Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pseudobulbar palsy is a common symptom in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but it is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed as other diseases. The Center for Neurologic Study Lability Scale (CNS-LS) is a self-report scale consisting of seven questions designed for evaluating pseudobulbar affect (PBA). The current study aimed to validate a Chinese version of the CNS-LS. METHODS The Chinese version of the CNS-LS was obtained through a standardized forward-backward translation and cultural adaptation. A total of 105 patients with ALS were recruited from the ALS database of Peking University Third Hospital in Beijing, China, to complete the CNS-LS. The reliability of the Chinese version was determined by the test-retest method, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed for criterion validity. RESULTS Of 105 patients with ALS, 37 had symptoms of PBA and were diagnosed with that condition by neurologists. Forty-two patients completed the CNS-LS twice, and there was no statistically significant difference between the scores (Z = -0.896, p = 0.37). The Spearman correlation coefficient between the test and retest scores was 0.940 (p < 0.0005), and the Cronbach alpha coefficient was high (α = 0.905, n = 105). Scores of 12 or higher on the CNS-LS identified PBA with sensitivity of 0.919 and specificity of 0.882. The area under the ROC curve was 0.924. CONCLUSION The Chinese version of the CNS-LS demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity in the group of patients with ALS enrolled in this study. The CNS-LS should be a useful instrument for clinical and research purposes for patients in this language group.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to infer the effects of heat stress (HS) during late gestation of dams on phenotypes and on direct and maternal genetic parameters for birth weight (BiW). We considered 171,221 Holstein calves kept in 56 large-scale co-operator herds. For a clear separation of maternal effects, only calves from dams with at least 3 offspring were included in the analyses. The genotype data set comprised 41,143 SNPs from 1,883 Holstein bulls. Temperature-humidity indices (THI) during the last 8 wk of gestation were calculated in each herd to reflect prenatal HS. A further prenatal HS descriptor was the first principal component (PC1) from principal component analysis considering the daily THI during the last 56 d of gestation. Regression coefficients of BiW on prenatal THI during the last 12 wk of gestation and PC1 were estimated in 13 consecutive phenotypic analyses. The strongest BiW decline was -0.63 kg per standardized THI, identified during 50 to 56 d before birth. A reaction norm model with weekly prenatal THI or PC1 nested within maternal genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects was defined to infer maternal sensitivity in response to prenatal THI alterations. Direct BiW heritabilities were close to 0.33 in the course of prenatal THI. Maternal BiW heritabilities marginally increased from 0.07 to 0.08 with increasing THI. Genetic correlations between maternal genetic effects at maximum HS levels and remaining THI were larger than 0.95, indicating the absence of genotype by time-lagged HS interactions. In contrast, maternal permanent environmental correlations between BiW at prenatal THI indicating HS with BiW at remaining THI substantially declined with increasing THI distances. Hence, from a herd management perspective, avoiding HS during the dry period of the dams will contribute to a slight increase in fetus growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The beneficial role of immunotherapy and the clinical relevance of current biomarkers remain inconclusive; thus, appropriate strategies and reliable predictors need further definition. A rational combination of biomarkers is needed. Here, we estimated potential predictive factors for responses of radiotherapy (RT) combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in a phase II trial to determine the efficacy and safety of combination of moderate hypofractionated RT with ICI in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC (NCT03557411). MATERIALS/METHODS Pretreatment tumor tissue samples and longitudinal blood were collected for immune and tumor biomarker analysis. We examined pre-treatment (pre-ICI) PD-L1 expression in tumor cells. Circulating tumor cell (CTC), PD-L1+CTC, blood tumor mutation burden (bTMB), CD8+T cells, CD4+T cells, NK cells, B cells in circulation were acquired pre-ICI and 1 month after ICI starting (1-mth). In addition, early changes of CTC (CTC), PD-L1+CTC (PD-L1+CTC), bTMB (bTMB), CD8+T cells (CD8+T cells), CD4+T cells (CD4+T cells), NK cells (NK cells), B cells (B cells) were also analyzed to estimate the predictive effects for treatment. RESULTS High pre-ICI bTMB and increased CD8+T cells at 1 month was associated with better PFS (p = 0.016; p = 0.006). Interaction analyses revealed that each combination of two markers in the 5 markers including PD-L1, pre-ICI bTMB, 1-mth bTMB, 1-mth CD8+T cells and CD8+T cells was significantly associated with PFS, except for CTC, PD-L1+CTC, CD4+T cells, NK cells and B cells in circulation due to low power. Unsupervised cluster analysis based on these markers revealed three sub-cohorts. Cohort-1 was overrepresented by patients with progressive disease (81%) of whom were negative for 3-4 of the 5 biomarkers. Cohort-3 was overrepresented by patients with partial response (70%) of whom were positive for 3-4 of the 5 biomarkers. Survival analyses of the 3 cohorts indicated a significant association with PFS (p = 0.017). CONCLUSION This study suggests that a combination of PD-L1 expression, early changes of bTMB and circulated CD8+T cells as a better predictive biomarker for response to RT combined with ICI. Consequently, refinement of this set of biomarkers and validation in a larger set of patients is warranted.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequently diagnosed primary liver tumor worldwide. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) usually have a similar phenotype to M2-like macrophages and can participate in tumor progression by secreting cytokines to suppress the immune response and activity of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. We investigated the role of M2 macrophages in HCC progression and explored the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor-apatinib. As a cellular model of HCC, Hepb3 cell line was used. M2 macrophages were obtained by differentiation of THP-1 cells. The Transwell chamber was used to co-culture M2 macrophages and Hepb3 cells. CCK-8 and EdU assays were conducted to measure cell viability and proliferation capacity. Transwell migration assay was performed to estimate cellular metastatic potential. Cytokine expression levels were assessed by ELISA. Western blotting was used to characterize activation of the VEGFR2/STAT3/PD-L1 axis. It has been shown that co-culture with M2 macrophages increased viability, cytokine production, promoted proliferation, invasion, and migration of Hepb3 cells. The secretion of TGF-β1, IL-6, MMP-9, and VEGF was significantly increased after co-culture. In contrast apatinib suppressed M2 macrophage-induced proliferation, cell viability, invasion, and migration of Hepb3 cells. Moreover, apatinib markedly decreased expression levels of p-VEGFR2, p-STAT3, and PD-L1 in Hepb3 cells under the co-culture conditions. In conclusion, apatinib treatment can suppress TAMs-mediated malignant behavior of HCC cells via modulation of the VEGFR2/STAT3/PD-L1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to infer the effects of heat stress (HS) of dams during late gestation on direct and maternal genetic parameters for pneumonia (PNEU, 112,563 observations), diarrhea (DIAR, 176,904 observations), and omphalitis (OMPH, 176,872 observations) in Holstein calves kept in large-scale co-operator herds. The genotype dataset included 41,135 SNPs from 19,247 male and female cattle. Temperature-humidity indices (THI) during the last 8 wk of pregnancy were calculated, using the climate data from the nearest public weather station for each herd. Heat load effects were considered for average weekly THI larger than 60. Phenotypically, regression coefficients of calf diseases on prenatal THI during the last 8 wk of gestation were estimated in 8 consecutive runs. The strongest detrimental effects of prenatal HS on PNEU and DIAR were identified for the last week of pregnancy (wk 1). Thus, only wk 1 was considered in ongoing genetic and genomic analyses. In an advanced model considering prenatal HS, random regression coefficients on THI in wk 1 nested within maternal genetic effects (maternal slope effects for heat load) were considered as parameters to infer maternal sensitivity in response to prenatal THI alterations. Direct heritabilities from the advanced model ranged from 0.10 (THI 60) to 0.08 (THI 74) for PNEU and were close to 0.16 for DIAR. Maternal heritabilities for PNEU increased from 0.03 to 0.10 along the THI gradient. For DIAR, the maternal heritability was largest (0.07) at the minimum THI (THI = 60) and decreased to 0.05 at THI 74. Genetic correlations smaller than 0.80 for PNEU and DIAR recorded at THI 60 with corresponding diseases at THI 74 indicated genotype by climate interactions for maternal genetic effects. Genome-wide associations studies were performed using de-regressed proofs of genotyped sires for direct genetic, maternal genetic, and maternal slope effects. Thirty suggestive and 2 significant SNPs were identified from the GWAS. Forty-three genes located close to the suggestive SNPs (±100 kb) were annotated as potential candidate genes. Three biological processes were inferred on the basis of the these genes, addressing the negative regulation of the viral life cycle, innate immune response, and protein ubiquitination. Hence, the genetics of prenatal heat stress mechanisms are associated with immune physiology and disease resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Contents of milk fatty acids (FA) display remarkable alterations along climatic gradients. Detecting candidate genes underlying such alterations might be beneficial for the exploration of climate sensitivity in dairy cattle. Consequently, we aimed on the definition of FA heat stress indicators, considering FA breeding values in response to temperature-humidity index (THI) alterations. Indicators were used in GWAS, in ongoing gene annotations and for the estimation of chromosome-wide variance components. The phenotypic data set consisted of 39,600 test-day milk FA records from 5,757 first-lactation Holstein dairy cows kept in 16 large-scale German cooperator herds. The FA traits were C18:0, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), saturated fatty acids (SFA), and unsaturated fatty acids (UFA). After genotype quality control, 40,523 SNP markers from 3,266 cows and 930 sires were considered. Meteorological data from the weather station in closest herd distance were used for the calculation of maximum hourly daily THI, which were allocated to 10 different THI classes. The same FA from 3 stages of lactation were considered as different, but genetically correlated traits. Consequently, a 3-trait reaction norm model was used to estimate genetic parameters and breeding values for FA along THI classes, considering either pedigree (A) or genomic (G) relationship matrices. De-regressed proofs and genomic estimated breeding values at the intermediate THI class 5 and at the extreme THI class 10 were used as pseudophenotypes in ongoing genomic analyses for thermoneutral (TNC) and heat stress conditions (HSC), respectively. The differences in de-regressed proofs and in genomic estimated breeding values from both THI classes were pseudophenotypes for heat stress response (HSR). Genetic correlations between the same FA under TNC and HSC were smallest in the first lactation stage and ranged from 0.20 for PUFA to 0.87 for SFA when modeling with the A matrix, and from 0.35 for UFA to 0.86 for SFA when modeling with the G matrix. In the first lactation stage, larger additive genetic variances under HSC compared with TNC indicate climate sensitivity for C18:0, PUFA, and UFA. Climate sensitivity was also reflected by pronounced chromosome-wide genetic variances for HSR of PUFA and UFA in the first stage of lactation. For all FA under TNC, HSC, and HSR, quite large genetic variance proportions were explained by BTA14. In GWAS, 30 SNP (within or close to 38 potential candidate genes) overlapped for HSR of the different FA. One unique potential candidate gene (AMFR) was detected for HSR of PUFA, 15 for HSR of SFA (ADGRB1, DENND3, DUSP16, EFR3A, EMP1, ENSBTAG00000003838, EPS8, MGP, PIK3C2G, STYK1, TMEM71, GSG1, SMARCE1, CCDC57, and FASN) and 3 for HSR of UFA (ENSBTAG00000048091, PAEP, and EPPK1). The identified unique genes play key roles in milk FA synthesis and are associated with disease resistance in dairy cattle. The results suggest consideration of FA in combination with climatic responses when inferring genetic mechanisms of heat stress in dairy cows.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of retroperitoneal laparoscopic selective renal artery branch occlusion with nephron sparing surgery in patients with renal carcinoma of stage ≥ T1b. Methods: From July 2016 to September 2020, 35 patients with renal cancer ≥T1b underwent retroperitoneoscopic nephron sparing surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University. The surgical methods were retroperitoneoscopic nephron sparing surgery with total renal artery occlusion (group A) or selective renal artery branch occlusion (group B). Operation time, heat ischemia time, blood transfusion rate, positive margin rate, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups, and the total glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (sGFR) of the offected kidneys were compared between the two groups before, 3 months after and 12 months after surgery. Results: Among the 35 patients, 19 were male and 16 were female, aged (55.7±8.4) years and the body mass index is (24.6±3.1) kg/m2. The tumor diameter was (54.7±10.3) mm. The difference was statistically significant of operative time between group A and B [(103.5±14.3) vs (123.2±14.1) min,P=0.003]. There were no significant differences in thermal ischemia time, blood transfusion rate, positive margin, intraoperative blood loss, incidence of postoperative complications and length of hospital stay between the two groups (all P>0.05). The decrease of renal sGFR in the group A was significantly higher than group B at 3 months and 12 months after surgery [(23.1±3.6) vs (29.1±7.1) ml/min;(25.9±4.7) vs (30.7±7.2),both P<0.05]. Conclusion: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic selective renal artery branch occlusion and neon-sparing surgery for patients with ≥ T1b stage renal carcinoma is a safe and effective surgical method, which can well protect the renal function of patients in the early postoperative stage without increasing intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism of action of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in endometrial glucose transporter-4 (GLUT-4) expression regulation by detecting the expression levels of endometrial inflammatory factors and GLUT-4 in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A total of 140 patients were included in this study and divided into four groups: the PCOS group, the obesity + PCOS group, the normal group, and the obesity group (n = 35 each). The general clinical data of all patients were collected, and their expression levels of TNF-α, nuclear factor kappa B p65 (NF-κBp65), and GLUT-4 in the endometrium were tested via immunohistochemistry. Endometrial stromal cells were cultured in vitro and treated with TNF-α or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) + TNF-α, and the expression levels of NF-κBp65, phospho-NF-κBp65 (p-NF-κBp65), and GLUT-4 were tested using Western blotting (WB) before and after treatment. As a result, we got: 1) Compared with the normal group, the abundance of the protein for TNF-α and NF-κBp65 in the endometrium of the patients with PCOS was elevated, while the expression level of GLUT-4 was decreased; the difference was statistically different (P < 0.05). The comparison between the obesity + PCOS group and the PCOS group yielded the same results. 2) According to the WB results, compared with the normal group, the abundance of the protein for endometrial GLUT-4 was decreased in the PCOS group, and the expression levels of p-NF-κBp65 and NF-κBp65 were increased in the obesity + PCOS group; the differences were statistically different (P < 0.05). The addition of TNF-α could decrease the abundance of the protein for GLUT-4 and increase the abundance of the protein for p-NF-κBp65. After treatment with PDTC + TNF-α, the abundance of the protein for p-NF-κBp65 decreased and GLUT-4 increased compared with the TNF-α group; these values were close to those of the control group. We concluded that the abundance of the proteins for local inflammatory factors in the endometrial cells of patients with PCOS was increased, indicating that TNF-α could affect the expression of endometrial GLUT-4 in such patients by activating the p-NF-κBp65 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Milk fatty acids (FA) have been suggested as biomarkers for early-lactation metabolic diseases and for female fertility status. The aim of the present study was to infer associations between FA, the metabolic disorder ketosis (KET), and the interval from calving to first insemination (ICF) genetically and genomically. In this regard, we focused on a single-step genomic BLUP approach, allowing consideration of genotyped and ungenotyped cows simultaneously. The phenotypic data set considered 38,375 first-lactation Holstein cows, kept in 45 large-scale co-operator herds from 2 federal states in Germany. The calving years for these cows were from 2014 to 2017. Concentrations in milk from the first official milk recording test-day for saturated, unsaturated (UFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated, palmitic, and stearic (C18:0) FA were determined via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Ketosis was defined as a binary trait according to a veterinarian diagnosis key, considering diagnoses within a 6-wk interval after calving. A subset of 9,786 cows was genotyped for 40,989 SNP markers. Variance components and heritabilities for all Gaussian distributed FA and for ICF, and for binary KET were estimated by applying single-step genomic BLUP single-trait linear and threshold models, respectively. Genetic correlations were estimated in series of bivariate runs. Genomic breeding values for the single-step genomic BLUP estimations were dependent traits in single-step GWAS. Heritabilities for FA were moderate in the range from 0.09 to 0.20 (standard error = 0.02-0.03), but quite small for ICF (0.08, standard error = 0.01) and for KET (0.05 on the underlying liability scale, posterior standard deviation = 0.02). Genetic correlations between KET and UFA, MUFA, and C18:0 were large (0.74 to 0.85, posterior standard deviation = 0.14-0.19), and low positive between KET and ICF (0.17, posterior standard deviation = 0.22). Genetic correlations between UFA, MUFA, and C18:0 with ICF ranged from 0.34 to 0.46 (standard error = 0.12). In single-step GWAS, we identified a large proportion of overlapping genomic regions for the different FA, especially for UFA and MUFA, and for saturated and palmitic FA. One identical significantly associated SNP was identified for C18:0 and KET on BTA 15. However, there was no genomic segment simultaneously significantly affecting all trait categories ICF, FA, and KET. Nevertheless, some of the annotated potential candidate genes DGKA, IGFBP4, and CXCL8 play a role in lipid metabolism and fertility mechanisms, and influence production diseases in early lactation. Genetic and genomic associations indicate that Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy FA concentrations in milk from the first official test-day are valuable predictors for KET and for ICF.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze time-lagged heat stress (HS) effects during late gestation on genetic co(variance) components in dairy cattle across generations for production, female fertility, and health traits. The data set for production and female fertility traits considered 162,492 Holstein Friesian cows from calving years 2003 to 2012, kept in medium-sized family farms. The health data set included 69,986 cows from calving years 2008 to 2016, kept in participating large-scale co-operator herds. Production traits were milk yield (MKG), fat percentage (fat%), and somatic cell score (SCS) from the first official test-day in first lactation. Female fertility traits were the nonreturn rate after 56 d (NRR56) in heifers and the interval from calving to first insemination (ICFI) in first-parity cows. Health traits included clinical mastitis (MAST), digital dermatitis (DD), and endometritis (EM) in the early lactation period in first-parity cows. Meteorological data included temperature and humidity from public weather stations in closest herd distance. The HS indicator was the temperature-humidity index (THI) during dams' late gestation, also defined as in utero HS. For the genetic analyses of production, female fertility, and health traits in the offspring generation, a sire-maternal grandsire random regression model with Legendre polynomials of order 3 for the production and of order 2 for the fertility and health traits on prenatal THI, was applied. All statistical models additionally considered a random maternal effect. THI from late gestation (i.e., prenatal climate conditions), influenced genetic parameter estimates in the offspring generation. For MKG, heritabilities and additive genetic variances decreased in a wave-like pattern with increasing THI. Especially for THI >58, the decrease was very obvious with a minimal heritability of 0.08. For fat% and SCS, heritabilities increased slightly subjected to prenatal HS conditions at THI >67. The ICFI heritabilities differed marginally across THI [heritability (h2) = 0.02-0.04]. For NRR56, MAST, and DD, curves for heritabilities and genetic variances were U-shaped, with largest estimates at the extreme ends of the THI scale. For EM, heritability increased from THI 25 (h2 = 0.13) to THI 71 (h2 = 0.39). The trait-specific alterations of genetic parameters along the THI gradient indicate pronounced genetic differentiation due to intrauterine HS for NRR56, MAST, DD, and EM, but decreasing genetic variation for MKG and ICFI. Genetic correlations smaller than 0.80 for NRR56, MAST, DD, and EM between THI 65 with corresponding traits at remaining THI indicated genotype by environment interactions. The lowest genetic correlations were identified when considering the most distant THI. For MKG, fat%, SCS, and ICFI, genetic correlations throughout were larger than 0.80, disproving concerns for any genotype by environment interactions. Variations in genetic (co)variance components across prenatal THI may be due to epigenetic modifications in the offspring genome, triggered by in utero HS. Epigenetic modifications have a persistent effect on phenotypic responses, even for traits recorded late in life. However, it is imperative to infer the underlying epigenetic mechanisms in ongoing molecular experiments.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to evaluate the anti-adiposity effect of heat-killed Lactobacillus brevis KB290 originating from traditional Japanese fermented pickles in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). METHODS AND RESULTS C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal-fat diet, HFD or HFD supplemented with heat-killed KB290 for 8 weeks. Epididymal and renal adipose tissue weights, as well as areas of epididymal adipocytes, were significantly lower in the mice fed a HFD supplemented with KB290 than in those fed an unsupplemented HFD. Mice whose diets were supplemented with KB290 had elevated adiponectin and β3-adrenergic receptor expression in epididymal adipose tissue and an accompanying higher serum free fatty acid level. Furthermore, the HFD-induced elevations in serum glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR were significantly suppressed by dietary supplementation with KB290. Amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA genes revealed that KB290 ingestion altered the composition of the intestinal microbiota. CONCLUSIONS Heat-killed L. brevis KB290 suppressed diet-induced visceral fat accumulation and ameliorated diet-induced metabolic symptoms and intestinal gut microbiota modifications, suggesting possibility of novel paraprobiotic. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Heat-killed L. brevis KB290 is useable as a material to develop functional foods that attenuate visceral fat accumulation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was the evaluation of climate sensitivity via genomic reaction norm models [i.e., to infer cow milk production and milk fatty acid (FA) responses on temperature-humidity index (THI) alterations]. Test-day milk traits were recorded between 2010 and 2016 from 5,257 first-lactation genotyped Holstein dairy cows. The cows were kept in 16 large-scale cooperator herds, being daughters of 344 genotyped sires. The longitudinal data consisted of 47,789 test-day records for the production traits milk yield (MY), fat yield (FY), and protein yield (PY), and of 20,742 test-day records for 6 FA including C16:0, C18:0, saturated fatty acids (SFA), unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). After quality control of the genotypic data, 41,057 SNP markers remained for genomic analyses. Meteorological data from the weather station in closest herd distance were used for the calculation of maximum hourly daily THI. Genomic reaction norm models were applied to estimate genetic parameters in a single-step approach for production traits and FA in dependency of THI at different lactation stages, and to evaluate the model stability. In a first evaluation strategy (New_sire), all phenotypic records from daughters of genotyped sires born after 2010 were masked, to mimic a validation population. In the second strategy (New_env), only daughter records of the new sires recorded in the most extreme THI classes were masked, aiming at predicting sire genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) under heat stress conditions. Model stability was the correlation between GEBV of the new sires in the reduced data set with respective GEBV estimated from all phenotypic data. Among all test-day production traits, PY responded as the most sensitive to heat stress. As observed for the remaining production traits, genetic variances were quite stable across THI, but genetic correlations between PY from temperate climates with PY from extreme THI classes dropped to 0.68. Genetic variances in dependency of THI were very similar for C16:0 and SFA, indicating marginal climatic sensitivity. In the early lactation stage, genetic variances for C18:0, MUFA, PUFA, and UFA were significantly larger in the extreme THI classes compared with the estimates under thermoneutral conditions. For C18:0 and MUFA, PUFA, and UFA in the middle THI classes, genetic correlations in same traits from the early and the later lactation stages were lower than 0.50, indicating strong days in milk influence. Interestingly, within lactation stages, genetic correlations for C18:0 and UFA recorded at low and high THI were quite large, indicating similar genetic mechanisms under stress conditions. The model stability was improved when applying the New_env instead of New_sire strategy, especially for FA in the first stage of lactation. Results indicate moderately accurate genomic predictions for milk traits in extreme THI classes when considering phenotypic data from a broad range of remaining THI. Phenotypically, thermal stress conditions contributed to an increase of UFA, suggesting value as a heat stress biomarker. Furthermore, the quite large genetic variances for UFA at high THI suggest the consideration of UFA in selection strategies for improved heat stress resistance.

Abstract
In sheep production, economic efficiency strongly depends on the maternal health and feed efficiency status and on weaning performances of their offspring. Accordingly, an optimal level for the supply with macro- and microelements and the ewe energy status has impact on the fetal development during gestation and on maternal milk production during lactation. Furthermore, this study addressed intergenerational aspects, i.e., on associations between maternal energy metabolism profiles considering the macro- and microelement status, metabolic indicators (e.g. β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)), body condition and methane (CH4) emissions with lamb BW (LBW) in two sheep breeds. Traits were recorded at the beginning of gestation (ewe traits), at lambing, three weeks postpartum, and at weaning (ewe and lamb traits). Trait recording included CH4 emissions (recorded via laser methane detector (LMD)), ewe BW (EBW), backfat thickness (BFT), and body condition score (BCS) from 46 ewes (24 Merinoland- (ML), 22 Rhönsheep (RH)), and LBW of their 87 (35 ML, 52 RH) purebred lambs. Serum levels of the following ewe blood parameters were determined: calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), potassium (K), phosphate (P), nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), BHB, glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and magnesium (Mg). Mixed models were applied to infer associations between ewe blood parameters with EBW, BFT, BCS, and CH4 and with LBW recorded in offspring. At weaning, a maternal serum Mg level > 1.0 mmol/L was significantly associated with an increase of 13% in LBW in ML, compared to offspring from ML ewes with a serum Mg concentration within the lower reference range (0.8 mmol/L). Furthermore, higher Cu levels were favorably associated with ewe BCS and BFT at weaning in both breeds. In RH ewes, a Se level > 2.4 μmol/l was significantly associated with increased BCS. In the ML breed, high Zn levels during lactation were associated with reduced CH4 emissions. Ewe EBW was significantly larger for ML ewes representing low Ca levels. A low BHB level was associated with decreasing CH4 emissions in RH and ML. Serum levels for Na, K, P, GLDH, and Fe did not significantly affect the traits of interest. Trait associations from the present study indicate the importance of the mineral supply and metabolic status of the ewe with regard to body condition, CH4 emissions, and LBW development, but depending on the breed. Identified associations might contribute to energy efficiency in sheep production systems.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to prove genotype by environment interactions (G × E) for production, longevity, and health traits considering conventional and organic German Holstein dairy cattle subpopulations. The full data set included 141,778 Holstein cows from 57 conventional herds and 7,915 cows from 9 organic herds. The analyzed traits were first-lactation milk yield and fat percentage (FP), the length of productive life (LPL) and the health traits mastitis, ovarian cycle disorders, and digital dermatitis in first lactation. A subset of phenotyped cows was genotyped and used for the implementation of separate cow reference populations. After SNP quality controls, the cow reference sets considered 40,830 SNP from 19,700 conventional cows and the same 40,830 SNP from 1,282 organic cows. The proof of possible G × E was made via multiple-trait model applications, considering same traits from the conventional and organic population as different traits. In this regard, pedigree (A), genomic (G) and combined relationship (H) matrices were constructed. For the production traits, heritabilities were very similar in both organic and conventional populations (i.e., close to 0.70 for FP and close to 0.40 for milk yield). For low heritability health traits and LPL, stronger heritability fluctuations were observed, especially for digital dermatitis with 0.05 ± 0.01 (organic, A matrix) to 0.33 ± 0.04 (conventional, G matrix). Quite large genetic correlations between same traits from the 2 environments were estimated for production traits, especially for high heritability FP. For LPL, the genetic correlation was 0.67 (A matrix) and 0.66 (H matrix). The genetic correlation between LPL organic with LPL conventional was 0.94 when considering the G matrix, but only 213 genotyped cows were included. For health traits, genetic correlations were throughout lower than 0.80, indicating possible G × E. Genetic correlations from the different matrices A, G, and H for health and production traits followed the same pattern, but the estimates from G for health traits were associated with quite large standard errors. In genome-wide association studies, significantly associated SNP for production traits overlapped in the conventional and organic population. In contrast, for low heritability LPL and health traits, significantly associated SNP and annotated potential candidate genes differed in both populations. In this regard, significantly associated SNP for mastitis from conventional cows were located on Bos taurus autosomes 6 and 19, but on Bos taurus autosomes 1, 10, and 22 in the organic population. For the remaining health traits and LPL, different potential candidate genes were annotated, but the different genes reflect similar physiological pathways. We found evidence of G × E for low heritability functional traits, suggesting different breeding approaches in organic and conventional populations. Nevertheless, for a verification of results and implementation of alternative breeding strategies, it is imperative to increase the organic cow reference population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SND1-IT1 in accelerating the proliferative and migratory abilities of osteosarcoma (OS) via sponging miRNA-665 to upregulate POU2F1. PATIENTS AND METHODS The relative level of SND1-IT1 in OS tissues was determined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The target gene of SND1-IT1 was predicted by bioinformatics and verified by Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay. Similarly, the target gene of miRNA-665 was identified. Correlation among SND1-IT1, miRNA-665 and POU2F1 was evaluated through linear regression test. Regulatory effects of SND1-IT1/miRNA-665/POU2F1 on cellular behaviors of MG63 and U2OS cells were evaluated. RESULTS SND1-IT1 was upregulated in OS, knockdown of which attenuated proliferative and migratory abilities of OS cells. MiRNA-665 was the target gene of SND1-IT1, which was negatively correlated to SND1-IT1 in OS. POU2F1 was the target gene of miRNA-665. Its level was negatively regulated by miRNA-665 and positively regulated by SND1-IT1. Inhibited proliferative and migratory abilities of OS cells with SND1-IT1 knockdown were partially elevated by transfection of miRNA-665 inhibitor, and further downregulated by POU2F1 knockdown. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA SND1-IT1 accelerates proliferative and migratory abilities of OS via sponging miRNA-665 to upregulate POU2F1, thus stimulating the progression of OS.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum Shinshu N-07 (N07) and Lactobacillus curvatus #4G2 (#4G2) were isolated from fermented Brassica rapa L. and selected as promising probiotics with anti-adiposity activities based on in vitro assays. The anti-adiposity effects of these two strains were investigated using a diet-induced obesity animal model. Epididymal adipose tissue weight and adipocyte area were significantly lower and serum triglycerides and glucose tended to be lower in mice fed the high-fat diet supplemented with N07 compared with those fed the unsupplemented high-fat diet. Strain N07 suppressed hepatic steatosis, with accompanying downregulation of lipogenic genes in the liver. Expression of inflammatory cytokines and macrophage infiltration markers tended to be suppressed by N07 supplementation. Upregulation of uncoupling protein-1 in epididymal adipose tissue by N07 suggested that the transformation of white adipose tissue to brown might have been induced. Intestinal microbiota analysis revealed that a decrease in abundance of family S24-7 (phylum Bacteroidetes) following ingestion of the high-fat diet was partly recovered by supplementation with N07. Changes in those parameters were not observed in mice fed the high-fat diet supplemented with strain #4G2, suggesting strain specificities. Thus, N07 is a potential probiotic strain that could be used to develop functional foods that attenuate visceral fat accumulation after an appropriate human intervention trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether vaginal secretions and breast milk of women with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) contain severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). DESIGN Single centre cohort study. SETTING Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei province, China. POPULATION We studied 13 SARS-CoV-2-infected pregnant women diagnosed between 31 January and 9 March 2020. METHODS We collected clinical data, vaginal secretions, stool specimens and breast milk from SARS-CoV-2-infected women during different stages of pregnancy and collected neonatal throat and anal swabs. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES We assessed viral presence in different biosamples. RESULTS Of the 13 women with COVID-19, five were in their first trimester, three in their second trimester and five in their third trimester. Of the five women in their third trimester who gave birth, all delivered live newborns. Among these five deliveries, the primary adverse perinatal outcomes included premature delivery (n = 2) and neonatal pneumonia (n = 2). One of nine stool samples was positive; all 13 vaginal secretion samples, and five throat swabs and four anal swabs collected from neonates, were negative for the novel coronavirus. However, one of three samples of breast milk was positive by viral nucleic acid testing. CONCLUSIONS In this case series of 13 pregnant women with COVID-19, we observed negative viral test results in vaginal secretion specimens, suggesting that a vaginal delivery may be a safe delivery option. However, additional research is urgently needed to examine breast milk and the potential risk for viral contamination. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT New evidence for the safety of vaginal delivery and breastfeeding in pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2, positive viral result in a breast-milk sample.

Abstract
Availability of longitudinal body weight (BW) records allows the application of nonlinear models (NLINM) to predict phenotypic and genomic growth curves in dairy cattle. In this regard, we considered a data set including 31,722 BW records from 4,952 female Holstein cattle, during the period from birth (mo 0) to approximately age at first calving (mo 24). Parameters of the growth curves were estimated using 3 NLINM: the logistic (LOG), the Gompertz (GOM), and the Richards (RICH) functions. Residuals for the growth curve parameters from the NLINM applications were used as pseudo-phenotypes in the ongoing genomic analyses with different similarity matrices, including 2 genomic relationship matrices (G1 and G2), a combined pedigree and genomic relationship matrix (H), and 3 kernel matrices. The kernels were a weighted "alike by state" kernel function (K1), an exponential dissimilarity kernel (K2), and a Gaussian kernel (K3). On the basis of G1 and G2 matrices, genomic heritabilities for the growth curve parameters birth weight (W0), mature weight (Wm), and growth rate (k), and the shape parameter (m; only available from RICH) were moderate to large, in the range from 0.29 (m from RICH) to 0.46 (k from RICH). Fitting the similarity matrices based on kernel functions contributed to an increase of the ratio of the variance explained by the similarity matrix in relation to the total variance (compared with the heritability when modeling G1 or G2). Genetic correlations between W0, Wm, and k were always positive (>0.30), especially for the same growth curve parameters estimated from different NLINM (>0.90). The shape parameter m from RICH was negatively correlated with other growth curve parameters, from -0.29 to -0.95. In a next step, estimated genomic breeding values for growth curve parameters were input data for the respective NLINM, aiming to construct genomic growth curves. Prediction accuracies were correlations between genomic growth curves and genomic breeding values from random regression models for sires and female cattle. Considering all genotyped female cattle with pseudo-phenotypes, prediction accuracies were larger from RICH than from LOG and GOM. However, differences in prediction accuracies from the NLINM × similarity matrix combinations were quite small. Accordingly, in 5-fold cross-validations using heifer groups with masked phenotypes, very similar prediction accuracies across modeling approaches were identified. Especially for specific age months, genomic growth curve predictions were more accurate for sires than for female cattle, indicating that the relationships between animals in training and validation sets are more important than the selection of specific NLINM × similarity matrix combinations.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to detect selection signatures considering cows from the German Holstein (GH) and the local dual-purpose black and white (DSN) population, as well as from generated sub-populations. The 4654 GH and 261 DSN cows were genotyped with the BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip. The geographical herd location was used as an environmental descriptor to create the East-DSN and West-DSN sub-populations. In addition, two further sub-populations of GH cows were generated, using the extreme values for solutions of residual effects of cows for the claw disorder dermatitis digitalis. These groups represented the most susceptible and most resistant cows. We used cross-population extended haplotype homozygosity methodology (XP-EHH) to identify the most recent selection signatures. Furthermore, we calculated Wright's fixation index (FST ). Chromosomal segments for the top 0.1 percentile of negative or positive XP-EHH scores were studied in detail. For gene annotations, we used the Ensembl database and we considered a window of 250 kbp downstream and upstream of each core SNP corresponding to peaks of XP-EHH. In addition, functional interactions among potential candidate genes were inferred via gene network analyses. The most outstanding XP-EHH score was on chromosome 12 (at 77.34 Mb) for DSN and on chromosome 20 (at 36.29-38.42 Mb) for GH. Selection signature locations harbored QTL for several economically important milk and meat quality traits, reflecting the different breeding goals for GH and DSN. The average FST value between GH and DSN was quite low (0.068), indicating shared founders. For group stratifications according to cow health, several identified potential candidate genes influence disease resistance, especially to dermatitis digitalis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the changes of surgical invitations on necrotizing pancreatitis in recent 14 years by reviewing single center data. Methods: One thousand and eighty patients with necrotizing pancreatitis who received surgical invitation were involved in the study.All the patients were treated at Department of Pancreatic Surgery,Union Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2005 to December 2018. Six hundred and seventy-eight were males and 402 were females. The median (range) age of the study patients was 45 (20-76) years.The etiology of the disease was related to cholelithiasis in 335 cases(31.02%), hyperlipemia in 302 cases(27.96%), alcohol in 226 cases(20.93%), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in 28 cases(2.59%), pregnancy in 50 cases(4.63%), idiopathic factors in 72 cases(6.67%) and other causes in 67 cases(6.20%). The patients were divided into two groups according to the time of admission. Group 1 included 1 475 patients that admitted from January 2005 to December 2010, and group 2 included 1 539 patients that admitted from January 2011 to December 2018. The surgical interventions, morbidity and mortality of the two group were compared, and χ(2) test was used for the statistical test. Results: Two hundred and sixty-six among the 1 080 cases were treated with drainage procedures because of the pseudocyst.One hundred and seventy-five drainage procedures were performed between January 2005 and December 2018, which account for 11.87%(175 /1 475) of all patients of necrotizing pancreatitis; 91 drainage procedures were performed between January 2011 and December 2018,which account for 5.91%(91/1 539) of all patients of necrotizing pancreatitis. Eight hundred and fourteen cases received surgical intervention for infection of necrotizing tissues. Of these cases, 410 cases received percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD) of retroperitoneal fluid or residual infection. Debridement of necrotic tissues was performed on 756 cases. Of these cases, 32 cases received minimal invasive retroperitoneal debridement with/without denotes video assistant,4 cases received transluminal endoscopic debridement, 21 cases received laparoscopic debridement, and 709 cases received open laparotic debridement.Three hundred and sixty-five cases were admitted to our institute during January 2005 to December 2010, and the other 391 cases were admitted to our institute from January 2011 to December 2018. Of the first period, all debridement were performed with open laparotic procedures. Of the second period,debridement were performed with open laparotic procedures and minimal invasive procedures. The average times of surgical invasion, morbidity of principal local complications and mortality of the two periods were 1.27 and 1.34,28.22%(103/365) and 29.92%(117/346),and 6.03%(23/365) and 6.91%(27/346), respectively. Conclusions: Minimal invasive procedures can be considered for debridement in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis in some selected conditions.The involvements of minimal invasive procedures in treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis don't decrease the morbidity of principal local complications and mortality in recent years. Rational surgical procedures and appropriate surgical timing are the keys to improve the efficacy of necrotizing pancreatitis.

Abstract
Necrotizing pancreatitis is a complicated disease with multiple clinical outcomes. Although it's hard to select appropriate treatment strategies, it's still an important branch in improving the curative effect. The pathology and outcome of local complications of necrotizing pancreatitis show great diversity and individualized differences in different patients and stages of pathogenesis. Currently, a variety of treatment strategies for local complications of necrotizing pancreatitis, including minimally invasive treatment and laparotomy, can be selected. Removal of infected and necrotic tissues and adequate drainage of peripancreatic effusion are the basic principles. In clinical practice, minimally invasive and laparotomy strategies should be dialectically implemented according to the specific conditions and indications of patients. And we should avoid unilaterally emphasizing one method over the other or invariably using one method to deal with all patients' conditions. Clinical practice has proved that the choice of operation time is more decisive than the selection of debridement method to the success of treatment for local complications of necrotizing pancreatitis. As long as the operation time is appropriate, any debridement method can achieve good results. Therefore, we should avoid the overemphasis on debridement method, and ignore the significance of operation time for patients. In clinical practice, we are supposed to attach importance to the timing of intervention and selection of intervention methods according to the specific conditions of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is an acute severe hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidity and mortality with poor prognosis. OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the changes of cerebral venous circulation in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Totally, 57 patients with aSAH, 48 patients with unruptured aneurysms, and 45 patients without aneurysms (control group) were enrolled. The microvascular cerebral circulation time (mCCT), venous cerebral circulation time (vCCT), cerebral arterioles and cortical veins were analyzed by DSA. RESULTS There were changes of cerebral microvessels and cortical veins in patients with aSAH. The mCCT (6.15±1.37 s) and vCCT (2.79±0.34 s) of aSAH patients significantly increased compared with control patients (3.74±0.50 s; 2.64±0.32 s) (P < 0.05). However, the mCCT increased more compared with vCCT in aSAH patients (P < 0.001), while the vCCT increased more compared with mCCT in severe aSAH cases (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in mCCT and vCCT between patients with unruptured aneurysms and controls (P = 0.131; P = 0.621). CONCLUSIONS The mCCT increases in acute aSAH patients within 72 hours and vCCT increases in severe aSAH cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular network formation induced by angiogenesis plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. However, the role of blood flow and underlying mechanisms in vascular network formation, for example for the development of the caudal vein plexus (CVP), is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the role of ERK5-klf2a-nos2b signaling in the CVP angiogenesis. METHOD AND RESULTS In this study on tnnt2a-MO injection and chemical blood flow modulator treatment in zebrafish embryos, we demonstrated that decreased blood flow disrupted CVP formation. The hemodynamic force was quantitatively analyzed. Furthermore, CVP angiogenesis in zebrafish embryos was inhibited by disruption of the blood flow downstream effectors ERK5, klf2a, and nos2b in response to treatment with the ERK5 specific inhibitor and to injection of klf2a-MO, nos2b-MO. Overexpression of klf2a mRNA or nos2b mRNA restored vascular defects in tnnt2a or klf2a morphants. The data suggest that flow-induced ERK5-klf2a-nos2b signaling is involved in CVP angiogenesis in zebrafish embryos. CONCLUSION We have demonstrated that blood flow is essential for vascular network formation, specifically for CVP angiogenesis in zebrafish. A novel genetic and mechanical mechanism was discovered in which ERK5 facilitates the integration of blood flow with the downstream klf2a-nos2b signaling for CVP angiogenesis.

Abstract
Background Rho guanine exchange factors (RhoGEFs) control cellular processes such as migration, adhesion and proliferation. Alternative splicing of the RhoGEF Trio produces TGAT. The RhoGEF TGAT is an oncoprotein with constitutive RhoGEF activity. We investigated whether the subcellular location of TGAT is critical for its RhoGEF activity. Methods Since plasma membrane associated RhoGEFs are particularly effective at activating RhoA, plasma membrane localization of TGAT was examined. To this end, we developed a highly sensitive image analysis method to quantitatively measure plasma membrane association. The method requires a cytoplasmic marker and a plasma membrane marker, which are co-imaged with the tagged protein of interest. Linear unmixing is performed to determine the plasma membrane and cytoplasmic component in the fluorescence signal of protein of interest. Results The analysis revealed that wild-type TGAT is partially co-localized with the plasma membrane. Strikingly, cysteine TGAT-mutants lacking one or more putative palmitoylation sites in the C-tail, still showed membrane association. In contrast, a truncated variant, lacking the last 15 amino acids, TGATΔ15, lost membrane association. We show that membrane localization of TGAT was responsible for high RhoGEF activity by using a RhoA FRET-sensor and by determining F-actin levels. Mutants of TGAT that still maintained membrane association showed similar activity as wild-type TGAT. In contrast, the activity was abrogated for the cytoplasmic TGATΔ15 variant. Synthetic recruitment of TGATΔ15 to membranes confirmed that TGAT effectively activates RhoA at the plasma membrane. Conclusion Together, these results show that membrane association of TGAT is critical for its activity.

Abstract
Holstein Friesian cow training sets were created according to disease incidences. The different datasets were used to investigate the impact of random forest (RF) and genomic BLUP (GBLUP) methodology on genomic prediction accuracies. In addition, for further verifications of some specific scenarios, single-step genomic BLUP was applied. Disease traits included the overall trait categories of (i) claw disorders, (ii) clinical mastitis and (iii) infertility from 80 741 first lactation Holstein cows kept in 58 large-scale herds. A subset of 6744 cows was genotyped (50K SNP panel). Response variables for all scenarios were de-regressed proofs (DRPs) and pre-corrected phenotypes (PCPs). Initially, all sick cows were allocated to the testing set, and healthy cows represented the training set. For the ongoing cow allocation schemes, the number of sick cows in the training set increased stepwise by moving 10% of the sick cows from the testing to the training set in each step. The size of training and testing sets was kept constant by replacing the same number of cows in the testing set with (randomly selected) healthy cows from the training set. For both the RF and GBLUP methods, prediction accuracies were larger for DRPs compared to PCPs. For PCPs as a response variable, the largest prediction accuracies were observed when the disease incidences in training sets reflected the disease incidence in the whole population. A further increase in prediction accuracies for some selected cow allocation schemes (i.e. larger prediction accuracies compared to corresponding scenarios with RF or GBLUB) was achieved via single-step GBLUP applications. Correlations between genome-wide association study SNP effects and RF importance criteria for single SNPs were in a moderate range, from 0.42 to 0.57, when considering SNPs from all chromosomes or from specific chromosome segments. RF identified significant SNPs close to potential positional candidate genes: GAS1, GPAT3 and CYP2R1 for clinical mastitis; SPINK5 and SLC26A2 for laminitis; and FGF12 for endometritis.

Abstract
Host genetic architecture is a major factor in resistance to pathogens and parasites. The collection and analysis of sufficient data on both disease resistance and host genetics has, however, been a major obstacle to dissection the genetics of resistance to single or multiple pathogens. A severe challenge in the estimation of heritabilities and genetic correlations from pedigree-based studies has been the confounding effects of the common environment shared among relatives which are difficult to model in pedigree analyses, especially for health traits with low incidence rates. To circumvent this problem we used genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism data and implemented the Genomic-Restricted Maximum Likelihood (G-REML) method to estimate the heritabilities and genetic correlations for resistance to 23 different infectious pathogens in calves and cows in populations undergoing natural pathogen challenge. Furthermore, we conducted gene-based analysis and generalized gene-set analysis to understand the biological background of resistance to infectious diseases. The results showed relatively higher heritabilities of resistance in calves than in cows and significant pleiotropy (both positive and negative) among some calf and cow resistance traits. We also found significant pleiotropy between resistance and performance in both calves and cows. Finally, we confirmed the role of the B-lymphocyte pathway as one of the most important biological pathways associated with resistance to all pathogens. These results both illustrate the potential power of these approaches to illuminate the genetics of pathogen resistance in cattle and provide foundational information for future genomic selection aimed at improving the overall production fitness of cattle.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to quantitatively diagnose and monitor the therapy response of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) with the use of targeted ultrasound (US) imaging. Targeted microbubbles (MBs) were fabricated, and the binding of intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) antibodies to MBs was observed. To establish a quantitative method based on targeted US imaging, contrast-enhanced US was applied for IRI rats. After andrographolide treatment, the IRI rats were subjected to the quantitative targeted US imaging for a therapeutic effect. Effective binding of ICAM-1 antibodies to MBs was observed. According to the quantitative targeted US imaging, the ICAM-1 normalized intensity difference (NID) in the IRI rats (38.74 ± 15.08%) was significantly higher than that in the control rats (10.08 ± 2.52%, p = 0.048). Further, different degrees of IRI (mild IRI, moderate to severe IRI) were distinguished by the use of the NID (37.14 ± 2.14%, 22.34 ± 1.08%, p = 0.002). Analysis of mRNA expression demonstrated the accuracy of analyzing the NID by using quantitative targeted US imaging (R2 = 0.7434, p < 0.001). Andrographolide treatment resulted in an obviously weakened NID of ICAM-1 (17.7 ± 4.8% vs 34.2 ± 6.6%, p < 0.001). The study showed the potential of the quantitative targeted US imaging method for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of IRI.

Abstract
KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations are among the most important oncogenic drivers in many major cancer types, such as melanoma, lung, colorectal and pancreatic cancer. There is currently no effective therapy for the treatment of RAS mutant cancers. LY3009120, a pan-RAF and RAF dimer inhibitor advanced to clinical study has been shown to inhibit both RAS and BRAF mutant cell proliferation in vitro and xenograft tumor growth in vivo. Abemaciclib, a CDK4/6-selective inhibitor, is currently in phase III studies for ER-positive breast cancer and KRAS mutant lung cancer. In this study, we found that combinatory treatment with LY3009120 and abemaciclib synergistically inhibited proliferation of tumor cells in vitro and led to tumor growth regression in xenograft models with a KRAS, NRAS or BRAF mutation at the doses of two drugs that were well tolerated in combination. Further in vitro screen in 328 tumor cell lines revealed that tumor cells with KRAS, NRAS or BRAF mutation, or cyclin D activation are more sensitive, whereas tumor cells with PTEN, PIK3CA, PIK3R1 or retinoblastoma (Rb) mutation are more resistant to this combination treatment. Molecular analysis revealed that abemaciclib alone inhibited Rb phosphorylation partially and caused an increase of cyclin D1. The combinatory treatment cooperatively demonstrated more complete inhibition of Rb phosphorylation, and LY3009120 suppressed the cyclin D1 upregulation mediated by abemaciclib. These results were further verified by CDK4/6 siRNA knockdown. Importantly, the more complete phospho-Rb inhibition and cyclin D1 suppression by LY3009120 and abemaciclib combination led to more significant cell cycle G0/G1 arrest of tumor cells. These preclinical findings suggest that combined inhibition of RAF and d-cyclin-dependent kinases might provide an effective approach to treat patients with tumors harboring mutations in RAS or RAF genes.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the treatment efficacy and potential complications of computed tomography (CT)-guided microwave ablation for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were collected and analysed from 220 HCC patients treated with CT-guided microwave ablation and followed up for 2 years. Independent risk factors for overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) were analysed. RESULTS Among all cases followed, the cumulative overall survival rates at 1 and 2 years were 95.45% and 89.09%. The cumulative 1- and 2-year PFS rates were 80.90% and 62.73%. For patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) class C (n=60), the cumulative 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 89.09% and 74.54%. In this group, patients with tumour invasion of blood vessels or tumour-related symptoms suffered a worse overall survival compared to those without (p=0.011). No fatal complications were observed. Child-Pugh score (p=0.030) and BCLC class (p=0.012) were independent risk factors for overall survival. The number of tumour nodules was an independent risk factor for reoccurrence. CONCLUSION CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation could be an effective and safe treatment option for HCC patients.

Abstract
A simulation study was conducted to investigate the performance of random forest (RF) and genomic BLUP (GBLUP) for genomic predictions of binary disease traits based on cow calibration groups. Training and testing sets were modified in different scenarios according to disease incidence, the quantitative-genetic background of the trait (h(2)=0.30 and h(2)=0.10), and the genomic architecture [725 quantitative trait loci (QTL) and 290 QTL, populations with high and low levels of linkage disequilibrium (LD)]. For all scenarios, 10,005 SNP (depicting a low-density 10K SNP chip) and 50,025 SNP (depicting a 50K SNP chip) were evenly spaced along 29 chromosomes. Training and testing sets included 20,000 cows (4,000 sick, 16,000 healthy, disease incidence 20%) from the last 2 generations. Initially, 4,000 sick cows were assigned to the testing set, and the remaining 16,000 healthy cows represented the training set. In the ongoing allocation schemes, the number of sick cows in the training set increased stepwise by moving 10% of the sick animals from the testing set to the training set, and vice versa. The size of the training and testing sets was kept constant. Evaluation criteria for both GBLUP and RF were the correlations between genomic breeding values and true breeding values (prediction accuracy), and the area under the receiving operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Prediction accuracy and AUROC increased for both methods and all scenarios as increasing percentages of sick cows were allocated to the training set. Highest prediction accuracies were observed for disease incidences in training sets that reflected the population disease incidence of 0.20. For this allocation scheme, the largest prediction accuracies of 0.53 for RF and of 0.51 for GBLUP, and the largest AUROC of 0.66 for RF and of 0.64 for GBLUP, were achieved using 50,025 SNP, a heritability of 0.30, and 725 QTL. Heritability decreases from 0.30 to 0.10 and QTL reduction from 725 to 290 were associated with decreasing prediction accuracy and decreasing AUROC for all scenarios. This decrease was more pronounced for RF. Also, the increase of LD had stronger effect on RF results than on GBLUP results. The highest prediction accuracy from the low LD scenario was 0.30 from RF and 0.36 from GBLUP, and increased to 0.39 for both methods in the high LD population. Random forest successfully identified important SNP in close map distance to QTL explaining a high proportion of the phenotypic trait variations.

Abstract
The clinical characteristics of patients with colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteraemia have been documented, but those of patients with bacteraemia caused by other Acinetobacter species remain unknown. Previous exposure to colistin has been shown to be associated with the emergence of colistin resistance, but may be not the only predisposing factor. In the current study, we highlight the risk and outcome of patients without previous exposure to colistin who acquired colistin-resistant Acinetobacter nosocomialis (ColRAN) bacteraemia. This 11-year single-centre retrospective study analysed 58 patients with ColRAN bacteraemia and 213 patients with colistin-susceptible A. nosocomialis (ColSAN) bacteraemia. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined with an agar dilution method. The clonal relationship of ColRAN isolates was determined with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. A conjugation mating-out assay was conducted to delineate the potential transfer of colistin resistance genes. Multivariable analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors for ColRAN bacteraemia. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was independently associated with ColRAN bacteraemia (OR 3.04; 95% CI 1.45-6.37; p 0.003). Patients with ColRAN bacteraemia had higher APACHE II scores, but the two groups showed no significant differences in 14-day mortality (10.3% vs. 10.3%) or 28-day mortality (15.5% vs. 15.0%). ColRAN isolates had greater resistance than ColSAN isolates to all antimicrobial agents except for ciprofloxacin (0% vs. 6.6%). There were 16 different ColRAN pulsotypes, and two major clones were found. Colistin resistance did not transfer to colistin-susceptible A. baumannii or A. nosocomialis. These results show that COPD is an independent risk factor for acquisition of ColRAN bacteraemia. The mortality rates were similar between patients with ColRAN and ColSAN bacteraemia.
