Abstract
Objective: To establish the animal model of subchronic manganism, and to explore the effect of manganese on neurofunction of rats and the protective effect of curcumin on neurotoxicity of manganism rats. Methods: From July to December 2019, 80 SPF male SD rats were divided into 8 groups according to body weight by random number table method, which were blank control group, low, middle and high dose manganese exposure group, low, middle and high dose curcumin antagonistic group and curcumin group, with 10 rats in each group. The low, middle and high dose manganese groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg MnCl(2)·4H(2)O respectively. The low, middle and high dose curcumin antagonistic groups were given 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg curcumin orally along with 15 mg/kg MnCl(2)·4H(2)O intraperitoneal injection. Curcumin group was given 400 mg/kg curcumin orally. The rats were exposed to 5 days a week, once a day for 16 weeks. After exposure, neurobehavioral tests (balance beam test, Morris water maze, passive avoidance test) were carried out in each group. Hippocampus tissues were taken for pathological examination and oxidative stress indexes were detected. Results: The balance beam test results showed that, compared with the blank control group, the scores of balance beam of the rats in the middle and high dose manganese exposure groups increased (P<0.05) . Compared with the high dose manganese exposure group, the balance beam scores of the low, middle and high dose curcumin antagonistic groups were decreased (P<0.05) .The results of Morris water maze showed that, compared with the blank control group, the escape latency of middle and high dose manganese exposure groups was prolonged from the third day (P<0.05) , and the average number of crossing the platform area of each manganese exposure group was decreased (P<0.05) .Compared with the high dose manganese exposure group, the escape latency of the middle and high dose curcumin antagonistic groups was shortened (P<0.05) , and the average number of crossing the original platform was increased (P<0.05) . The results of passive avoidance test show that, compared with the blank control group, the number of errors were increased in middle and high dose manganese exposure groups (P<0.05) . Compared with the high dose manganese exposure group, the number of errors in the passive avoidance test in the middle and high dose curcumin antagonistic groups were decreased (P<0.05) . Pathological examination showed that the rats treated with manganses had different degrees of degeneration and necrosis of nerve cells, and the structure of nerve cells was blurred and the number of nerve cells decreased. The above phenomena were improved after curcumin antagonism. The results of oxidative stress index showed that, compared with blank control group, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) decreased and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) increased in the hippocampus of rats exposed to middle and high dose of manganese (P<0.05) . Compared with the high dose manganese exposure group, the SOD activity increased and the MDA content decreased in the middle and high dose antagonist group (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Subchronic manganese exposure can reduce the balance function, learning and memory ability of rats, and damage the hippocampal nerve cells in oxidative stress state. Curcumin can improve the balance function and learning and memory ability of rats with manganese poisoning, improve the hippocampal nerve damage caused by manganese exposure, and has a certain protective effect on manganese induced neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Background: The mechanism of miR-320d in EGFR-positive colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to explore the molecular mechanism of miR-320d in CRC. Methods: The miRNA microarray analysis was conducted to identify differential expressed miRNAs. The expression of miR-320d was validated using quantitative real-time PCR. EGFR-positive CRC cells were transfected with miR-320d mimic and inhibitor, after which cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were assayed. The relationship between miR-320d and TUSC3 was confirmed using bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays. Proteins involved in signaling pathways and the epithelial–mesenchymal transition were detected with Western blot. Results: We found that the miR-320d expression is associated with tumor size and distant metastasis in colorectal cancer. Overexpression of miR-320d in EGFR-positive HCT-116 and SW480 cells decreased not only the proliferation ability but also the invasion and migration ability. In addition, miR-320d had the ability to inhibit epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Luciferase assays revealed that miR-320d directly targets the 3′-UTR of TUSC3. TUSC3 was downregulated by miR-320d at both the protein and mRNA levels in EGFR-positive CRC cell lines. Conclusion: Generally, our results demonstrated that miR-320d could inhibit the malignant phenotype of EGFR-positive CRC through targeting TUSC3. The miR-320d might be a potential therapeutic target for EGFR-positive CRC.

Abstract
CircRNA circFADS2 suppresses LPS-induced inflammation, which plays a critical role in endometritis. Our preliminary sequencing analysis revealed a positive correlation between circFADS2 and miR-643, which also play protective roles in LPS-induced inflammation. Therefore, this study was performed to explore the involvement of circFADS2 in endometritis with a focus on its interaction with miR-643. RT-qPCR was performed to analyze the levels circFADS2, mature miR-643, and premature miR-643 in plasma samples from endometritis patients (n = 66) and healthy controls (n = 66). Pearson's correlation coefficient was applied to analyze correlations between these genes. The effect of circFADS2 on miR-643 maturation was analyzed by measuring miR-643 and premature miR-643 levels in circFADS2-overexpressed human endometrial epithelial cell line HEnEpCs. The role of circFADS2 and miR-643 in HEnEpC apoptosis under LPS treatment was analyzed by cell apoptosis assay. CircFADS2 was downregulated in endometritis and was positively correlated with mature miR-643, but not premature miR-643. CircFADS2 overexpression in HEnEpCs increased the level of mature miR-643 but not premature miR-643. Cell apoptosis analysis showed that circFADS2 and miR-643 overexpression protected HEnEpCs from LPS-induced cell apoptosis, and miR-643 inhibition reduced the effect of circFADS2 overexpression. CircFADS2 is downregulated in endometritis, and it overexpression promotes miR-643 maturation in HEnEpCs to suppress cell apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor worldwide. The present study was aimed to identify potential hub genes involved in the progression of HCC and investigate its clinical and prognostic significance. METHOD First, the dataset GSE76427 was used to construct a co-expression network. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to investigate the meaningful module. Then protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were applied to study hub genes correlated with the HCC progression. The hub gene expression and their prognostic correlation were further analyzed by a series of database. Paraffin-embedded HCC tissues obtained by biopsy from 225 patients were subjected to immunohistochemistry. RESULT Twelve co-expressed gene modules were identified using WGCNA. The pink module showed a higher correlation with overall survival years (r = 0.69, P = 0.02). Bioinformatics analysis show the real hub gene was PABPC1 and the PABPC1 mRNA expression was higher in HCC tissues compared with normal tissues. GSEA analysis indicated that PABPC1 expression was associated with P53 signaling pathway. High expression of PABPC1 was correlated with TNM stage (P = 0.004) and serum AFP (P = 0.001). High expression of PABPC1 was correlated with worse overall survival for HCC. Multivariate analysis showed that PABPC1 was an independent prognostic factor for HCC (HR = 4.137, 95%CI: 2.454-6.974, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION In general, PABPC1 may contribute to the progression of HCC. Moreover, PABPC1 has potential to be used as prognostic markers in HCC.

Abstract
This study aimed to predict long‐term progression‐free survival (PFS) using early M‐protein dynamic measurements in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The PFS was modeled based on dynamic M‐protein data from two phase III studies, POLLUX and CASTOR, which included 569 and 498 patients with relapsed/refractory MM, respectively. Both studies compared active controls (lenalidomide and dexamethasone, and bortezomib and dexamethasone, respectively) alone vs. in combination with daratumumab. Three M‐protein dynamic features from the longitudinal M‐protein data were evaluated up to different time cutoffs (1, 2, 3, and 6 months). The abilities of early M‐protein dynamic measurements to predict the PFS were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards survival models. Both univariate and multivariable analyses suggest that maximum reduction of M‐protein (i.e., depth of response) was the most predictive of PFS. Despite the statistical significance, the baseline covariates provided very limited predictive value regarding the treatment effect of daratumumab. However, M‐protein dynamic features obtained within the first 2 months reasonably predicted PFS and the associated treatment effect of daratumumab. Specifically, the areas under the time‐varying receiver operating characteristic curves for the model with the first 2 months of M‐protein dynamic data were ~ 0.8 and 0.85 for POLLUX and CASTOR, respectively. Early M‐protein data within the first 2 months can provide a prospective and reasonable prediction of future long‐term clinical benefit for patients with MM.

Abstract
The objective was to explore if and how the microbiota changed in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women compared with healthy women. Eight obese PCOS (PO group), 10 nonobese PCOS (PN group), and nine healthy normal weight women (control) (C group) were enrolled. Insulin (INS), testosterone (T), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen (E2), and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) were detected with radioimmunoassay. Antimullerian hormone (AMH), fasting glucose, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were determined by a chemiluminescence immunoassay, glucose oxidase method, and HPLC, respectively. Gut microbiota composition was evaluated by PCR. Alpha diversity was assessed using Chao1 and the Shannon index. PCOS women showed significantly higher T, LH, and LH/FSH and lower FSH levels than the C group (p < 0.05). The AMH level was significantly higher in the PO than in the PN group (p < 0.05). The PO group presented a significantly higher fasting INS level and HMOA-IR scores than the other groups, lower observed SVs and alpha diversity than the C group, higher beta diversity than the PN group (p < 0.05), and decreased abundances of genera (mainly butyrate producers). Regression analysis showed that decreased abundances of several genera were correlated with higher circulating T and impaired glucose metabolism. PCOS is associated with changes in the gut microbiota composition. Obesity has a driving role in the development of dysbiotic gut microbiota in PCOS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of the current study were to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity by four different references and to explore the characteristics of adolescent overweight and obesity in Chinese secondary school students aged 12-18 years. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study was conducted in this study. METHODS Using stratified random cluster sampling, 8999 secondary school students were enrolled. The references developed by Must and Dallal and Dietz, the Childhood Obesity Working Group of the International Obesity Task Force, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Group of China Obesity Task Force (GCOTF reference) were used to identify overweight and obese students. RESULTS The prevalence of adolescent overweight and obesity vary substantially based on the four references. The prevalence of adolescent overweight and obesity based on GCOTF reference are 8.4% and 4.1%, respectively, which is significantly lower than the prevalence of overweight and obesity in their peers in 2000 (χ2 = 24.03, P < 0.01). The prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys are 12.0% and 5.7%, which are higher than those in girls, 4.6% and 5.7% (χ2 = 240.68, P < 0.01). The prevalence of overweight and obesity in singletons are higher than those in non-singletons (χ2 = 40.25, P < 0.01). The prevalence of overweight and obesity in students with lower school community ladder of subjective social status are higher than those from higher ones (χ2 = 21.61, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The GCOTF reference is more suitable for screening overweight and obesity in Chinese adolescents. The current prevalence rates of adolescent overweight and obesity decreased, and girls made a tremendous contribution to this decreasing trend. Singletons and adolescents in lower school community ladder of subjective socio-economic status may be at higher risk of getting overweight and obesity. More effective strategies with full consideration to the characteristics above should be developed to control and prevent adolescent overweight and obesity.

Abstract
On the basis of the genotypic/phenotypic data from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) and Cox proportional hazard model, the present study demonstrates that interactions between carrying FOXO1A-209 genotypes and tea drinking are significantly associated with lower risk of mortality at advanced ages. Such a significant association is replicated in two independent Han Chinese CLHLS cohorts (p = 0.028-0.048 in the discovery and replication cohorts, and p = 0.003-0.016 in the combined dataset). We found the associations between tea drinking and reduced mortality are much stronger among carriers of the FOXO1A-209 genotype compared to non-carriers, and drinking tea is associated with a reversal of the negative effects of carrying FOXO1A-209 minor alleles, that is, from a substantially increased mortality risk to substantially reduced mortality risk at advanced ages. The impacts are considerably stronger among those who carry two copies of the FOXO1A minor allele than those who carry one copy. On the basis of previously reported experiments on human cell models concerning FOXO1A-by-tea-compounds interactions, we speculate that results in the present study indicate that tea drinking may inhibit FOXO1A-209 gene expression and its biological functions, which reduces the negative impacts of FOXO1A-209 gene on longevity (as reported in the literature) and offers protection against mortality risk at oldest-old ages. Our empirical findings imply that the health outcomes of particular nutritional interventions, including tea drinking, may, in part, depend upon individual genetic profiles, and the research on the effects of nutrigenomics interactions could potentially be useful for rejuvenation therapies in the clinic or associated healthy aging intervention programs.
