Abstract
1. Skeletal muscle is an important component of chicken carcass. In chickens, the number of muscle fibres is fixed during the embryonic period, and muscle development during the embryonic period determines the muscle development potential after hatching.2. Beijing-You (BY) and Cornish (CN) chickens show completely different growth rates and body types, and two breeds were used in this study to explore the role of lncRNAs in muscle development during different chicken embryonic periods. A systematic analysis of lncRNAs and mRNAs were conducted in the pectoral muscle tissues of BY and CN chickens at embryonic days 11 (ED11), 13 (ED13), 15 (ED15), 17 (ED17), and 1-day-old (D1) using RNA-seq. A total of 4,104 differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) were identified among the five stages, including 2,359 lncRNAs and 1,745 mRNAs.3. The number of DETs between the two breeds at ED17 (1,658 lncRNAs and 1,016 mRNAs) was much higher than the total number of DET at all the other stages (692 lncRNAs and 729 mRNAs), indicating that the two breeds show the largest difference in gene regulation at ED17.4. Correlation analysis was performed for all differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs during the five periods. Forty-three, cis interaction pairs of lncRNA-mRNA related to chicken muscle development were predicted. The expression of four pairs was verified, and the results showed MSTRG.12395.2-FGFBP2 and MSTRG.18590.6-FMOD were significantly up-regulated in CN at ED11 compared to BY and might be important candidate genes for embryonic muscle development.

Abstract
The incidence of gastric cancer ranks fifth among malignant tumors worldwide, with the fourth highest mortality rate. A noteworthy characteristic of our country is the high prevalence of advanced-stage patients of approximately 40%. Advanced-stage gastric cancer carries an unfavorable prognosis with median survival of around one year. Diagnosis methods for advanced-stage gastric cancer (such as laparoscopic exploration, molecular profiling, and artificial intelligence) are still being continuously improved, while chemotherapy remains the primary treatment. With the rapid development of medical science, the role of surgical intervention in advanced-stage gastric cancer is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, as gastric tumor surgeons, we should consider how to use a combination of treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and interventional therapy, based on different pathological stages and the heterogeneity of tumors. With a multidisciplinary approach involving experts from various fields, we can collectively improve the survival rate and quality of life for advanced-stage patients. This article provides a brief overview of the current advances in the diagnosis and treatment of advanced-stage gastric cancer, and discusses therapeutic decision primarily from the perspective of surgeons.

Abstract
Delayed recanalization at days or weeks beyond the therapeutic window was shown to improve functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Previous preclinical study reported that trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) was secreted by liver after cerebral ischemia and acted a distant neuroprotective factor. Here, we investigated the liver-derived TFF3-mediated neuroprotective mechanism enhanced by delayed recanalization after AIS. A total of 327 male Sprague-Dawley rats and the model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with permanent occlusion (pMCAO) or with delayed recanalization at 3 d post-occlusion (rMCAO) were used. Partial hepatectomy was performed within 5 min after MCAO. Leucine-rich repeat and immunoglobulin-like domain-containing nogo receptor-interacting protein 2 (LINGO2) siRNA was administered intracerebroventricularly at 48 h after MCAO. Recombinant rat TFF3 (rr-TFF3, 30 μg/Kg) or recombinant rat epidermal growth factor (rr-EGF, 100 μg/Kg) was administered intranasally at 1 h after recanalization, and EGFR inhibitor Gefitinib (75 mg/Kg) was administered intranasally at 30 min before recanalization. The evaluation of outcomes included neurobehavior, ELISA, western blot and immunofluorescence staining. TFF3 in hepatocytes and serum were upregulated in a similar time-dependent manner after MCAO. Compared to pMCAO, delayed recanalization increased brain TFF3 levels and attenuated brain damage with the reduction in neuronal apoptosis, infarct volume and neurological deficits. Partial hepatectomy reduced TFF3 levels in serum and ipsilateral brain hemisphere, and abolished the benefits of delayed recanalization on neuronal apoptosis and neurobehavioral deficits in rMCAO rats. Intranasal rrTFF3 treatment reversed the changes associated with partial hepatectomy. Delayed recanalization after MCAO increased the co-immunoprecipitation of TFF3 and LINGO2, as well as expressions of p-EGFR, p-Src and Bcl-2 in the brain. LINGO2 siRNA knockdown or EGFR inhibitor reversed the effects of delayed recanalization on apoptosis and brain expressions of LINGO2, p-EGFR, p-Src and Bcl-2 in rMCAO rats. EGFR activator abolished the deleterious effects of LINGO2 siRNA. In conclusion, our investigation demonstrated for the first time that delayed recanalization may enhance the entry of liver-derived TFF3 into ischemic brain upon restoring blood flow after MCAO, which attenuated neuronal apoptosis and neurological deficits at least in part via activating LINGO2/EGFR/Src pathway.

Abstract
Fast electron/ion transport and cycling stability of anode materials are key factors for achieving a high rate performance of battery materials. Herein, we successfully fabricated a carbon-coated Mo2C nanofiber (denoted as laser Mo2C@C) as the lithium ion battery anode material by laser carbonization of PAN-PMo12 (PAN = Polyacrylonitrile; PMo12 = H3PMo12O40). The highly graphitized carbon layer in laser Mo2C@C effectively protects Mo2C from agglomeration and flaking while facilitating electron transfer. As such, the laser Mo2C@C electrode displays an excellent electrochemical stability under 5 A g-1, with a capacity up to 300 mA h g-1 after 3000 cycles. Furthermore, the extended X-ray absorption fine structure results show the existence of some Mo vacancies in Mo2C@C. Density functional theory calculations further prove that such vacancies make the defective Mo2C@C composites energetically more favorable for lithium storage in comparison with the intact Mo2C.

Abstract
PURPOSE Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the main presentation in adults with moyamoya disease (MMD), an unusual clinical entity with a poor prognosis. However, optimal management in the acute stage of ICH in patients with MMD remains a challenge. Since minimally invasive surgery (MIS) plus local thrombolysis has emerged as a promising strategy for ICH, we aimed to describe our experience of performing this procedure in this special population in the acute phase, while focusing on its efficacy and safety. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical data of patients with ICH treated with MIS and local thrombolysis between November 2013 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed at our institution. MMD was identified based on the angiographic images. The primary outcome was postoperative intracranial rebleeding. The secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality and 6-month outcome graded using the modified Rankin scale (mRS). Logistic regression was applied to explore independent risk factors for the above outcomes. RESULTS A cohort of consecutive 337 ICH patients was analysed, of whom 14 (4.15%) were diagnosed with MMD. In total, 36 (11.46%) patients experienced postoperative intracranial rehaemorrhage, of which one patient had MMD. No significant difference was found between the patients with and without MMD regarding postoperative rebleeding (9.09% vs. 11.55%, p = 1.000). Additionally, the 30-day mortality of patients with MMD was 21.42% (3/14), which was not significantly different from that of non-MMD patients (10.83%; p = 0.201). Moreover, 53.8% of patients had poor outcomes at the 6-month follow-up among MMD patients, similar to 43.9% of patients without MMD (p = 0.573). The coexistence of MMD failed to show a significant association with postoperative intracranial rebleeding (p = 0.348), 30-day mortality (p = 0.211), or poor outcome at the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.450). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that coexistent MMD is not associated with an increased risk of postoperative rebleeding or poor outcome after local thrombolysis for ICH.

Abstract
Objective: In order to understand the changing trends of gastric cancer incidence and mortality in early-onset and late-onset in China from 2000 to 2019. Methods: The Global Burden of Disease research data was collected, and Excel and R 4.2.1 softwares were used to examine the incidence rate, mortality rate, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of Chinese people from 2000 to 2019, with a focus on gender, age, and year. Results: In 2019, the crude incidence rates were 7.06/100 000 (95%UI: 6.63/100 000-7.59/100 000) and 114.52/100 000 (95%UI: 108.79/100 000-121.63/100 000) for early- and late-onset gastric cancer, respectively. The crude mortality rate for early-onset gastric cancer was 3.29/100 000 (95%UI: 3.11/100 000- 3.50/100 000), while the crude mortality rate for late-onset gastric cancer was 81.88/100 000 (95%UI: 78.15/100 000-86.04/100 000). Additionally, the crude DALY rates for these two types of gastric cancer were 156.48/100 000 (95%UI: 148.82/100 000-165.84/100 000) and 1 750.13/100 000 (95%UI: 1 661.21/100 000-1 852.99/100 000). The standardized incidence of early-onset gastric cancer decreased from 5.49/100 000 in 2000 to 4.76/100 000 in 2019, and that of late-onset gastric cancer decreased from 143.45/100 000 in 2000 to 123.02/100 000 in 2019.The standardized mortality rate of early-onset gastric cancer decreased from 4.16/100 000 in 2000 to 2.18/100 000 in 2019, and that of late-onset gastric cancer decreased from 140.82/100 000 in 2000 to 91.49/100 000 in 2019. The standardized DALY rate for early-onset gastric cancer in 2019 was 105.87/100 000 (95%UI: 87.98/100 000 -125.60/100 000), lower than 198.84/100 000 (95%UI: 179.47/100 000- 219.83/100 000) in 2000. The standardized DALY rate for late onset gastric cancer in 2019 was 1 821.11/100 000 (95%UI: 1 509.42/100 000-2 158.53/100 000), lower than 2 932.52/100 000 (95%UI: 2 665.92/100 000-3 252.60/100 000) in 2000. Conclusions: The standardized mortality rate of early-onset gastric cancer in China showed a decreasing trend from 2000 to 2019. The standardized mortality rate of late onset gastric cancer showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Notably, the incidence, mortality, and DALY of late-onset gastric cancer were significantly higher than those of early-onset gastric cancer during this period. Additionally, male incidence, mortality, and crude DALY rates were higher than female.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is highly prevalent in stroke survivors and correlated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify the neural substrate of PSCI using atlas-based disconnectome analysis and assess the value of disconnection score, a baseline measure for stroke-induced structural disconnection, in PSCI prediction. METHODS A multicenter prospective cohort of 676 first-ever patients with acute ischemic stroke was enrolled from 3 independent hospitals in China. Sociodemographic, clinical, and neuroimaging data were collected at acute stage of stroke. Cognitive assessment was performed at 3 months after stroke. Voxel-wise and tract-wise disconnectome analysis were performed to uncover the strategic structural disconnection pattern for global PSCI. Disconnection score was calculated for each participant in leave-one-dataset-out cross-validation. Multivariable logistic regression was performed for the association between disconnection score and PSCI. Prediction models with and without disconnection score were developed, cross-validated, and compared in terms of discrimination and goodness-of-fit. RESULTS Compared with lesions of non-PSCI, those of PSCI were more likely to have fiber connections with left prefrontal cortex and left deep structures (thalamus and basal ganglia). Disconnection score could predict the risk and severity of PSCI during cross-validation, and was independently associated with PSCI after controlling for all baseline covariates (odds ratio, 1.38 [95% CI, 1.17-1.64]; P<0.001). Incorporating disconnection score into a reference model with 6 known predictors resulted in significant improvement in both discrimination and goodness-of-fit throughout cross-validation. CONCLUSIONS A strategic structural disconnection pattern centered on left prefrontal cortex, thalamus, and basal ganglia is identified for global PSCI using indirect disconnectome analysis. The baseline disconnection score is independently predictive of PSCI and has significant incremental value to preexisting sociodemographic, clinical, and neuroimaging predictors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage is extremely complicated, and the exact mechanism remains puzzling. Piezo1, a novel mammalian mechanosensitive ion channel, has been identified to play important roles in several pathologic and physiologic procedures that involve cellular mechanotransduction. However, the role of Piezo1 in hematoma compression after intracerebral hemorrhage is still unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, we established a balloon-inflated brain model based on an adult male rat mimicking the pure mechanical compression of a hematoma. Then the behavioral assessment (Garcia Scale) was taken to observe the syndrome after "hematoma". Western blotting and immunofluorescence were applied to detect Piezo1 expression around lesions in rat brains. ELISA was used for quantitative analysis of inflammation factors. A statistical significance was confirmed as P value<0.05. RESULTS Balloon compression lesions were detected in the basal ganglia region of the brain, resulting in abnormal behaviors and a significant increase in the expression of Piezo1 and proinflammatory cytokines. GsMTx4, an antagonist of Piezo1, reversed these effects. Additionally, the balloon deflation time affected behavioral function and the levels of Piezo1 and proinflammatory cytokines. CONCLUSION These results establish the first in vivo evidence for the role of Piezo1 in blood-brain neuroinflammation after hematoma compression. Piezo1 showed "bidirectional mechanosensitivity" and therefore is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the advantages and safety of a modified mattress inversion suturing using double barbed sutures compared with the traditional overlap method in totally laparoscopic esophagojejunostomy overlap anastomosis. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) patients were aged 18 - 80 years old; (2) adenocarcinoma was preoperatively confirmed by pathological analysis; (3) patients had undergone a complete laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy; (4) patients had undergone esophagojejunostomy using the overlap method; (5) patients received a grade of I-III on the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system; (6) patients' complete follow-up data had been collected. Patients with a history of other malignant tumors, multi-origin tumors, emergency surgery, non-R0 radical resection or distant metastasis were excluded. The clinical data of 89 gastric cancer patients who underwent total laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2019 to December 2020 were collected. These patients were grouped according to the esophagojejunostomy method used. Of 89 patients, 32 received modified mattress inversion suturing with double barbed sutures to close the common opening of esophagojejunostomy (the modified anastomosis group), while 57 received traditional overlap anastomosis in which the common opening was closed by barbed suture (the traditional anastomosis group). The operation conditions (incision length, conversion to laparotomy, duration of esophagojejunostomy) and postoperative recovery (time to commencement of a liquid diet, duration of postoperative hospital stay, anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, and anastomotic bleeding) were compared between the two groups. Results: There was no significant difference in the baseline data of the two groups for any parameter (all P>0.05). All patients received complete laparoscopic radical gastrectomy without conversion to laparotomy. There were no significant differences in the length of the median incision, the proportion of food intake on the first day after surgery, or in the incidence of anastomotic complications such as anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, and anastomotic bleeding between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the traditional anastomosis group, patients in the modified anastomosis group had shorter anastomosis time [26 (19-62) minutes vs. 36 (20-50) minutes, Z=-2.546, P=0.011] and postoperative hospital stay [7 (6-12) days vs. 9 (7-42) days, Z=-4.202, P<0.001]. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In a subgroup analysis of tumor TNM stage III, Siewert type II and neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients, there was no significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic complications between the modified group and the traditional group. However, the postoperative hospital stay duration in the modified anastomosis group was less than in the traditional anastomosis group. The duration of anastomosis in Siewert type II patients was also shorter in the modified anastomosis group than in the traditional anastomosis group [26 (19-62) minutes vs. 38 (21-50) minutes, Z=-2.105, P=0.035], and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Complete laparoscopic esophagojejunostomy using modified mattress inversion suturing with double barbed sutures is a safe and feasible anastomosis method to close the common opening of esophagojejunostomy, with shorter operation time, faster postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stay than the traditional method.

Abstract
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) acts as a physical and biochemical barrier that plays a fundamental role in regulating the blood-to-brain influx of endogenous and exogenous components and maintaining the homeostatic microenvironment of the central nervous system (CNS). Acute stroke leads to BBB disruption, blood substances extravasation into the brain parenchyma, and the consequence of brain edema formation with neurological impairment afterward. Caspase-1, one of the evolutionary conserved families of cysteine proteases, which is upregulated in acute stroke, mainly mediates pyroptosis and compromises BBB integrity via lytic cellular death and inflammatory cytokines release. Nowadays, targeting caspase-1 has been proven to be effective in decreasing the occurrence of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and in attenuating brain edema and secondary damages during acute stroke. However, the underlying interactions among caspase-1, BBB, and stroke still remain ill-defined. Hence, in this review, we are concerned about the roles of caspase-1 activation and its associated mechanisms in stroke-induced BBB damage, aiming at providing insights into the significance of caspase-1 inhibition on stroke treatment in the near future.

Abstract
Purpose Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common and severe psychological sequelae after stroke, negatively affecting the patient’s functional outcome and quality of life. Rapidly measurable biomarkers to predict PSD are pivotal for the optimized care and allocation of healthcare resources. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) levels are increased in patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders such as cerebral infarction and hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, which may be related to the occurrence of PSD in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. This study aimed to investigate whether LDH levels on admission are associated with PSD at discharge. Patients and Methods A multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted, including all consecutive AIS patients within 7 days after symptom onset from May 2018 to October 2019. According to the distribution of LDH and the number of patients, patients were divided into equal tertiles. PSD was evaluated by DSM-V criteria and the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD-17) at discharge. Results A total of 518 AIS patients were included. The optimal cut-off points of LDH were: lowest tertile (T1) 102–159/L, middle tertile (T2) 160–189 U/L, and upper tertile (T3) 190–520 U/L. A total of 249 patients (48.07%) were diagnosed with PSD at discharge. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the odds ratio of T3 PSD was 1.698 (95% CI, 1.070–2.694, P=0.025), compared with T1. Conclusion In summary, LDH serum levels on admission are associated with PSD at discharge. Clinicians should pay more attention to the baseline LDH level in screening for PSD at discharge.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Brain injury after ischemic stroke involves multiple pathophysiological mechanisms, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, calcium overload, neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. All of these factors are associated with dysfunctional energy metabolism after stroke. Mitochondria are organelles that provide adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the cell through oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial dynamics means that the mitochondria are constantly changing and that they maintain the normal physiological functions of the cell through continuous division and fusion. Mitochondrial dynamics are closely associated with various pathophysiological mechanisms of post-stroke brain injury. In this review, we will discuss the role of the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial dynamics in energy metabolism after ischemic stroke, as well as new strategies to restore energy homeostasis and neural function. Through this, we hope to uncover new therapeutic targets for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-induced neuron apoptosis plays a crucial role in the early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Kisspeptin has been reported as antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress-induced neuronal cell death through G protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54). The goal of this study was to determine the neuroprotection of the Kisspeptin/GRP54 signaling pathway against EBI after SAH. Two hundred and ninety-two Sprague Dawley male rats were used and SAH was induced by the endovascular perforation. Exogenous Kisspeptin 54 (KP54) was delivered intranasally. Small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) for endogenous KISS1, a selective GPR54 antagonist kisspeptin 234, or β-arrestin 2 siRNA for ARRB2 (a functional adaptor of GPR54) were administered intracerebroventricularly. Post-SAH evaluations included neurobehavioral tests, SAH grade, Western blot, immunofluorescence, Fluoro-Jade C, TUNEL, and Nissl staining. The results showed that endogenous KISS1 knockdown aggravated but exogenous KP54 (1.0 nmol/kg) treatment attenuated neurological deficits, brain oxidative stress, and neuronal apoptosis at 24 h after SAH. The benefits of KP54 persisted to 28 days after SAH, which significantly improved cognitive function in SAH rats. The GPR54 blockade or the ARRB2 knockout offset the neuroprotective effects of KP54 in SAH rats. In conclusion, our results suggested that administration of KP54 attenuated oxidative stress, neuronal apoptosis and neurobehavioral impairments through GPR54/ARRB2/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway after SAH in rat. Thus, KP54 may provide an effective treatment strategy for SAH patients.

Abstract
Hematoma clearance is an important therapeutic target to improve outcome following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recent studies showed that Neurokinin receptor-1 (NK1R) inhibition exerts protective effects in various neurological disease models, but its role in ICH has not been explored. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of NK1R and its relation to hematoma clearance after ICH using an autologous blood injection mouse model. A total of 332 adult male CD1 mice were used. We found that the expression levels of NK1R and its endogenous ligand, substance P (SP), were significantly upregulated after ICH. Intraperitoneal administration of the NK1R selective antagonist, Aprepitant, significantly improved neurobehavior, reduced hematoma volume and hemoglobin levels after ICH, and promoted microglia polarization towards M2 phenotype. Aprepitant decreased phosphorylated PKC, p38MAPK, and NFκB p65, and downregulated M1 markers while upregulating M2 markers after ICH. Intracerebroventricular administration of the NK1R agonist, GR73632 or PKC agonist, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) reversed the effects of Aprepitant. To demonstrate the upstream mediator of NK1R activation, we performed thrombin injection and found that it increased SP. Inhibiting thrombin suppressed SP and decreased M1 markers while increasing M2 microglia polarization. Thus, NK1R inhibition promoted hematoma clearance after ICH by increasing M2 microglial polarization via downregulating PKC/p38MAPK/NFκB signaling pathway, and thrombin may be a key upstream mediator of NK1R activation. Therapeutic interventions inhibiting NK1R signaling may be a new target for the treatment of ICH.

Abstract
The energetically viable fabrication of stable and highly efficient solid acid catalysts is one of the key steps in large‐scale transformation processes of biomass resources. Herein, the covalent modification of the classical Dawson polyoxometalate (POMs) with sulfonic acids (‐SO3H) is reported by grafting sulfonic acid groups on the POM's surface followed by oxidation of (3‐mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. The acidity of TBA6‐P2W17‐SO3H (TBA=tetrabutyl ammonium) has been demonstrated by using 31P NMR spectroscopy, clearly indicating the presence of strong Brønsted acid sites. The presence of TBA counterions renders the solid acid catalyst as a promising candidate for phase transfer catalytic processes. The TBA6‐P2W17‐SO3H shows remarkable activity and selectivity, excellent stability, and great substrate compatibility for the esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) with methanol and conversion into biodiesel at 70 °C with >98 % conversion of oleic acid in 20 min. The excellent catalytic performance can be attributed to the formation of a catalytically active emulsion, which results in a uniform catalytic behavior during the reaction, leading to efficient interaction between the substrate and the active sites of the catalyst. Most importantly, the catalyst can be easily recovered and reused without any loss of its catalytic activity owing to its excellent phase transfer properties. This work offers an efficient and cost‐effective strategy for large‐scale biomass conversion applications.

Abstract
Background The prognosis of patients with advanced schistosomiasis is poor. Pre-existing prognosis studies did not differentiate the causes of the deaths. The objectives were to evaluate the 2-year overall survival (OS) and advanced schistosomiasis-specific survival (ASS) in patients with advanced schistosomiasis after discharge through competing risk analysis and to build predictive nomograms. Methods Data was extracted from a previously constructed database from Hubei province. Patients were enrolled from September 2014 to January 2015, with follow up to January 2017. OS and ASS were primary outcome measures. Nomograms for estimating 2-year OS and ASS rates after discharge were established based on univariate and multivariate Cox regression model and Fine and Gray’s model. Their predictive performances were evaluated using C-index and validated in both internal and external validation cohorts. Results The training cohort included 1487 patients with advanced schistosomiasis. Two-year mortality rate of the training cohort was 8.27% (123/1487). Competing events accounted for 26.83% (33/123). Older age, splemomegaly clinical classification, abnormal serum DBil, AST, ALP and positive HBsAg were significantly associated with 2-year OS. Older age, splemomegaly clinical classification, abnormal serum AST, ALP and positive HBsAg were significantly associated with 2-year ASS. The established nomograms were well calibrated, and had good discriminative ability, with a C-index of 0.813 (95% CI 0.803–0.823) for 2-year OS prediction and 0.834 (95% CI 0.824–0.844) for 2-year ASS prediction. Their predictive performances were well validated in both internal and external validation cohorts. Conclusion The effective predictors of 2-year OS and ASS were discovered through competing risk analysis. The nomograms could be used as convenient predictive tools in clinical practice to guide follow-up and aid accurate prognostic assessment.

Abstract
Risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is presumed to be high for neurologic intensive care unit (NICU) patients. However, exact incidences of VTE have yet to be reported. In this prospective observational study, we consecutively enrolled 126 neurocritical care patients who had an NICU stay ≥1 week with paralysis and/or unconsciousness. All patients received DVT prevention strategies. Patients were screened for VTE after 1 week of hospitalization, using venous ultrasonography and computed tomography pulmonary angiography. Following 1 week of NICU hospitalization, DVT incidence was 35.7% and PE incidence was 17.5%. Of the DVTs, 75.6% were in the muscular calf vein. Of the PEs, 22.7% were in main pulmonary arteries, while 77.3% were in branches. Approximately 96% of the DVTs and 86% of the PEs were asymptomatic. Approximately 24% of patients with DVT had a concurrent PE, while 50% of PE patients had a DVT. Paralysis, raised d-dimer on admission, and pulmonary infection were found to be independent risk factors for DVT. Paraplegia, femoral vein thrombosis, and pulmonary infection were found to be independent risk factors for PE. Despite active preventive measures, incidences of VTE in NICU patients were high. Most VTEs were asymptomatic, meaning they could have led to a missed diagnosis. Attention should be paid to the VTE events of critically ill neurological patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Limited evidence supports the presumed increased frequency of hemorrhage caused by the unruptured intracranial aneurysms which coexist in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage treated with minimally invasive surgery plus local thrombolysis. Subsequently, we sought to determine the safety of local thrombolysis for this particular subset of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients treated with minimally invasive surgery plus local thrombolysis for intracerebral hemorrhage between November 2013 to December 2015 in an intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital. Depending upon the vascular images, unruptured intracranial aneurysms were identified. The primary outcome was any of postoperative intracranial rebleeding. The second outcome included the 30-day death and 6-month follow up graded by Modified Rank Scale. Blind abstractors reviewed the medical data and binary logistic regression was performed to investigate the risk factors of poor prognosis. RESULTS We identified a cohort of consecutive 188 patients, of whom 23 (12.2%) harbored unruptured intracranial aneurysms. There were 28 aneurysms documented in this study, among which 3 were in the posterior circulation. And in total, 20 (11.3%) cases suffered from postoperative hematoma growth, of which 4 were with aneurysms. Additionally,the 30-day mortality after stroke in patients with aneurysms was 8.69% (2/23), comparable to 13.33% in without (22/165,p = 0.744). The proportion of the favorable outcome at 6-month follow-up in patients with aneurysms was comparable to that in without (47.8% versus 48.5%,p = 1.000) Insignificant associations were demonstrated between the unruptured intracranial aneurysms and postoperative intracranial rehemorrhage (p = 0.092), 30-day death(p = 0.588) and poor long-term prognosis (p = 0.332), respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that unruptured intracranial aneurysms seem to represent no increased risks of poor outcome after local thrombolysis for intracerbral hematomas.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a complicated neurological disorder that occurs worldwide and features several kinds of comorbidities in addition to recurrent seizures. One of the most common comorbidities is cognitive impairment, which seriously affects patients' quality of life. Through activating pre- and postsynaptic adenosine A1 receptors (A1Rs), adenosine has demonstrated anticonvulsant and neuroprotective effects in many epileptic animal models. However, whether the neuroprotective effect of A1Rs will protect cognition during epileptogenesis remains unknown. Therefore, by using A1R knockout (KO) mice and establishing a pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-kindled model of epilepsy, the present study investigated A1Rs' influences on memory and synaptic function. Morris water maze test results indicated that A1R knockout exacerbated the memory impairment induced by PTZ kindling compared with the wild-type group. To further study the synaptic function of epileptic A1Rs KO mice, we recorded long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampal CA3-CA1 pathway, and LTP was highly inhibited in kindled A1R KO mice compared with kindled wild-type mice. To reveal the mechanisms underlying these effects, neuronal loss, cell apoptosis, and relevant synaptic protein levels in hippocampus were assessed. Epileptic A1R KO mice exhibited significant reductions in neuronal cell survival in the CA1 region and a marked increase in the activation of caspase-3 in the hippocampus compared with epileptic wild-type mice. In addition, an obvious decrease in the PSD95 and BDNF expression levels of epileptic A1R KO mice was observed 7 days after complete kindling. In conclusion, these findings indicated that A1Rs play an important protective role against cognitive impairment by reducing neuron loss and increasing BDNF and PSD95 levels. Activation of A1Rs during epileptogenesis might be beneficial to the preservation of epileptic individuals' cognitive functions.

Abstract
OBJECTS To clarify the effects of endovascular therapy (ET) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, we conducted an updated meta-analysis using data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS We searched major electronic databases for RCTs comparing ET with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) or other standard treatments for AIS patients. Eligible and high-quality RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. The overall estimates were demonstrated as an odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and P value. RESULTS Thirteen high-quality trials met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Patients treated by ET were more likely to have good functional outcomes (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.32-2.19; P< 0.0001) and lower mortality rates (OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.60-0.98; P = 0.03) at 90 days than patients treated by IVT or standard treatment. There was no significant difference in the rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage [sICH] (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.73-1.91; P = 0.50). CONCLUSIONS ET is superior to both IVT and standard treatment in providing functional improvement and reducing the mortality rate at 90 days, while not increasing the risk of sICH for the treatment of AIS.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to determine the association between visceral fat area (VFA) on CT and postoperative complications after primary surgery in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). METHOD Inclusion criteria were patients with a confirmed diagnosis of CD who had preoperative abdominal CT scan. The areas of total fat, subcutaneous fat and visceral fat were measured using an established image-analysis method at the lumbar 3 (L3) level on CT cross-sectional images. Visceral obesity was defined as a visceral fat area (VFA) of ≥ 130 cm(2) . Clinical variables, intra-operative outcomes and postoperative courses within 30 days were analysed. RESULTS A total of 164 patients met the inclusion criteria. Sixty-three (38.4%) patients had postoperative complications. The mean age of the patients with complications (the study group) was 40.4 ± 15.4 years and of those without complications (the control group) was 35.8 ± 12.9 years (P = 0.049). There were no differences in disease location and behaviour between patients with or without complications (P > 0.05). In multivariable analysis, VFA [odds ratio (OR) = 2.69; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-6.62; P = 0.032] and corticosteroid use (OR = 2.86; 95% CI: 1.32-6.21; P = 0.008) were found to be associated with postoperative complications. Patients with visceral obesity had a significantly longer operative time (P = 0.012), more blood loss (P = 0.019), longer bowel resection length (P = 0.003), postoperative ileus (P = 0.039) and a greater number of complications overall (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION High VFA was found to be associated with an increased risk for 30-day postoperative complications in patients with CD undergoing primary surgery.

Abstract
Endogenous retroviruses are regarded as ideal genetic markers for evolutionary analyses. Birds were some of the initial vertebrates found to contain endogenous retroviruses. However, few studies have investigated the presence and distribution of endogenous retroviruses in goose. In this study, we detected the avian sarcoma and leukosis virus gag gene in the genomic DNA of 8 Chinese native breeds using polymerase chain reaction method. The results indicated that a 1.2-kb avian sarcoma and leukosis virus gag sequence was integrated into all 8 goose breeds. The mean genetic pairwise distance was 0.918% among the investigated geese. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the presence of the endogenous retroviruses in the domestic goose genome. The genetic structure should be further examined in the domestic goose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a serious and increasingly recognized disorder in humans. However, isolated cerebellar involvement in PRES is extremely uncommon. In this study, we sought to investigate its clinical and radiological features by describing a cohort of cases with PRES and isolated cerebellar involvement. METHODS We report 2 patients with PRES with only cerebellar involvement and identified additional 9 cases using the PubMed database with the MeSH terms "posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome", "hypertensive encephalopathy", "hypertension", "cerebellum", "encephalopathy", and "magnetic resonance imaging". We then collectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics of these 11 cases. RESULTS The average age was 28years, with 8 male and 3 female patients. All cases had severe acute hypertension and T2 hyperintensity on MRI exclusively centered within the cerebellum. Of 11 patients, 7 had hypertensive retinopathy, a favorable clinical course with only antihypertensive treatment, and resolution of the cerebellar lesions on follow-up imaging. A total of 5 of the 11 patients received external ventricular drainage due to obstructive hydrocephalus and only 2 of the 11 had a seizure. CONCLUSIONS Isolated cerebellar involvement in PRES may be a unique variant that affects younger, male cases with severe acute hypertension and hypertensive retinopathy, but not necessarily seizure. Most patients have full recovery after fast control of blood pressure. Awareness of atypical neuroimaging features in PRES is critical for appropriate treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to clarify whether pneumocephalus occurred and affected the outcome following minimally invasive hematoma aspiration and thrombolysis for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective case note review on all ICH patients treated with the micro-invasive procedure presenting to our division from 2006 to 2011 was conducted. Demographic, clinical, and outcome data were documented; head CT scans were applied postoperatively to identify the intracranial air collection. The ICH victims with pneumocephalus were included into Group A and the others into Group B. A multi-variant analysis was performed between Groups A and B to examine the effect of pneumocephalus on the prognosis. RESULTS Data were collected on a total of 134 cases in this study, among whom 72.38% developed pneumocephalus postoperatively. No significant difference was demonstrated in terms of the preoperative and postoperative hematoma volume, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, middle line shift (MLS), and 30-day mortality rate between Groups A and B, respectively. Moreover, the long-term outcome rated by GCS of these two groups was also similar. Logistic regression analysis indicated double-needle puncture be an independent risk factor for both postoperative pneumocephalus (OR, 2.478; 95% CI, 1.010-6.080; P = 0.045) and its degree (OR, 11.84; 95%CI, 4.141-30.208; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The present study shows that pneumocephalus is common following the minimally invasive hematoma aspiration and thrombolysis for ICH but may not affect the outcome. And double-needle puncture may be the risk factor for pneumocephalus.

Abstract
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common degenerative disease presenting intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in older people. Uric acid (UA) is a natural antioxidant, and may have a beneficial role in neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, the role of UA in CAA remains unknown. In the present study, we compared serum UA levels in CAA-associated ICH patients (n = 82) and age/sex-matched controls (n = 82). Serum UA levels in possible CAA were significantly decreased when compared with healthy controls (232.68 ± 77.70 vs. 309.42 ± 59.83 μmol/L; p < 0.001). Furthermore, UA levels in patients clinically diagnosed as probable CAA were significantly lower than those in patients diagnosed as possible CAA (193.06 ± 56.98 vs. 232.68 ± 77.70 μmol/L; p = 0.014). These differences were still significant after adjusting for renal function and dyslipidemia (p < 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively). However, there were no associations between serum UA levels and the distribution of hemorrhagic lesion, as well as neurological impairment. Our observations indicate that serum UA levels were decreased in CAA patients. UA might play a neuroprotective role in CAA and serve as a potential biomarker for reflecting the severity of Aβ deposition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare hereditary small vascular disease and its mainly clinical manifestations are ischemic events. Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) involvement in patients with CADASIL is extremely uncommon. CASE REPORT A 46-year-old normotensive Chinese man developed a large hematoma in the left basal ganglia after he was diagnosed with CADASIL 2 months ago, the patient did not take any antithrombotics. Susceptibility weighted imaging at pre-ICH showed multiple cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in the bilateral basal ganglia. He experienced migraine at about 10 months post-ICH. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ICH in CADASIL patients with Arg90Cys mutation in exon 3. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS ICH should be considered when evaluating new attacks in CADASIL patients. Thus, MRI screening for CMBs might be helpful in predicting the risk of ICH and guiding antithrombotic therapy. In addition, strict control of hypertension and cautious use of antithrombotics may be important in this context.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLR) are trans-membrane sensors recognizing invading microbes. Toll-like receptors play a central role in initiating immune responses against several pathogens. In this study, we investigated the response of TLR and downstream genes to Marek's disease virus (MDV) infection. Forty 1-d-old chicks were randomly divided into 2 groups, with 20 chicks infected with MDV and 20 chicks mock-infected. Four chickens were euthanized respectively from infected and age-matched noninfected groups at 4, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d postinfection (dpi). Bursas, spleens, and thymuses were removed. The differential expression of TLR genes, including TLR3, TLR5, TLR7, TLR15, and TLR21, and downstream genes of TLR7, including MyD88, TRAF3, TRAF6, IFNA, IFNB, and IL6, in lymphoid tissues of MDV-infected and noninfected chickens was determined by real-time PCR. The results showed that the change of TLR genes was different in 3 lymphoid tissues. Expression of TLR7 and MyD88 was upregulated at 14 dpi and downregulated at 28 dpi in MDV-infected compared with noninfected spleens. The TRAF6 and IFNB were upregulated, and TRAF3, IFNA, and IL6 genes showed increasing trends in MDV-infected compared with noninfected spleens at 14 dpi. The expression of TLR3 and TLR15 genes was downregulated in MDV-infected compared with noninfected spleens at 28 dpi. The results indicated that TLR7 and its downstream genes were a response to MDV infection at 14 dpi. However, the function of TLR was impaired when the infection entered the tumor transformation phase. In bursas, TLR3 and TLR15 genes were upregulated at 7 and 4 dpi, respectively. It indicated that TLR3 and TLR15 might be involved in response to MDV infection in bursa at early phases. However, no differential expression of TLR genes was observed between MDV-infected and noninfected thymuses, which indicated that the thymus had little response to MDV infection mediated by TLR.

Abstract
Marek's disease is a viral neoplastic disease of chickens caused by Marek's disease virus (MDV). Gene expression patterns have been investigated at different MDV infection stages, but there is limited research about the late tumor transformation phase. In this experiment, 44K Agilent chicken genome-wide expression microarrays were used to profile differential expression in tumorous spleens (TS) from severely morbid chickens and apparently normal spleens from survivors (SS) after MDV infection and expression in noninfected spleens (NS) from controls. There were 4,317 differentially expressed (DE) genes in TS versus NS. However, no DE genes were detected in SS versus NS, suggesting that maintenance of, or return to, homeostasis of gene activity in survivor spleens. Downregulated genes in tumorous spleens mainly enriched in the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway, and commonly investigated genes in Marek's disease study, IL6, IL18, IFNA, and IFNG were nondifferentially expressed, which indicates host inflammatory response was impaired. The IL10 and TNFRSF8 genes were upregulated in tumorous spleens. We speculated that IL10 might be exploited by MDV to escape from host immune surveillance, as reported for Epstein-Barr virus, which stimulated T cells secreting IL10 to subvert immune response. Previous study reported that transcription from TNFRSF8 promoter could be enhanced by MDV oncogene Meq. In this study, the increased expression of TNFRSF8 indicated interaction between MDV and TNFRSF8, which might facilitate pathogenesis and tumor transformation. The expression of many members in IGF system was changed in tumorous compared with noninfected spleens. The downregulation of IGFBP7 was considered to be associated with MD lymphoma transformation. Gene expression change of multiple regulatory pathways indicated their involvements in facilitating tumor transformation.

Abstract
Chicken is considered to be an excellent model for genetic studies of phenotypic and genomic evolution, with large effective population size, specialized commercial lines, and strong human-driven selection. High-density chicken SNP chips can help to achieve a better understanding of the selection mechanisms in artificially selected populations. We performed the genome-wide tests for the selection signature in 385 White Leghorn hens and mapped positively selected regions to the genome annotations. Ten QTL related to egg production, egg quality, growth, and disease resistance traits were selected for extended haplotype homozygosity tests to give a brief overview of recent selection signatures in chicken QTL. We also reported 185 candidate genes/CDSs showing top P-values and slower decay of haplotype homozygosities. Some of these genes seemed to have significant effects on important economical traits, and most of them have not been reported in chickens. The current study provides a genome-wide map of linkage disequilibrium extents and distributions and selection footprints in the chicken genome. A panel of genes, including PRL, NCKX1, NRF1, LHX2, and SFRP1 associated with egg production, metabolism traits, and response to illumination were identified. In addition, there were more genes identified that have not yet been reported in chickens, and our results provide new clues for further study.

Abstract
Epigenetic modification is widely known to be involved in embryo development, aging, tumorigenesis, and many complex diseases. Both hypermethylation of CpG islands at the gene promoters and global hypomethylation are involved in the initiation and progression of carcinogenesis. However, only a small portion of hypomethylation occurs at gene promoters and leads to the overexpression of certain oncogenes. To determine whether DNA methylation plays a role in tumorigenesis of Marek's disease, we selected one putative oncogene and 8 tumor suppressor genes from the gene expression profile for the analysis of DNA methylation variation. Four normal spleen tissues and 4 Marek's disease virus-infected tumor spleen tissues were collected, and the methylation level of the promoter region of each gene was analyzed using MassARRAY. As a result, the promoter region of CD30 was hypomethylated and displayed a significantly higher expression in Marek's disease virus-infected tumor spleen tissues compared with normal ones (P < 0.05). In neoplastic cells, CD30 was known to promote the survival and proliferation of T-cell lymphomas. This result suggests that activation of CD30 is possibly associated with the tumorigenesis of Marek's disease.

Abstract
Marek's disease (MD) is a neoplastic disease in chickens, caused by the Marek's disease virus (MDV). To investigate host genetic resistance to MD, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 67 MDV-infected chickens based on a case and control design, including 57 susceptible chickens in the case group and 10 resistant chickens as controls. After searching 38 655 valid genomic markers, two SNPs were found to be associated with host resistance to MD. One SNP, rs14527240, reaching chromosome-wide significance level (P < 0.01) was located in the SPARC-related modular calcium-binding 1 (SMOC1) gene on GGA5. The other one, GGaluGA156129, reaching genome-wide significance (P < 0.05), was located in the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 3 (PTPN3) gene on GGA2. In addition, expression patterns of these two genes in spleens were detected by qPCR. The expression of SMOC1 was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05), whereas the expression of PTNP3 did not show significance when the case group was compared with the control group. Up-regulation of SMOC1 in susceptible spleens suggests its important roles in MD tumorigenesis. This is the first study to investigate MD-resistant loci, and it demonstrates the power of GWASs for mapping genes associated with MD resistance.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been shown to contribute to the resistance and relapse in a range of cancer types such as breast cancer and glioma. However, colon cancer stem cells remain poorly characterized. Here we reported that CD24+ subpopulation in colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW480 exhibited cancer stem cell-like characteristics. Using flow cytometry candidate CSCs markers were selected after initial screening of known CSCs markers from other types of cancer on colon cancer cell lines HCT116, SW480 and HT29. CD24 was expressed in the minority of bulk cell population of HCT116 and SW480 cell lines. Moreover, functional tests demonstrated that CD24+ cells exhibited enhanced chemotherapy-resistance, self-renewal and tumorigenic capacity both in vitro and in vivo, compared to CD24- subpopulations. These results suggest that CD24+ subpopulation in colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW480 exhibits CSCs like characteristics, and represents a nice model to study and develop effective strategies to overcome chemo-resistance and relapse of colon cancer.

Abstract
AIM There is controversy over whether constipation as the only symptom should be an indication for routine diagnostic colonoscopy. The study was carried out to assess the prevalence of abnormal pathology on colonoscopy and to assess the risk factors for colonic neoplasia in patients with constipation but without 'high risk symptoms'. METHOD A cross-sectional, single-centre study was conducted on individuals who underwent colonoscopy for constipation as the sole indication between 2005 and 2008. Standardized endoscopic and pathology reports were reviewed. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 786 patients (595 women, 75.7%; mean age, 57.4±13.5 years) underwent diagnostic colonoscopy for constipation. Forty-three (5.5%) had polyps, of whom 19 (2.4%) had hyperplastic polyps and 19 (2.4%) adenomas. No cancers were found. In patients with adenoma, the detection rate was 2.9% for patients below age 40 years and 1.7% for patients below age 50 years. Older age was associated with a polyp in both univariate and multivariate analysis. Gender, ethnicity and smoking were not associated with polyp or adenoma. CONCLUSION Colonoscopy for patients with constipation as the sole indication had a lower yield of neoplastic lesions than that for patients undergoing routine screening colonoscopy. Colonoscopy in constipation may only be warranted in patients who are over 50 years of age.

Abstract
AIMS To establish a multiplex PCR method for simultaneous and rapid detection of Spiroplasma eriocheiris and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in Procambarus clarkii with recommendations for application to other crustacea. METHODS AND RESULTS Three primer sets were mixed at a ratio of 1:3:1 to amplify specific fragments of the S. eriocheiris, WSSV, P. clarkii crayfish (control organism) genomes, respectively. S. eriocheiris and WSSV were used to challenge the susceptible crustacea in the experimental groups. Total DNA of the samples was purified and detected by multiplex PCR. The PCR-amplified products produced four groups of results as follows. One fragment of 1195 bp, amplified by the primer set ITS-crayfish/28S-crayfish, served as an internal control, showed no pathogen detection, thus confirming the specificity of our positive tests. Two groups represented by: (i) samples challenged by S. eriocheiris alone, or (ii) challenged by WSSV alone, yielded two fragments each; i.e. those from S. eriocheiris (271 bp) plus the internal control and those from WSSV (530 bp) plus the internal control. Finally, for the fourth group, in cases of double challenged treatments, all three amplified products were detected simultaneously. CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous and rapid detection of two pathogens in P. clarkii is important to maintain productive and healthy crayfish in aquaculture. The direct detection of S. eriocheiris and WSSV from P. clarkii is practicable with multiplex PCR. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study shows that the two pathogens are simultaneously and rapidly detected in P. clarkii by multiplex PCR, thus increasing the efficiency of pathogen detection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) rs1801133C/T, rs1801131A/C, rs2274976A/G, rs2066462C/T genetic polymorphisms are associated with clinical response and adverse effects (AEs) of methotrexate (MTX) treatment in Chinese Han patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS One hundred and ten RA patients defined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1987 revised criteria were involved in this study. All patients were treated with low-dose MTX (10-15 mg/week) without concomitant uses of other DMARDs. Clinical response (using ACR20 criteria) and AEs were evaluated at 0, 4, 12, 16 and 24 weeks. The genotypes of MTHFR rs1801133C/T, rs1801131A/C, rs2274976A/G and rs2066462C/T were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. RESULTS The allele frequency of rs1801131C in the clinical response group was higher than in the non-response group (21.0% vs. 8.1%, p<0.05), and the patients with CC or AC genotype had greater clinical response than those with AA genotype. The allele frequencies of rs1801133T and rs2274976A were higher in the group with AEs than that without AEs (56.4% vs. 37.5% and 14.9% vs. 4.2%, respectively, both p<0.05). The patients with CT or TT genotype in rs1801133 had higher risks of AEs than those with CC genotype. CONCLUSIONS While rs1801131A/C genetic polymorphism is associated with the clinical response, rs1801133C/T and rs2274976A/G genetic polymorphisms are associated with MTX-related AEs in the treatment of RA. This suggests individualisation is necessary to achieve optimal outcomes in MTX therapy of RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Crohn's disease is generally considered a relative contraindication for restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anastomosis (IPAA). The natural history of IPAA in these patients has not well been defined. AIM To evaluate the natural history of IPAA in patients with a well-defined preoperative Crohn's disease. METHODS All patients from the Pouchitis Clinic who had a preoperative diagnosis of Crohn's disease were screened and 11 patients met the inclusion criteria. The control group (with a 1:4 ratio) consisted of IPAA patients with a preoperative diagnosis of UC. RESULTS During the follow-up period of 5.0 years, 7 of 11 (63.6%) with a preoperative diagnosis of Crohn's disease developed Crohn's disease of the pouch. Crohn's disease of the pouch developed 0.2-15 years after ileostomy closure. The remaining four patients with a preoperative diagnosis of Crohn's disease did not demonstrate signs of Crohn's disease in 2, 11, 11 and 24 years after pouch surgery, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Post-operative development of Crohn's disease of the pouch was common in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of Crohn's disease who underwent IPAA. Long-term medical therapy was often required. Large multi-centre studies are warranted to delineate further the natural history of the disease, before Crohn's disease is considered an indication for IPAA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosis and management of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis and Crohn's disease of the pouch can be challenging. Pyloric gland metaplasia is a histological feature indicative of chronic mucosal inflammation. Its value in diagnosis and prognosis of pouch disorders has not been investigated. AIM To assess the prevalence, diagnostic and prognostic value, and risk factors of pyloric gland metaplasia in pouch patients. METHODS Patients were identified from our prospectively maintained Pouchitis Database. Pouch biopsy specimens were re-reviewed for pyloric gland metaplasia and other histological features. Two cohorts of patients were studied: a historical cohort (n = 111) and the second, a validation cohort (n = 100). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess risk factors for pyloric gland metaplasia. RESULTS The prevalence of pyloric gland metaplasia in the historical cohort and validation cohort was 45 (40.1%) and 24 (24.0%), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of pyloric gland metaplasia for the diagnosis of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis or Crohn's disease were 70.7% and 92.5%, respectively, for the first cohort and 39.0% and 86.4%, respectively, for the 2nd validation cohort. In multivariate analysis of the first cohort, patients with refractory pouchitis or Crohn's disease were 28 times (95% CI, 7.3-107.1) more likely to have pyloric gland metaplasia than those with a normal pouch or irritable pouch syndrome. The factor of refractory pouchitis or Crohn's disease remained in the model for the 2nd validation cohort with odds ratio of 4.58 (95% CI, 1.6-13.4). CONCLUSIONS Pyloric gland metaplasia is associated with diagnosis of chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis or Crohn's disease of the pouch and appears to be a specific marker for both disease entities.

Abstract
Difficulty intubation is the most common long-term complication after continent ileostomy, which can be associated with nipple valve slippage, parastomal hernia, stenosis. Diagnosis and management of a patient with nipple valve stricture and partial bowel obstruction associated with dietary supplement retention in the pouch reservoir is described. A 50-year-old female patient with ulcerative colitis and a 15-year history of continent ileostomy after total proctocolectomy reported 5-week symptoms of abdominal pain and difficulty in intubating the pouch. Pill bezoar composed of dietary supplement was found in diagnostic pouch endoscopy. Therapeutic pouch endoscopy was performed with balloon dilation of a nipple valve stenosis and retrieval of 224 dietary supplement tablets. Pill bezoar in the pouch is rare. However, patients with continent ileostomy should be advised to avoid taking hard-to-dissolve foods and medications.
