Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Progranulin (PGRN), a multifunctional growth factor, plays indispensable roles in the regulation of cancer, inflammation, metabolic diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, its immune regulatory role in periodontitis is insufficiently understood. This study attempts to explore the regulatory effects of PGRN on macrophage polarization in periodontitis microenvironment. METHODS Immunohistochemical (IHC) and multiplex immunohistochemical (mIHC) stainings were performed to evaluate the expression of macrophage-related markers and PGRN in gingival samples from periodontally healthy subjects and periodontitis subjects. RAW264.7 cells and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were polarized towards M1 or M2 macrophages by the addition of LPS or IL-4, respectively, and were treated with or without PGRN. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), immunofluorescence staining (IF), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and flow cytometry were used to determine the expressions of M1 and M2 macrophage-related markers. Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to detect the interaction between PGRN and tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2). Neutralizing antibody was used to block TNFR2 to confirm the role of TNFR2 in PGRN-mediated macrophage polarization. RESULTS The IHC and mIHC staining of human gingival slices showed a significant accumulation of macrophages in the microenvironment of periodontitis, with increased expressions of both M1 and M2 macrophage markers. Meanwhile, PGRN was widely expressed in the gingival tissue of periodontitis and co-expressed mainly with M2 macrophages. In vitro experiments showed that in RAW264.7 cells and BMDMs, M1 markers (CD86, TNF-α, iNOS, and IL-6) substantially decreased and M2 markers (CD206, IL-10, and Arg-1) significantly increased when PGRN was applied to LPS-stimulated macrophages relatively to LPS stimulation alone. Besides, PGRN synergistically promoted IL-4-induced M2 markers expression, such as CD206, IL-10, and Arg1. In addition, the co-immunoprecipitation result showed the direct interaction of PGRN with TNFR2. mIHC staining further revealed the co-localization of PGRN and TNFR2 on M2 macrophages (CD206+). Blocking TNFR2 inhibited the regulation role of PGRN on macrophage M2 polarization. CONCLUSIONS In summary, PGRN promotes macrophage M2 polarization through binding to TNFR2 in both pro- and anti-inflammatory periodontal microenvironments.

Abstract
Dysbiosis of the oral microbiota is related to chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis. Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), a significant component of the oral microbiota, can perturb the immune system and form an inflammatory microenvironment for promoting the occurrence and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we investigated the impacts of Fn on OSCC cells and the crosstalk between OSCC cells and macrophages. 16 s rDNA sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization verified that Fn was notably enriched in clinical OSCC tissues compared to paracancerous tissues. The conditioned medium co-culture model validated that Fn and macrophages exhibited tumor-promoting properties by facilitating OSCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Besides, Fn and OSCC cells can recruit macrophages and facilitate their M2 polarization. This crosstalk between OSCC cells and macrophages was further enhanced by Fn, thereby amplifying this positive feedback loop between them. The production of CXCL2 in response to Fn stimulation was a significant mediator. Suppression of CXCL2 in OSCC cells weakened Fn's promoting effects on OSCC cell proliferation, migration, macrophage recruitment, and M2 polarization. Conversely, knocking down CXCL2 in macrophages reversed the Fn-induced feedback effect of macrophages on the highly invasive phenotype of OSCC cells. Mechanistically, Fn activated the NF-κB pathway in both OSCC cells and macrophages, leading to the upregulation of CXCL2 expression. In addition, the SCC7 subcutaneous tumor-bearing model in C3H mice also substantiated Fn's ability to enhance tumor progression by facilitating cell proliferation, activating NF-κB signaling, up-regulating CXCL2 expression, and inducing M2 macrophage infiltration. However, these effects were reversed by the CXCL2-CXCR2 inhibitor SB225002. In summary, this study suggests that Fn contributes to OSCC progression by promoting tumor cell proliferation, macrophage recruitment, and M2 polarization. Simultaneously, the enhanced CXCL2-mediated crosstalk between OSCC cells and macrophages plays a vital role in the pro-cancer effect of Fn.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of subgingival delivery of progranulin (PGRN)/gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) complex as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) on an experimental periodontitis dog model with Class II furcation involvement (FI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A Class II FI model was established, and the defects were divided into four treatment groups: (a) no treatment (control); (b) SRP; (c) SRP + GelMA; (d) SRP + PGRN/GelMA. Eight weeks after treatment, periodontal parameters were recorded, gingival crevicular fluid and gingival tissue were collected for ELISA and RT-qPCR, respectively, and mandibular tissue blocks were collected for micro computed tomography (micro-CT) scanning and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. RESULTS The SRP + PGRN/GelMA group showed significant improvement in all periodontal parameters compared with those in the other groups. The expression of markers related to M1 macrophage and Th17 cell significantly decreased, and the expression of markers related to M2 macrophage and Treg cell significantly increased in the SRP + PGRN/GelMA group compared with those in the other groups. The volume, quality and area of new bone and the length of new cementum in the root furcation defects of the PGRN/GelMA group were significantly increased compared to those in the other groups. CONCLUSIONS Subgingival delivery of the PGRN/GelMA complex could be a promising non-surgical adjunctive therapy for anti-inflammation, immunomodulation and periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical features and genetic characteristics of Zellweger spectrum disorder caused by PEX6 gene variation. Methods: This was a case series research. Clinical date and genetic results of 2 neonatal cases of Zellweger syndrome caused by PEX6 gene variation in Wuhan Children's Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology and Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from July 2021 to July 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Literature up to August 2023 was searched from electronic databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data and PubMed with the combined keywords of "Zellweger syndrome" "Zellweger spectrum disorder", and "PEX6 gene" both in Chinese and English. The main clinical features and genetic characteristics of Zellweger spectrum disorder caused by PEX6 gene variation were summarized. Results: The 2 male neonates both developed clinical manifestations as dyspnea, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, enlarged fontanelle, and high palatine arch after birth. Biochemical parameters indicated elevated bile acids, and the cranial ultrasound showed the enlarged bilateral ventricles and subependymal cyst in both 2 neonates. Zellweger syndrome was confirmed by whole exome sequencing, and the results revealed PEX6 gene variation in the 2 neonates, including compound heterozygous variants c.315G>A and c.2095-3T>G, and homozygous variant c.506_507del. Case 1 was hospitalized for 5 days, and case 2 for 32 days; they both died shortly after being discharged (the specific time is unknown). Literature review found 26 patients, including 2 neonates in this study, with Zellweger spectrum disorder caused by PEX6 gene defect reported in 1 Chinese article and 11 English articles. Clinical features included hearing loss (19 cases), developmental delay (19 cases), vision impairment (19 cases), elevated very long chain fatty acids (17 cases), brain malformations (15 cases), hypotonia (12 cases), hepatic insufficiency (12 cases), distinctive facies (10 cases), and dental impairment (9 cases). Compound heterozygous variations dominated the variation types (15 cases), and the frameshift variations (16 cases) were the main pathogenic variations. Conclusions: Zellweger spectrum disorder should be considered when neonates show hypotonia, feeding difficulty, distinctive facial appearance, brain malformations and failure of hearing screening, or when older children show retinitis pigmentosa, sensorineural hearing loss, amelogenesis imperfecta and developmental delays. Detection of genetic variation in the PEX gene is crucial for definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of hyperlipidemia on the healing of bone defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-deficient mice and wild-type (WT) C57BL/6J mice were fed with an atherogenic high-fat diet (HFD) or a standard chow diet (as control) for 6 weeks. Blood samples were collected to evaluate serum lipid levels. Closed bone defects and open tooth extraction wounds were then created in the mandibles of these animals. One or two weeks after surgery, animals were euthanized. Micro-CT analysis and histomorphometric analysis were conducted to evaluate the healing of bone defects and the alveolar ridge resorption. RESULTS Bone regeneration of closed bone defects was considerably delayed in the hyperlipidemic Apoe-/- mice and WT mice. No obvious difference was detected in the new bone formation of the tooth extraction wounds. The HFD-fed mice showed more prominent reduction in the lingual alveolar ridge height of the tooth extraction wounds when compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS Hyperlipidemia results in delayed bone regeneration in large closed bone defects. Although tooth extraction wounds are small and normally regenerated in a hyperlipidemic microenvironment, the prominent reduction in the alveolar ridge height is also a challenge for future restoration of the dentition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the role of TNF-α/TNFR2 axis on promoting angiogenesis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells and uncover the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expression of TNFR2 and CD31 in OSCC tissues was examined; gene expression relationship between TNF-α/TNFR2 and angiogenic markers or signaling molecules was analyzed; the expression of angiogenic markers, signaling molecules, TNFR1, and TNFR2 in TNF-α-stimulated OSCC cells treated with or without TNFR2 neutralizing antibody (TNFR2 Nab) were assessed; the concentration of angiogenic markers in the supernatant of OSCC cells was detected; conditioned mediums of OSCC cells treated with TNF-α or TNF-α + TNFR2 Nab were applied to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), followed by tube formation and cell migration assays. RESULTS Significantly elevated expression of TNFR2 and CD31 in OSCC tissues was observed. A positive gene expression correlation was identified between TNF-α/TNFR2 and angiogenic markers or signaling molecules. TNFR2 Nab inhibited the effects of TNF-α on enhancing the expression of angiogenic factors and TNFR2, the phosphorylation of the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, HUVECs migration, and tube formation. CONCLUSIONS TNFR2 Nab counteracts the effect of TNF-α on OSCC cells through the TNFR2/Akt/mTOR axis, indicating that blocking TNFR2 might be a promising strategy against cancer.

Abstract
Triptolide, a compound isolated from a Chinese medicinal herb, has potent antitumor, immunosuppressive, and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to its interesting structural features and diverse pharmacological activities, it has attracted great interest by the Society of Organic Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. However, its clinical potential is greatly hampered by limited aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability, and multi-organ toxicity. In recent years, various derivatives of Triptolide have made varying degrees of progress in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. The most researched and potentially clinically valuable of them were (5R)-5-hydroxytriptolide (LLDT-8), PG490-88Na (F6008), and Minnelide. In this review, we provide an overview of the advancements made in triptolide and several of its derivatives' biological activity, mechanisms of action, and clinical development. We also summarized some prospects for the future development of triptolide and its derivatives. It is hoped to contribute to a better understanding of the progress in this field, make constructive suggestions for further studies of Triptolide, and provide a theoretical reference for the rational development of new drugs.

Abstract
Dental caries is a dynamic disease induced by the unbalance between demineralization of dental hard tissues caused by biofilm and remineralization of them; however, although various effective remineralization methods have been well documented, it is a challenge to reestablish the balance by enhancing remineralization alone while ignoring the antibacterial therapy. Therefore, the integration of remineralizing and antibacterial technologies offers a promising strategy to halt natural caries progression in clinical practice. Here, the conception of interrupting dental caries (IDC) was proposed based on the development of dual-functional coating with remineralizing and antibacterial properties. In this study, bovine serum albumin (BSA) loaded octenidine (OCT) successfully to form a BSA-OCT composite. Subsequently, through fast amyloid-like aggregation, the phase-transited BSA-OCT (PTB-OCT) coating can be covered on teeth, resin composite, or sealant surfaces in 30 min by a simple smearing process. The PTB-OCT coating showed satisfactory effects in promoting the remineralization of demineralized enamel and dentin in vitro. Moreover, this coating also exerted significant acid-resistance stability and anti-biofilm properties. Equally importantly, this coating exhibited promising abilities in reducing the microleakage between the tooth and resin composite in vitro and preventing primary and secondary caries in vivo. In conclusion, this novel dual-functional PTB-OCT coating could reestablish the balance between demineralization and remineralization in the process of caries, thereby potentially preventing or arresting caries.

Abstract
AIMS Perineural invasion (PNI) is a special type of metastasis of several cancers and has been reported as being a factor for poor prognosis in colorectal carcinoma. However, investigations of PNI in only rectal cancer and a comprehensive analysis combining meta-analyses with real-world case studies remain lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, articles from 2000 to 2020 concerning the relationship between PNI and rectal cancer prognoses and clinical features were meta-analysed. Subsequently, we carried out a retrospective analysis of 312 rectal cancer cases that underwent radical surgery in the real world. The incidence of PNI and the relationship between PNI and prognosis, as well as clinicopathological factors, were investigated. RESULTS The incidence of PNI was 23.09% and 33.01% in the meta-analysis and clinical cases, respectively. PNI occurred as early as stage I (2.94%). Moreover, neoadjuvant therapy significantly reduced the PNI-positive rate (20.34% versus 26.54%). Both meta-analysis and real-world clinical case studies suggested that PNI-positive patients had poorer prognoses than PNI-negative patients. We established an effective risk model consisting of T stage, differentiation and lymphovascular invasion to predict PNI in rectal cancer. CONCLUSION PNI is a poor prognostic factor for rectal cancer and could occur even in stage I. Additionally, neoadjuvant therapy could sufficiently reduce the PNI-positive rate. T stage, lymphovascular invasion and differentiation grade were independent risk factors for PNI and the risk model that included these factors could predict the probability of PNI.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The anti-tumor activity and tolerability of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and PD-1 inhibitors have been illustrated in retrospective studies, but the results vary across a broad range. This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of SBRT combined with sintilimab in patients with recurrent or oligometastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS/METHODS This trial involved patients with recurrent or oligometastatic HCC intravenously treated with SBRT plus sintilimab every 3 weeks for 12 months or until disease progression. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS Twenty-five patients were enrolled from August 14, 2019, to August 23, 2021. The median treatment duration was 10.2 months. SBRT was delivered at a median dose of 54 in six fractions. The median follow-up time was 21.9 months, and 32 targeted lesions among 25 patients were evaluated for treatment response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. The median PFS was 19.7 months, with PFS rates of 68% and 45.3% at 12 and 24 months, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) was not reached, with OS rates of 91.5% and 83.2% at 12 and 24 months, respectively. The 1- and 2-year local control rate were 100% and 90.9%, respectively. The confirmed objective response rate and disease control rate was 96%, and 96%, respectively. Most adverse events were graded as 1 or 2, and grade 3 adverse events were observed in three patients. CONCLUSION SBRT plus sintilimab is an effective, well-tolerated treatment regimen for patients with recurrent or oligometastatic HCC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of local injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with double-layer artificial dermis in treating wounds with exposed tendon on extremity. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From December 2017 to October 2022, 16 patients were admitted to Department of Orthopaedic Trauma of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and 32 patients were admitted to Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Guiyang Steel Factory Staff Hospital. All the patients had wounds with exposed tendon on extremity caused by various reasons and met the inclusion criteria. There were 39 males and 9 females, aged 26 to 58 years. The patients were divided into PRP alone group, artificial dermis alone group, and PRP+artificial dermis group, with 16 patients in each group. The wounds were treated with autologous PRP, double-layer artificial dermis, or thei combination of autologous PRP and double-layer artificial dermis, followed by autologous split-thickness scalp grafting after good growth of granulation tissue. On the 7th day after the secondary surgery, the autograft survival was observed, and the survival rate was calculated. The wound healing time and length of hospital stay of patients were recorded. At 3 and 6 months after wound healing, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to score the pigmentation, height, vascularity, and pliability of scars, and the total score was calculated. Adverse reactions during the entire treatment process were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Nemenyi test, and Bonferroni correction. Results: On the 7th day after the secondary surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the autograft survival rate of patients among PRP alone group, artificial dermis alone group, and PRP+artificial dermis group (P>0.05). The wound healing time and length of hospital stay of patients in PRP+artificial dermis group were (20.1±3.0) and (24±4) d, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (24.4±5.5) and (30±8) d in PRP alone group (P<0.05) and (24.8±4.9) and (32±8) d in artificial dermis alone group (P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months after wound healing, the pliability scores of patients in PRP+artificial dermis group were significantly lower than those in PRP alone group (with Z values of 12.91 and 15.69, respectively, P<0.05) and artificial dermis alone group (with Z values of 12.50 and 12.91, respectively, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in pigmentation, vascularity, height scores, and total score of scar of patients among the three groups (P>0.05). In artificial dermis alone group, one patient experienced partial liquefaction and detachment of the double-layer artificial dermis due to local infection of Staphylococcus epidermidis, which received wound dressing change, second artificial dermis transplantation, and subsequent treatment as before. No adverse reactions occurred in the remaining patients during the whole treatment process. Conclusions: Local injection of PRP combined with double-layer artificial dermis is effective in treating wounds with exposed tendon on extremity, which can not only significantly shorten wound healing time and length of hospital stay, but also improve scar pliability after wound healing to some extent in the long term. It is a clinically valuable treatment technique that is worth promoting and applying.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the incubation periods of infections of Omicron variants BA.2 and BF.7 in two COVID-19 epidemics and related factors in Beijing and provide basic parameters for the establishment of 2019-nCoV dynamic transmission model. Methods: The COVID-19 cases with specific exposure time and onset time in the Omicron variant BA.2 infection epidemic in April 2022 and in the Omicron variant BF.7 infection epidemic in October 2022 in Beijing were included in the analysis. The rank-sum test was conducted to estimate the differences in the incubation period between two types of infections. The incubation period distribution of the Omicron variant infection was fitted by using Weibull, Gamma and lognormal distributions. Multivariate analysis of variance was conducted to assess the effects of age, sex, variant type and vaccination status on the incubation periods. Results: A total of 64 cases of variant BA.2 infection and 58 cases of variant BF.7 infection were included. The M(Q1,Q3) of the incubation period was 3.00 (3.00, 4.00) days for BA.2 infection and 3.00 (2.00, 3.25) days for BF.7 infection. The lognormal distribution was the best fit. Multivariate analysis of variance showed that there were some differences in the incubation periods between two types of infections of Omicron variants, and the incubation period of variant BF.7 infection was shorter than that of variant BA.2 infection. Conclusion: Omicron variant BF.7 infection had shorter incubation period compared with Omicron variant BA.2 infection.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of elderly patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and the impact of nutrition and underlying diseases on the prognosis of elderly patients with MCL. Methods: retrospectively analyzed 255 elderly patients with MCL from 11 medical centers, including Peking University Third Hospital between January 2000 and February 2021. We analyzed clinical data, such as age, gender, Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score, and treatment options, and performed univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis. We performed a comprehensive geriatric assessment on elderly MCL patients with medical records that included retraceable underlying disease and albumin levels, and we investigated the impact of basic nutrition and underlying disorders on MCL prognosis in the elderly. Results: There were 255 senior individuals among the 795 MCL patients. Elderly MCL was more common in males (78.4%), with a median age of 69 yr (ages 65-88), and the majority (88.6%) were identified at a late stage. The 3-yr overall survival (OS) rate was 42.0%, with a 21.2% progression-free survival (PFS) rate. The overall response rate (ORR) was 77.3%, with a 33.3% total remission rate. Elderly patients were more likely than younger patients to have persistent underlying illnesses, such as hypertension. Multivariate analysis revealed that variables related with poor PFS included age of ≥80 (P=0.021), Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (P=0.003), high LDH level (P=0.003), involvement of bone marrow (P=0.014). Age of ≥80 (P=0.001) and a high LDH level (P=0.003) were risk factors for OS. The complete geriatric assessment revealed that renal deficiency was associated with poorer OS (P=0.047) . Conclusions: Elderly MCL patients had greater comorbidities. Age, LDH, renal function, bone marrow involvement, and Ann Arbor stage are all independent risk factors for MCL in the elderly.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for treating T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) . Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 119 adolescent and adult patients with T-ALL/LBL from January 2006 to January 2020 at Peking University Third Hospital and Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Patients were divided into chemotherapy-only, chemotherapy followed by allo-HSCT, and chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) groups according to the consolidation regimen, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates of each group were compared. Results: Among 113 patients with effective follow-up, 96 (84.9%) patients achieved overall response (ORR), with 79 (69.9%) having complete response (CR) and 17 (15.0%) having partial response (PR), until July 2022. The analysis of the 96 ORR population revealed that patients without transplantation demonstrated poorer outcomes compared with the allo-HSCT group (5-year OS: 11.4% vs 55.6%, P=0.001; 5-year PFS: 8.9% vs 54.2%, P<0.001). No difference was found in 5-year OS and 5-year PFS between the allo-HSCT and auto-HSCT groups (P=0.271, P=0.197). The same results were achieved in the CR population. Allo-HSCT got better 5-year OS (37.5% vs 0) for the 17 PR cases (P=0.064). Different donor sources did not affect 5-year OS, with sibling of 61.1% vs hap-haploidentical of 63.6% vs unrelated donor of 50.0% (P>0.05). No significant difference was found in the treatment response in the early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ETP) and non-ETP populations. The ETP group demonstrated lower 5-year OS compared with the non-ETP group in the chemotherapy alone group (0 vs 12.6%, P=0.045), whereas no significant difference was found between the ETP and non-ETP groups in the allo-HSCT group (75.0% vs 62.9%, P=0.852). Multivariate analysis revealed that high serum lactate dehydrogenase level, without transplantation, and no CR after chemotherapy induction were independently associated with inferior outcomes (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Allo-HSCT could be an effective consolidation therapy for adult and adolescent patients with T-ALL/LBL. Different donor sources did not affect survival. Allo-HSCT may overcome the adverse influence of ETP-ALL/LBL on OS.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the point-of-care assays for tear matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) using domestic and InflammaDry kits, and to evaluate the feasibility of diagnosing dry eye with the domestic kit. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Thirty dry eye patients and 30 age-and sex-matched normal volunteers were continuously enrolled in this cross-sectional study from June 2022 to July 2022. Both domestic and InflammaDry kits were used to detect the tear MMP-9 levels. The positive rates were recorded for qualitative analysis, and the gray ratios of bands (the gray value of detection bands to that of control bands) were collected for quantitative analysis. The correlations of MMP-9 levels with age, ocular surface disease index, fluorescence tear break-up time, tear meniscus height, Schirmer's Ⅰ test score, corneal fluorescein staining score, and meibomian gland dropout were analyzed. The Mann-Whitney U test, paired Chi-square test, Kappa test, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used for statistical analysis. Results: There were 14 males and 16 females (30 eyes) in the control group, and their age was (39.37±19.55) years. In the dry eye group, 11 males and 19 females (30 eyes), aged (46.87±17.85) years, had moderate to severe dry eye. The positive rates of MMP-9 in tear fluid were significantly different between dry eye patients (InflammaDry: 86.67%; domestic kit: 70.00%) and controls (InflammaDry: 16.67%, P<0.001; domestic kit: 6.67%, P<0.001). Although the sensitivity of the domestic kit was lower than that of the InflammaDry kit (70.0% vs. 86.7%, P=0.001), the specificity was higher (93.3% vs. 83.3%, P=0.001). In dry eye patients, the positive coincidence rate was 80.7% (21/26), the negative coincidence rate was 100% (4/4), and the total coincidence rate was 83.3% (25/30), with no significant difference between the two kits (McNemar test: χ2=3.20, P>0.05), and the results of both kits were consistent (Kappa=0.53, P=0.001). The Spearman's correlation coefficient showed the gray ratios using both kits were positively correlated with the corneal fluorescein staining score (InflammaDry: ρ=0.48, P<0.05; domestic kit: ρ=0.52, P=0.003). Conclusion: The performances of the domestic and InflammaDry kits are consistent in the point-of-care assay for tear MMP-9, and the domestic kit has lower sensitivity but higher specificity.

Abstract
Objective: To estimate the latent period and incubation period of Omicron variant infections and analyze associated factors. Methods: From January 1 to June 30, 2022, 467 infected persons and 335 confirmed cases in five local Omicron variant outbreaks in China were selected as the study subjects. The latent period and incubation period were estimated by using log-normal distribution and gamma distribution models, and the associated factors were analyzed by using the accelerated failure time model (AFT). Results: The median (Q1, Q3) age of 467 Omicron infections including 253 males (54.18%) was 26 (20, 39) years old. There were 132 asymptomatic infections (28.27%) and 335 (71.73%) symptomatic infections. The mean latent period of 467 Omicron infections was 2.65 (95%CI: 2.53-2.78) days, and 98% of infections were positive for nucleic acid detection within 6.37 (95%CI: 5.86-6.82) days after infection. The mean incubation period of 335 symptomatic infections was 3.40 (95%CI: 3.25-3.57) days, and 97% of them developed clinical symptoms within 6.80 (95%CI: 6.34-7.22) days after infection. The results of the AFT model analysis showed that compared with the group aged 18~49 years old, the latent period [exp(β)=1.36 (95%CI: 1.16-1.60), P<0.001] and incubation period [exp(β)=1.24 (95%CI: 1.07-1.45), P=0.006] of infections aged 0~17 year old were also prolonged. The latent period [exp(β)=1.38 (95%CI: 1.17-1.63), P<0.001] and the incubation period [exp(β)=1.26 (95%CI: 1.06-1.48), P=0.007] of infections aged 50 years old and above were also prolonged. Conclusion: The latent period and incubation period of most Omicron infections are within 7 days, and age may be the influencing factor of the latent period and incubation period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a protocol for reprogramming human embryonic fibroblasts (HEFs) into chemically induced neural progenitor cells (ciNPCs). METHODS In the two-staged reprogramming of HEFs, the intermediate compact cell colonies were first chemically induced in KSR medium containing small-molecule compounds (VCR) for 15 days in normoxia, followed by the lineage-specific induction stage, in which the compact cell colonies were digested with 0.25% trypsin and the cells were cultured in low adhesion plates. After formation of a large number of free-floating neurospheres 2 days later, the ciNPCs were labeled with CM-DiI and transplanted into rat models of Parkinson's disease (PD)to observe the survival, migration and differentiation of the cells in PD brain. RESULTS After induction with VCR for 10 days under normoxic condition, compact cell colonies occurred in HEF cultures (approximately 40 colonies in each well containing 1×105 HEFs), and most of the colonies expressed high levels of alkaline phosphatase. A large number of free-floating neurospheres formed 2 days after passage and were defined as P1 ciNPCs. These ciNPCs exhibited typical neurosphere-like structures and expressed NPC-specific markers (nestin, Sox2, and Pax6). Under neuronal or glial differentiation condition, the ciNPCs expressed the neuron-specific marker Tuj1 and the astrocyte-specific marker GFAP. These ciNPCs could differentiate into Tuj1+, GFAP+, TH+ and GABA+ cells 4 weeks after transplantation into the brain of PD rats. CONCLUSION HEFs can be directly reprogrammed into ciNPCs using smallmolecule compounds without the need of introducing exogenous genes. This success may provide a solution to the shortage of donor materials for neuroscience research and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the infection sources and the transmission chains of three outbreaks caused by 2019-nCoV Omicron variant possibly spread through cross-border logistics in Beijing. Methods: Epidemiological investigation and big data were used to identify the exposure points of the cases. Close contacts were traced from the exposure points, and the cases' and environmental samples were collected for nucleic acid tests. Positive samples were analyzed by gene sequencing. Results: The Omicron variant causing 3 outbreaks in Beijing from January to April, 2022 belonged to BA.1, BA.1.1 and BA.2. The outbreaks lasted for 8, 12 and 8 days respectively, and 6, 42 and 32 cases infected with 2019-nCoV were reported respectively. International mail might be the infection source for 1 outbreak, and imported clothes might be the infection sources for another 2 outbreaks. The interval between the shipment start time of the imported goods and the infection time of the index case was 3-4 days. The mean incubation period (Q1, Q3) was 3 (2,4) days and the mean serial interval (Q1, Q3) was 3 (2,4)days. Conclusions: The 3 outbreaks highlighted the risk of infection by Omicron variant from international logistics-related imported goods at normal temperature. Omicron variant has stronger transmissibility, indicating that rapid epidemiological investigation and strict management are needed.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predictive value of neutrophils-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) for atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in atrial fibrillation patients combined with heart failure. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure who received radiofrequency ablation in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to June 2020 were included. Patient were followed up in the outpatient clinic at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after radiofrequency ablation and were divided into recurrent and non-recurrent groups according to the absence or presence of atrial fibrillation. Demographic data, echocardiographic indices and inflammation-related indices including NLR were collected and compared between the two groups. Spearman rank correlation was performed to analyze the correlation of NLR with atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent risk factors of atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of NLR in predicting the atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation. Results: A total of 883 patients were included, of which 460 (52.1%) were male, mean age was (64.4±10.7) years old. There were 246 patients (27.9%) in the recurrence group and 637 patients (72.1%) in the non-recurrence group. Compared with the non-recurrent group, the duration of atrial fibrillation, NLR, neutrophil count, N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) and body mass index levels were significantly higher, while lymphocyte count was significantly lower in the recurrence group than in the non-recurrent group (all P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that NLR was positively correlated with the atrial fibrillation recurrence (r=0.333, P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR was an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in atrial fibrillation patients combined heart failure (OR=1.634, P<0.001). The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of NLR in predicting the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation was 0.715 (95%CI: 0.668-0.762, P<0.001), with a sensitivity of 55.61% and a specificity of 84.54%. Conclusion: NLR is a useful predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in atrial fibrillation patients combined with heart failure.

Abstract
Objectives: To examine the landscape and metastases of the lymph nodes in prostatic anterior fat pad (PAFP) at radical prostatectomy (RP), and to describe the clinical characteristic of the patients with lymph node metastases in PAFP. Methods: The clinical and pathological data of 287 prostate cancer patients underwent RP from December 2019 to August 2021 in Department of Urology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were collected and analyzed retrospectively. All patients were male, aging (66±7) years (range: 42 to 83 years). The preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (M(IQR)) were 16.00(29.64) μg/L (range: 0.01 to 99.90 μg/L). There were 244 patients with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer and 43 patients with metastatic prostate cancer. All PAFP were dissected at RP routinely and were sent for pathologic analysis respectively. The PAFP was dissected from the prostate apex caudally toward the bladder neck and dissection extended to the joint of the prostate and the endopelvic fascia bilaterally. All the specimen of PAFP were examined and reported by subspecialty pathologists of genitourinary tumors. Statistical analysis was performed by Student t test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, χ2 test or Fisher exact test. Results: There were 8.0% (23/287) patients with lymph nodes in PAFP, 3.8% (11/287) patients with PAFP lymph node metastases. Pathologically upstaged occurred in 1 patient due to the PAFP lymph node as the solitary metastatic lesion. Patients with lymph node metastases in PAFP presented higher preoperative PSA (M(IQR): 48.2(73.0) μg/L vs. 15.4(26.5) μg/L, Z=3.158, P=0.002), clinical T stage and N stage (Z=2.977, P=0.003; Z=2.780, P=0.005) and preoperative Gleason score (Z=2.205, P=0.027). Conclusions: Routine dissection of PAFP at RP and separately pathological analysis may allow more lymph nodes and lymph node metastases detection. More accurate pathological N stage may be acquired and consequently may improve the survival of patients by offering more appropriate adjuvant or salvage therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Current guidelines recommend moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) for health benefit in adults. However, it is difficult to meet the recommended minimum MVPA in “oldest old” aged over 85. Although walking is simple and easy exercise for oldest old, research on the association between walking and mortality in oldest old are lacking.
Purpose
To investigate the association between walking and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among older adults aged 85 years and older.
Methods
7047 participants aged 85 or older underwent the Korean National Health Screening Program, including self-administered questionnaire for physical activity. Reported frequency per week of walking for at least 30 minutes increment was used to classify hours of walking per week. We computed multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for walking and mutually adjusted for MVPA in relation to all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
Results
The proportions of participants who engaged in walking, moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity were 42.5% (2996/7047), 14.7% (1037/7047) and 11.0% (773/7047), respectively. Only 7.6% (538/7047) of participants met the guidelines recommended minimum MVPA. Compared to inactive individuals, those who walked at least 1 hour per week had lower all-cause (HR 0.60 [95% CI, 0.50–0.74]) and cardiovascular mortality risk (HR 0.61 [95% CI, 0.42–0.89]). Walking 1 hour per week was still significant associated with reduction of risk for all-cause (HR 0.50 [95% CI, 0.40–0.61]) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.46 [95% CI, 0.30–0.70]) among participants who reported only walking without any MVPA.
Conclusions
1 hour a week of walking might be of benefit for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in aged over 85 years, even without MVPA. Promoting walking may be a way to help oldest old avoid inactivity and encourage an active lifestyle for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk reduction.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck, is closely associated with the presence of oral microbes. However, the microbiomes of different oral niches in OSCC patients and their association with OSCC have not been adequately characterized. In this study, 305 samples were collected from 65 OSCC patients, including tumor tissue, adjacent normal tissue (paracancerous tissue), cancer surface tissue, anatomically matched contralateral normal mucosa, saliva, and tongue coat. 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequencing was used to compare the microbial composition, distribution, and co-occurrence network of different oral niches. The association between the microbiome and the clinical features of OSCC was also characterized. The oral microbiome of OSCC patients showed a regular ecological distribution. Tumor and paracancerous tissues were more microbially diverse than other oral niches. Cancer surface, contralateral normal mucosa, saliva, and tongue coat showed similar microbial compositions, especially the contralateral normal mucosa and saliva. Periodontitis-associated bacteria of the genera Fusobacterium, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Campylobacter, and Aggregatibacter, and anaerobic bacteria were enriched in tumor samples. The microbiome was highly correlated with tumor clinicopathological features, with several genera (Lautropia, Asteroleplasma, Parvimonas, Peptostreptococcus, Pyramidobacter, Roseburia, and Propionibacterium) demonstrating a relatively high diagnostic power for OSCC metastasis, potentially providing an indicator for the development of OSCC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the source and the transmission chain of a cold-chain product associated COVID-19 epidemic caused by 2019-nCoV Delta variant in Beijing. Methods: Epidemiological investigation were used to verify the exposure points of the cases. Close contacts were traced from the exposure points, and human and environmental samples were collected for nucleic acid tests. Positive samples were analyzed by gene sequencing. Results: A total of 112 cases of COVID-19 were reported in the epidemic from January 18 to February 6, 2022 in Beijing. Except for 1 case was uncertain, there were epidemiological links among 111 cases. The source of infection was the packages of imported cold-chain products from Southeast Asia, which were harvested and stored in a local cold-storage in January 2021, and packaged and sent to the cold-storage A in A district in June 2021, and then sold in batches in cold-storage B in B district from January 2022. The first case was infected in the handling of positive frozen products, and then 77 cases occurred due to working, eating and living together with the index case in the cold-storage B, cold-storage C and restaurant D. Besides the cold-storage B, C and the restaurant D, there were 16 sub-transmission chains, resulting in additional 35 cases. Conclusion: The epidemic indicated that the risk of 2019-nCoV infection from imported cold-chain products contaminated by package and highlighted the importance to strengthen the management of cold-chain industry in future.

Abstract
The regulation of intracellular ions' overload to interrupt normal bioprocesses and cause cell death has been developed as an efficient strategy (named as ion-interference therapy/IIT) to treat cancer. In this study, we design a multifunctional nanoplatform (called BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs) by in situ growth of metal organic framework nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs) onto the graphene oxide (GO) surface, subsequently reduced by ascorbic acid and modified by bovine serum albumin. This nanocomplex causes the intracellular overload of Zn2+, an increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and exerts a broad-spectrum lethality to different kinds of cancer cells. BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs can promote cell apoptosis by initiating bim (a pro-apoptotic protein)-mediated mitochondrial apoptotic events, up-regulating PUMA/NOXA expression, and down-regulating the level of Bid/p53AIP1. Meanwhile, Zn2+ excess triggers cellular dysfunction and mitochondria damage by activating the autophagy signaling pathways and disturbing the intracellular environmental homeostasis. Combined with the photothermal effect of reduced GO (rGO), BSArGO@ZIF-8 NSs mediated ion-interference and photothermal combined therapy leads to effective apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and angiogenesis, bringing a higher efficacy in tumor suppression in vivo. This designed Zn-based multifunctional nanoplatform will allow promoting further the development of IIT and the corresponding combined cancer therapy strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is suggested to be implicated in the development of cardiometabolic diseases. We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess potential causality for associations of RA with the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), coronary artery disease (CAD), and ischaemic stroke. METHOD Seventy independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with RA were identified as instrumental variables from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 58 284 European subjects. Summary-level data for the associations of the 70 genetic variants with T2D, CAD, and ischaemic stroke were taken from three GWASs with a total of 1 529 131 participants. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) MR was used in the main analyses. RESULTS The main IVW MR analysis showed that genetically determined RA was associated with higher risks of T2D [odds ratio (OR): 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.05; p < 0.001] and CAD (OR: 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.03; p = 0.012), but not ischaemic stroke (OR: 1.00, 95% CI 0.99-1.02; p = 0.961). Sensitivity analyses with multiple MR methods confirmed these associations. MR-Egger regression showed no evidence of pleiotropy in the association between genetically determined RA and the risk of T2D, CAD, and ischaemic stroke. Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis showed that the association between genetically determined RA and the risk of T2D, CAD, and ischaemic stroke was not driven by any individual SNP. CONCLUSION Genetically determined RA was associated with increased risks of T2D and CAD, suggesting that RA plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of T2D and CAD.

Abstract
The nutritional components of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) vary because of the complex process of microbial fermentation. The objective of this study was to investigate the nutritional value of FSBM from two sources and explore the mode of actions of FSBM on the improvement of nutrient digestibility with the measurements of digestive enzymes and serum biomarkers. Eight weaned barrows (initial BW: 14.12 ± 0.24 kg) equipped with T-cannula in the distal ileum were allotted to a duplicated 4 × 4 Latin-square design with four experimental diets and four periods. Four experimental diets included a soybean meal control diet, two FSBM diets, and a nitrogen-free diet. The two sources of FSBM increased the contents of CP, amino acid and lactic acid, while decreased the levels of anti-nutritional factors, including glycinin, β-conglycinin and trypsin inhibitors. Compared to soybean meal control diet, both FSBM diets significantly increased the apparent and standardised ileal digestibility of CP and amino acids (P < 0.05), increased the activities of lipase, maltase and invertase in digesta (P < 0.05), increased total antioxidant capacity, activities of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, the levels of interleukin-4, IgA, IgG and IgM in serum (P < 0.05), while decreased the levels of diamine oxidase, malondialdehyde, interleukin-6, and interleukin-2 in serum (P < 0.05). Additionally, the standardised ileal digestibility of amino acids were highly correlated with the aforementioned digestive enzymes and health-related serum biomarkers. In summary, FSBM diets showed an improved nutritional value evidenced by the higher nutrient digestibility, which may be partially derived from its beneficial effects on intestinal integrity, anti-oxidative capacity and immune function.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the etiological and epidemiological characteristics of Vibrio cholerae in Beijing during 2015-2021 and provide evidence for the prevention and control of cholera. Methods: The V. cholerae strains isolated in Beijing during 2015-2021 were analyzed by serotyping and virulence genes detection. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed for the molecular typing of the strains. Based on the collected epidemiological and clinical data of cholera cases,the epidemiological characteristics of cholera were analyzed by descriptive epidemiology method. Results: A total of 76 Vibrio cholerae O1 strains were isolated in Beijing during 2015-2021, including 61 strains from human, 10 strains from environment and 5 strains from seafood. The 76 strains consisted of 68 Ogawa strains and 8 Inaba strains. Six Ogawa strains isolated from sporadic cases carried ctxAB. After NotⅠ digestion, 76 strains were divided into 33 PFGE patterns. From 2015 to 2021, a total of 38 cholera epidemics were reported in Beijing, most of them were sporadic ones, accounting for 92.11% (35/38). A total of 45 cases were reported, and the cases occurred during June-September accounted for 97.78% (44/45). Cholera cases occurred in 9 districts of Beijing, and the cases reported in Chaoyang district accounted for 42.22% (19/45) and in Changping district accounted for 31.11% (14/45). The age of the cholera cases ranged from 19 to 63 years. Except for one case with unknown clinical symptoms, 44 cases had diarrhea symptoms with 84.09% (37/44) of the cases reporting diarrhea (3-9 times/day), followed by yellow watery stool (95.45%, 42/44), abdominal pain (68.18%, 30/44), nausea and vomiting (40.91%, 18/44) and fever (36.36%, 16/44). Conclusion: Vibrio cholerae strains isolated in Beijing during 2015-2021 were mainly O1 serotype Ogawa,most of which were non-toxigenic. The PFGE of the strains varied. Cholera epidemics occurred in 9 districts of Beijing, but most were sporadic ones with incidence peak during June-September.

Abstract
Following implantation of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) breast carcinomas from three separate individuals, 33/51 female NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice presented with progressive, unilateral to bilateral, ascending hindlimb paresis to paralysis. Mice were mildly dehydrated, in thin to poor body condition, with reduced to absent hindlimb withdrawal reflex and deep pain sensation. Microscopically, there was variable axonal swelling, vacuolation, and dilation of myelin sheaths within the ventral spinal cord and spinal nerve roots of the thoracolumbar and sacral spinal cord, as well as within corresponding sciatic nerves. Results of PCR screening of PDX samples obtained at necropsy and pooled environmental swabs from the racks housing affected animals were positive for lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus (LDV). LDV is transmitted through animal-animal contact or commonly as a contaminant of biologic materials of mouse origin. Infection is associated with progressive degenerative myelopathy and neuropathy in strains of mice harboring endogenous retrovirus (AKR, C58), or in immunosuppressed strains (NOD-SCID, Foxn1nu), and can interfere with normal immune responses and alter engraftment and growth of xenograft tumors in immunosuppressed mice. This is the first reported series of LDV-induced poliomyelitis in NSG mice and should be recognized as a potentially significant confounder to biomedical studies utilizing immunodeficient xenograft models.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of imported COVID-19 cases and the effect of vaccination on virus load and disease severity of the cases in Beijing. Methods: The data of the imported COVID-19 cases in Beijing were collected from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System of China Information for Disease Control and Prevention and Epidemiology investigation. The data were processed and analyzed by Excel 2010 and SPSS 22.0. Results: From June 1 to September 30, 2021, a total of 171 imported COVID-19 cases were reported in Beijing, of which 66.67% (114/171) were asymptomatic. The cases were mainly from the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation, accounting for 67.84% (116/171). The male to female ratio of the cases was 2∶1 (114∶57). The median age M (Q1, Q3) of the cases was 28 (23, 36) years. The cases of Chinese accounted for 80.12% (137/171). The sequencing of the whole genome of the virus in 47 imported COVID-19 cases showed that the proportion of Delta variant was 76.60% (36/47). The COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate in the cases was 60.82% (104/171), but the full vaccination coverage rate was 53.80% (92/171). In the imported COVID-19 cases, 13.53% (23/170) were screened to be SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid positive on the day when they arrived in Beijing, and all the cases were positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid within 28 days. The severity of the disease was higher in the unvaccinated group than in the partially vaccinated group and fully vaccinated group (P<0.001). In the unvaccinated group, there were 1 severe case and 1 critical case. The median Ct values M (Q1, Q3) of N gene and ORFlab gene in unvaccinated group were 32.51 (23.23, 36.06) and 32.78 (24.00, 36.38), respectively. There was no significant difference in the median of double-gene Ct value between the partially vaccinated group and the fully vaccinated group. Conclusions: During the study period, most of the imported COVID-19 cases in Beijing were asymptomatic. No matter vaccinated or not, the viral loads in the COVID-19 cases were similar, but the vaccination could reduce the severity of the disease.

Abstract
M2 macrophages are generally recognized to have a protumor role, while the effect of M1 macrophages in cancer is controversial. Here, the in vitro and in vivo effects of conditioned medium from M1 macrophages (M1-CM) on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells and a potential mechanism were studied. CCK-8, colony formation, EdU labeling, xenograft growth, and Transwell assays were utilized to observe cell survival/proliferation and migration/invasion, respectively, in OSCC cell lines treated with basic medium (BM) and M1-CM. The ErbB2 phosphorylation inhibitor (CI-1033) and GDF15 knockout cell lines were used to appraise the role of ErbB2 and GDF15 in mediating the effects of M1-CM. Compared with BM, M1-CM significantly enhanced the survival/proliferation of SCC25 cells. The migration/invasion of SCC25 and CAL27 cells also increased. Mechanically, M1-CM promoted GDF15 expression and increased the phosphorylation of ErbB2, AKT, and ErK. CI-1033 significantly declined the M1-CM-induced activation of p-AKT and p-ErK and its protumor effects. M1-CM stimulated enhancement of p-ErbB2 expression was significantly decreased in cells with GDF15 gene knockout vs without. In xenograft, M1-CM pretreatment significantly promoted the carcinogenic potential of OSCC cells. Our results demonstrate that M1 macrophages induce the proliferation, migration, invasion, and xenograft development of OSCC cells. Mechanistically, this protumor effect of M1 macrophages is partly associated with inducing GDF15-mediated ErbB2 phosphorylation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and the transmission chain of a family clustering of COVID-19 cases caused by severe acute respiratory 2019-nCoV Delta variant in Changping district of Beijing. Methods: Epidemiological investigation was conducted and big data were used to reveal the exposure history of the cases. Close contacts were screened according to the investigation results, and human and environmental samples were collected for nucleic acid tests. Positive samples were analyzed by gene sequencing. Results: On November 1, 2021, a total of 5 COVID-19 cases caused by 2019-nCoV Delta variant were reported in a family detected through active screening. The infection source was a person in the same designated isolation hotel where the first case of the family cluster was isolated from 22 to 27, October. The first case was possibly infected through aerosol particles in the ventilation duct system of the isolation hotel. After the isolation discharge on October 27, and the first case caused secondary infections of four family members while living together from October 27 to November 1, 2021. Conclusion: 2019-nCoV Delta variant is prone to cause family cluster, and close attention needs to be paid to virus transmission through ventilation duct system in isolation hotels.

Abstract
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes is an important source of nitrogen supply in sustainable agriculture. Salinity is a key abiotic stress that negatively affects host plant growth, rhizobium-legume symbiosis and nitrogen fixation. This work investigates how the symbiotic relationship impacts plant response to salinity stress. We assayed the physiological changes and the proteome profile of alfalfa plants with active nodules (NA), inactive nodules (NI) or without nodules (NN) when plants were subjected to salinity stress. Our data suggest that NA plants respond to salinity stress through some unique signalling regulations. NA plants showed upregulation of proteins related to cell wall remodelling and reactive oxygen species scavenging, and downregulation of proteins involved in protein synthesis and degradation. The data also show that NA plants, together with NI plants, upregulated proteins involved in photosynthesis, carbon fixation and respiration, anion transport and plant defence against pathogens. The study suggests that the symbiotic relationship gave the host plant a better capacity to adjust key processes, probably to more efficiently use energy and resources, deal with oxidative stress, and maintain ion homeostasis and health during salinity stress.

Abstract
A chondrocyte-to-osteoblast lineage continuum exists in the growth plate. Adipogenic differentiation of chondrocytes in vivo should be investigated. Here, unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC), which can induce osteoarthritic lesions in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), was applied to 6-wk-old C57BL/6 mice. Matrix loss in TMJ cartilage was obvious, as demonstrated by safranin O staining, and the condylar cartilage elastic modulus values, detected by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), were reduced, indicating cartilage softening that might be linked with loss of the highly charged proteoglycan. By crossing the Rosa26/tdTomato (TdT) mice with Sox9;CreERT2 mice or with Col10;CreERT2 mice, we obtained the Sox9-TdT and Col10-TdT strains, respectively, in which the Sox9- or Col10-expressing cells, accordingly, were labeled by TdT. A few TdT-labeled cells in both strains expressed AdipoQ or DMP-1. The Sox9-TdT+AdipoQ+ cells were primarily located in the deep zone cartilage and then in the whole cartilage. Col10-TdT+AdipoQ+ cells, Sox9-TdT+DMP-1+ cells, and Col10-TdT+DMP-1+ cells were located in the deep zone region. UAC promoted AdipoQ and DMP-1 expression in cartilage. The percentages of Sox9-TdT+AdipoQ+ and Col10-TdT+AdipoQ+ cells to Sox9-TdT+ and Col10-TdT+ cells, respectively, were increased (both P < 0.05), implying that more chondrocytes were undergoing adipogenic differentiation in the UAC group, the cartilage of which was softened. The percentages of Sox9-TdT+DMP-1+ and Col10-TdT+DMP-1+ cells to Sox9-TdT+ cells and Col10-TdT+ cells, respectively, were increased (both P < 0.05), consistent with our report that UAC enhanced deep zone cartilage calcification, causing stiffening of the deep zone cartilage. Our present data demonstrated that TMJ chondrocyte descendants can become adipogenic in vivo in addition to becoming osteogenic. This potential was promoted in osteoarthritic cartilage, in which deep zone cartilage calcification-associated cartilage stiffening and proteoglycan loss-associated cartilage softening were both stimulated.

Abstract
Asthma is a respiratory disease with a clinically high incidence, and repeated attacks of asthma severely affect the quality of life and even pose a threat to health, leading to severe burdens on families and even the society. A thorough understanding of the pathogenesis of asthma is essential for the prevention and treatment of asthma. This study aimed to examine the effect of the microRNA miR-27a on asthma and its relationship with mitogen activated protein kinase 4 (MAP2K4). Patients with asthma admitted to our hospital from August 2016 to August 2018 and healthy participants in the same period were included in this prospective analysis. The mRNA expression levels of miR-27a and MAP2K4 in peripheral blood were determined. Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) were used to study the effects of miR-27a and MAP2K4 on cell biological behavior. The relationship between miR-27a and MAP2K4 was verified using dual-luciferase reporter assay. miR-27a expression was increased and MAP2K4 mRNA expression was decreased in asthma (P < 0.05). Increasing miR-27a expression and inhibiting MAP2K4 expression could enhance the activity of ASMCs, whereas inhibiting miR-27a expression and increasing MAP2K4 expression had the opposite effect (P < 0.05). Dual-luciferase reporter assay results showed that the fluorescence activity of MAP2K4-wild type was inhibited by increased miR-27a expression (P < 0.05). miR-27a promotes the proliferation and invasion of ASMCs by targeting MAP2K4 and is involved in the occurrence of asthma.

Abstract
Introduction
Identification of coronary atherosclerotic plaques at risk of causing future acute coronary syndromes remains a major unmet clinical challenge. The addition of vessel biomechanics to intracoronary imaging derived evaluation of plaque morphology, improves identification of plaques likely to develop high risk features. We and others have developed a framework for intracoronary imaging (optical coherence tomography [OCT]) based 3D reconstructions of coronary arteries for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of shear stress, which are considered the current gold standard approach for quantification of coronary arterial haemodynamics. However, these approaches are time consuming and computationally intensive, resulting in a barrier to clinical uptake.
Purpose
Determination of time averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) based on 3D coronary geometries from non-invasive 3D Quantitative Coronary Angiography (3D-QCA) has recently been developed (Pie Medical Imaging, Netherlands), which enables results of shear stress simulations to be available within 30 minutes. We sought to compare TAWSS determined from 3D-QCA with gold standard OCT-based CFD simulations in both normal and stenotic arteries in minipigs.
Methods
15 normal and 5 stenotic minipig coronary arteries were studied. Anatomically matched 3D arterial geometries were reconstructed from 3D-QCA and OCT using common centrelines. Boundary conditions for simulations included directly measured inlet blood velocities; parabolic inlet flow profiles, zero pressure outlet; no-slip arterial walls; blood density: 1.05 g/ml; blood dynamic viscosity: 0.035 g/cm.s. Blood was modelled as Newtonian. 3D-QCA TAWSS was obtained with a Kratos Multi-Physics CFD solver. OCT-based simulations were performed using Abaqus/CFD v6.14. TAWSS was calculated for 80 axially matched segments for both methods (1200 and 400 paired comparisons for normal and stenotic arteries, respectively). Data were analysed using Bland-Altman and Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranked tests.
Results
Computation times for 3D-QCA and OCT-based CFD were approximately 30 minutes and 2 hours respectively. Axial profiles of TAWSS were similar between the two methods and there was agreement in TAWSS magnitudes and narrow 95% limits of agreement (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Using co-registered TAWSS maps generated by each method, we find similar spatial regional distributions of TAWSS in both normal and stenotic arteries.
Conclusions
Our data suggest that 3D-QCA based TAWSS is feasible in both normal and stenotic arteries. Spatial TAWSS distributions between the two methods are similar with agreement in matched TAWSS comparisons, though there are some small systematic differences in the absolute values of TAWSS, due to different resultant arterial geometries. These encouraging data suggest that further clinical evaluation of rapid TAWSS from 3D-QCA is warranted, which may facilitate clinical adoption of TAWSS assessment.

Abstract
Mycoplasmas are the smallest autonomously self-replicating life form on the planet. Members of this bacterial genus are known to parasitise a wide array of metazoans including vertebrates. Whilst much research has been significant targeted at parasitic mammalian mycoplasmas, very little is known about their role in other vertebrates. In the current study, we aim to explore the biology of mycoplasmas in Atlantic Salmon, a species of major significance for aquaculture, including cellular niche, genome size structure and gene content. Using fluorescent in-situ hybridisation (FISH), mycoplasmas were targeted in epithelial tissues across the digestive tract (stomach, pyloric caecum and midgut) from different development stages (eggs, parr, subadult) of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), and we present evidence for an intracellular niche for some of the microbes visualised. Via shotgun metagenomic sequencing, a nearly complete, albeit small, genome (~0.57 MB) as assembled from a farmed Atlantic salmon subadult. Phylogenetic analysis of the recovered genome revealed taxonomic proximity to other salmon derived mycoplasmas, as well as to the human pathogen Mycoplasma penetrans (~1.36 Mb). We annotated coding sequences and identified riboflavin pathway encoding genes and sugar transporters, the former potentially consistent with micronutrient provisioning in salmonid development. Our study provides insights into mucosal adherence, the cellular niche and gene catalog of Mycoplasma in the gut ecosystem of the Atlantic salmon, suggesting a high dependency of this minimalist bacterium on its host. Further study is required to explore and functional role of Mycoplasma in the nutrition and development of its salmonid host.
