Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO). Methods: This cohort study recruited singleton pregnancies in the first trimester (6-13+6 weeks of gestation) from Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between January 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. Cardiometabolic markers, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG), were recorded during the first trimester. Incidence of APO, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, small for gestational age infant, and placental abruption, was documented. Cardiovascular metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester were defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria: elevated BMI (BMI≥24 kg/m²), elevated TG (TG≥1.7 mmol/L), decreased HDL-C (HDL-C<1.0 mmol/L), elevated blood pressure (systolic pressure≥130 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and/or diastolic pressure≥85 mmHg), elevated FPG (FPG≥5.6 mmol/L). Enrolled women were categorized into abnormal cardio-metabolic and normal cardio-metabolic groups. Poisson regression was employed to analyze the association between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and APO. Results: The study included 14 197 pregnant women with an age of (32.0±4.1) years. There were 8 139 women in the normal cardio-metabolic group and 6 058 women in the abnormal cardio-metabolic group. Women with cardio-metabolic disorders in the first trimester had a younger gestational age and higher incidence rates of preterm birth, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes mellitus (all P<0.05). In multivariable Poisson regression, elevated BMI (RR=1.22, 95%CI 1.15-1.29), elevated FPG (RR=1.59, 95%CI 1.38-1.82), elevated TG (RR=1.22, 95%CI 1.13-1.31), and elevated blood pressure (RR=1.50, 95%CI 1.39-1.63) were independent risk factors for APO, while decreased HDL-C (RR=0.93, 95%CI 0.70-1.23) was not. Elevated blood pressure (RR=5.57, 95%CI 4.58-6.78), elevated BMI (RR=1.71, 95%CI 1.40-2.09), and elevated TG (RR=1.38, 95%CI 1.10-1.74) had the greatest impact on the risk of developing preeclampsia. Elevated FPG (RR=1.70, 95%CI 1.45-1.99) had the greatest impact on the risk of gestational diabetes. Conclusions: Elevated blood pressure, BMI, TG and FPG in the first trimester are closely related to APO.

Abstract
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative seroconversion (HBsAg < 0.05 IU/ml) is research hotspot in the field of hepatitis at this stage, and patients who achieve HBsAg negative seroconversion have significantly fewer liver-related complications. Presently, there are many studies with regard to HBsAg-negative seroconversion, but there are still relatively few indicators used in clinical practice to predict HBsAg-negative seroconversion. Low baseline HBsAg quantification and dynamic decline during treatment are currently recognized as the best indicators for predicting HBsAg-negative seroconversion. However, other factors such as viral genotype, elevated transaminases during treatment course, immune cell function and cytokine levels, and host factors can all influence HBsAg-negative seroconversion. This article reviews the relevant indicators and potential predictive factors for HBsAg-negative seroconversion.

Abstract
Tight junction proteins play a crucial role in paracellular transport in salivary gland epithelia. It is clear that severe xerostomia in patients with HELIX syndrome is caused by mutations in the claudin-10 gene. However, little is known about the expression pattern and role of claudin-10 in saliva secretion in physical and disease conditions. In the present study, we found that only claudin-10b transcript was expressed in human and mouse submandibular gland (SMG) tissues, and claudin-10 protein was dominantly distributed at the apicolateral membranes of acini in human, rat, and mouse SMGs. Overexpression of claudin-10 significantly reduced transepithelial electrical resistance and increased paracellular transport of dextran and Na+ in SMG-C6 cells. In C57BL/6 mice, pilocarpine stimulation promoted secretion and cation concentration in saliva in a dose-dependent increase. Assembly of claudin-10 to the most apicolateral portions in acini of SMGs was observed in the lower pilocarpine (1 mg/kg)-treated group, and this phenomenon was much obvious in the higher pilocarpine (10 mg/kg)-treated group. Furthermore, 7-, 14-, and 21-wk-old nonobese diabetic (NOD) and BALB/c mice were used to mimic the progression of hyposalivation in Sjögren syndrome. Intensity of claudin-10 protein was obviously lower in SMGs of 14- and 21-wk-old NOD mice compared with that of age-matched BALB/c mice. In the cultured mouse SMG tissues, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) downregulated claudin-10 expression. In claudin-10-overexpressed SMG-C6 cells, paracellular permeability was decreased. Furthermore, IFN-γ stimulation increased p-STAT1 level, whereas pretreatment with JAK/STAT1 antagonist significantly alleviated the IFN-γ-induced claudin-10 downregulation. These results indicate that claudin-10 functions as a pore-forming component in acinar epithelia of SMGs, assembly of claudin-10 is required for saliva secretion, and downregulation of claudin-10 induces hyposecretion. These findings may provide new clues to novel therapeutic targets on hyposalivation.

Abstract
The unique eco-environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau breeds abundant microbial resources. In this research, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens GL18, isolated from the rhizosphere of Kobresia myosuroides from an alpine meadow, and the antagonistic activity, bacteriostatic hydrolase activity, and low temperature, salt, and drought resistance of it were determined and analysed. The seedlings of Avena sativa were root-irrigated using bacteria suspensions (cell concentration 1 × 107 cfu/mL) of GL18, and the growth-promoting effect of GL18 on it was determined under cold, salt and drought stress, respectively. The whole genome of GL18 was sequenced, and its functional genes were analysed. GL18 presented significant antagonistic activity to Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium acuminatum, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger (inhibition zone diameter > 17 mm). Transparent zones formed on four hydrolase detection media, indicating that GL18 secreted cellulase, protease, pectinase and β-1,3-glucanase. GL18 tolerated conditions of 10 °C, 11% NaCl and 15% PEG-6000, presenting cold, salt and drought resistance. GL18 improved the cold, salt and drought tolerance of A. sativa and it showed significant growth effects under different stress. The total length of the GL18 genome was 3,915,550 bp, and the number of coding DNA sequence was 3726. Compared with the clusters of orthologous groups of proteins, gene ontology and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes databases, 3088, 2869 and 2357 functional genes were annotated, respectively. GL18 contained gene clusters related to antibacterial substances, functional genes related to the synthesis of plant growth-promoting substances, and encoding genes related to stress resistance. This study identified an excellent Bacillus strain and provided a theoretical basis for improving stress resistance and promoting the growth of herbages under abiotic stress.

Abstract
Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) involves two major public health issues: mother-infant safety and prevention and controlling major chronic disease. HDP poses a serious threat to maternal and neonatal safety, and it is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, as well as an important risk factor for long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD). In order to explore effective strategies to prevent and control the source of CVD and reduce its risk, we have established a cohort of HDPs in Shenzhen for the primordial prevention of CVD. The construction of the HDP cohort has already achieved preliminary progress till now. A total of 2 239 HDP women have been recruited in the HDP cohort. We have established a cohort data management platform and Biobank. The follow-up and assessment of postpartum cardiovascular metabolic risk in this cohort has also been launched. Our efforts will help explore the pathophysiological mechanism of HDP, especially the pathogenesis and precision phenotyping, prediction, and prevention of pre-eclampsia, which, therefore, may reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and provide a bridge to linking HDP and maternal-neonatal cardiovascular, metabolic risk to promote the cardiovascular health of mothers and their infants.

Abstract
Terminal Ru(v)-imido species are thought to be as reactive to group transfer reactions as their Ru(v)-oxo homologues, but are less studied. With the electron-rich corrole ligand, relatively stable and isolable Ru(v)-arylimido complexes [Ru(tBu-Cor)(NAr)] (H3(tBu-Cor) = 5,15-diphenyl-10-(p-tert-butylphenyl)corrole, Ar = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (Mes), 2,6-(iPr)2C6H3 (Dipp), 2,4,6-(iPr)3C6H2 (Tipp), and 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3 (BTF)) can be prepared from [Ru(tBu-Cor)]2 under strongly reducing conditions. This type of Ru(v)-monoarylimido corrole complex with S = ½ was characterized by high-resolution ESI mass spectrometry, X-band EPR, resonance Raman spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, and elemental analysis, together with computational studies. Under heating/light irradiation (xenon lamp) conditions, the complexes [Ru(tBu-Cor)(NAr)] (Ar = Mes, BTF) could undergo aziridination of styrenes and amination of benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds with up to 90% product yields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity usually causes diabetes mellitus (DM) and is a serious danger to human health. Type 2 DM (T2DM) mostly occurs along with obesity. Foodborne obesity-induced DM is caused by an excessive long-term diet and surplus energy. Bariatric surgery can improve the symptoms of T2DM in some obese patients. But different types of bariatric surgery may have different effects. AIM To investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on glucose and lipid metabolism and liver and kidney function in rats. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6-8 wk underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), or gastric banding (GB). Glucose and insulin tolerance tests, analyses of biochemical parameters, histological examination, western blot, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were conducted. RESULTS In comparison to the sham operation group, the RYGB, SG, and GB groups had decreased body weight and food intake, reduced glucose intolerance and insulin insensitivity, downregulated biochemical parameters, alleviated morphological changes in the liver and kidneys, and decreased levels of protein kinase C β/ P66shc. The effect in the RYGB group was better than that in the SG and GB groups. CONCLUSION These results suggest that RYGB, SG and GB may be helpful for the treatment of foodborne obesity-induced DM.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of preoperative inflammatory and nutritional condition detection in the postoperative survival, and establish a prognostic model for predicting the survival of patients with gastric cancer. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 1123 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical gastrectomy in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital from January 2005 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with history of other malignancy, with history of gastrectomy, who had received preoperative treatment, who died during the initial hospital stay or first postoperative month, and missing clinical and pathological information were excluded. Cox univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify independent clinicopathological factors associated with the survival of these gastric cancer patients. Cox univariate analysis was used to identify preoperative inflammatory and nutritional indexes related to the survival of patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. Moreover, the Cox proportional regression model for multivariate survival analysis (forward stepwise regression method based on maximum likelihood estimation) was used. The independent clinicopathological factors that affect survival were incorporated into the following three new prognostic models: (1) an inflammatory model: significant preoperative inflammatory indexes identified through clinical and univariate analysis; (2) a nutritional model: significant preoperative nutritional indexes identified through clinical and univariate analysis; and (3) combined inflammatory/nutritional model: significant preoperative inflammatory and nutritional indexes identified through clinical and univariate analysis. A model that comprised only pT and pN stages in tumor TNM staging was used as a control model. The integrated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (iAUC) and C-index were used to evaluate the discrimination of the model. Model fitting was evaluated by Akaike information criterion analysis. Calibration curves were used to assess agreement between the predicted probabilities and actual probabilities at 3-year or 5-year overall survival (OS). Results: The study cohort comprised 1 123 patients with gastric cancer. The mean age was 58.9±11.6 years, and 783 were males. According to univariate analysis, age, surgical procedure, extent of lymph node dissection, tumor location, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, and nerve invasion were associated with 5-year OS after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (all P<0.050). Multivariate analysis further identified age (HR: 1.18, 95%CI: 1.03-1.36, P=0.019), maximum tumor size (HR: 1.19, 95%CI: 1.03-1.38, P=0.022), number of examined lymph nodes (HR: 0.79, 95%CI: 0.68-0.92, P=0.003), pT stage (HR: 1.40, 95%CI: 1.26-1.55, P<0.001) and pN stage (HR: 1.28, 95%CI: 1.21-1.35, P<0.001) as independent prognostic factors for OS of gastric cancer patients. Additionally, according to univariate survival analysis, the preoperative inflammatory markers of neutrophil count, percentage of neutrophils, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/neutrophil ratio and preoperative nutritional indicators of serum albumin and body mass index were potential prognostic factors for gastric cancer (all P<0.05). On the basis of the above results, three models for prediction of prognosis were constructed. Variables included in the three models are as follows. (1) Inflammatory model: age, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, percentage of neutrophils, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; (2) nutritional model: age, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, and serum albumin; and (3) combined inflammatory/nutritional model: age, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, percentage of neutrophils, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and serum albumin. We found that the predictive accuracy of the combined inflammatory/nutritional model, which incorporates both inflammatory indicators and nutrition indicators (iAUC: 0.676, 95% CI: 0.650-0.719, C-index: 0.698),was superior to that of the inflammation model (iAUC: 0.662, 95% CI: 0.673-0.706;C-index: 0.675), nutritional model (iAUC: 0.666, 95% CI: 0.642-0.698, C-index: 0.672), and TNM staging control model (iAUC: 0.676, 95% CI: 0.650-0.719, C-index: 0.658). Furthermore, the combined inflammatory/nutritional model had better fitting performance (AIC: 10 762) than the inflammatory model (AIC: 10 834), nutritional model (AIC: 10 810), and TNM staging control model (AIC: 10 974). Conclusions: Preoperative percentage of neutrophils, NLR, and BMI have predictive value for the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. The inflammatory / nutritional model can be used to predict the survival and prognosis of gastric cancer patients on an individualized basis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES MicroRNA-dependent regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism has been recognized recently as a key pathological mechanism contributing to the development of NAFLD. However, whether miR-32-5p (miR-32) plays a role in lipid metabolism or contributes to NAFLD remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS A marked increase in miR-32 expression was observed in liver samples from patients and mice with NAFLD, as well as in palmitate-induced hepatocytes. Hepatocyte-specific miR-32 knockout (miR-32-HKO) dramatically ameliorated hepatic steatosis and metabolic disorders in high-fat diet-fed mice. Conversely, hepatic miR-32 overexpression markedly exacerbated the progression of these abnormalities. Further, combinational analysis of transcriptomics and lipidomics suggested that miR-32 was a key trigger for de novo lipogenesis in the liver. Mechanistically, RNA sequencing, luciferase assay and adenovirus-mediated downstream gene rescue assay demonstrated that miR-32 directly bound to INSIG1 and subsequently activated sterol regulatory element binding protein-mediated lipogenic gene programs, thereby promoting hepatic lipid accumulation and metabolic disorders. Notably, pharmacological administration of miR-32 antagonist significantly inhibited PA-induced triglyceride deposition in hepatocytes and markedly mitigated hepatic steatosis and metabolic abnormalities in obesity-associated NAFLD mice. CONCLUSION miR-32 is an important checkpoint for lipogenesis in the liver, and targeting miR-32 could be a promising therapeutic approach for NAFLD treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the preventive effect of atropine premedication during anesthesia induction on vagal reflex in patients undergoing suspension laryngoscopy. Methods: A total of 342 patients (202 males and 140 females) scheduled for suspension laryngoscopy under general anesthesia in Beijing Tongren Hospital from October 2021 to March 2022 were prospectively enrolled, with a mean age of (48.1±11.9) years. The patients were randomly divided into two groups using the random number table method: the treatment group (n=171) and the control group (n=171). Patients in the treatment group were administrated with 0.5 mg atropine intravenously guttae (ivgtt) while patients in the control group were given equivalent volume of normal saline. For all patients, if heart rate (HR)<50 beats/min happened during the insertion of the suspension laryngoscope, the operation should be stopped and the laryngoscope should be removed. Patients without HR recovery after the removal of the laryngoscope should be given 0.5 mg atropine, and the operation should be continued after the HR recovered. The primary outcome was the incidence of HR fluctuation over 20% (ΔHR>20%) before and immediately after suspension laryngoscope fixation, and the secondary outcomes included HR, mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the two groups recorded before and after anesthesia induction, before and immediately after suspension laryngoscope fixation, and the incidences of sinus bradycardia, laryngoscope removal and atropine treatment during operation. Results: The incidences of ΔHR>20% and bradycardia immediately after the suspension laryngoscope fixation were 14.6% (25/171) and 12.9% (22/171) in the treatment group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [28.1% (48/171) and 29.8% (51/171)] (both P<0.05). The HR immediately after the suspension laryngoscope fixation in the treatment group [(66.4±13.5) beats/min] and in the control group [(60.8±15.7) beats/min] was significantly lower than those before the suspension laryngoscope fixation [(74.7±11.1) beats/min and (67.6±12.8) beats/min, respectively] (both P<0.05). There were no significant differences in MAP between the two groups at each time point (all P>0.05). The incidence of laryngoscope removal once plus 0.5 mg atropine administration, laryngoscope removal twice plus 0.5 mg atropine administration and laryngoscope removal twice plus 1.0 mg atropine administration was 9.9% (17/171), 1.8% (3/171) and 0 (0) in the treatment group, respectively, which was significantly lower than those in the control group [24.0% (41/171), 5.8% (10/171) and 2.3% (4/171), respectively] (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Atropine premedication during anesthesia induction can effectively reduce the occurrence of vagal reflex in patients undergoing suspension laryngoscopy.

Abstract
Trifluoromethyl-bearing 5-membered rings are prevalent in bioactive molecules, but modular approaches to these compounds by functionalization of robust C(sp3 )-H bonds in a direct and selective manner are extremely challenging. Herein we report the rhodium-catalyzed α-CF3 -α-alkyl carbene insertion into C(sp3 )-H bonds of a broad range of substrates to access 7 types of CF3 -bearing saturated 5-membered carbo- and heterocycles. The reaction is particularly effective for benzylic C-H insertion exerting good site-, diastereo- and enantiocontrol, and applicable to the synthesis of chiral CF3 analogues of bioactive molecules. Ruthenium α-CF3 -α-alkyl carbene complexes underwent stoichiometric reactions to give C-H insertion products, lending evidence for the involvement of metal α-CF3 -α-alkyl carbene species in the catalytic cycle. DFT calculations revealed that the π⋅⋅⋅π attraction and intra-carbene C-H⋅⋅⋅F hydrogen bond elucidate the origin of selectivity of the benzylic C-H insertion reactions.

Abstract
In the salivary glands, fibrosis occurs in many pathological conditions. Endothelial tight junction (TJ)-based barrier function plays a vital role in maintaining the homeostasis of the salivary glands. However, whether endothelial barrier function is changed and involved in the pathogenesis of glandular fibrosis is unknown. Here, by using a mouse model in which the main excretory duct of the submandibular gland (SMG) was ligated to induce inflammation and fibrosis, endothelial barrier function and TJ protein expression and distribution were examined. Both 4-kDa and 70-kDa fluorescence-labeled dextrans permeated more in the 1-, 3-, and 7-d ligated SMGs. Meanwhile, the mRNA level of claudin-5 was increased with an obvious redistribution from apicolateral membranes to lateral membranes and cytoplasm in the fibrotic glands. Notably, the TJ sealer AT1001 significantly attenuated the disrupted endothelial barrier function and thereby ameliorated the glandular fibrosis. Cytokine array detection showed that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was highly enriched in the 3-d ligated SMGs, and MCP-1 directly impaired barrier function, increased claudin-5 expression, induced the relocalization of claudin-5, and activated p-ERK1/2 in cultured human endothelial cells. Furthermore, the upregulation and disorganization of claudin-5 as well as the elevation of MCP-1 and p-ERK1/2 signaling were also confirmed in fibrotic SMGs from patients with chronic sialadenitis and immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis. Altogether, our findings revealed that disrupted endothelial barrier function contributed to the progression of glandular fibrosis, and targeting endothelial TJs might be a promising approach to alleviate salivary gland fibrosis-related diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the role of closed extension tube in preventing airway leakage during artificial airway clearance. Methods: The test lung was connected with a ventilator for mechanical ventilation. The pressure parameters were set as 16/5, 20/6, 24/7, 28/8, 32/9 and 36/10 cmH2O(1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa), respectively. The circuit was connected with an open extension tube or a closed extension tube. The ventilator was set with different pressure parameters to observe the changes of airway pressure and tidal volume during airway clearance. Results: (1) The pressure parameters were set as 16/5, 20/6, 24/7, 28/8, 32/9 and 36/10 cmH2O, and the airway pressures (in cmH2O) of circuit connected with open extension tube were (15.94±0.27)/(4.81±0.04), (20.09±0.23)/(6.05±0.16), (23.89±0.41)/(6.94±0.06), (27.90±0.22)/(7.71±0.18), (31.92±0.13)/(8.74±0.12)and(35.65±0.31)/(9.72±0.07), respectively.Under the same ventilator pressure parameters, the airway pressures (in cmH2O) of circuit connected with close extension tube were (16.36±0.06)/(4.85±0.04), (20.54±0.26)/(6.44±0.12), (24.36±0.24)/(7.01±0.33), (28.69±0.25)/(8.07±0.08), (32.97±0.33)/(8.93±0.09), (37.34±0.29)/(9.75±0.08), respectively. The airway pressure of circuit connected with open extension tube was lower than that connected with closed extension tube(P<0.05);with the increase of the pressure setting of the ventilator, the difference of the airway pressure between the two extended tubes gradually increased. When the maximum inspiratory pressure of the ventilator was set 36 cmH2O, the difference reached 1.69 cmH2O. (2) The airway pressures (in cmH2O) dropped from (15.94±0.27)/(4.81±0.04), (20.09±0.23)/(6.05±0.16), (23.89±0.41)/(6.94±0.06), (27.90±0.22)/(7.71±0.18), (31.92±0.13)/(8.74±0.12), (35.65±0.31)/(9.72±0.07) to (13.42±0.4)/(3.15±0.14), (16.81±0.6)/(4.30±0.14), (20.22±0.5)/(5.48±0.45), (23.73±1.4)/(6.25±0.22), (24.78±0.7)/(7.13±0.21), (20.83±0.4)/(6.61±0.19)when the suction port of the open extension tube was opened (P<0.05);and the tidal volume (in L) also decreased from 0.328±0.004, 0.580±0.012, 0.621±0.003, 0.626±0.003, 0.615±0.003, 0.603±0.002 to 0.272±0.008, 0.416±0.051, 0.487±0.047, 0.396±0.116, 0.507±0.022, 0.508±0.079, respectively (P<0.05). The decrease of airway pressure and tidal volume gradually increased with the increase of ventilator setting pressure. When the ventilator setting parameter was 36/10 cmH2O, the decrease of airway inspiratory pressure was (14.82±0.51) cmH2O and the maximum reduction of tidal volume was (0.164±0.021)L. (3)The airway pressure (in cmH2O) was increased to(15.70±0.23)/(4.80±0.33), (19.01±0.81)/(5.71±0.34), (22.27±0.62)/(6.85±0.44), (25.35±2.09)/(7.94±0.16), (28.38±0.46)/(8.96±0.23), (33.34±0.71)/(9.71±0.25) when the suction tube was inserted from the suction port of the open extension tube in the open state, and the tidal volume (in L) was increased to 0.340±0.016, 0.563±0.020, 0.571±0.030, 0.556±0.026, 0.514±0.021, 0.512±0.031 as well.The airway pressure and tidal volume of the ventilation circuit were higher than those in the open state, but still lower than those in the closed state. Compared with the closed state of the suction port, the maximum pressure drop and tidal volume decrease were (3.53±0.46) cmH2O and (0.101±0.011) L, respectively. (4) The pressure of the ventilator was set between 16/5 cmH2O to 36/10 cmH2O. The airway pressure (in cmH2O) was decreased from (16.26±0.04)/(4.85±0.04), (20.74±0.15)/(6.42±0.11), (25.09±0.31)/(7.10±0.13), (29.38±0.24)/(8.17±0.09), (33.80±0.16)/(9.02±0.17), (37.89±0.19)/(9.83±0.07) to(16.36±0.06)/(4.85±0.04), (20.54±0.26)/(6.44±0.12), (24.36±0.24)/(7.01±0.33), (28.69±0.25)/(8.07±0.08), (32.97±0.33)/(8.93±0.09), (37.34±0.29)/(9.75±0.08), respectively during the insertion of the suction tube from the suction port of the closed extension tube, and the tidal volume (in L) was decreased from0.361±0.005, 0.592±0.003, 0.631±0.001, 0.642±0.007, 0.633±0.007, 0.626±0.08 to 0.335±0.005, 0.588±0.008, 0.631±0.002, 0.638±0.004, 0.628±0.004, 0.618±0.005.The maximum pressure change of the ventilation circuit was (0.83±0.27) cm H2O and the maximum tidal volume change was (0.008±0.006)L. The changes of airway pressure and tidal volume were significantly lower than those of ventilation circuit connected with open extension tube under the same pressure parameters. Conclusion: The connection of closed extension tube in mechanical ventilation circuit can reduce the airway leakage during artificial airway clearance, which is worthy of clinical recommendation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the changes in the types of anti-glaucoma eye drops and daily treatment costs in 2021 compared with 2006 in China. Methods: The information of the main anti-glaucoma eye drops in 2021 was obtained from the database of Yaozhi.com. The daily cost of each eye drop was calculated by recording the number of drops in a single bottle and pricing in the national market, and the corresponding information of anti-glaucoma eye drops collected in 2006 was compared. Based on the income of Chinese residents in 2006 and 2021, the proportion of the daily cost of anti-glaucoma eye drops in the annual income of residents was analyzed. Results There were 32 kinds of anti-glaucoma eye drops in 2021, and the daily cost was 0.34 to 16.00 yuan. The daily cost is 0.34 to 6.77 yuan after removing the single-dose package. The number of drugs in 2021 was significantly higher than that in 2006 (16). In 2021, prostaglandins accounted for the highest proportion of 31.25%. There was a significant increase in the number of generic drugs, fixed formulations and preservative-free single-dose packages. In 2021, the price of imported drugs was significantly reduced, with the daily cost falling by 29.28% to 53.78% compared with 2006. In 2021, the daily cost of the most expensive drugs accounted for 12.32% and 30.85% of the daily income of urban and rural residents, respectively (5.21% and 13.05% after removing single-dose packaged drugs), which were significantly lower than 37.46% and 122.79% in 2006. Conclusions Compared with 2006, the variety of anti-glaucoma eye drops increased significantly in 2021, and the daily treatment cost and the proportion of daily income were significantly reduced.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the independent and combined effects of pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational diabetes (GDM) on early adiposity rebound (AR) timing in children. Methods: Based on the "Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study", 2 896 eligible maternal and infant pairs were recruited. In the cohort, we collected pre-pregnancy height, weight, 24 to 28 weeks GDM diagnosis, follow-up at 42 days, three months, six months, nine months of age, and every six months after one year of age, and continuously followed up to 6 years old, and obtained the child's length/height, weight, and other data. The intensity of the association between pre-pregnancy BMI, GDM, and early AR timing was analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression model. Multiplication and additive models were used to analyze how pre-pregnancy BMI and GDM influenced early AR timing in children. Results: The prevalence of underweight, average weight, overweight, and obesity before pregnancy were 23.2% (672), 66.4% (1 923), 8.7% (251), and 1.7% (50). The prevalence of GDM was 12.4%. We found that 39.3% of children had AR, and the average age at AR was (4.38±1.08). The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that pre-pregnancy overweight (OR=1.67,95%CI:1.27-2.19), pre-pregnancy obesity (OR=3.05,95%CI:1.66-5.56), and maternal GDM (OR=1.40,95%CI:1.11-1.76) were risk factors for early AR timing in children. In contrast, pre-pregnancy underweight (OR=0.60,95%CI:0.49-0.73) was a protective factor for early AR timing in children. Compared with the different effects of pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and maternal GDM alone, the combined effect caused a higher risk of early AR timing in children, with OR values (95%CI) were 2.03 (1.20-3.44), 3.43 (1.06-11.12), respectively. The multiplication and additive models showed no interaction between pre-pregnancy BMI and GDM-influenced early AR timing in children. Conclusion: Higher pre-pregnancy BMI and maternal GDM are the independent risk factors for the early AR timing in children, and the co-occurrence of the two is higher risks, but there was no statistical interaction.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the protective effects of vitamin A eye gel combined with 3M transparent tape and erythromycin eye ointment combined with 3M transparent tape on the eye surface during head and neck surgery under general anesthesia. Methods: From June to December 2021, a total of 120 patients undergoing elective head and neck surgery under general anesthesia in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were enrolled. Each participant was randomly received vitamin A eye gel (vitamin A eye, n=60) or erythromycin eye ointment (erythromycin eye, n=60), followed by 3M transparent tape on one eye, and taping 3M transparent tape alone for the other eye. The hand-held slit lamp examination was performed 3 times at before induction of anesthesia, after resuscitation in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and 1 day after surgery. The primary outcome was corneal fluorescein sodium staining (CFS) score. Secondary outcomes included symptom assessment in dry eye (SANDE) questionnaire score, basic tear secretion test (Schirmer I test, SIt), break-up time (BUT) and incidence of adverse reactions. Results: Comparison within groups showed that CFS scores were significantly higher in vitamin A eyes and erythromycin eyes at PACU than before induction (P<0.05). Comparison between groups showed that CFS score at PACU in erythromycin eyes (0.62±0.16) was significantly higher than that in vitamin A eyes (0.13±0.01, P=0.007). Compared with before induction, SIt at PACU was significantly increased in the erythromycin eyes [(16.0±1.3) vs (11.4±4.9) mm, P=0.017],and was significantly decreased in vitamin A eyes [(10.2±3.6) vs (12.4±5.5) mm, P=0.046]. The BUT in PACU of erythromycin eyes, vitamin A eyes were (6.4±2.5) s, (6.8±2.1) s, respectively,and were significantly decreased compared with before induction (P<0.05). Comparison between groups showed that there was no significant difference in BUT and SANDE in PACU between two groups (P>0.05). For erythromycin eyes, discomfort symptoms in PACU included viscosity (66.7%, 40/60), conjunctival congestion (21.7%, 13/60), tingling (8.3%, 5/60), blurred vision (58.3%, 35/60). The incidence of these complications in vitamin A eye was 30.0% (18/60), 5.0% (3/60), 0 and 6.7% (4/60), respectively, and all the incidences were significantly higher than those of vitamin A eyes (all P<0.05). Conclusion: For patients undergoing head and neck surgery under general anesthesia, the combination of vitamin A ocular gel and 3M transparent tape is more effective in prevent postoperative ocular surface injury than the combination of erythromycin ointment and 3M transparent tape.

Abstract
Objective: To study the effect of ultrasonic-guided serratus plane block combined with pectoral nerve block Ⅰ on postoperative analgesia after radical mastectomy. Methods: A total of 30 patients, all female, aged [M (Q1, Q3)] 53 (43, 62) years old, who underwent radical mastectomy in Beijing Tongren Hospital from May to August 2021 were selected. The patients were divided into two groups (n=15 in each group) using a random number table: general anesthesia alone+patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) group (control group) and serratus plane block combined with pectoral nerve block Ⅰ before general anesthesia+PCIA group (combined group). Numerical rating scale (NRS) at rest in both groups were detected in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) and 4, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h after operation. The time of first pain, the time of first pressing of the automatic analgesic device after the operation, the dosage of remifentanil during operation, cumulative dosages of sufentanil at 24 h and 48 h postoperatively, and the incidence of adverse effects were all recorded. Results: The NRS scores in combined group in the PACU and 4, 8, 12 and 24 h after surgery were (2.1±1.7), (1.7±1.5), (1.5±1.4), (1.5±1.3) and (1.7±1.3), respectively, while the NRS scores in control group at each time points were (4.5±2.0), (3.2±1.4), (2.7±0.9), (2.8±0.9) and (2.4±0.8), respectively, and the NRS scores in combined group were significantly lower than those in control group (all P<0.05). The NRS scores in combined group at 36 and 48 h after surgery were (1.8±1.6) and (1.6±1.2), while the NRS scores in control group were (2.2±0.9) and (2.1±0.8), and the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). The time of first pain and the time of the first pressing of the automatic analgesic device in combined group were (573±174) min and (962±313) min, which were significantly longer than those of control group [(13±6) min and (135±41) min] (both P<0.05). The dosage of remifentanil during operation and cumulative dosage of sufentanil at 24 h postoperatively in combined group were (410±129) μg and (14±4) μg, which were lower than those in control group [(580±225) μg and (21±11) μg] (both P<0.05). Cumulative dosage of sufentanil at 48 h postoperatively in combined group was (29±11) μg, while in control group was (36±14) μg, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.131). The incidence of postoperative dizziness in combined group was 6.7% (1/15), which was lower than that of control group [40.0% (6/15)] (P=0.031). The incidence of nausea and pruritus was 6.7% (1/15) and 0 in combined group, while 20.0% (3/15) and 6.7% (1/15) in control group, with no statistical significance (both P>0.05). Conclusion: Serratus plane block combined with pectoral nerve block Ⅰ can effectively relieve postoperative pain, decrease the need for opioids, and reduce the incidence of adverse effects.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the role of pancreas multidisciplinary team(MDT) clinic in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases,patient compliance with MDT advice,and the impact of MDT on the postoperative survival of patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods: The study included 927 patients(554 males,373 females,aged (58.1±13.3)years (range: 15 to 89 years)) that had visited the pancreas MDT clinic of Zhongshan Hospital from May 2015 to December 2021,and 677 patients(396 males, 281 females, aged (63.6±8.9)years(range: 32 to 95 years)) who underwent radical surgery and with pathologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma from January 2012 to December 2020,of whom 79 patients had attended the pancreas MDT. The clinical and pathological data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Diseases were classified in accordance with 2010 WHO classification of tumors of the digestive system and usual clinical practices. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for drawing the survival curve and calculating the survival rate. The univariate analysis was done by Log-rank test and the multivariate analysis was done by COX proportional hazards model. Survival rates were compared using χ2 test. Results: Among the 927 patients that had visited the MDT clinic,233 patients(25.1%) were referred due to undetermined diagnosis. A direct diagnosis was made in 109 cases (46.8%,109/233) by the MDT clinic, of which 98 were consistent with the final diagnosis,resulting in an accuracy of 89.9%(98/109). The direct diagnosis rate in the recent years(36.6%(41/112),from June 2019 to December 2021) decreased compared to that in the previous years(56.2%(68/121),from May 2015 to May 2019),yet the accuracy in the recent years(90.2%,37/41) was basically the same as before (89.7%,61/68). The rate of compliance of the entire cohort was 71.5%(663/927), with the compliance rate in the recent two and a half years(81.4%,338/415) remarkably higher than that in the previous four years(63.4%,325/512). Patients with pancreatic cancer that attended the MDT exhibited a trend toward longer median postoperative survival than patients that did not attend the MDT,but the difference was not statistically significant(35.2 months vs.30.2 months,P>0.05). The 1-year and 3-year survival rates of patients that attended the MDT were significanly higher than patients that did not attend the MDT(88.6% vs. 78.4%,P<0.05;32.9% vs. 21.9%,P<0.05,respectively),but the 5-year survival rate was not statistically different(7.6% vs. 4.8%,P>0.05). Conclusions: The pancreas MDT clinic is an accurate and convenient way to diagnose intractable pancreatic diseases,and in the recent years the patients' compliance rate with MDT advice has increased. Pancreatic cancer patients that have attended the MDT have higher 1-year and 3-year postoperative survival rates,but the long-term survival benefits of MDT still needs to be proved by clinical studies on a larger scale.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the anesthetic effects of mivacurium and cisatracurium besylate in laser laryngeal microsurgery, and to provide clinical evidence and reference for further optimization of muscle relaxation application. Methods: From October 2021 to January 2022, fifty-six patients of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, scheduled for laser laryngeal microsurgery with general anesthesia, were enrolled. These patients, aged 18-65 years old, 25 males and 31 females, were divided into two groups (n=28) by random number table method. Cisatracurium besylate group (group C): cisatracurium besylate was injected at 0.1 mg/kg. Normal saline was continuously infused during operation. Mivacurium group (group M):Mivacurium was injected at 0.25 mg/kg and continuously infused at 0.3 mg·kg-1·h-1 during operation.The intubation time, the extubation time, recovery index, Cooper's score, Cormack-Lehane grade, surgical condition grade, postoperative residual neuromuscular block and allergic related adverse events were compared between the two groups. Results: The intubation time and the extubation time of group M were (3.7±1.1) and (16.2±5.0) min, which were statistically significant shorter than those of group C (4.9±0.7) and (26.4±8.6) min (all P<0.05). The recovery indexes of the patients in group M and group C were (4.5±3.4) and (6.2±5.0) min. The Cooper's scores of the two groups were both 9(9, 9). The Cormack-Lehane grades of the two groups were all grade Ⅰ. The number of cases with good/excellent surgical condition grades in group M and group C were 5/23 and 0/28. There were no significant differences in recovery index, Cooper's score, Cormack-Lehane grades and surgical condition grades between the two groups (all P>0.05). The TOF ratio of group M in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) was (95.7±2.6) %, which was significantly higher than (92.9±3.9) % of group C(P=0.015). There were no significant differences in MAP and HR between the two groups at different time points (all P>0.05). The incidence of skin flushing in group M and group C was 10.7% (3/28) and 0, and the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.074). There were no cases of severe hypotension, significantly elevated airway pressure or airway spasm in both groups. Conclusion: In laser laryngeal microsurgery, compared with cisatracurium besylate, mivacurium has shorter intubation time and extubation time, stable hemodynamics, no significant increase in allergic related adverse events. mivacurium is safe and effective.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of gender factor on the effective dose of oxycodone for inhibiting responses to laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in elderly patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. Methods: From June to October 2021, 56 elderly patients, including 26 females and 30 males, aged from 65 to 80 (72±5) years, with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of Ⅰ or Ⅱ, who underwent elective ophthalmic surgery requiring LMA insertion in the Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected. Patients were divided into two groups according to gender: elderly female group and elderly male group. The modified Dixon sequential method was used. Oxycodone 0.10 mg/kg was injected intravenously in the first patient. Etomidate 0.2 mg/kg and cisatracurium 0.1 mg/kg were administrated 5 min later. After 3 min, the laryngeal mask was placed when the bispectral index (BIS) ≤60. The positive response to LMA insertion was defined as an increase in the maximum mean arterial pressure or the maximum heart rate>20% of the baseline value within 2 min after insertion. When the response to LMA insertion was positive, the dose of oxycodone was increased in the next patient, otherwise the dose was decreased, and the ratio of adjacent dose was 1.1. This process was repeated until the 7th turning point occurred. The half-maximal effective doses (ED50) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of oxycodone for inhibiting laryngeal mask insertion were calculated and compared between the two groups. Meanwhile, the adverse reactions during anesthesia induction were observed. Results: All 26 patients in the elderly female group completed the test, but one patient in the elderly male group withdrew due to poor alignment of laryngeal mask, and finally 29 patients completed the study. There were 13 cases and 14 cases who had positive response to LMA insertion in the elderly female and male groups, respectively. The ED50 (95%CI) of oxycodone for inhibiting laryngeal mask insertion in the elderly male group was 0.096 (0.083-0.112) mg/kg, which was higher than that in the elderly female group [0.081 (0.073-0.098) mg/kg, P=0.008]. No adverse reactions such as choking cough, muscle tremor, hypoxemia, nausea, vomiting, reflux and aspiration occurred in 55 patients, except that one patient in the elderly female group had transient hypotension after induction, which improved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion: The ED50 of oxycodone for inhibiting laryngeal mask insertion reaction in ophthalmic surgery is different in patients with different genders, which is 0.096 (0.083-0.112) mg/kg in the elderly male group and 0.081 (0.073-0.098) mg/kg in the elderly female group.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the effects of topical anesthesia with 1% tetracaine on hemodynamic responses in general anesthesia patients undergoing microlaryngosurgery. Methods: From October 2021 to December 2021, 92 patients (46 males and 46 females) in Beijing Tongren Hospital, with a median age [M (Q1, Q3)] of 51 (42, 57) years who scheduled for microlaryngosurgery under general anesthesia, were divided into two groups (n=46 in each group) using the random number table method. Group T received topical anesthesia with 1% tetracaine at the root of the tongue and epiglottis and glottis on the basis of general intravenous anesthesia induction, with 0.5 ml at each position, while the control group (group C) received equal volume of normal saline. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded at the time of patients entering the operating room (baseline), after induction, after intubation, immediately after suspending laryngoscopy, 1 min after suspending laryngoscopy, 3 min after suspending laryngoscopy, 5 min after suspending laryngoscopy and immediately after extubation. The recovery profiles, including time to recover breathing, time to open eyes, time to extubation and adverse reactions were evaluated during recovery period. Results: The MAP of patients in group T at baseline, after induction, after intubation, immediately after suspending laryngoscopy, 1 min after suspending laryngoscopy, 3 min after suspending laryngoscopy, 5 min after suspending laryngoscopy and immediately after extubation were (99.4±12.9), (78.5±8.8), (79.2±10.2), (100.6±17.0), (101.9±14.7), (100.8±13.9), (97.4±12.1), (107.3±16.8) mmHg (1 mmH=0.133 kPa), respectively, while in group C were (99.5±11.6), (80.9±12.8), (90.5±16.0), (109.5±20.4), (108.0±18.9), (103.7±15.5), (100.1±13.3), (114.2±17.3) mmHg, respectively. The two critical time points of MAP after intubation and immediately suspending laryngoscopy in group C were significantly higher than group T (P<0.05).The HR of patients in group T at baseline, after induction, after intubation, immediately after suspending laryngoscopy, 1 min after suspending laryngoscopy, 3 min after suspending laryngoscopy, 5 min after suspending laryngoscopy and immediately after extubation was (71.3±10.6), (66.0±10.1), (69.5±11.4), (61.3±14.2), (69.8±9.8), (71.0±10.6), (70.6±11.0), (78.8±11.6) bmp, respectively, while in group C were (73.1±10.9), (67.8±9.9), (79.5±12.9), (57.1±18.1), (69.2±12.8), (71.4±11.7), (70.7±11.5), (85.3±13.0) bmp, respectively. The two critical time points of HR after intubation and after extubation in group C were significantly higher than that of group T (P<0.05). The time to recover breathing in the two groups was (11.8±3.5) min and (11.3±4.6) min, respectively. The time to open eyes was (12.0±3.3) min and (11.5±5.0) min, respectively. The time to extubation was (13.2±3.7) min and (12.6±4.9) min, respectively. There were no statistically significant difference in time to recovery between the two groups (P>0.05). Likewise, there were no toxic reactions to local anesthetics, respiratory depression, hypoxemia, laryngospasm and cough occurred in either group. Conclusion: Topical anesthesia with 1% tetracaine can effectively reduce the hemodynamic changes without influencing patient's recovery, and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Abstract
Obesity has recently been defined as a chronic low-grade inflammatory disease. Obesity-induced inflammation of adipose tissue (AT) is an essential trigger for insulin resistance (IR) and related metabolic diseases. Although the underlying molecular basis of this inflammation has not been fully identified, there is consensus that the recruited and activated macrophages in AT are the most important culprits of AT chronic inflammation. Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) are highly plastic and could be polarized from an anti-inflammatory M2 to proinflammatory M1 phenotypes on stimulation by microenvironmental signals from obese AT. Many efforts have been made to elucidate the molecular signaling pathways of macrophage polarization; however, the upstream drivers governing and activating macrophage polarization have rarely been summarized, particularly regulatory messages from the AT microenvironment. In addition to adipocytes, the AT bed also contains a variety of immune cells, stem cells, as well as vascular, neural, and lymphatic tissues throughout, which together orchestrate the AT microenvironment. Here, we summarize how the aforesaid neighbors of ATMs in the AT microenvironment send messages to ATMs and thus regulate its phenotype during obesity. Deciphering the biology and polarization of ATMs in the obese environment is expected to provide a precise immunotherapy for adipose inflammation and obesity-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Metal-free and metal-containing molecular trefoil knots are fascinating ensembles that are usually covalently assembled, the latter requiring the rational design of di- or multidentate/multipodal ligands as connectors. In this work, we describe the self-assembly of pentadecanuclear AuI trefoil knots [Au15 (C≡CR)15 ] from monoalkynes HC≡CR (R=9,9-X2 -fluorenyl with X=nBu, n-hexyl) and [AuI (THT)Cl]. Hetero-bimetallic counterparts [Au9 M6 (C≡CR)15 ] (M=Cu/Ag) were self-assembled by reactions of [Au15 (C≡CR)15 ] with [Cu(MeCN)4 ]+ /AgNO3 and HC≡CR. The type of pentadecanuclear trefoil knots described herein is characterized by X-ray crystallography, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. [Au9 Cu6 (C≡CR)15 ] is relatively stable in hexane; its excited state properties were investigated. DFT calculations revealed that non-covalent metal-metal and metal-ligand interactions, together with longer alkyl chain-strengthened inter-ligand dispersion interactions, govern the stability of the trefoil knot structures.

Abstract
Primary open-angle glaucoma is a chronic progressive optic neuropathy. There is no symptom in the early stage of the disease, but in the middle and late stages, it is difficult to be controlled and can lead to irreversible blindness. Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease is very important. For a long time, a visual field defect has been an important standard for its diagnosis. In recent years, however, preperimetric glaucoma (PPG) has been paid much attention, which is the very early stage of open-angle glaucoma. Although the visual field is normal, there is glaucomatous optic neuropathy in PPG eyes, which may progress to visual field defects. By expounding and analyzing the definition, mechanism, clinical evidence, diagnostic methods and therapeutic value of PPG, this article puts forward the view that facing up to the existence of PPG in clinics is helpful to find the condition of glaucoma early, and timely follow-up and accurate judgement of the treatment opportunity are key to preventing glaucomatous visual field defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circular RNA (circRNA) affects the occurrence and development of human cancers, but the specific mechanism of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been fully understood. METHODS CircRNAs were determined by human circRNA array analysis and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell viability, migration, invasion, and other indicators were used for cell function analysis. Knockdown and overexpression techniques were used to explore the mechanism of circCORO1C in the occurrence and development of HCC by RNA sequencing, qRT-PCR, western blot, and other methods. RESULTS Among the thousands of circRNAs, 1238 circRNAs were significantly changed. As for the top 10 upregulated circRNAs, the expression of circRNAs, hsa_circ_0036412, hsa_circ_0036411, hsa_circ_0028071, hsa_circ_0036409, hsa_circ_0000437, hsa_circ_0021427, hsa_circ_0097182, hsa_circ_0028067, hsa_circ_0006852, and hsa_circ_0003620 were significantly increased. In regard to the top 10 downregulated circRNAs, the expression of hsa_circ_0123629, hsa_circ_0096121, hsa_circ_0038932, hsa-circRNA3310-44, hsa_circ_0045746, hsa_circ_0016836, hsa-circRNA10899-9, hsa_circ_0050116, hsa_circ_0035543, and hsa_circ_0092118 decreased significantly. About these circRNAs, the downregulation of hsa_circ_0006852 (circCORO1C) can inhibit the tumorigenesis of HCC cells in vivo and in vitro, and the overexpression of circCORO1C can enhance the proliferation and metastasis ability of HCC cells. Mechanistically, circCORO1C activated the NF-κB signaling pathway, increased P65 phosphorylation and upregulation of c-Myc and COX-2, leading to increased PD-L1 expression. CONCLUSION CircCORO1C upregulates c-Myc and COX-2 through NF-κB signaling pathway, leading to the upregulation of PD-L1, which jointly promotes the development of HCC, suggesting that circCORO1C is a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC.

Abstract
The photo-induced cleavage of C(sp2)-Cl bonds is an appealing synthetic tool in organic synthesis, but usually requires the use of high UV light, photocatalysts and/or photosensitizers. Herein is described a direct photo-induced chloroarene activation with UVA/blue LEDs that can be used in the reductive Heck cyclization of indoles and without the use of a photocatalyst or photosensitizer. The indole compounds examined display room-temperature phosphorescence. The photochemical reaction tolerates a panel of functional groups including esters, alcohols, amides, cyano and alkenes (27 examples, 50-88% yields), and can be used to prepare polycyclic compounds and perform the functionalization of natural product analogues in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic experiments, including time-resolved absorption spectroscopy, are supportive of photo-induced electron transfer between the indole substrate and DIPEA, with the formation of radical intermediates in the photo-induced dearomatization reaction.

Abstract
Due to the relative shortage of health resources, rational allocation and utilization of health resources is critical to achieving the maximum economic benefits in developing countries, which requires a health economic assessment to meet the needs to balance the competitive requirements of cost reduction and effectiveness enhancement. This review describes the advances in applications of health economic assessment techniques in four major infectious diseases, including AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and schistosomiasis. Currently, there is no standard economic assessment in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, and notably, the transparency of cost research is limited, which may affect the popularization of the study conclusions. Further health economic assessments of infectious diseases are required to improve the quality, standard and transparency of the economic evaluation through formulating strategies, to improve the standardization of studies, to improve the popularization of the study conclusions and to improve the applicability of the economic evaluation for policies.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the serratus anterior plane block combined with pectoral nerves block I can produce a non-inferior analgesic effect compared with thoracic paravertebral block for radical mastectomy. Methods: From October 2020 to February 2021, Sixty-four patients of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University scheduled for radical mastectomy with general anesthesia,were divided into two groups (n = 32 each) using a random number table method: thoracic paravertebral block group (TPVB group) and serratus anterior plane block combined with pectoral nerves block I group (S&P group). All patients received patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) postoperatively. The numerical rating scale (NRS) at post anesthesia care unit (PACU), 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 h after operation were compared between the two groups. Sufentanil cumulative dosage of PCIA in 24 h and 48 h, first press time after operation, total press times, the dosage of propofol, remifentanil and vasoactive drugs during operation, intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate, the operation time of block and adverse effects were all compared. Non-inferiority could be claimed if the difference of sufentanil cumulative dosage in 24 h between S&P group and TPVB group is higher than the negative value (-3.8) of the non-inferiority effect. Results: There was no significant difference in postoperative NRS at PACU, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 h after operation, first press time after operation, total press times, propofol and remifentanil dosage, sufentanil cumulative dosage of PCIA in 24 h and 48 h, and adverse effects (all P>0.05). The sufentanil cumulative dosage of PCIA in 24 h of S&P group and of TPVB group were (15.8±4.7) μg and (15.2±3.2) μg. The 95% confidence interval (CI) of the difference between S&P group and of TPVB group was -1.478 to 2.694, and the lower limit was greater than non-inferiority margin -3.8. The mean arterial pressure of TPVB patients after induction and at the beginning of the operation were (63±7) mmHg and (70±7) mmHg, which were significantly lower than the (77±5) mmHg and (79±8) mmHg at the same time in the combination group (both P<0.05). The frequency of vasoactive drugs usage in TPVB group was 56.3%, which was statistically significant higher than the 18.8% in S&P group (P<0.01). Nerve block time in TPVB group was 10 (9, 11) min, which was significantly longer than 8 (6, 10) min in S&P group (P<0.01). Conclusion: The serratus anterior block combined with pectoral nerves block I can produce a non-inferior analgesic effect compared with thoracic paravertebral block for radical mastectomy, and the intraoperative hemodynamics is more stable and the block time is shorter than that of thoracic paravertebral block for radical mastectomy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the associations between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and occurrence and clinical features in pregnant women complicated by preeclampsia (PE). Methods: We recruited 42 427 pregnant women who were diagnosed with intrauterine pregnancy at Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital from July 2017 to December 2019, with a gestational age of 6~8+6 weeks, excluding those with basic diseases and incomplete medical records. Among them, 659 were diagnosed with PE. According to the pre-pregnancy BMI, the pregnant women were divided into underweight group (42 cases), normal body weight group (422 cases), overweight group (138 cases) and obesity group (57 cases). Maternal outcomes (the occurrence of preeclampsia, cesarean delivery rate) and neonatal outcomes (birth weight, Apgar score and neonatal ICU admission) were recorded. The maternal outcomes, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, newborn birth weight, Apgar score and admission to neonatal ICU were compared among the pregnant women in each group. Logistic regression model was established to analyze the influence of different pre-pregnancy BMI on the occurrence and clinical features of PE. Results: The incidence of PE was 1.55% (659/42 427), and the incidence of PE was 0.61% (42/6 941), 1.44% (422/29 297), 2.62% (138/5 273) and 6.22% (57/916) in the underweight group, the normal weight group, the overweight group and the obesity group, respectively. After adjustment for age, parity, educational level, history of preeclampsia, and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), compared with normal group, the adjusted OR for developing early-onset PE were 0.57 (95%CI: 0.29-1.02) for underweight, 1.03 (95%CI: 0.65-1.56) for overweight and 2.15 (95%CI: 1.03-4.02) for obesity groups. The OR for developing late-onset PE were 0.50 (95%CI: 0.33-0.72) for underweight, 1.57 (95%CI: 1.23-1.99) for overweight and 4.25 (95%CI: 3.00-5.91) for obesity group. The OR for PE without severe features were 0.54 (95%CI: 0.30-0.89), 1.40 (95%CI: 0.97-1.99) and 5.11 (95%CI: 3.22-7.84) for underweight, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The OR for severe PE were 0.51 (95%CI: 0.33-0.75), 1.42 (95%CI: 1.10-1.83) and 2.97 (95%CI: 1.95-4.38) for underweight, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The median neonate birth weight in women with PE were 2 420 g (1 602-2 845 g), 2 435 g (1 692-3 030 g), 2 540 g (1 922-3 132 g), and 2 950 g (2 050-3 360 g) for underweight, normal, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The neonatal birth weight in obesity group was heavier than that in normal group (P<0.05). The incidence rates of large for gestational age (LGA) in PE women were 0 (0/42), 3.3% (14/422), 7.3% (10/138) and 17.5% (10/57) for underweight, normal, overweight and obesity groups, respectively. The incidence rate of LGA in obesity group was higher than that in normal group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Pre-pregnancy obesity is an independent risk factor for PE. Obesity related PE is more likely associated with late-onset PE and LGA. It is recommended to control weight before pregnancy, limit weight gain during pregnancy and control blood pressure to reduce the incidence of PE and ensure the safety of mother and child.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based radiomic model in predicting the texture of pituitary macroadenoma. Methods: The complete data of 101 patients with pituitary macroadenoma confirmed by surgery and pathology in Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from December 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the texture of the intraoperative pituitary tumor, patients were divided into soft group (n=58) and hard group (n=43). They were randomly divided into training group (n=72) and validation group (n=29) at a ratio of 7∶3. All patients underwent conventional MRI scan of the pituitary gland. Itk-snap software was used to manually outline the T(1)-weighted image (T(1)WI), T(2)-weighted image (T(2)WI) and enhanced T(1)WI image section by section on tumor area of interest (ROI) and perform three-dimensional fusion. Then AK software was imported to extract texture features. The regression analysis methods of minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) were used for feature selection and radiomic signature establishment. The reliability of the model was verified by 100 leave-group-out cross validation (LGOCV), and the predictive ability of the model was evaluated by drawing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical application value of the model. Results: The AUC (Area Under the ROC Curve) (95%CI) values of T1WI, T2WI, enhanced T1WI, and the combined sequence model to predict the texture of pituitary macroadenomas in the training and validation groups were 0.91 (0.84-0.98) and 0.90 (0.78-1.00), 0.86 (0.78-0.95) and 0.83 (0.64-1.00), 0.90 (0.83-0.97) and 0.89 (0.77-1.00),0.92 (0.85-0.98) and 0.91 (0.79-1.00), respectively. DCA demonstrated that T(1)WI, T(2)WI, enhanced T(1)WI, and combined sequence model all had good net benefits in clinical practice. Conclusions: T(1)WI, T(2)WI, enhanced T(1)WI, and combined sequence model of conventional MRI all had high efficacy in predicting the texture of pituitary macroadenoma, which provided a new quantitative method for predicting the texture of pituitary macroadenoma.

Abstract
A transition-metal-free C(sp2 )-C(sp2 ) bond formation reaction by the cross-coupling of diazo quinones with catechol boronic esters was developed. With this protocol, a variety of biaryls and alkenyl phenols were obtained in good to high yields under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates various functionalities and is applicable to the derivatization of pharmaceuticals and natural products. The synthetic utility of the method was demonstrated by the short synthesis of multi-substituted triphenylenes and three bioactive natural products, honokiol, moracin M, and stemofuran A. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the reaction involves attack of the boronic ester by a singlet quinone carbene followed by a 1,2-rearrangement through a stepwise mechanism.

Abstract
The realization of photocatalysis for practical synthetic application hinges on the development of inexpensive photocatalysts which can be prepared on a large scale. Herein an air-stable, visible-light-absorbing photoluminescent tungsten(vi) complex which can be conveniently prepared at the gram-scale is described. This complex could catalyse photochemical organic transformation reactions including borylation of aryl halides, such as aryl chloride, reductive coupling of benzyl bromides for C-C bond formation, reductive coupling of phenacyl bromides, and decarboxylative coupling of redox-active esters of alkyl carboxylic acid with high product yields and broad functional group tolerance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate the diagnostic value of variable-temperature and isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques in the detection of schistosomiasis japonica using a meta-analysis. METHODS The publications pertaining to the nucleic acid detection of schistosomiasis japonica were searched in electronic databases, including Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, PubMed and ScienceDirect, and the compilations and proceedings of schistosomiasis were manually searched. In addition, the citations of publications associated with the nucleic acid detection of schistosomiasis japonica were traced using a document tracing method. The retrieved literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data were extracted from the included literatures. The quality of the included literatures was assessed using the software RevMan version 5.3, and a meta-analysis was performed using the software MetaDiSc version 1.4. RESULTS A total of 19 publications covering 24 groups of studies were enrolled, including 5 Chinese publications and 14 English publications. There were 17 groups of studies reporting the comparison between the variable-temperature nucleic acid amplification technique and the golden standard, and 7 groups of studies showing the comparison between the isothermal nucleic acid amplification technique and the golden standard. Assessment of the literature quality indicated a minor overall bias of the included literatures, and the Deek funnel plot showed a possible publication bias in the documents reports variable-temperature nucleic acid amplification techniques. There was a heterogeneity caused by non-threshold effect among the studies associated with the variable-temperature amplification technique, and the random effects model was therefore used to combine the effects. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of the variable-temperature amplification technique were 0.81 (0.79 to 0.83) and 0.73 (0.71 to 0.74) for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica, and area under the SROC curve was 0.944 3. There was no heterogeneity among the studies associated with the isothermal amplification technique, and the fixed effects model was therefore used to combine the effects. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of the isothermal amplification technique were 0.96 (0.94 to 0.98) and 0.95 (0.94 to 0.97) for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica, and area under the SROC curve was 0.989 9. CONCLUSIONS Both variable-temperature and isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques have a high efficiency for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica, and the isothermal amplification technique shows a relatively higher accuracy than the variable-temperature amplification technique.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic values of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) calculated from pretreatment (18)F-fluorodeoxy glucose ((18)F-FDG) PET-CT results of patients with advanced extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL). Methods: The clinic data, follow-up data and pretreatment (18)F-FDG PET-CT data of 45 patients with ENKTL of stage Ⅳ were collected. The optimal cutoff value of progression-free survival (PFS) of SUV(max), MTV and TLG were analyzed by using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test and COX proportional hazards model were used for survival analysis, univariate analysis and multivariate analysis, respectively. Results: The median SUV(max), MTV and TLG of 45 ENKTL patients were 17.98, 70.18 and 755.42, respectively. ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of SUV(max), MTV and TLG were 0.504 (P=0.970), 0.868 (P<0.001) and 0.848 (P=0.001), respectively. The value of SUV(max) was too small to fit for calculating the cutoff value of AUC. The cutoff value of MTV was 42.54 (sensitivity =78.1% and specificity =84.6%), and the cutoff value of TLG was 435.15 (sensitivity=75.0% and specificity =76.9%). Univariate analysis showed that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, epstein-barr virus (EBV)-DNA, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, bone marrow, Korean prognostic index (KPI), MTV, TLG were significantly related with PFS (all P<0.05), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, EBV-DNA, ECOG score, primary tumor location, KPI, MTV, TLG were significantly related with overall survival (OS) (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that KPI, MTV and TLG were independent prognostic predictors of PFS and OS (all P<0.05). Conclusions: MTV and TLG of pretreatment (18)F-FDG PET-CT are independent prognostic factors for PFS and OS of patients with advanced ENKTL. MTV and TLG may be more fit for evaluating the prognosis of ENKTL patients than SUV(max).

Abstract
Objective: To study the effect of benazepril on the expression of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 (NOX4) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration in rats with hepatic fibrosis and to explore the possible antifibrotic mechanism of benazepril. Methods: Twenty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (6 rats), model group (8 rats) and benazepril treatment group (8 rats). Two rats died during modeling and treatment in the model group and the benazepril treatment group, and a model of hepatic fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCL(4)) was established. The rats in benazepril group were given benazepril for 8 weeks by gastric gavage. The assessment of liver tissue damage in each group was measured using conventional hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining. The mRNA level of Nrf2, NOX4 in liver tissue was detected by RT-PCR, and serum ROS concentration was determined by colorimetry. All data were expressed in mean ± standard deviations, and were analyzed using SPSS21.0 statistical software. The data were compared using one-way analysis of variance, and the LSD-t method was used for pairwise comparison between the two groups. The correlation analysis was performed by Spearman's correlation analysis. Results: In the liver of the model group, with the aggravation of liver fibrosis the expression of Nrf2mRNA, NOX4 mRNA and ROS concentration were higher than control group [(4.01 ± 3.40), (31.78 ± 3.96), (1.82 ± 0.46) μg/ ml vs. (0.12 ± 0.11), (2.03 ± 0.31), (1.56±0.84) μg/ml, P < 0.05]. After benazepril treatment, NOX4 mRNA expression and ROS concentration were decreased than the model group [(15.93 ± 5.01), (0.78 ± 0.44) μg/ml vs. (31.78 ± 3.96), (1.82 ± 0.46) μg /ml, P < 0.05], while Nrf2 mRNA expression was higher than the model group [(6.69 ± 4.86) vs. (4.01 ± 3.40), P < 0.05]. There was a positive correlation between Nrf2 and NOX4, Nrf2 and ROS, and NOX4 and ROS (r = 0.616, 0.411, 0.802, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Benazepril may exert an anti-hepatic fibrosis effect by activating Nrf2 expression, or may inhibit the ROS-mediated oxidative stress in response to NOX4.

Abstract
IgG4-related sialadenitis (IgG4-RS) is a newly recognized immune-mediated systemic fibroinflammatory disease that affects salivary glands and leads to hyposalivation. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a critical proinflammatory cytokine involved in several salivary gland disorders, but its role and mechanism regarding acinar cell injury in IgG4-RS are unknown. Here, we found that TNF-α level was significantly increased in serum and submandibular gland (SMG) of patients and that serum TNF-α level was negatively correlated with saliva flow rate. Ultrastructural observations of IgG4-RS SMGs revealed accumulation of large autophagic vacuoles, as well as dense fibrous bundles, decreased secretory granules, widened intercellular spaces, swollen mitochondria, and expanded endoplasmic reticulum. Expression levels of LC3 and p62 were both increased in patients' SMGs. TNF-α treatment led to elevated levels of LC3II and p62 in both SMG-C6 cells and cultured human SMG tissues but did not further increase their levels when combined with bafilomycin A1 treatment. Moreover, transfection of Ad-mCherry-GFP-LC3B in SMG-C6 cells confirmed the suppression of autophagic flux after TNF-α treatment. Immunofluorescence imaging revealed that costaining of LC3 and the lysosomal marker LAMP2 was significantly decreased in patients, TNF-α-treated SMG-C6 cells, and cultured human SMGs, indicating a reduction in autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Furthermore, the ratio of pro/mature cathepsin D was elevated in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro. TNF-α also appeared to induce abnormal acidification of lysosomes in acinar cells, as assessed by lysosomal pH and LysoTracker DND-26 fluorescence intensity. In addition, TNF-α treatment induced transcription factor EB (TFEB) redistribution in SMG-C6 cells, which was consistent with the changes observed in IgG4-RS patients. TNF-α increased the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, and inhibition of ERK1/2 by U0126 reversed TNF-α-induced TFEB redistribution, lysosomal dysfunction, and autophagic flux suppression. These findings suggest that TNF-α is a key cytokine related to acinar cell injury in IgG4-RS through ERK1/2-mediated autophagic flux suppression.

Abstract
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs), including M1-M5 subtypes, are classic receptors in regulating water, ion, and solute transport in salivary gland. Our work focuses on the studies on the expression pattern and function of mAChR in the submandibular gland (SMG), and the underlying mechanism involved in the mAChR-regulated secretion, together with the effect of parasympathectomy on the salivary secretion. Microvascular autotransplantation of SMG into the temporal fossa provides a continuous and endogenous source of fluids, and is currently an effective method for treating severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca. By using RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence, our data demonstrated that the expression of M1 and M3 subtypes were decreased in latent period in rabbit SMG autotransplantation model, whereas carbachol stimulation promoted the salivary secretion, as well as M1 and M3 expressions. By contrast, mAChRs were hypersensitive in epiphora SMGs, whereas atropine gel and botulinum toxin A application significantly inhibited the hypersecretion in both animal models and patients. Furthermore, the possible intracellular signal molecules involved in the mAChR-modulated salivary secretion were explored. Activation of mAChR upregulated the expression of aquaporin 5 (AQP5), the main transporter that mediated water secretion through transcellular pathway, and led to AQP5 trafficking from lipid rafts to non-lipid microdomain. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) was involved in the mAChR-regulated AQP5 content. mAChR activation also modulated the expression, distribution, and function of tight junction proteins, and increased paracellular permeability. ERK1/2/β-arrestin2/clathrin/ubiquitin signaling pathway was responsible for the mAChR-regulated downregulation of tight junction molecule claudin-4. Cytoskeleton filamentous actin (F-actin) was also involved in the distribution and barrier function of epithelial tight junctions. Besides, endothelial tight junctions were opened by mAChR agonist-evoked salivation in the mice. Furthermore, parasympathetic denervation increased resting salivary secretion in the long terminrats and minipigs. Taken together, our work demonstrated that mAChR regulated saliva secretion via transcellular and paracellular pathways in SMG epithelium as well as tight junction opening in SMG endothelium. Modulation of mAChR might be a promising strategy to ameliorate SMG dysfunction.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety of population based sequential vaccination schedule of inactivated poliovirus vaccines prepared with different strains. Methods: This randomized, parallel-group controlled trial was conducted from March, 2017 to May, 2018, in Shanghai. Adverse reaction data of Sabin strain inactivated polio vaccine (sIPV), wild strains inactivated polio vaccines (wIPV) and bivalent types Ⅰ and Ⅲ oral poliomyelitis vaccine (bOPV) were systematically collected through active observation in 1 917 infants in Shanghai after the vaccination at 2, 3, 4 months old. The eligible infants aged 2 months were divided into 4 groups: ①sIPV+sIPV+bOPV group; ②sIPV+wIPV+bOPV group; ③wIPV+sIPV+bOPV group; ④wIPV+wIPV+bOPV group. Results: The incidence of adverse reaction 30 days later after 3 basic dose vaccinations was 16.79% (946/5 633). No serious adverse reaction was reported. Local and systemic reactions were mainly mild. Common local reactions were pain, erythema, cutaneous nodule, etc.; and common systemic reactions were abnormal crying, drowsiness, diarrhea and appetite lost, etc.. The incidence of local reactions 30 days later after 3 basic dose vaccinations was 1.65% (93/5 633), and the incidence rates of grade 1-3 reactions were1.26% (71/5 633), 0.21% (12/5 633) and 0.20% (11/5 633) respectively. The incidence rate of systemic reactions 30 days later after 3 basic vaccinations was 15.14% (853/5 633), and the incidence rates of grade 1-3 reactions were 11.33% (638/5 633), 3.18% (179/5 633) and 0.64% (36/5 633) respectively. There were no significant differences in the rate of grade 3 reaction among different groups (χ(2)=4.17, P=0.24). Conclusions: No severe adverse reactions related to sequential vaccination of different strain inactivated polio vaccines were observed, most of reactions were mild and all of them were cured. It is safe to use sIPV and wIPV simultaneously or alternately for childhood sequential vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Tripterygium glycosides (TG) is the main active extractive of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F and is widely used in clinical practice to treat inflammatory diseases (including inflammatory bowel disease). However, due to its severe toxicity, TG is restricted to the treatment of many diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to study a new method to obtain the attenuated and synergistic extracts from TG. PURPOSE Tripterygium glycosides-n2 (TG-n2) was obtained from TG by a new preparation method. In this study, we aimed to investigate the difference in the chemical compositions between TG and TG-n2, further explored its toxicity and therapeutic effects on DSS-induced colitis in mice. METHODS The major chemical compositions of TG and TG-n2 were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Subsequently, acute toxicity test was applied to evaluate the toxicity difference between TG and TG-n2. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis model was used to explore the therapeutic effect of TG and TG-n2 and their potential mechanisms of action. RESULTS We found that the chemical compositions of TG-n2 is different from TG. The main difference is the ratio of triptriolide (T11) / triptolide (T9). Acute toxicity test proved that TG-n2 was less toxic than TG. Base on this, further studies showed that TG-n2 has a similar therapeutic effect as compared to TG on attenuating the symptoms of colitis, such as diarrhea, bloody stools, body weight loss, colonic atrophy, histopathological changes, inhibiting cytokines secretion and reducing absolute lymph number. In addition, TG and TG-n2 can increase the apoptosis of T lymphocyte in vivo. Further investigated showed that TG and TG-n2 could increase the expressions of Bax and p62 on CD3-positive T cells. CONCLUSION This study showed that oral administration of TG-n2 is safer than TG. Moreover, the attenuated TG-n2 has the similar therapeutic effect on treating experimental colitis in mice when compared to TG. Its mechanism may be related to activating the expression of Bax in T cells and inducing T cells autophagy to regulate the survival of T lymphocytes in colitis mice, thus reducing inflammation in colon.

Abstract
Autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the development of multiple cancers via regulating cancer cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. However, no detailed studies have been performed to study the role of autonomic nerve fibers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as its correlation with the progression of HCC. Here, we examined the distribution of the autonomic nerve fibers and analyzed the correlation between autonomic nerve fibers and the pathological characteristics of HCC patients. The transcriptional expression of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors was evaluated in both hepatoma cell lines and primary hepatoma cells. In addition, we summarized the function of receptors for neurotransmitters in different cancers recently reported. Our findings indicate that tissue of liver cancer is innervated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and the density of the nerve fibers is associated with patients' poor prognosis. Additionally, we report that adrenergic receptors β2 and cholinergic receptors α7, M1 and M3 are high expressed in both hepatoma cell lines and primary hepatoma cells, indicating these receptors may play essential roles in the regulation of autonomic nervous system triggered HCC.

Abstract
Testicular adrenal rest tumours (TART) are aberrant adrenal tissue within the testes (1). Although benign, they can lead to obstruction of the seminiferous tubules and infertility in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). We report six boys who developed TART, a complication of CAH. Diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound and testicular vein sampling of elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) levels. Glucocorticoids dosages were increased 1½-2 folds to suppress size of the aberrant adrenal tissues. Despite reductions in 17-OHP, the lesions remained unchanged. Three patients had testis-sparing surgery to excise the TART and to preserve normal testicular tissues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A smooth transition of healthcare for young people with chronic illnesses from paediatric to adult healthcare services is important to ensure optimal outcome. At the moment, there are no standard guidelines to assess a patient's readiness to transfer care. METHODS A cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire, adapted from UNC (University of North Carolina) TRxANSITION self-assessment tool was conducted to evaluate patients' transition care readiness in paediatric haematology and paediatric diabetes clinic. RESULTS A total of 80 patients (37 thalassaemia and 43 diabetes) with the mean age of 21.2 (SD±4.3) years, were recruited during the 3-month study period. Majority of the patients have basic knowledge regarding their medications, and were able to comply with their follow-up. The mean total score obtained by the respondents on this questionnaire was 15.3 (SD±3.59). Self-management skills and knowledge on disease were the two poorly scored section; with mean score of 3.78 (SD±1.38) and 4.28 (SD±1.20) respectively. Overall, only 21 (26.2%) respondents obtained high score (score above 75th percentile). Seventy-five percent of the respondents admitted that they were not ready for transfer to an adult healthcare service yet at the time of the study. CONCLUSION We suggest that patients with high score should be prepared for transition to adult facility whereas those with a low score need to be identified to ensure provision of continuous education.

Abstract
In our previous study, it was demonstrated that the Stathmin1 (STMN1) is overexpressed in gastric cancer (GC) and that its high expression level is associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has also been shown to be critically involved in GC invasion and metastasis. Certain studies have indicated that STMN1 may serve an important role in the EMT process. However, the association between STMN1 expression and EMT-associated markers, as well as clinicopathological characteristics of patients with GC, remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinicopathological significance and prognostic value of STMN1 and EMT-associated markers in GC. The expression of STMN1 and the EMT-associated proteins E-cadherin (E-Cad) and vimentin (VIM) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry in GC and adjacent non-tumorous tissues. Associations between the expression of these markers and clinicopathological parameters were analyzed. The association between STMN1 expression and EMT-associated markers was investigated in the GC cell lines BGC-803 and SGC-7901. The results revealed that STMN1 was expressed in 63.5% of the 167 GC tissues, which was significantly higher than the percentage observed in the adjacent non-tumorous tissues (P=0.003). The STMN1 expression was demonstrated to be positively associated with the VIM levels (P=0.001) and negatively associated with the E-Cad levels (P=0.022) in GC tissues. The STMN1 expression was associated with Lauren's Classification, invasion depth, lymph node metastasis and pathological Tumor-Node-Metastasis (pTNM) stage (P<0.05). In the univariate analyses, the high E-Cad expression was a positive prognostic indicator for overall survival, whereas the high STMN1 and VIM expression was a negative indicator. COX multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the pTNM stage [hazard ratio (HR) 1.912, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.282–2.851, P=0.001] and E-Cad expression (HR 0.403, 95% CI: 0.249–0.650, P=0.000) were independent prognostic factors. It was also revealed that the expression level of E-Cad decreased, while the expression level of VIM increased by depleting STMN1 levels in GC cells. The present results suggest that the aberrant expression of STMN1 may promote tumor progression through EMT in GC.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value between CBCT and MSCT in the styloid process syndrome. Method:One case with styloid process syndrome is selected examination of CBCT and MSCT in the patient's position of styloid process. The length and the angle of the styloid process in the picture of CBCT and MSCT were measured and had a construct with each other. Result:MSCT is slightly clearer than CBCT in the imaging of styloid process, but there is no obvious difference in the length and angle measurement of styloid process between them. Conclusion:Except for MSCT, CBCT is another important means in the diagnosis of styloid process syndrome, CBCT has a great clinical application value.
