase comparable to the traditional counterpart. Our results pave the way for resonant sensors with ultrahigh sensitivity.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) in children. Methods: Twenty-five children with ACC diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China from March 2014 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The related literature was reviewed. Results: A total of 25 children with ACC were collected, including 11 males and 14 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.0∶1.3. The patient ages ranged from 8 months to 14 years (median, 4 years). Eighteen cases with clinical data had functional tumors (18/22, 81.8%) presenting with virilization or precocious puberty (15/18), symptoms related to hypercortisolism (8/18) or endocrine symptoms mixed with both (5/18), while 3 cases (3/22, 13.6%) had unknown clinical data. The clinical manifestations of four patients with nonfunctional tumors were an abdominal mass and/or abdominal pain, walking instability and others. Grossly, the average maximum diameter of the tumor was 9.4 cm. Most of the tumors were nodular and partially encapsuled. The cut surfaces were gray or gray brown, soft with hemorrhage. Histologically, the tumor cells were diffusely distributed, separated by a vascular-rich network. The tumor cells were large, with distinct nucleoli, abundant eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm, and round or oval nuclei. The mitotic index was high, and atypical mitoses were common. Necrosis, calcification, capsule invasion or/and venous invasion were present. In some cases, the tumor invaded the surrounding soft tissues or kidneys. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for syn and SF1 and focally positive for α-inhibin, Melan A and Calretinin, but negative for CgA. Ki-67 proliferation index ranged from 2%-90%. TP53 gene status was examined in 7 cases, in which mutations were detected in 4 cases. Follow-up data was obtained in 21 patients, among whom 18 received chemotherapy and 3 received radiotherapy. Distant metastasis occurred in 13 patients. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.2 months and median overall survival (OS) was 54.7 months. Patients aged less than 5 years had a better prognosis for OS (P<0.05) than the older ones (≥5 years), but a similar PFS (P>0.05). Male patients and Ki-67 proliferation index <15% had a better prognosis tendency for OS, but there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions: ACC in children is a rare, often functional tumor associated with Li-Fraumeni genetic syndrome and has a poor prognosis. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis require a combination of morphological, phenotypic and clinical analysis.

Abstract
Giardia duodenalis is a gastrointestinal protozoan ubiquitous in nature. It is a confirmed zoonotic pathogen, and cattle are considered a source of giardiasis outbreaks in humans. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and multilocus genotype (MLG) of G. duodenalis in dairy cattle in Central Inner Mongolia. This study was based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh), triosephosphate isomerase (tpi), and beta-giardin (bg) genes of G. duodenalis. DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and sequence analysis were performed on 505 dairy cattle fecal samples collected in 2021 from six sampling sites and four age groups in Central Inner Mongolia to determine the prevalence and MLG distribution of G. duodenalis. The PCR results of SSU rRNA revealed that the overall prevalence of G. duodenalis was 29.5% (149/505) and that the overall prevalence of the diarrhea and nondiarrhea samples was 31.5% (46/146) and 28.5% (103/359), respectively; the difference was not significant (p > 0.05). SSU rRNA sequence analysis revealed that G. duodenalis assemblage E (91.1%, 133/146) was primarily detected and that assemblage A (8.9%, 13/146) was detected in 13 samples. The G. duodenalis-positive samples were PCR amplified and sequenced for gdh, tpi, and bg, from which 38, 47, and 70 amplified sequences were obtained, respectively. A combination of G. duodenalis assemblages A and E were detected in seven samples. Multilocus genotyping yielded 25 different assemblage E MLGs, which formed six subgroups. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report regarding G. duodenalis infection in dairy cattle in Inner Mongolia, China. This study revealed that Inner Mongolian cattle pose a risk of giardiasis transmission to humans and that the distribution of local cattle G. duodenalis assemblage E MLGs is diverse. The findings of this study can bridge the knowledge gap in the molecular epidemiological investigation of giardiasis in Central Inner Mongolia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryptosporidium is a gastrointestinal protozoan that widely exists in nature, it is an established zoonotic pathogen. Infected cattle are considered to be associated with cryptosporidiosis outbreaks in humans. In the present study, we aimed to assess the prevalence and species distribution of Cryptosporidium in dairy cattle in Central Inner Mongolia. METHODS We focused on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU rRNA) of Cryptosporidium and 60-kDa glycoprotein gene (gp60) of Cryptosporidium parvum. We collected 505 dairy cattle manure samples from 6 sampling sites in Inner Mongolia in 2021; the samples were divided into 4 groups based on age. DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequence analysis, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) using SspI and MboII restriction endonucleases were performed. RFLP analysis was performed to determine the prevalence and species distribution of Cryptosporidium. RESULTS SSU rRNA PCR revealed that the overall prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection was 29.90% (151/505), with a prevalence of 37.67% (55/146) and 26.74% (96/359) in diarrheal and nondiarrheal samples, respectively; these differences were significant. The overall prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection at the 6 sampling sites ranged from 0 to 47.06% and that among the 4 age groups ranged from 18.50 to 43.81%. SSU rRNA sequence analysis and RFLP analysis revealed the presence of 4 Cryptosporidium species, namely, C. bovis (44.37%), C. andersoni (35.10%), C. ryanae (21.85%), and C. parvum (11.92%), along with a mixed infection involving two or three Cryptosporidium species. Cryptosporidium bovis or C. andersoni was the most common cause of infection in the four age groups. The subtype of C. parvum was successfully identified as IIdA via gp60 analysis; all isolates were identified as the subtype IIdA19G1. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of dairy cattle infected with four Cryptosporidium species in Inner Mongolia, China, along with a mixed infection involving two or three Cryptosporidium species, with C. bovis and C. andersoni as the dominant species. Moreover, this is the first study to identify C. parvum subtype IIdA19G1 in cattle in Inner Mongolia. Our study findings provide detailed information on molecular epidemiological investigation of bovine cryptosporidiosis in Inner Mongolia, suggesting that dairy cattle in this region are at risk of transmitting cryptosporidiosis to humans.

Abstract
Objective: To establish and validate a risk prediction model of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) by the screening independent risk factors for the occurrence of DIC in patients with electrical burns. Methods: The retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 218 electrical burn patients admitted to Baogang Hospital of Inner Mongolia from January 2015 to January 2023 who met the inclusion criteria were collected, including 198 males and 20 females, with the age of (38±14) years. The patients were divided into DIC group and non DIC group based on whether they were diagnosed with DIC during the treatment period. The following data of patients of two groups were collected and compared, including age, gender, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, injury voltage, whether osteofascial compartment syndrome occurred within 1 day after injury, duration of stay in burn intensive care unit, total length of hospital stay, whether combined with inhalation injury and multiple injuries, whether shock occurred upon admission, the abbreviated burn severity index score, and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ score. The laboratory examination data of the patients within 24 hours after admission were also collected, including blood routine indexes: white blood cell count (WBC), hemoglobin level, platelet count (PLT), and neutrophil count; coagulation indexes: activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time, thrombin time, and levels of D-dimer and fibrinogen (FIB); blood biochemistry indexes: aspartic transaminase, alanine transaminase, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, total protein, albumin, blood glucose, creatinine, and urea nitrogen; blood gas analysis indexes: blood pH value, arterial partial pressure of oxygen, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and base excess; and cardiac zymogram indexes: levels of myoglobin, troponin, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase (CK), and α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, independent sample t test, and Mann-Whitney U test. For the variables with statistically significant differences in single factor analysis, the least absolute value selection and shrinkage operator (LASSO) regression was used to reduce the dimension, and the predictive factors for DIC in 218 patients with electrical burns were screened. The above-mentioned predictors were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to find out the independent risk factors for DIC in 218 patients with electrical burns, and to draw the prediction model nomograms. The performance of the prediction model was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the ROC curve, and the prediction model was validated by the calibration curve and clinical decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Compared with those in non DIC group, the total burn area, full-thickness burn area, total length of hospital stay, and the proportions of high voltage caused injury, occurrence of osteofascial compartment syndrome within 1 day after injury, combination of inhalation injury, and occurrence of shock upon admission of patients in DIC group were significantly increased/prolonged (with Z values of -2.53, -4.65, and -2.10, respectively, with χ2 values of 11.46, 16.00, 7.98, and 18.93, respectively, P<0.05). Compared with those in non DIC group, the APTT, level of D-dimer, myoglobin, WBC, PLT, and levels of FIB, total bilirubin, and CK of patients within 24 hours after admission in DIC group were significantly prolonged/increased (with Z values of -2.02, -4.51, and -3.82, respectively, with t values of -3.84, -2.34, -2.77, -2.70, and -2.61, respectively), and the level of total protein and blood pH value were significantly reduced (t=-2.85, Z=-2.03), P<0.05. LASSO regression analysis was carried out for the above 17 indicators with statistically significant differences. The results showed that injury voltage, the occurrence of shock upon admission, the occurrence of osteofascial compartment syndrome within 1 day after injury, and levels of D-dimer and total protein within 24 hours after admission were predictive factors for the occurrence of DIC in 218 patients with electrical burns (with regression coefficients of 0.24, 0.52, 0.35, 0.13, and -0.001, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that injury voltage, the occurrence of shock upon admission, the occurrence of osteofascial compartment syndrome within 1 day after injury, and D-dimer level within 24 hours after admission were independent risk factors for DIC in 218 patients with electrical burns (with odds ratios of 3.33, 4.24, 2.68, and 1.38, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals of 1.43-7.79, 1.78-10.07, 1.17-6.13, and 1.19-1.61, respectively, P<0.05). Based on the aforementioned four independent risk factors, the nomogram of prediction model for evaluating the probability of DIC in patients was drawn. The area under the ROC curve of prediction model was 0.88, and the 95% confidence interval was 0.82-0.95, indicating that the model had good predictive ability; the curve of prediction model tended to be near the ideal curve, indicating that the model had a high calibration degree; the clinical DCA of prediction model showed that the threshold probability of patients ranged from 4% to 97%, indicating that the model had good predictive ability. Conclusions: The injury voltage, the occurrence of shock upon admission, the occurrence of osteofascial compartment syndrome within 1 day after injury, and D-dimer level within 24 hours after admission are independent risk factors for the occurrence of DIC in patients with electrical burns. The prediction model established based on the above indicators can provide early warning for the occurrence of DIC in these patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic features of primary adrenal NK/T cell lymphoma (PANKL). Methods: Six cases of PANKL were collected at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2000 to December 2021. The clinicopathologic features including morphology, immunophenotype, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. Results: There were two males and four females. The median age was 63 years (ranged from 57 to 68 years). The tumors involved bilateral adrenal glands in 4 cases and unilateral adrenal gland in 2 cases. The main clinical symptom was low back pain without obvious cause. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is elevated in five cases. The imaging feature was rapidly enlarging mass initially confined to unilateral/bilateral adrenal glands. Morphologically, the lymphoid cells were mainly medium-sized with a diffuse growth pattern. Coagulative necrosis and nuclear fragmentation were common. Angioinvasion was seen. Immunophenotypically, the neoplastic cells were positive for CD3, CD56 and TIA-1 while CD5 was negative in 5 cases. All cases were positive for EBER by in situ hybridization with more than 80% proliferative activity by Ki-67. Four cases received chemotherapy, one case underwent surgery, and one case underwent surgery with chemotherapy. Follow-up was done in 5 cases; one case was lost to follow-up. Three patients died with a median survival of 11.6 months (3-42 months). Conclusions: PANKL is rare with highly aggressive clinical presentation and poor prognosis. Accurate diagnosis entails correlation of histomorphology, immunohistochemistry, EBER in situ hybridization and clinical history.

Abstract
Acute and chronic wounds seriously threaten patients' life health and quality of life, therefore, wound repair has become a hot topic of research for scholars at home and abroad in recent years. With the development of material science and tissue engineering, more and more biomaterials prepared from natural ingredients were used in basic research and clinical treatment of wound repair. Such biomaterials can be used as templates for wound tissue regeneration to induce autologous cell adhesion and migration, and promote the deposition of extracellular matrix, which have broad clinical application prospects. This paper reviews the characteristics and application advance of natural biomaterials which are popular in the field of wound repair, aiming to provide ideas for the research and development of new wound dressing and tissue engineering skin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exertional heatstroke (EHS) is an emergency with a high mortality rate, characterized by central nervous system dysfunctions. This study aims to establish a Heat acclimation/acclimatization (HA) rat model in locomotion to recapitulate the physical state of human in severe environment of high temperature and humidity, and investigate the mechanism of organism protection in HA. (2) Methods: Wistar rats were exposed to 36°C and ran 2 h/d for 21 days, acquired thermal tolerance test was conducted to assess the thermotolerance and exercise ability. Core temperature and consumption of water and food were observed. Expression of HSP70 and HSP90 of different tissues were determined by WB. Pathological structure of brain tissue was detected with HE staining. Proteomics was used to identify the differently expressed proteins in cerebral cortex of different groups. And key molecules were identified by RT-PCR and WB. (3) Results: HA rats displayed stronger thermotolerance and exercised ability on acquired thermal tolerance test. Brain water content of HA+EHS group reduced compared with EHS group. HE staining revealed slighter brain injuries of HA+EHS group than that of EHS. Proteomics focused on cell death-related pathways and key molecules Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) related to cell edema. Identification results showed HA increased AQP4, Bcl-xl, ratio of p-Akt/AKT and Bcl-xl/Bax, down-regulated Cleaved Caspase-3. (4) Conclusions: This HA model can ameliorate brain injury of EHS by reducing cerebral edema and cell apoptosis, offering experimental evidence for EHS prophylaxis.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Escherichia coli causing bloodstream and abdominal co-infection (CoECO), and provide clues for empirical antibiotics treatment. Methods: The strains of Escherichia coli isolated from blood and abdominal samples in the Department of Laboratory Medicine of the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from 2010 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Mass spectrometer was used to identify all of the strains and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were detected by VITEK 2 Compact. All isolates were sequenced by 2×150 bp double terminal sequencing strategy on the HiSeq X Ten sequencer (Illumina). After the genome sequence was spliced, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of the strain sequence was performed using kSNP3 software to clarify the homologous relationship between strains. If the strains isolated from two different parts had high homology, they were regarded as the same strain and the case was with CoECO infection. Meanwhile, the multilocus sequence type (MLST) was determined using PubMLST website and resistant genes were screened by CARD website. Results: A total of 70 cases of CoECO infection were screened, including 45 males and 25 females, and aged (59.2±16.3) years old. The 70 CoECO isolates belonged to 35 sequence types (STs). The most prevalent STs included ST38 (n=6), ST 405 (n=6), ST 1193 (n=6) and ST131 (n=5), and other ST types contained less than 5 strains. The homologous relationship among strains was relatively scattered, presenting a sporadic trend as a whole, and only a few strains had a small-scale outbreak. The CoECO isolates showed significantly resistance to ampicillin (91.4%, 64/70), ampicillin/sulbactam (74.3%, 5 2/70), ceftriaxone (72.9%, 51/70), ciprofloxacin (71.4%, 50/70) and levofloxacin (71.4%, 50/70), and high-sensitivity to piperacillin/tazobactam, carbapenems and amikacin. The most prevalent resistant gene was tet (A/B) (70%, 49/70), followed by blaTEM (58.6%, 41/70), sul1 (55.7%, 40/70), sul2 (54.3%, 38/70), blaCTX-M-14(25.7%, 18/70), blaCTX-M-15(17.1%, 13/70), blaCTX-M-55(15.7%, 11/70), blaCTX-M-64/65(5.7%, 4/70), blaCTX-M-27(4.3%, 3/70), mcr-1 (4.3%, 3/70), blaNDM-5(2.9%, 2/70). Conclusions: CoECO is distributed dispersedly and has no obvious advantage clone. No genotype with obvious advantages was found. Although the strain has a high resistance rate to some antibacterial drugs, the proportion of carrying resistant genes is low, and it has a high sensitivity to some first-line antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignancy and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), an important cell type in the tumor microenvironment, play an important role in GC development. In this review, we describe the current knowledge of CAFs' heterogeneity and their role in GC invasion and metastasis. Currently, CAF-targeted cancer therapies are being rapidly explored and developed. However, the heterogeneity of CAFs limits the application of this therapy, so it is urgent to find specific markers and divide them into different subpopulations. With the development of single-cell RNA sequencing technology, researchers have used this technology to classify CAFs in many tumors, but whether it is applicable to GC and other tumors needs further study. And we believe that this technology will be in the near future utilized to sort CAFs on the basis of different cell markers and functions, so as to target tumor-promoting CAFs and inhibit tumor progression. Targeting CAFs by cell surface markers or normalizing the activated CAFs subsets may be an effective therapy, alone or in combination with other therapeutic approaches for GC treatment. Therefore, in the coming decades, the interaction between CAFs and GC cells will be still the focus of our research.

Abstract
Ticks were identified as arthropods that are pathogenic vectors. Dermacentor nuttalli is one of the dominant tick species in Inner Mongolia, and it carries and transmits a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. However, at present, only the detection of D. nuttalli adult ticks and D. nuttalli different developmental stages carrying one specific pathogen, or the next-generation sequencing of D. nuttalli adult ticks were available. In this study, we investigated the microbial community structures of D. nuttalli in different growth stages under laboratory artificial feeding conditions. Total DNA was extracted from seven growth stages (female adult ticks, eggs, larval ticks, engorged larval ticks, nymphal ticks, engorged nymphal ticks, and second-generation adult ticks) obtained from laboratory artificial feeding of engorged D. nuttalli female ticks in Inner Mongolia. Then, the 16S rDNA V3-V4 hypervariable region was amplified to construct an Illumina PE250 library. Finally, 16S rRNA sequencing was performed on Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform. The sequencing data were analyzed using molecular biology software and platforms. The Illumina PE250 sequencing results showed that the egg stage had the highest diversity and number of species (28.74%, 98/341), while the engorged nymph stage had the lowest diversity and number of species (9.72%, 21/216). A total of 387 genera of 22 phyla were annotated in D. nuttalli, with 9 phyla and 57 genera found throughout all 7 growth stages. The dominant phylum was Proteobacteria; the dominant genera were Arsenophonus and Rickettsia; and the genera with the highest relative abundance in the 7 growth stages were Pseudomonas, Paenalcaligenes, Arsenophonus, Arsenophonus, Pseudomonas, Arsenophonus, and Rickettsia, respectively. Among the 23 exact species annotated, Brucella melitensis exhibits pathogeny that poses a serious threat to humans and animals. In this study, the microbial community composition at different growth stages of D. nuttalli was comprehensively analyzed for the first time.

Abstract
Mutations V32I, I50V and I84V in the HIV-1 protease (PR) induce drug resistance towards drug amprenavir (APV). Multiple short molecular dynamics (MSMD) simulations and molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) method were utilized to investigate drug-resistant mechanism of V32I, I50V and I84V towards APV. Dynamic information arising from MSMD simulations suggest that V32I, I50V and I84V highly affect structural flexibility, motion modes and conformational behaviours of two flaps in the PR. Binding free energies calculated by MM-GBSA method suggest that the decrease in binding enthalpy and the increase in binding entropy induced by mutations V32I, I50V and I84V are responsible for drug resistance of the mutated PRs on APV. The energetic contributions of separate residues on binding of APV to the PR show that V32I, I50V and I84V highly disturb the interactions of two flaps with APV and mostly drive the decrease in binding ability of APV to the PR. Thus, the conformational changes of two flaps in the PR caused by V32I, I50V and I84V play key roles in drug resistance of three mutated PR towards APV. This study can provide useful dynamics information for the design of potent inhibitors relieving drug resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The relationship of a diet low in fibre with mortality has not been evaluated. This study aims to assess the burden of non-communicable chronic diseases (NCD) attributable to a diet low in fibre globally from 1990 to 2019. DESIGN All data were from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019, in which the mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALY) and years lived with disability (YLD) were estimated with Bayesian geospatial regression using data at global, regional and country level acquired from an extensively systematic review. SETTING All data sourced from the GBD Study 2019. PARTICIPANTS All age groups for both sexes. RESULTS The age-standardised mortality rates (ASMR) declined in most GBD regions; however, in Southern sub-Saharan Africa, the ASMR increased from 4·07 (95 % uncertainty interval (UI) (2·08, 6·34)) to 4·60 (95 % UI (2·59, 6·90)), and in Central sub-Saharan Africa, the ASMR increased from 7·46 (95 % UI (3·64, 11·90)) to 9·34 (95 % UI (4·69, 15·25)). Uptrends were observed in the age-standardised YLD rates attributable to a diet low in fibre in a number of GBD regions. The burden caused by diabetes mellitus increased in Central Asia, Southern sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe. CONCLUSIONS The burdens of disease attributable to a diet low in fibre in Southern sub-Saharan Africa and Central sub-Saharan Africa and the age-standardised YLD rates in a number of GBD regions increased from 1990 to 2019. Therefore, greater efforts are needed to reduce the disease burden caused by a diet low in fibre.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of ultra-pulsed fractional carbon dioxide laser (UFCL) in the treatment of mild to moderate microstomia after burns. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 19 patients with mild to moderate microstomia after burns who were admitted to Inner Mongolia Baogang Hospital from January 2018 to January 2022, including 15 males and 4 females aged (35±14) years. Patients had an average course of 71 d of microstomia, with 8 cases of moderate microstomia and 11 cases of mild microstomia. All the patients received UFCL treatment every 2-3 months until the microstomia was corrected or the treatment bottleneck was reached. The times of UFCL treatment for patients and the time interval from the last treatment to the last follow-up were recorded. Before the first treatment and at the last follow-up, the opening degree of mouth (finger measurement method), oral gap width, and the distance between the upper and lower incisors during mouth opening were recorded. Before the first treatment and at the last treatment, the new Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the scar. At the last follow-up, the degree of satisfaction was evaluated by the Likert 5 scale by the patients themselves, and the satisfaction ratio was calculated; the adverse reactions such as pigmentation, blisters, infection, and persistent erythema in the treatment area were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney rank sum test or paired sample t test. Results: Patients received UFCL treatment of 3 (2, 6) times. The interval from the last treatment to the last follow-up was 26 months at most and 4 months at least. At the last follow-up, the opening degree of mouth of patients was significantly improved than that before treatment (Z=4.68, P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the oral gap width of patients was (35±6) mm, and the distance between upper and lower incisors during mouth opening was (3.2±0.4) cm, which was significantly improved compared with those before treatment (with t values of 10.73 and 18.97, respectively, P<0.01). The VSS score after the last treatment was 4.1±1.6, which was significantly better than that before treatment (t=22.96, P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the satisfaction ratio of patients with treatment was 18/19, and no pigmentation, blisters, infection, persistent erythema, and other adverse reactions of all patients in the treatment area occurred, however, one of the patients reported that the disease recurred about half a year after treatment. Conclusions: UFCL is an effective method for treating mild to moderate microstomia after burns, with which patients are highly satisfied, and it is worth of further study and promotion.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the establishment of trachea respiratory passage invided by advanced thyroid malignant tumor. Methods: Review of 14 cases with the establishment of trachea respiratory passage invided by advanced thyroid cancer was conducted who were treated at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Zhongda Hospital Southeast University between 2016 and 2020. There were 5 males and 9 females, aged from 24-79 years old. Shin grade was as follows,5 cases with Ⅱ grade, 6 with Ⅲ grade, and 3 with Ⅳ grade. Based on the conditions of tracheal compression and tumor extent, three types of managements were used: patients with the narrowest tracheal diameter>5 mm (8 cases with dyspnea Ⅰ-Ⅱ, Shin grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ) were applied with local surface anesthesia and conscious endotracheal intubation after sedation and analgesia; patients with the narrowest tracheal diameter with 4-5 mm (3 cases with dyspnea Ⅱ, Shin grade Ⅳ) needed tracheotomy with local anesthesia by supplying oxygen with a mask; patients with the narrowest tracheal diameter<4 mm (3 cases with dyspnea Ⅲ, Shin grade Ⅲ) needed tracheotomy with extracorporeal circulation. Results: Respiratory passages for general anesthesia were safely established in all 14 patients, of whom 12 cases with differentiated thyroid carcinoma were treated with surgery, and 2 cases with undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma and B-cell lymphoma was treated with tracheotomy and then treated with chemotherapy in the Oncology or Hematology Department. All patients were followed-up for 2-22 months and survived without tumors, but one patient with undifferentiated carcinoma survived for 3 months. Conclusion: Respiratory passage can be established quickly and safe in advanced thyroid malignant tumor. This provides a necessary safety for patients who are needed surgical treatment and also an opportunity for patients undergoing other treatments.

Abstract
Melophagus ovinus (sheep ked) is one of the common ectoparasites in sheep. In addition to causing direct damage to the host through biting and sucking blood, sheep ked is a potential vector of helminths, protozoa, bacteria, and viruses. Sheep M. ovinus samples from three regions in Tibet were selected for DNA extraction. The 16S rDNA V3-V4 hypervariable region was amplified, after genomic DNA fragmentation, Illumina Hiseq libraries were constructed. The 16S rRNA sequencing and viral metagenomics sequencing were separately conducted on the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform and molecular biology software and platforms were employed to analyze the sequencing data. Illumina PE250 sequencing results demonstrated that the dominant bacteria phylum in M. ovinus from Tibet, China was Proteobacteria, where 29 bacteria genera were annotated. The dominant bacterial genera were Bartonella, Wolbachia, and Arsenophonus; Bartonella chomelii, Wolbachia spp., and Arsenophonus spp. were the dominant bacterial species in M. ovinus from Tibet, China. We also detected Kluyvera intermedia, Corynebacterium maris DSM 45190, Planomicrobium okeanokoites, and Rhodococcus erythropolis, of which the relative abundance of Kluyvera intermedia was high. Illumina Hiseq sequencing results demonstrated that 4 virus orders were detected in M. ovinus from Tibet, China, and 3 samples were annotated into 29 families, 30 families, and 28 families of viruses, respectively. Virus families related to vertebrates and insects mainly included Mimiviridae, Marseilleviridae, Poxviridae, Ascoviridae, Iridoviridae, Baculoviridae, Hytrosaviridae, Nudiviridae, Polydnaviridae, Adomaviridae, Asfarviridae, Hepeviridae, Herpesviridae, and Retroviridae; at the species level, the relative abundance of Tupanvirus_soda_lake, Klosneuvirus_KNV1, and Indivirus_ILV1 was higher. African swine fever virus and many poxviruses from the family Poxviridae were detected, albeit their relative abundance was low. The dominant bacterial phylum of M. ovinus from Tibet, China was Proteobacteria, and the dominant bacterial genera were Bartonella, Wolbachia, and Arsenophonus, where 23 out of 29 annotated bacteria genera were first reported in M. ovinus. Kluyvera intermedia, Corynebacterium maris DSM 45190, Planomicrobium okeanokoites, and Rhodococcus erythropolis were detected for the first time. All DNA viruses detected in this study have been reported in M. ovinus for the first time.

Abstract
Human adenovirus (HAdV) infection causes excessive inflammation associated with severe tissue injury, such as pneumonia. The molecules involved in the underlying inflammatory mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) is mainly expressed on immune cells and lung tissues, and it is a key factor in the initiation and development of inflammation. RAGE can be cleaved by metalloprotease 9 (MMP9) to release the extracellular segment, which is named soluble RAGE (sRAGE), into the intercellular space, where it can bind to RAGE ligands and block RAGE activation and subsequent inflammation. In our study, we enrolled HAdV-infected patients and their contacts to examine the relationship between sRAGE and inflammation induced by HAdV infection. The results showed that HAdV infection stimulated inflammatory cytokine secretion, increased such as high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) levels, and suppressed sRAGE expression. sRAGE levels were significantly different between patients with or without pneumonia. We also found that MMP9 was significantly lower in patients with pneumonia, and it was positively correlated with sRAGE levels over 7 days after disease onset. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is an important immune activation signaling pathway that is regulated by RAGE. We observed the activation of the MAPK pathway in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients. Negative correlations between sRAGE and phosphorylated JNK and p38 were observed. These results suggest that sRAGE is involved in HAdV-induced inflammatory responses, and might be a potential therapeutic target to alleviate the HAdV-induced excessive inflammation.

Abstract
Objective The clinical manifestations and treatment of three patients with hemodynamically unstable lupus myocarditis (LM) were analyzed. Methods The clinical data of three patients with LM with hemodynamic instability, who were admitted to the emergency ICU of the south hospital of the Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2021, were collected and analyzed, and relevant literatures were reviewed. Results Two of the three patients had the first onset of systemic lupus erythematosus. The other patient had mixed connective tissue disease in the past, and lupus was the main manifestation of this disease. At the onset of the disease, all patients had chest tightness and shortness of breath; two patients had a fever, and the markers of myocardial injury increased. Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound indicated that left ventricular ejection fraction decreased significantly. Cardiac insufficiency with cardiogenic shock rapidly appeared as the main manifestation. Two patients immediately started veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), and ECMO was also started in one patient after a pacemaker placement was ineffective. For all three patients, high-dose hormones were given to control the primary disease, and then the ECMO machines were removed successfully. Conclusion VA-ECMO treatment should be implemented in patients with hemodynamically unstable LM as soon as possible to maintain the patient’s hemodynamics and help them overcome the crisis of cardiac dysfunction, allowing more time for primary disease treatment.

Abstract
The vital roles of R2R3-MYB transcription factors (TFs) in regulating stress response and phytohormone signaling have been thoroughly studied in numerous plant species, but the functions of these TFs in rubber tree are poorly understood. Rubber tree is the most important source of natural rubber but often suffers from various abiotic and biotic stresses that cause severe yield losses each year. In this study, we reported a novel MYB44 gene in rubber tree (named HbMYB44) and revealed its biological function. HbMYB44 was highly similar to AtMYB44 and clustered into subgroup 22. Transient expression indicated that HbMYB44 is a nuclear localized protein and displays transactivation activity at the C-terminus. HbMYB44 was ubiquitously expressed in rubber tree, and its expression was strongly induced by multiple phytohormones, drought stress, wounding, and H2O2 treatments. Furthermore, overexpression of HbMYB44 in Arabidopsis (OE) demonstrated that OE plants significantly enhanced stress tolerance, i.e., salt stress, osmotic stress, and drought stress. Additionally, HbMYB44 promoted recovery from root growth inhibition of OE plants caused by exogenous phytohormones (including abscisic acid, methyl jasmonic acid, gibberellic acid 3, and salicylic acid), but the opposite effect was present in response to ethephon. Interestingly, HbMYB44 increased the expression of its homologous genes and interacting protein-encoding genes in OE plants. Overall, HbMYB44 plays versatile functions in modulating multiple phytohormone signaling pathways and stress tolerance.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of mature T/NK cell lymphomas with aberrant CD20 or CD79α expression. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 641 cases of mature T/NK cell lymphoma diagnosed from January 2014 to December 2020 was performed, and 14 cases of CD20-positive and one case of CD79α-positive mature T/NK-cell lymphoma were identified. Histological examination, immunohistochemical characterization, in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus encoded early RNA (EBER), and PCR testing for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements were performed. Clinicopathological characteristics of these lymphomas were analyzed. Results: There were 13 males and 2 females, with a median age of 56 years. There were 8 cases of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), 3 cases of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL), 2 cases of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) and 2 cases of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Twelve cases were stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ lymphomas. The prognosis was overall poor. The histology, immunophenotype and TCR gene rearrangement were not significantly different from the corresponding types of lymphoma. Ki-67 proliferation index was over 70% in all cases. The expression of CD20 or CD79α was weak and heterogeneous. All 15 case of Ig gene rearrangement were polyclonal. Conclusions: Mature T/NK cell lymphoma with abnormal expression of CD20 or CD79α is rare, commonly found in advanced stage, and associated with poor prognosis. The expression of CD20 or CD79α in these cases is weaker than the corresponding mature T/NK cell lymphomas, while its proliferation index is higher. Histomorphology, extensive immunoprofiling and molecular detection are required for accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
With the aging of population and the development of social economy, the incidence of chronic wounds is increasing day by day, while the incidence of burns and trauma remains at a high level, making wound repair an increasingly concerned area in clinical practice. Thymosin β4 is a naturally occurring small molecule protein in vivo, which is widely distributed in a variety of body fluids and cells, especially in platelets. Thymosin β4 has biological activities of promoting angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and anti-fibrosis, and has many important functions in wound repair. Thymosin β4 has been observed to promote the healing of various wounds, such as burns, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers. This paper will review the molecular structure, mechanism of wound healing promotion, pharmacokinetics, and clinical application of thymosin β4, aiming to introduce its potential in wound treatment and the shortcomings of current researches.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are minute particles secreted by the cells of living organisms, which can encapsulate various bioactive molecules for long-distance transport to present biological functions. With the recent studies on parasite-host interactions, EVs, as a carrier for long-distance transport of worm-derived molecules, have been paid much attention during the across-species regulation of hosts. During schistosome infections, adult worms and eggs have been found to mediate hosts via secretion of EVs. This review presents the advances in the studies on schistosome-host interactions mediated by EVs.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features as well as BRAF V600E and MYD88 L265P mutation status of nodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma (NMZL). Methods: Thirty-two cases of NMZL were diagnosed from September 2009 to February 2021 at the Henan Provincial People's Hospital and Peking University School of Basic Medical Sciences. The clinicopathologic characteristics were obtained and analyzed. BRAF V600E and MYD88 L265P mutation status were identified using PCR and Sanger sequencing, respectively. Results: There were 20 males and 12 females patients with a median age of 69 years (ranging 36-82 years). The most prevalent clinical manifestation was multiple lymph nodes enlargement in head and neck (22/32, 68.8%), followed by inguinal (12/32, 37.5%), axillary (11/32, 34.4%), mediastinum (5/32, 15.6%) and retroperitoneal lymph nodes (4/32, 12.5%). Most of the patients were in Ann Arbor stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ (21 cases). The morphologic features included diffuse (24/32, 75.0%), nodular (5/32, 15.6%), interfollicular (2/32,6.3%) and perifollicular (1/32,3.1%) types. The tumor cells showed monocyte-like, centrocyte-like, small lymphocyte-like and plasma cell-like differentiation. Immunophenotyping revealed diffuse expression of CD20 in all tumor cells, whereas CD43 (11/32, 34.4%), bcl-2 (20/32, 62.5%), MNDA (13/32, 40.6%) and CD5 (2/32, 6.3%) were partially expressed. Ki-67 proliferation index varied from 10% to 40%. BRAF V600E mutation was found in two cases (2/32, 6.3%), but MYD88 L265P mutation was not detected. Eighteen patients survived and three died at the end of follow-up period which ranged 6 to 110 months. Conclusions: The morphologic features of NMZL varies across individuals, it should be differentiated from various B-cell lymphomas; however immunological biomarkers with high specificity for NMZL are still lacking. No MYD88 L265P mutation is found in NMZL. Some cases may harbor BRAF V600E mutation and yet the prevalence remains indeterminate; further researches are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vertical invasion of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is associated with poor prognosis. The usual vertical invasion route is directly downward or along the skin appendages. High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) can be used to measure the EMPD lesion thickness, and visualize the pseudopod extensions due to skin appendage involvement. It is a non-invasive method for evaluating the extent of vertical invasion in EMPD. OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of HFUS in predicting the extent of vertical invasion in EMPD. METHODS In this retrospective study, 85 patients with EMPD were divided into two groups based on the pathology: invasive EMPD (iEMPD) group (n = 13) and in situ EMPD group (n = 72). The clinical and HFUS features of both the groups were analyzed. The different types of pseudopodia morphology on HFUS were as follows: no pseudopodia, irregular bottom, small sphere, short strip, long strip, vase shape, and nodular convex. These were further stratified into low-risk and high-risk levels. RESULTS The clinical features were comparable between the two groups (P > .05). There were significant differences between the two groups in the HFUS features (lesion thickness, lesion shape, bottom shape, layer involvement, pseudopodia morphology, and color Doppler blood flow signal; all P < .05). The distribution of the pseudopodia morphology types in the in situ EMPD and iEMPD groups, was as follows: no pseudopodia, 30/72 and 0/13; irregular bottom, 5/72 and 0/13; small sphere, 5/72 and 0/13; short strip, 21/72 and 0/13; long strip, 8/72 and 3/13; vase shape, 3/72 and 3/13; and nodular convex, 0/72 and 7/13 (P < .05 for all). The sensitivity and specificity of high-risk pseudopodia in identifying iEMPD were 100% and 84.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS HFUS provides morphological information regarding EMPD lesions. Risk stratification for pseudopodia can help to distinguish between iEMPD and in situ EMPD lesions.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of Neuroform EZ stent in the treatment of severe intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). Methods: A total of 36 patients with severe ICAS receiving Neuroform EZ stent angioplasty were retrospectively analyzed at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from July 2018 to January 2020. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) before endovascular intervention confirmed the diagnosis. Follow-up information was reviewed by neurologists at 30 days and 6 months after the procedure. The primary endpoints were transient ischemic attack (TIA), ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke and death caused by any reason within 30 days. Results: The overall technical success rate was 100%. The median stenosis rate was reduced from 93.6%±4.5% to 18.8%±11.2% (t=37.36,P<0.001).Primary endpoint event was not reported. During follow-up, one patient developed TIA and no death or ischemic stroke was observed. No in-stent restenosis at six months occurred. Conclusion: Neuroform EZ stent is safe and effective in patients with severe ICAS. However, perspective studies need to be operated for further validation via long-term follow-up.

Abstract
The damage of sweat glands in patients with extensive deep burns results in the loss of thermoregulation, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. At present, there are many researches on the repair of sweat gland function, but the mechanism of human sweat gland development has not been fully clarified. More and more studies have shown that the cascaded pathways of Wnt/β-catenin, ecto- dysplasin A/ectodysplasin A receptor/nuclear factor-κB, sonic hedgehog, and forkhead box transcription factor jointly affect the development of sweat glands, and it has been reported that the cascaded signaling pathways can be used to achieve the reconstruction of sweat adenoid cells in vitro. This article reviews the signaling pathways that affect the development of sweat glands and their involvement in the reconstruction of sweat adenoid cells in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of chemotherapeutic treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is limited by drug resistance during. This severely compromises the long-term survival rate of patients. Therefore, reversing chemotherapy resistance in ESCC may improve the therapeutic outcome. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism of MUC1-C, the C-terminal transmembrane subunit of MUC1 (a transmembrane heterodimer protein), and its role in the reversal of cisplatin sensitivity in ESCC cells. METHODS We assessed the efficacy of GO-203, a cell-penetrating peptide, as a chemotherapeutic target of MUC1-C using cell proliferation, colony-forming, and transwell assays. Apoptosis was analyzed in GO-203-treated cells by flow cytometry. Tumor xenograft assay was performed in nude mice to corroborate our in vitro findings. RESULTS GO-203 treatment inhibited cell proliferation and restrained the migration and invasion of cisplatin-resistant ESCC. Moreover, targeting MUC1 resulted in enhanced apoptosis in GO-203-treated cells. These in vitro pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects of GO-203 in combination with cisplatin were validated by in vivo models. Significantly smaller tumor volumes were observed in ESCCs-xenografted nude mice treated with GO-203 in combination with cisplatin compared with mice treated with monotherapy or their control counterparts. We found that blocking MUC1-C with GO-203 significantly reversed the cisplatin resistance in ESCC via modulating Akt and ERK pathways. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that GO-203 may hold potential as an ancillary therapeutic molecule and a chemosensitizer to improve the outcomes of cisplatin-based chemotherapy especially in patients with cisplatin-resistant ESCC.

Abstract
With the wide application of microwave technology, concerns about its health impact have arisen. The signal transmission mode of the central nervous system and neurons make it particularly sensitive to electromagnetic exposure. It has been reported that abnormal release of amino acid neurotransmitters is mediated by alteration of p-SYN1 after microwave exposure, which results in cognitive dysfunction. As the phosphorylation of SYN1 is regulated by different kinases, in this study we explored the regulatory mechanisms of SYN1 fluctuations following microwave exposure and its subsequent effect on GABA release, aiming to provide clues on the mechanism of cognitive impairment caused by microwave exposure. In vivo studies with Timm and H&E staining were adopted and the results showed abnormality in synapse formation and neuronal structure, explaining the previously-described deficiency in cognitive ability caused by microwave exposure. The observed alterations in SYN1 level, combined with the results of earlier studies, indicate that SYN1 and its phosphorylation status (ser-553 and ser62/67) may play a role in the abnormal release of neurotransmitters. Thus, the role of Cdk5, the upstream kinase regulating the formation of p-SYN1 (ser-553), as well as that of MEK, the regulator of p-SYN1 (ser-62/67), were investigated both in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that Cdk5 was a negative regulator of p-SYN1 (ser-553) and that its up-regulation caused a decrease in GABA release by reducing p-SYN1 (ser-553). While further exploration still needed to elaborate the role of p-SYN1 (ser-62/67) for neurotransmitter release, MEK inhibition had was no impact on p-Erk or p-SYN1 (ser-62/67) after microwave exposure. In conclusion, the decrease of p-SYN1 (ser-553) may result in abnormalities in vesicular anchoring and GABA release, which is caused by increased Cdk5 regulated through Calpain-p25 pathway after 30 mW/cm2 microwave exposure. This study provided a potential new strategy for the prevention and treatment of microwave-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) infusion was reported to improve liver function in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC); however, whether the medication can improve outcome of these patients is poorly understood. METHODS This prospective, open-labeled, randomized controlled study enrolled 219 patients with HBV-related DLC who were divided into control group (n = 111) and umbilical cord-derived MSC (UC-MSC)-treated group (n = 108), then all of them received a follow-up check from October 2010 to October 2017. The treated patients received three times of UC-MSC infusions at 4-week intervals plus conventional treatment that was only used for control group. The overall survival rate and HCC-free survival rate were calculated as primary endpoints and the liver function and adverse events associated with the medication were also evaluated. RESULTS During the follow-up check period from 13 to 75th months, there was a significantly higher overall survival rate in the treated group than the control group, while the difference of the hepatocellular carcinoma event-free survival rate between the treated and control groups was not observed during the 75-month follow-up. UC-MSC treatment markedly improved liver function, as indicated by the levels of serum albumin, prothrombin activity, cholinesterase, and total bilirubin during 48 weeks of follow-up. No significant side effects or treatment-related complications were observed in the UC-MSC group. CONCLUSIONS Therapy of UC-MSC is not only well tolerated, but also significantly improves long-term survival rate, as well as the liver function in patients with HBV-related DLC. UC-MSC medication, therefore, might present a novel therapeutic approach for the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria have been shown to play vital roles during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) development. Currently, it is unclear whether mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants, which define mtDNA haplogroups and determine oxidative phosphorylation performance and reactive oxygen species production, are associated with COVID-19 risk. METHODS A population-based case-control study was conducted to compare the distribution of mtDNA variations defining mtDNA haplogroups between healthy controls (n = 615) and COVID-19 patients (n = 536). COVID-19 patients were diagnosed based on molecular diagnostics of the viral genome by qPCR and chest X-ray or computed tomography scanning. The exclusion criteria for the healthy controls were any history of disease in the month preceding the study assessment. MtDNA variants defining mtDNA haplogroups were identified by PCR-RFLPs and HVS-I sequencing and determined based on mtDNA phylogenetic analysis using Mitomap Phylogeny. Student's t-test was used for continuous variables, and Pearson's chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test was used for categorical variables. To assess the independent effect of each mtDNA variant defining mtDNA haplogroups, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with adjustments for possible confounding factors of age, sex, smoking and diseases (including cardiopulmonary diseases, diabetes, obesity and hypertension) as determined through clinical and radiographic examinations. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the most common investigated mtDNA variations (> 10% in the control population) at C5178a (in NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene, ND2) and A249d (in the displacement loop region, D-loop)/T6392C (in cytochrome c oxidase I gene, CO1)/G10310A (in ND3) were associated with a reduced risk of severe COVID-19 (OR = 0.590, 95% CI 0.428-0.814, P = 0.001; and OR = 0.654, 95% CI 0.457-0.936, P = 0.020, respectively), while A4833G (ND2), A4715G (ND2), T3394C (ND1) and G5417A (ND2)/C16257a (D-loop)/C16261T (D-loop) were related to an increased risk of severe COVID-19 (OR = 2.336, 95% CI 1.179-4.608, P = 0.015; OR = 2.033, 95% CI 1.242-3.322, P = 0.005; OR = 3.040, 95% CI 1.522-6.061, P = 0.002; and OR = 2.890, 95% CI 1.199-6.993, P = 0.018, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to explore the association of mtDNA variants with individual's risk of developing severe COVID-19. Based on the case-control study, we concluded that the common mtDNA variants at C5178a and A249d/T6392C/G10310A might contribute to an individual's resistance to developing severe COVID-19, whereas A4833G, A4715G, T3394C and G5417A/C16257a/C16261T might increase an individual's risk of developing severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Objectives
We create a procedure based on postconditioning and gradual reperfusion, “Volume Controlled Reperfusion Revascularization” method (VCR)in primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The aim of this experimental study is to assess feasibility and effect of VCR and if this method will attenuate reperfusion injury in microvascular obstruction.
Methods
VCR method, Basically, contemporaneous forward blood flow balloon inflation blocking at the occlusion site and prolonged distal reperfusion via aspiration catheter. Active NC balloon inflation at occlusion site, while keeping NC balloon inflation, aspiration catheter was positioned 10–15mm advanced of NC balloon, intra-aspiration catheter infusion of mixture solution (artery blood 10ml+ heparin NS 10ml), 20ml/min for 10mins, adjust volume and speed according to blood pressure and heart rate variation. Stent or DCB as usual. After several successful operation on RCA, 10 patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)with angiography confirmed proximal complete occlusion on dominant blood vessel were non-randomly enrolled (symptom to angiography <12h). 5 cases in VCR group with volume-controlled reperfusion revascularization method, 5 cases in control group with conventional PCI method. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) has been calculated by late gadolinium-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-cMRI). Base line information, angiographic features before and after procedure, in-hospital status and MVO were compared.
Results
Successful PCI procedure, safe in-hospital treatment and LGE-cMRI assessment for MVO. Group difference were found in age group and PCI to MRI interval (53.8±7.6 vs 70.2±4.44, P=0.0031; 7.4±2.3 vs 10.4±1.67, P=0.046) between VCR and control group, respectively. There was no statistic difference in other base line information, peak myocardial enzyme, and BNP. MVO and MVO mass ratio was significantly lower in VCR group (0.78±0.96 vs 2.80±1.37, P=0.0317; 0.00585±0.00080 vs 0.02493±0.01501, P=0.0372). TIMI III blood flow found in VCR group. Re-myocardial infraction nor target vessel revascularization was documented in-hospital or 30-days follow up.
Conclusion
Among the selected small sample cases, volume-controlled reperfusion method procedure was clinical safe and feasible without additional side effect. TIMI III blood flow and less MVO were documented.

Abstract
Paratuberculosis a contagious and chronic disease in domestic and wild ruminants, is caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). Typical clinical signs include intractable diarrhea, progressive emaciation, proliferative enteropathy, and mesenteric lymphadenitis. Paratuberculosis is endemic to many parts of the world and responsible for considerable economic losses. In this study, different types of paratuberculosis and MAP in sheep and goats were investigated in Inner Mongolia, a northern province in China contiguous with two countries and eight other provinces. A total of 4434 serum samples were collected from six cities in the western, central, and eastern regions of Inner Mongolia and analyzed using the ELISA test. In addition, tissue samples were collected from seven animals that were suspected to be infected with MAP. Finally, these tissues samples were analyzed by histopathological examination followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), IS1311 PCR-restriction enzyme analysis (PCR-REA), and a sequence analysis of five genes. Among all 4434 ruminant serum samples collected from the six cities in the western, central, and eastern regions of Inner Mongolia, 7.60% (337/4434) measured positive for the MAP antibody. The proportions of positive MAP antibody results for serum samples collected in the western, central, and eastern regions were 5.10% (105/2058), 6.63% (85/1282), and 13.44% (147/1094), respectively. For the seven suspected infected animals selected from the herd with the highest rate of positivity, the gross pathology and histopathology of the necropsied animals were found to be consistent with the pathological features of paratuberculosis. The PCR analysis further confirmed the diagnosis of paratuberculosis. The rest of the results demonstrated that herds of sheep and goats in Inner Mongolia were infected with both MAP type II and type III. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of the two subtypes of MAP strains in sheep and goats in Inner Mongolia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most common malignancies in children. Metastasis in NB is not uncommon. However, nasal metastases are rare. Here, we reported two pediatric cases of nasal metastases.
CASE SUMMARY Case 1 was a 3-year-old boy without a history of NB. Case 2 was a 10-year-old girl who had a history of NB for 6 years. Both of them presented with symptoms of nasal and sinus masses such as epistaxis or discharge from the nose. The radiologic imaging results revealed masses in the nasal cavity or nasopharynx in both cases and a mass in the right adrenal gland of case 1. The pathologic examination of biopsy samples of their nasal masses revealed “small round blue-cell tumor” along with abundant vascular fibrous septa. The tumor cells expressed synaptophysin, cluster of differentiation 56, chromogranin A, paired like homeobox protein 2B and a very high Ki67 index in both case but were negative for vimentin, desmin, leucocyte common antigen and cytokeratin. Myelocytomatosis viral related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived (MYCN) amplification was detected in both cases. Finally, the two cases were diagnosed as nasal metastases from NB based on the clinical and pathologic findings. The two patients affected by NB were > 18 mo old, the primary tumor location was adrenal gland, and they presented with multiple metastases.
CONCLUSION It is difficult to differentiate between metastatic NB in the nose and olfactory neuroblastoma in the absence of a history of NB. Paired like homeobox protein 2B can play an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of this disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The gold standard surgical therapy for patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection. Meanwhile, segmentectomy has emerged as an alternative choice with the advantage of fewer postoperative complications. The acceptance of this procedure remains controversial, and conflicting results exist in the retrospective trials. OBJECTIVES The aim of this meta-analysis was to analyze the survival outcomes of lobectomy versus segmentectomy in clinical stage I NSCLC. METHODS A computerized literature search was done on published trials in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to June 2019 to identify clinical trials. Lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and overall survival (OS) were measured as outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed in the Meta-analysis Revman 5.3 software. RESULTS A systematic literature search was conducted including seven studies. In this meta-analysis, the LCSS and OS in the lobectomy group were linked to a markedly lower trend in comparison to the segmentectomy group without significant statistical difference (P > 0.05), indicating that lobectomy confers an equivalent survival outcome compared with segmentectomy. CONCLUSION No significant differences were found in survival outcomes between lobectomy and segmentectomy. Further large-scale, prospective, randomized trials are needed to explore reasonable surgical treatments for early-stage lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dynamics of viral reservoir decay and naïve CD4 T-cell recovery between immunological non-responders (INR) and complete responders (CR) during long-term antiretroviral treatment (ART) are not fully known. METHODS Twenty-eight chronic HIV-infected individuals on 5-year ART were divided into two groups: INR (CD4 counts ≤350 cells/μL, n = 13) and CR (CD4 counts ≥500 cells/μL, n = 15). The levels of HIV DNA and cell-associated HIV RNA (CA-RNA), CD4 counts, naïve CD4 counts and their correlations were analyzed at baseline, years 1, 3 and 5 of ART between the two groups. Expression of PD-1 on CD4 T-cells was quantified by flow cytometry. Linear mixed effect models were used to estimate the change procession in repeated measurements over 5 years. Slopes of the above-mentioned indicators were estimated using participant-specific linear regressions, respectively. RESULTS INR maintained higher levels of HIV DNA and CA-RNA with higher percentages of PD-1+CD4 T-cells compared with CR during 5-year ART, concurrent with lower naïve CD4 T-cells. However, the rates of HIV DNA and CA-RNA decay in INR were not different from that in CR over time, and INR had higher rates of naïve CD4 T-cell percentage recovery. The baseline levels of HIV DNA were positively associated with the 5-year levels of HIV DNA, but negatively associated with the 5-year naïve CD4 counts. CONCLUSIONS INR maintained significantly higher viral reservoir and lower naïve CD4 T-cells compared with CR during 5-year ART, however, the rates of reservoir decay and naïve CD4 T-cell percentage growth within INR were not lower than that in CR over time.

Abstract
Feed enzymes may ameliorate reduced nutrient and energy digestibility in nursery pigs. The objective was to test effects of super-dosing phytase and fiber-degrading enzymes on digestibility of DM, GE, CP, AA, and Ca. We tested supplementing a super dose (added 1,500 FYT/kg) of phytase (Ronozyme Hi-Phos) with or without carbohydrase cocktail that contained 85 FXU β-xylanase/kg, 587 U/g endo-1,4-β-glucanase, 513 U/g endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase, 15,000 U/g hemicellulases, and 3,000 U/g pectinases in corn-soybean meal diets in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. Diets included 68% corn, 17% SBM, and a basal level of 500 FTU/kg of phytase, and were formulated to contain 2.50 Mcal/kg NE and 5.10 gSID Lys/Mcal NE. Eight ileal-cannulated nursery pigs (initial BW 10 kg) were fed 4 diets at 3.0 × maintenance DE (110 kcal per kg of BW0.75) for four 9-day periods in a double 4 × 4 Latin square. Apparent hindgut fermentation (AHF) was calculated as apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) minus apparent ileal digestibility (AID). Interactions between super-dosing phytase and carbohydrase cocktail were observed. Supplementing either carbohydrase cocktail or super dose phytase, but not their combination, increased (P < 0.05) diet AID of DM, GE, CP, and most AA by 4–5%-units. Supplementing super dose phytase increased (P < 0.05) AID of P by 16%-units and ATTD of P by 10%-units. Supplementing super dose phytase or carbohydrase cocktail did not affect AID of Ca and ATTD of GE, CP, and Ca, and diet DE value. Supplementing carbohydrase cocktail without super dose phytase decreased (P < 0.05) diet AHF of DM, GE, and CP. In conclusion, dietary inclusion of super dose phytase or carbohydrase cocktail increased ileal digestibility of nutrients in nursery pigs, and thereby reduced protein entering the large intestine. Additive or synergistic effects of carbohydrase cocktail and super dose phytase were not detected.

Abstract
Abstract
Heat processing may enhance nutrient digestibility of diets based on pulse grains. The objective of this study was to determine nutrient and energy digestibility of extruded lentil-based diets containing either supplemental plant or animal protein source in growing pigs. Two diets were formulated to provide 2.4 Mcal NE/kg and 4.35 g standardized ileal digestible Lys/Mcal NE: 1) soybean meal diet (SBM), containing 50% lentil, 31% wheat, and 12.8% soybean meal; and 2) fish meal diet (FM), containing 40% lentil, 45% wheat, and 10% fish meal. Following mixing, each diet was divided into 2 parts: one part remained mash while the other part was extruded using a single-screw extruder (105°C, 400 rpm, 5 kg water/h). The 2 extruded and 2 non-extruded diets were tested in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. Eight ileal-cannulated barrows (32.3 kg) were fed the 4 diets at 2.8 times maintenance DE (110 kcal per kg of BW0.75) for four 9-d periods in a double 4 × 4 Latin square. The FM diets had greater (P < 0.05) AID of DM, GE, and most AA, and ATTD of CP, but lower apparent hindgut fermentation of DM and GE than the SBM diets. The AID of CP and AA were 3.2 and 4.7%-units greater (P < 0.05), respectively, and the ATTD of GE and DE values were 2.1 and 3.1%-units greater (P < 0.05), respectively, for the extruded diets than the non-extruded diets. Interactions between protein source and extrusion were not observed. In conclusion, FM diets had greater ileal digestibility of DM, energy, and AA than SBM diets. Extrusion increased the AID of CP and most AA, and DE value of both plant- and animal-protein diets based on lentil grain, indicating that extrusion can increase the energy and protein value of pulse-grain based diets fed to growing pigs.

Abstract
Abstract
Barley grain containing more fermentable starch or fiber might be an attractive energy source in weaned pig diets due to benefits on gut health. Barley rapidly-fermentable carbohydrates may serve as prebiotic and slowly-fermentable fiber may decrease diarrhea in weaned pigs. Steam-explosion processing may disrupt the fiber matrix of hulls, increasing slowly-fermentable fiber of barley. To explore, 220 pigs were fed 1 of 5 diets containing 60% cereal grain: 1) low-fermentable hulled barley (LFB); 2) LFB steam-exploded (LFB-E; 1.2 MPa, 120 s); 3) high β-glucan (10% DM) hull-less barley (HFB); 4) high amylose (17% DM) hull-less barley (HFA); or 5) low-fermentable wheat (LFW). Diets were fed starting 1-week post-weaning and formulated to provide 2.4 and 2.3 Mcal net energy (NE)/kg, 5.5 and 5.1 g standardized ileal digestible lysine/Mcal NE for phase 1 (day 1–14) and phase 2 (day 15–35), respectively. For the entire trial (day 1–35), average daily feed intake (ADFI) and average daily gain (ADG) of pigs did not differ among diets. Gain:feed (G:F) did not differ between LFB and LFW diets, but steam-explosion of hulled barley reduced (P < 0.05) G:F. Feces consistency did not differ between LFB and LFW diets, but was better (P < 0.05) for LFB than HFB, HFA and LFB-E diets. For phase 1, G:F of pigs was lower (P < 0.05) for LFB-E diet than LFW diet. For days 22–28, LFB-E diet had greater (P < 0.01) ADFI than HFA diet and tended (P = 0.09) to have a greater ADG than HFB diet. In conclusion, hulled or hull-less barley grain replaced wheat grain without affecting growth performance in weaned pigs. Hulled barley increased feces consistency. Steam-explosion of hulled barley did not increase growth performance of weaned pigs. Barley grain is an attractive energy source for weaned pigs for managing growth and feces consistency.

Abstract
Metabolism in most organisms can show variations between the day and night. These variations may also affect the composition of products derived from livestock. The aim of the present study was to investigate the difference in composition between the day milk and night milk of dairy cows. Ten multiparous Holstein cows (milk yield = 25.2 ± 5.00 kg/d) were randomly selected during mid lactation. Milk samples were collected at 0500 h ("night milk") and 1500 h ("day milk") and analyzed to determine their composition. Mid-infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze macronutrient content of milk. Metabolomics and lipidomics were used to detect and analyze small molecules and fatty acids, respectively. An automatic biochemical analyzer and ELISA kits were used to determine biochemical indicators, as well as antioxidant and immune parameters in the milk. Though milk fat, protein, lactose, and total milk solids were not different between day milk and night milk, small molecules, metabolites and lipids, and hormones and cytokines differed between day milk and night milk. Regarding biochemical and immune-related indicators, the concentrations of malondialdehyde, HSP70, and HSP90 in night milk were lower than that in day milk. However, interferon-γ levels were higher in night milk. Additionally, night milk was naturally rich in melatonin. Lipidomics analyses showed that the levels of some lipids in night milk were higher than those in day milk. Metabolomics analyses identified 36 different metabolites between day milk and night milk. Higher concentrations of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, cis-aconitate, and d-sorbitol were observed in day milk. However, the other 33 metabolites analyzed, including carbohydrates, lipids, AA, and aromatic compounds, showed lower concentrations in day milk than in night milk. The present findings show that the composition of night milk differs considerably from that of day milk. Notable changes in the circadian rhythm also altered milk composition. These results provide evidence to support the strategic use and classification of day milk and night milk.

Abstract
Abstract
We address both theoretically and experimentally the influence of asymmetric perturbation on the eigenvalues of parity-time (PT) symmetric resonator systems under the symmetric gain-loss arrangement, based on an inductively coupled inductor-capacitor-resistor (LCR) pair. The perturbed eigenvalues have been theoretically presented, numerically simulated, and experimentally measured. It shows that the asymmetric perturbation breaks PT-symmetry, leading to complex eigenvalues, which is different from the broken PT-symmetric phase with complex-conjugate eigenvalues. We have analyzed the perturbed frequency responses in all phases. At the exceptional points (EP), the resulting eigenvalues splitting is proportional to the square root of perturbation, showing the advantage of being highly sensitive to asymmetric perturbation. Meanwhile, the smaller the perturbation, the higher the sensitivity. The perturbation effect of PT-symmetric systems may be utilized to detect small signal changes in LC passive wireless sensors.

Abstract
Chronic HIV-1 infection is generally characterized by progressive CD4+ T cell depletion due to direct and bystander death that is closely associated with persistent HIV-1 replication and an inflammatory environment in vivo. The mechanisms underlying the loss of CD4+ T cells in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection are incompletely understood. In this study, we simultaneously monitored caspase-1 and caspase-3 activation in circulating CD4+ T cells, which revealed that pyroptotic and apoptotic CD4+ T cells are distinct cell populations with different phenotypic characteristics. Levels of pyroptosis and apoptosis in CD4+ T cells were significantly elevated during chronic HIV-1 infection, and decreased following effective antiretroviral therapy. Notably, the occurrence of pyroptosis was further confirmed by elevated gasdermin D activation in lymph nodes of HIV-1-infected individuals. Mechanistically, caspase-1 activation closely correlated with the inflammatory marker expression and was shown to occur through NLRP3 inflammasome activation driven by virus-dependent and/or -independent ROS production, while caspase-3 activation in CD4+ T cells was more closely related to T cell activation status. Hence, our findings show that NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis plays an essential role in CD4+ T cell loss in HIV-1-infected patients and implicate pyroptosis signaling as a target for anti-HIV-1 treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the barriers to early diagnosis of HIV infection and timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS We assessed the annual number and proportion of ART-naïve people living with HIV infection (PLWH) with severe immunosuppression in Shenzhen, China, from 2008 to 2019. Selected ART-naïve PLWHs with severe immunosuppression who were seeking treatment for the first time in the hospital in 2019 were subjected to an in-depth interview. RESULTS The proportion of severely immunosuppressed, ART-naïve PLWH decreased from 36.73% in 2008 to 8.94% in 2015, and then plateaued at approximately 10% from 2015 to 2019. Overall, 55 patients, 70% of whom were men who had sex with men, participated in the qualitative interviews. Ten of them delayed treatment after diagnosis, with a median [interquartile range (IQR)] interval of 5.83 (3.98-8.54) years between diagnosis and ART. More than 80% of the patients reported casual sexual contact within a median period of 6 years and with a median (IQR) of nine (4-20) casual sex partners. The major barriers to HIV testing and diagnosis included lack of knowledge about HIV and high-risk behaviours, low awareness about HIV testing, and resistance to HIV testing. The major barriers to ART initiation included lack of knowledge about the importance of ART and change of national ART eligibility policy, and HIV-related stress. CONCLUSIONS The number of PLWHs with severe immunosuppression who seek treatment remains high in Shenzhen, China. Thus, current HIV-related care programmes targeting access to early diagnosis and treatment need to be improved.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the long-term clinical effect and imaging results of Bryan artificial cervical disc replacement (ACDR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and to explore whether ACDR can reduce the occurrence of postoperative adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) in the treatment of degenerative cervical spondylosis. Methods: It was a retrospective study. Total of 60 patients with degenerative cervical spondylosis, who had received operations by Bryan ACDR (n=27) and ACDF (n=33) in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University between January 2005 and December 2009 were enrolled in this study. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores, neck disability index (NDI), visual analogue scale (VAS), Odom's scale, cervical range of motion (ROM), surgical segment ROM, heterotopic ossification (HO) and ASD were used to evaluate the clinical and radiologic results. The indices abovementioned were compared between the two groups. Results: The VAS, NDI and JOA scores at each follow-up node in both ACDR and ACDF group were all significantly improved when compared with those before operation (all P<0.05), but there was no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). Of all, 88.9%(24/27) of patients in ACDR group and 84.8%(28/33) of patients in ACDF group achieved excellent or good results, however, there was no significant difference in Odom's scale between the two groups (P>0.05). At the last follow-up, the cervical ROM in ACDR group was 43.2°±8.8°, which was slightly lower than that before operation (45.7°±10.4°), the difference was not statistically significant (t=0.954, P=0.345); the surgical segment ROM in ACDR group was 5.9°±3.6°, which was significantly reduced when compared with that before operation (8.8°±3.4°, t=3.043, P<0.01). However at the last follow-up, the cervical ROM in ACDF group was 36.4°±8.4°, which was significantly reduced when compared with that before operation (43.9°±11.1°), the difference was statistically significant (t=3.095, P<0.01). Although, there was no significant difference in the cervical ROM between the two groups before operation (t=0.643, P=0.523), and the difference was statistically significant at the last follow-up (t=3.054, P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the incidence of HO in ACDR group was 92.6%, and the high-grade HO was 37.0%. The incidence of ASD in ACDR group was 39.5%, which was much lower than that in ACDF group (61.1%, χ(2)=4.462, P=0.035). Conclusion: At minimum follow-up of 10 years, Bryan ACDR achieves a satisfactory clinical effect consistent with ACDF. In terms of advantages, ACDR could maintain the ROM of cervical and retain the ROM of the surgical segment, which reduces the occurrence of ASD by preserving motion.
