Abstract
BACKGROUND LncRNAs regulate tumorigenesis and development in a variety of cancers. We substantiate for the first time that LINC00606 is considerably expressed in glioblastoma (GBM) patient specimens and is linked with adverse prognosis. This suggests that LINC00606 may have the potential to regulate glioma genesis and progression, and that the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of LINC00606 in GBM remain largely unknown. METHODS The expression of LINC00606 and ATP11B in glioma and normal brain tissues was evaluated by qPCR, and the biological functions of the LINC00606/miR-486-3p/TCF12/ATP11B axis in GBM were verified through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. The molecular mechanism of LINC00606 was elucidated by immunoblotting, FISH, RNA pulldown, CHIP-qPCR, and a dual-luciferase reporter assay. RESULTS We demonstrated that LINC00606 promotes glioma cell proliferation, clonal expansion and migration, while reducing apoptosis levels. Mechanistically, on the one hand, LINC00606 can sponge miR-486-3p; the target gene TCF12 of miR-486-3p affects the transcriptional initiation of LINC00606, PTEN and KLLN. On the other hand, it can also regulate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to mediate glioma cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis by binding to ATP11B protein. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the LINC00606/miR-486-3p/TCF12/ATP11B axis is involved in the regulation of GBM progression and plays a role in tumor regulation at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels primarily through LINC00606 sponging miR-486-3p and targeted binding to ATP11B. Therefore, our research on the regulatory network LINC00606 could be a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of GBM.

Abstract
Despite the great progress in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), the current standard treatment protocols still have many limitations, and there is an urgent need for more effective biomarkers for personalized patient treatment. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), as a dynamic, non-invasive liquid biopsy approach, overcomes the limitations of tissue biopsy in detecting tumor heterogeneity and molecular evolution. Current evidence from several studies suggests that ctDNA shows great promise in stratifying recurrence risk, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring early recurrence. In addition, ctDNA can improve the efficiency of clinical research and drug development. However, the lack of standardisation of pre-ctDNA test variables and analysis procedures and the high technical costs limit its promotion and development. In this review, we summarize the available evidence on ctDNA in the clinical management of CRC and present its limitations and strategies for improvement.

Abstract
1. Infectious injury caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a metabolite of gram-negative bacteria, can induce stress responses in animals and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in young birds. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with oleanolic acid (OA) on acute liver injury in broiler chickens challenged with LPS.2. In total, 120 broiler chickens were randomly divided into six groups and fed a basal diet containing 0, 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg OA or 100 mg/kg aureomycin. On d 15, broiler chickens were injected with either LPS or an equivalent volume of normal saline. Six hours after LPS injection, two broiler chicks were randomly selected for sampling in each replicate.3. The results indicated that dietary aureomycin was ineffective in alleviating LSP-associated liver injury, but protected broiler chickens from LPS-induced liver damage. This promoted a significant reduction in the levels of malondialdehyde and an increase in the levels of superoxide dismutase in liver. In addition, OA was found to cause significant reductions in the relative expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in broiler liver tissues, whereas the relative expression of IL-10 was significantly increased.4. In conclusion, oleanolic acid can alleviate oxidative stress and injury in the livers of broiler chickens induced by lipopolysaccharide. Consequently, oleanolic acid has potential utility as a novel anti-inflammatory and antioxidant feed additive.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of strategies for minimizing small bowel resection during surgery for pelvic radiation-induced terminal small intestinal stenosis in preventing postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage and short bowel syndrome. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. There are two subtypes of chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) with combined intestinal stenosis and intestinal obstruction: (1) Type I: terminal ileal lesions with a normal ileal segment of 2-20 cm between the ileal lesion and ileocecal junction; and (2) Type II: the lesion is located in the small bowel at a distance from the ileocecal region, usually accompanied by extensive damage to the bowel segments outside the lesion. The indications for minimal bowel resection are as follows: (1) diagnosis of Type I small bowel CRE; (2) absence of radiological evidence of rectosigmoid damage; and (3) absence of colonic obstruction. The contraindications are: (1) stenotic, penetrating lesions of the distal cecum; (2) emergency surgery; (3) recurrence of malignant tumor or history of radiotherapy for recurrent malignant tumor; (4) interval between radiotherapy and surgery <6 months; and (5) history of preoperative small bowel resection or abdominal chemotherapy. Case data of 40 patients with Type I CRE who met the above criteria and had undergone minimal bowel resection between April 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed (minimal bowel resection group; including 13 patients from Jinling Hospital, 16 from the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and 11 from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University). Forty patients with Type I CRE who had undergone resection of intestinal stenosis lesions and the ileocecal region between October 2015 and March 2017 were included as historical controls (conventional resection group; all from Jinling Hospital). The specific strategy for minimal bowel resection was one-stage partial ileal resection+ileo anastomosis+protective small bowel stoma. In contrast, conventional resection comprised ileocecal resection+ileocecal-ascending colon anastomosis. Postoperative complications, intraoperative and postoperative recovery, and changes in postoperative quality of life were analyzed in both groups. The severity of postoperative complications was assessed by Clavien-Dindo and the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI). Karnofsky performance scores (KPS) were used to evaluate the quality of life of patients in the two groups preoperatively and postoperatively. The higher the KPS score, the better the quality of life. Results: Baseline patient characteristics did not differ significantly between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the conventional resection group, the length of small bowel resected in the minimal bowel resection group (51 [20-200] cm vs. 91 [60-200] cm, Z=5.653, P<0.001), duration of postoperative total enteral nutrition [9 (3-18) days vs. 12 (4-50) days, Z=2.172, P=0.030], and duration of postoperative hospital stay [17 (9-24) days vs 29 (13-57) days, Z=6.424, P<0.001] were shorter; all of these differences are statistically significant. The overall incidence of postoperative complications was lower in the minimal bowel resection group than in the conventional resection group [20.0% (8/40) vs. 70.0% (28/40), χ2=19.967, P<0.001], These comprised short bowel syndrome [5.0% (2/40) vs. 25.0% (10/40), χ2=6.274, P=0.012], anastomotic leakage or fistula [2.5% (1/40) vs. 22.5% (9/40), χ2=7.314, P=0.014], and pleural effusion [7.5% (3/40) vs. 25.0% (10/40), χ2=4.500, P=0.034], all of which occurred less often in the minimal bowel resection than conventional resection group. The CCI index was also lower in the minimal bowel resection group than in the conventional resection group [CCI>40: 2.5% (1/40) vs. 12.5% (5/40), Z=18.451, P<0.001]. KPS scores were higher in the minimal bowel resection group 1 and 3 months postoperatively than they had been 1 day preoperatively (79.9±4.7 vs. 75.3±4.1, 86.2±4.8 vs. 75.3±4.1, both P<0.05). In the minimal bowel resection group, seven patients were satisfied with their current quality of life and refused to undergo stoma reduction at follow-up and one deferred stoma reduction because of rectal bleeding. The remaining 32 patients underwent stoma reduction 3 to 12 months after surgery, 26 of whom underwent ileo-cecal anastomosis. The remaining six underwent resection of the stoma and anastomosis of the ileum to the ascending colon. Conclusions: The strategy of minimal small bowel resection in patients with radiation-induced bowel injuries reduces the length of resected small bowel, decreases the risk and severity of postoperative complications, and is associated with a better prognosis and quality of life than conventional resection.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is an important predictive imaging marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD). While studies have found positive association between CAC score and cardiac toxicity in irradiated lung and breast cancer patients, there are no studies assessing CAC scores in esophageal cancer (EC). While a cardiac-gated CT is required for standard Agatston CAC score, visual assessment of CAC via ordinal scoring on non-gated CT has shown good concordance with Agatston score. In this study, we sought to examine whether visual assessment of CAC, measured on standard of care, non-contrast chest CT, predicts the development of adverse cardiovascular events (ACVE) in irradiated EC patients. MATERIALS/METHODS This is a single institution retrospective study of EC patients treated with RT from 2010-2021. We included patients with available PET/CT at diagnosis or chest CT simulation scan without contrast, and excluded those with history of percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary bypass surgery, or prior thoracic RT. Pre-treatment characteristics, clinical factors, and grade ≥ 3 (G3+) adverse cardiovascular events (ACVE) (CTCAEv5.0) were evaluated. Visual assessment of CAC was performed using ordinal method (CAC scored from 0 to 12), by a thoracic radiologist. Fine and Gray regression was used to compute hazard ratios for time to first ACVE. Univariate analyses using Cox proportional hazards were used for overall survival (OS). ACVEs were recorded from start of oncologic treatment and OS calculated after completion of RT. RESULTS A total of 118 patients were analyzed with a median follow-up of 16 months. Median age was 67 years, 65% male, 43% white, 59% with EC of distal esophagus, and 59% had squamous cell carcinoma. Median mean heart dose was 21.93 Gy (range 0.15-36.94). 24% developed G3+ ACVEs: atrial fibrillation 9%, stroke 6%, heart failure 4%, pulmonary embolism 4%, pericardial effusion 3%, myocardial infarction 2%, heart block 2%, and cardiac death 1%. On univariate analyses, CAC >1 vs. CAC ≤ 1 trended towards increased risk of ACVE (HR = 1.95, 95% CI = 0.89-4.26; p = 0.094), however it is not predictive of OS (HR = 1.31, 95% CI = 0.75-2.30; p = 0.343). Proportion of patients with ACVEs was greater in CAC>1 group (Table). When compared to patients with CAC ≤ 1, those with CAC >1 were older (median age 62 vs 72 years, p = 0.0015), less likely to be never smokers (38% vs 30%, p = 0.0437), and more likely to have hypertension (43% vs 64%, p = 0.0197), and hyperlipidemia (30% vs 47%, p = 0.0557). CONCLUSION This is the first study to investigate the relationship between CAC score and ACVEs in EC. While the study was underpowered (likely due to low rates of recorded ACVEs), to detect a significant association between CAC score and ACVEs, there was a trend towards increased risk of ACVEs in patients with a CAC score >1 by visual ordinal scoring. Further prospective evaluation with a larger cohort is warranted.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer, as one of the neoplasms with the highest degree of malignancy, has become a main disease of concerns in recent years. BHLHE40, a critical transcription factor for remodeling of the tumor immune microenvironment, has been described to be substantially increased in a variety of tumor-associated immune cells. Nevertheless, the pro-cancer biological functions and underlying molecular mechanisms of BHLHE40 for pancreatic cancer and its unique microenvironment are unclear. Hereby, we investigated the pro-oncogenic role of BHLHE40 in the pancreatic cancer microenvironment by bioinformatics analysis and cell biology experiments and determined that the expression of BHLHE40 was obviously elevated in pancreatic cancer tissues than in adjacent normal tissues. In parallel, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis unveiled that lower expression of BHLHE40 was strongly associated with better prognosis of patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed the accuracy of the BHLHE40-related prediction model. Subsequent, spearman correlation analysis observed that higher expression of BHLHE40 might be involved in immunosuppression of pancreatic cancer. Silencing of BHLHE40 could inhibit proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo, implying that BHLHE40 is expected to be a potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer. In addition, we explored and validated the FGD5-AS1/miR-15a-5p axis as a potential upstream regulatory mode for high expression of BHLHE40 in pancreatic cancer. In summary, our data showed that ceRNA involved in the regulation of BHLHE40 contributes to the promotion of immunosuppressive response in pancreatic and is expected to be a diagnostic marker and potential immunotherapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Previous studies on the relationship between dietary minerals and preeclampsia (PE) have given inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to further clarify the relationship between dietary minerals intake and PE in Chinese pregnant women. In this study, 440 pairs of hospital-based preeclamptic and healthy women were matched 1:1. Dietary intake was obtained through a 78-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Multivariate conditional logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic splines were plotted to evaluate the dose-response relationship between dietary minerals intake and PE. This study found significant inverse associations for dietary intake of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, manganese and zinc and the risk of PE in both univariate and multivariate models (all P- trend < 0.05). After adjusting for possible confounders, compared with the lowest quartile, the odds ratio of the highest quartile was 0.74 (95% CI 0.56-0.98) for calcium, 0.63 (95% CI 0.42-0.93) for magnesium, 0.45 (95% CI 0.31-0.65) for phosphorus, 0.44 (95% CI 0.30-0.65) for iron, 0.72 (95% CI 0.53-0.97) for copper, 0.66 (95% CI 0.48-0.91) for manganese and 0.38 (95% CI 0.25-0.57) for zinc. In addition, a reverse J-shaped relationship between dietary minerals intake and PE risk was observed (P-overall association < 0.05). In Chinese pregnant women, a higher intake of dietary minerals, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc was associated with a lower odds of PE.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test. Methods: This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ (2) test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results: After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea (Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Abstract
BackgroundMany studies have suggested that the serum concentrations of vitamin A (VA) and vitamin E (VE) influence preeclampsia (PE) risk in pregnant women. However, few studies have assessed whether dietary intake and serum concentrations of VA and VE are correlated with PE risk.MethodsA 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted to explore the association between the dietary intake and serum concentrations of VA and VE and the risk of PE in pregnant Chinese women. A total of 440 pregnant women with PE and 440 control pregnant women were included in the study. Dietary information was obtained using a 78-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Serum concentrations of VA and VE were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.ResultsCompared with the lowest quartile, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratios [95% confidence interval (CI)] of the highest quartiles were 0.62 (95% CI: 0.40-0.96, P trend = 0.02) for VA, 0.51 (95% CI: 0.33–0.80, P trend =0.002) for β-carotene, and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.45–1.08, P trend = 0.029) for retinol. Additionally, for serum VA and VE concentrations, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) were 2.75 (95% CI: 1.24–6.13, P trend = 0.002) and 11.97 (95% CI: 4.01–35.77, P trend < 0.001), respectively. No significant association was seen between VE intake and PE risk.ConclusionsDietary VA intake was negatively correlated with PE risk, and serum VA and VE concentrations were positively correlated with PE risk among pregnant Chinese women.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of sudden death on job among workers in the large oil field, and to provide scientific basis for dealing with such incidents. Methods: In April 2021, the medical records of employees who died in a large oilfield from 2014 to 2020, and the occupational health examination data in the first year of life were collected, and 85 employees who died suddenly on duty were included in the study. According to whether the employees are exposed to the occupational disease hazards, they are divided into the injured type of work (66 persons) and the non injured type of work (19 persons) . The characteristics of the clinical data of the sudden death employees are analyzed retrospectively. The gender, age, length of service, type of work, distribution of causes of sudden death of the cases are analyzed. The detection of abnormalities in various occupational health examination indicators is analyzed. The chi square test is used to analyze the distribution of the types of work, length of service and abnormal physical examination indicators. Results: Among the 85 employees who died suddenly on duty, the ratio of men and women was 16∶1. The proportion of sudden death among employees aged 40 to 50 years was the highest (54.12%, 46/85) , which was mainly the first-line workers in the affected departments (43.53%, 37/85) and those with 20-30 years of service (57.64%, 49/85) . The main cause of sudden death was cardiogenic sudden death (78.82%, 67/85) . There were statistically significant differences in abnormal rates of blood pressure and blood glucose among workers of different types of work (χ(2)=7.24, 24.22, P<0.05) , and there were statistically significant differences in abnormal rates of blood lipid and blood glucose among workers of different ages of service (χ(2)=12.37, 31.44, P<0.05) Conclusion: Higher risks of sudden death on job are male, older than 40 years old, front-line workers in disaster receiving departments, worked for more than 30 years, and have abnormal cardiovascular indicators. Workers with these high risks are the major target population for the prevention and treatment of sudden death on the job. It's necessary to supervise enterprises to implement protective measures against risk factors, and to strengthen health education and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in order to reduce the occurrence rate of sudden death in oilfield workers.

Abstract
Highly dispersed Cu@FeCo/rGO catalysts have been prepared by two-step reduction method and used for hydrogen production from ammonia borane (NH3BH3, AB) hydrolysis at 298 K. The activity and reusability of synthesized composite catalyst were much more higher than Cu@FeCo for AB hydrolysis dehydrogenation at 298 K. Kinetic study manifested that AB hydrolysis dehydrogenation with Cu@FeCo/rGO catalysts was approaching to the first order at different catalyst concentrations. The hydrolysis reaction completed within four minutes, and its maximum hydrogen production rate reached to 7863.0 ml min-1 g-1 at 298 K.

Abstract
Many studies have suggested that folate plays a role in preeclampsia (PE) risks, but few studies have assessed folate-related 1-carbon metabolism (OCM)-related nutrients with the risk of PE. We hypothesized that OCM-related nutrients are associated with PE. A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted to explore the association between dietary OCM-related nutrients intake and the risk of PE in pregnant Chinese women. Four hundred and forty pairs of pregnant women with PE and hospital-based, healthy pregnant women, matched according to gestational week (±1 week) and age (±3 years), were recruited. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated 78-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Multivariate conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Restricted cubic splines were plotted to evaluate the dose-response relationship between dietary OCM-related nutrient intake and the risk of PE. Intake of folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, methionine, and total choline were inversely related to the risk of PE after adjustment for covariates (all P trend < .05). Adjusted ORs (95% CIs) for quartile 4 versus quartile 1 were 0.71 (0.55-0.93) for folate, 0.66 (0.50-0.87) for vitamin B6, 0.68 (0.52-0.88) for vitamin B12, 0.77 (0.60-0.81) for methionine, and 0.67 (0.51-0.87) for total choline. This study suggests that dietary OCM-related nutrients intake is associated with lower odds of PE in pregnant Chinese women.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or CABG plus mitral valve plasty (MVP) in patients with coronary heart disease complicated with moderate ischemic mitral insufficiency. Methods: The clinical data of 1 050 patients with coronary heart disease complicated with moderate ischemic mitral insufficiency who underwent surgical procedures from January 2009 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 733 males and 317 females, aging (63.3±9.0) years (range: 31 to 83 years). Patients were divided into CABG+MVP group and CABG group according to surgical methods, and the two groups of patients were matched for 1∶4 by the propensity score matching method. There were 107 patients in the CABG+MVP group and 406 patients in the CABG group after matching. The t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, Fisher's exact probability method and repeated measures anova were used to compare the surgical outcomes and overall survival in the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in perioperative death and postoperative complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with CABG group, CABG+MVP group had longer operation time ((5.6±1.2) hours vs. (4.2±1.0) hours, t=11.528, P<0.01), ICU stay(M(IQR))(43.0(47.3) hours vs. 25.0(33.6) hours, Z=2.483, P=0.013), and postoperative hospital stay (8(4) days vs. 7(5) days, Z=2.143, P=0.032). The amount of erythrocyte and platelet used in CABG+MVP group was significantly increased (2.0(6.5) U vs. 0(2.0) U, Z=7.084, P<0.01; 0(0.5) U vs. 0(0) U, Z=5.210, P<0.01). A total of 463 cases (93.9%) were followed up. Median follow-up was 32(31) months (range: 3 to 105 months). There was no significant difference in overall survival and no major adverse cardic and cerebrovascular events survival between CABG group and CABG+MVP group (P=0.196,P=0.305). Echocardiography showed that there was no significant difference in ejection fraction left ventricular end-diastolic diameter between the two groups (F=0.322, P=0.571; F=0.681, P=0.410). However, CABG+MVP improved mitral regurgitation better than CABG (F=160.222, P<0.01). Conclusions: For patients with coronary heart disease with moderate ischemic mitral insufficiency, the rates of all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events are similar between the two surgeries. Although CABG+MVP improves mitral regurgitation better than CABG, it increases the duration of surgery, ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay, and blood transfusion requirement.

Abstract
Background The effect of carotenoids on the risk of preeclampsia (PE) is uncertain. We aimed to examine the associations between the intake of dietary carotenoids and related compounds by pregnant women in China, and the risk of their developing PE. Methods Four hundred and forty PE cases and 440 age- (± 3 years), gestational age- (± 1 weeks) and gestational diabetes mellitus status- (yes/no) matched healthy controls were recruited from March 2016 to June 2019. Dietary intake of carotenoids was assessed using a 79-item validated food-frequency questionnaire. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using conditional logistic regression. Results After adjusting for potential confounders, we found that the intake of total carotenoids, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and lutein and zeaxanthin (lut-zea) were negatively associated with the odds of developing PE. Compared with the lowest quartile intake, the multivariate-adjusted OR (95% CI) of the highest quartile intake was 0.29 (0.16–0.54, Ptrend < 0.001) for total carotenoids, 0.31 (0.16–0.58, Ptrend < 0.001) for β-carotene, 0.50 (0.27–0.90, Ptrend = 0.007) for β-cryptoxanthin, 0.55 (0.30–0.99, Ptrend = 0.04) for lycopene and 0.32 (0.17–0.61, Ptrend = 0.001) for lut-zea. However, no significant associations were observed between the risk of developing PE and α-carotene intake (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.41–1.36, Ptrend = 0.28). Moreover, similar negative associations were found for every one-standard-deviation increase in the intake of total carotenoids, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and lut-zea. Conclusion These results indicate that a high intake of total carotenoids, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene and lut-zea may be associated with a low risk of developing PE.

Abstract
Little is known about the effects of dietary patterns on prevalent pre-eclampsia in Chinese population. This study aimed to investigate the associations between dietary patterns and the odds of pre-eclampsia among Chinese pregnant women. A 1:1 age- and gestational week-matched case-control study was conducted between March 2016 and February 2019. A total of 440 pairs of pre-eclampsia cases and healthy controls were included. Dietary intakes were assessed by a seventy-nine-item FFQ and subsequently grouped into twenty-eight distinct groups. Factor analysis using the principal component method was adopted to derive the dietary patterns. Conditional logistic regression was used to analyse the associations of dietary patterns with prevalent pre-eclampsia. We identified four distinct dietary patterns: high fruit-vegetable, high protein, high fat-grain and high salt-sugar. We found that high fruit-vegetable dietary pattern (quartile (Q)4 v. Q1, OR 0·71, 95 % CI 0·55, 0·92, Ptrend = 0·013) and high protein dietary pattern (Q4 v. Q1, OR 0·72, 95 % CI 0·54, 0·95, Ptrend = 0·011) were associated with a decreased odds of pre-eclampsia in Chinese pregnant women. Whereas high fat-grain dietary pattern showed a U-shaped association with pre-eclampsia, the lowest OR was observed in the third quartile (Q3 v. Q1, OR 0·75, 95 % CI 0·57, 0·98, Ptrend = 0·111). No significant association was observed for high salt-sugar dietary pattern. In conclusion, pregnancy dietary pattern characterised by high fruit-vegetable or high protein was found to be associated with a reduced odds of pre-eclampsia in Chinese pregnant women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the genetic basis for a child presented with renal failure and multi-cystic dysplastic kidney without anal atresia. METHODS Peripheral blood sample of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS The 40-day-old infant had presented with vomiting brown matter in a 7 days neonate and was transferred for kidney failure. Clinical examination has discovered renal failure, polycystic renal dysplasia, congenital hypothyroidism, bilateral thumb polydactyly, sensorineural hearing loss and preauricular dermatophyte. Genetic testing revealed that he has harbored a previously unreported c.824delT, p.L275Yfs*10 frameshift variant of SALL1 gene, which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing as de novo. CONCLUSION The patient was diagnosed with Townes-Brocks syndrome due to the novel de novo variant of SALL1 gene. Townes-Brocks syndrome without anal atresia is rare. Above finding has also enriched the mutational spectrum of the SALL1 gene.

Abstract
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), an essential respiratory support method, is widely used in acute/chronic respiratory failure and assisting rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We searched the relevant research articles about NPPV published from 1st October 2020 to 30th September 2021 through Medline. Researches focusing on the clinical application and viral transmission protection during high-flow nasal cannula oxygen and NPPV in COVID-19, were mainly retrospective and of small sample size. It demonstrated that high-flow nasal cannula oxygen and NPPV might reduce intubation rates when treating patients with mild-to-moderate respiratory failure, but the risk of delayed intubation should draw particular precaution. When using NPPV in non-COVID-19-related de novo acute respiratory failure, diaphragm thickening fraction and tidal change of esophageal pressure were validated to predict the treatment outcome. In addition, some studies explored the compliance and related influencing factors associated with the treatment effects of early NPPV initiation on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients and the effects of NPPV on dynamic hyperinflation during exercise in COPD patients. Furthermore, the effectiveness of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist ventilation and a novel communication device optimizing the use of NPPV were also investigated and outlined.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to uncover the correlations of the expression of colon cancer associated transcript 2 (CCAT2) in the clinical papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) specimens with the prognosis and chemoresistance of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression level of CCAT2 in the PTC and ATC specimens was determined using Real-Time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), and the correlations of CCAT2 expression with the clinical features of patients were detected via χ2 test. Besides, survival analysis was conducted to verify the relation between CCAT2 expression and patients' survival. After knockdown or overexpression of CCAT2, the changes in the proliferation ability of human thyroid carcinoma cells were examined via Cell Counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of doxorubicin and cisplatin were measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. RESULTS According to the χ2-test results, the expression of CCAT2 was notably correlated with the capsular invasion and lymph node metastasis of PTC, and the capsular invasion, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis of ATC. It was discovered through the survival analysis that the expression of CCAT2 was notably associated with the poor prognosis of ATC patients. After knockdown of CCAT2, both the proliferation ability and the IC50 values of doxorubicin and cisplatin substantially declined in human thyroid carcinoma cells. The opposite conditions were found after CCAT2 was overexpressed in human thyroid carcinoma cells. CONCLUSIONS CCAT2 potentiates the proliferation ability and chemoresistance of cells, promotes the progression of thyroid carcinoma, and hinders the prognosis of ATC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a nano-delivery system for targeted delivery of miR-16/polypeptide for enhancing cisplatin sensitivity of ovarian cancer. OBJECTIVE R9-SS-R9 and cRGD-R9-SS-R9 peptides were synthesized and self-assembled with miR-16 molecules to form a nano-delivery system. The stability, particle size, potential and morphology of the nanoparticles were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis, particle size potentiometer and transmission electron microscopy. CCK-8 assay was used to assess the toxicity of the polypeptides in ovarian cancer cells. Stem loop qRT-PCR and living cell imaging were used to verify the uptake efficiency and intracellular distribution of the nanoparticles. Flow cytometry and Western blotting were performed to verify the effect of the nanoparticles for enhancing cisplatin sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells and explore the possible mechanism. OBJECTIVE R9-SS-R9/miR-16 and cRGD-R9-SS-R9/miR-16 nanoparticles were successfully prepared. The nanoparticles, with a particle size below 150 nm, a dispersity index less than 0.1 and a potential of about 40 mV, showed a good serum stability. The polypeptide material had no obvious cytotoxicity. The miR-16/polypeptide nanoparticles could be efficiently absorbed by human ovarian cancer cells and were distributed in the cytoplasm. The nanoparticles significantly increased the intracellular expression level of miR-16 (P < 0.001) and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 and Chk-1 proteins in ovarian cancer cells, thus enabling miR-16 to promote apoptosis and enhance cisplatin sensitivity of the cells. OBJECTIVE We successfully prepared a miR-16/polypeptide nano-delivery system for targeted delivery of miR-16 to ovarian cancer cells for enhancing cisplatin sensitivity of the cancer cells.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS)-related diseases remain among the leading causes of death worldwide. Modified Xiaoyaosan (also called Tiaogan-Liqi prescription, TGLQ), a traditional Chinese medical formulation, has been widely applied in the treatment of AS-related diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying pharmacological mechanisms of TGLQ in acting on AS. A total of 548 chemical compounds contained in TGLQ, and 969 putative targets, were collected from the Computation Platform for Integrative Pharmacology of Traditional Chinese Medicine, while 1005 therapeutic targets for the treatment of AS were obtained from the DisGeNET, TTD and CTD databases. Moreover, the 63 key targets were screened by the intersection of the targets above, and by network topological analysis. Further functional enrichment analysis showed that the key targets were significantly associated with regulation of the immune system and inflammation, improvement of lipid and glucose metabolism, regulation of the neuroendocrine system and anti-thrombosis effect. The in vivo experiments confirmed that TGLQ could reduce plasma lipid profiles and plasma inflammatory cytokines, and also inhibit AS plaque formation, within the AS model ApoE-/- mice. The in vitro experiments validated the hypothesis that TGLQ could significantly reduce intracellular lipid accumulation, suppress the production of inflammatory cytokines of macrophages induced by oxidized-LDL, and inhibit the protein expression of heat shock protein 90 and toll-like receptor 4. This study identified a list of key targets of TGLQ in the treatment of AS by applying an integrative pharmacology approach, which was validated by in vivo and in vitro experimentation.

Abstract
Background Gut microbiota has a number of essential roles in nutrition metabolism and immune homeostasis, and is closely related to hepatocellular progression. In recent years, studies have also shown that FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP-5) plays a crucial role in immune regulation. However, it is not yet clear whether FKBP-5 promotes the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by affecting immune function and gut microbiota. Methods FKBP-5 expression was verified by immunochemistry and western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays. After treatment in WT and FKBP-5-/- mice, the histological characteristic of mice liver tissue was assessed by H&E staining, and hepatic leukocytes and hepatic NKT cells were identified by flow cytometer. Meanwhile, primary bile acids (BAs), secondary BAs, serum total cholesterol, and the weight of abdomen adipose tissues were examined, and the gut microbiota was evaluated by 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing. Results We discovered that FKBP-5 was highly expressed in HCC tissues. Meanwhile, FKBP-5 deletion inhibited tumor progression by increasing CD8+ T, CD4+ T, NKT and CD4+NKT cells in mice after diethylnitrosamine (DEN) injection. Besides, we proved that FKBP-5 deletion generated rapid and significant reductions in the intestinal BAs, the weight of abdomen adipose tissues and the serum total cholesterol. FKBP-5 deletion also led to a change in the composition of gut microbiota, suggesting that BAs are the main dietary factor regulating gut microbiota, which could be affected by FKBP-5 deletion. Further, we uncovered that anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 treatments facilitated hepatocellular progression by modulating gut microbiota composition in FKBP-5-/- mice. Conclusions Therefore, we demonstrated that FKBP-5 deletion inhibited hepatocellular progression by modulating immune response and gut microbiome-mediated BAs metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The DGKE gene encodes the diacylglycerol kinase epsilon (DGKε). Loss-of-function mutations of DGKE caused a group of rare renal diseases, which are called DGKE nephropathy. We report the clinical manifestations and therapeutic effects of a patient diagnosed with DGKE nephropathy. CASE REPORT The patient's initial symptoms were fever, diarrhea, eyelid edema, acute anemia, acute thrombocytopenia, an elevation of plasm D-dimer, proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, without oliguria or renal insufficiency at the age of 7.6 months. Hemolytic uremic syndrome was diagnosed. His proteinuria and hematuria turned out negative 2 months later. Proteinuria was noticed again at the age of 5.5-year old when he was brought to the hospital because of failure to thrive. Since then, he had been noticed with persistent proteinuria. RESULTS Genetic analysis revealed 2 novel heterozygous mutations on DGKE of the patient. Renal pathology mimicked membrane proliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN). CONCLUSIONS After a 5-month treatment of cyclosporine A (CsA), proteinuria and hypoproteinemia have relieved apparently. We also observed an improvement of his growth.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the absence of congenital arterial duct in fetus and to improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Four hundred cases of congenital heart disease diagnosed by echocardiography during pregnancy were examined the fetal cardiovascular malformation and visceral malformation, and the absence of arterial duct was analyzed. Results: There were 24(6%)cases of absence of arterial duct, including 19 cases of left aortic arch and five cases of right aortic arch. There were 21 cases with main pulmonary arteries and 3 cases without main pulmonary arteries and branches. There were 15 cases of pulmonary artery stenosis with absence of arterial duct and the major cardiovascular malformations included six cases of single ventricle, six cases of atrial septal defect, four cases of single atrium, four cases of right atrium isomerism, four cases of double outlet right ventricle, four cases of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, three cases of tetralogy of Fallot, and three cases of persistent left superior vena cava. There were seven cases of pulmonary atresia with absence of arterial duct and with systemic-pulmonary collateral circulation. There was one case of tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve and absent arterial duct and the pulmonary artery was dilated. There was one case of aortopulmonary septal defect with absent arterial duct, with normal pulmonary artery. There were also seven cases of asplenia, seven cases of pulmonary abnormality and seven cases of visceral inversion. Conclusions: The absence of arterial duct is often associated with congenital heart disease. Pulmonary atresia is often associated with systemic-pulmonary collateral circulation. The visceral malformations are related to the accompanying congenital cardiovascular malformations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in lung cancer therapy have resulted in improved clinical outcomes. Unfortunately, advances can come at a financial cost to patients and their families that poses a significant risk to overall quality of life (QoL). Financial distress has been shown to be associated with increased symptom burden and decreased treatment compliance but the magnitude of financial distress is not well characterized in lung cancer populations. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage II-IV newly diagnosed lung cancer and starting first-line therapy were recruited at a tertiary academic institution between July 2018 and April 2019. The comprehensive score for financial toxicity (COST) was used to assess financial toxicity and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) was used to assess QoL. Associations between financial toxicity and baseline variables were assessed using multivariable linear regression and correlations were assessed using the Pearson correlation. RESULTS In this study, 143 consecutive patients were approached and 91.6% agreed to participate (N = 131). The median age was 65 years (35-90); 52.7% were male (n = 69), and 75.6% were white (n = 99). The inability to afford basic necessities and having <1 month of savings was associated with increased financial toxicity (P < 0.001) after adjusting for other factors such as age, race, insurance, and income. There was also a trend toward increased financial toxicity among those who were employed but on sick leave (P = 0.06). Increased financial toxicity was correlated with a decrease in QoL (correlation coefficient 0.41, P < 0.001). Patients' anticipated out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses for the upcoming 6 months ranged from $0 to $50 000 (median $2150). However, there was no correlation between anticipated OOP expenses and either financial toxicity or QoL. CONCLUSIONS These data identify key factors for identifying at-risk patients and builds a framework for exploring the benefit of financial counseling interventions, which may improve QoL and oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
FAIMS interface is gaining popularity because of the impressive 100-fold signal to noise enhancement in addition to the recent coupling to the Orbitrap technology, the most important analyzer developed in the last 20 years. The selection of group of ions and effective removal of single-charged ones at particular compensation voltages increases around 50% the proteome coverage at expenses of lower peptides coverage. However, specific setting for phosphoproteome analysis is yet poorly described. Here we have found the maximum transmission for several tryptic phosphopeptides isolated from a single complex mixture and we have set an experimental method based on five compensation voltages partially different to the ones described previously, demonstrating the relevance of voltages higher than 47 V, with an increase of around 20% of unique phosphopeptides. Using this experimental setup two complex phosphoproteomes isolates (SH-SY5Y cell line and plasma) were analyzed and found increments of 50% on phosphopeptides identification with the proposed method with respect to a previous one, for the cell line extract. Meanwhile for plasma 109 of the detected phosphopeptides are found for first time in this body fluid, presumably due to the release of intracellular proteins. With this FAIMS setup, 60% of the proteins identified are classified as very low abundant proteins.

Abstract
Implant dentistry has emerged as a first line of treatment to replace missing teeth for both the edentulous and partially dentate patients. Implant dentistry is accompanied by the onset of peri-implantitis (PIM). PIM is characterized by the inflammatory destruction of the implant-supporting tissues, because of biofilm formation on the implant surface. A history of periodontitis, poor oral hygiene, and smoking are considered as risk factors for PIM. Occasionally PIM is associated with iatrogenic factors, that, only recently, have been acknowledged as direct cause of PIM, i.e.: non-parallel adjacent implants or the presence of a gap, between fixture and prosthetic components. The use both of traditional protocols of nonsurgical periodontal therapy and the laser seems to be an effective alternative treatment modality for PMI. By the application of laser-assisted non-surgical peri-implant therapy the periodontal pocket depth was reduced. The present article illustrates the nonsurgical management of one case, where failure to remove residual cement, from an implant-supported dental prosthesis, seemed to cause PMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) is a specific negative regulator of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling, which is predominantly activated to induce neuroinflammatory response in microglia and functions essential roles during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 (COP9) signalosome (CSN) is a signaling platform controlling protein stability by remodeling of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases, which is recently reported to specifically recognize proteins with SOCS-box domains. However, whether SOCS3 is related to COP9 signalosome in neuroinflammation during cerebral I/R injury is completely unclear. METHODS Mice subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion, and BV2 microglia cells treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) were used to mimic cerebral I/R injury. Western blot, qRTPCR, immunofluorescence, and co-Immunoprecipitation assays were performed to explore the regulatory mechanism of SOCS3 on neuroinflammation and the relationship of SOCS3 and COP9 signalosome during cerebral I/R injury. RESULTS SOCS3 expression is significantly upregulated in microglia during OGD/R treatment, and overexpression of SOCS3 suppresses OGD/R-induced STAT3 activation and inflammatory factor expression. Furthermore, we find that COP9 signalosome subunit 3 (CSN3) interacts with SOCS3 protein to enhance its stability, thereby resulting in restricting OGD/R-induced STAT3 activation and inflammatory response. Moreover, we find that knockdown of CSN3 evidently accelerates STAT3 activation, and aggravates cerebral I/R injury in vivo. CONCLUSION CSN3 restricts neuroinflammatory responses during cerebral I/R injury through stabilizing SOCS3 protein and indicates that CSN3 a potential therapeutic target for cerebral I/R injury.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have reported that Xiaoyaosan (XYS), Tiaogan-Liqi therapy, has a protective function in depressive disorder, and can regulate body weight and corticosterone (CORT) level. However, little is known about the effect of XYS in treating atherosclerosis. This study aimed to explore the influence XYS on macrophage foam cell formation and related mechanism. Methods Rat peritoneal macrophages (PMs) were separated and stimulated with CORT and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). The serum was obtained from rats treated with different doses of XYS and was added into the medium for macrophages. Then, the cell activity and lipid content of PMs were measured through Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and oil red staining, respectively. The expressions of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 1 (ABCA1), and heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) were detected. In addition, overexpression of GR and ABCA1 was performed and the effect on XYS treatment was subsequently assessed. Results The CCK-8 assay showed the serum increased cell activity of CORT-induced stress PMs in a XYS dose-dependent manner. Oil red staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that the serum decreased lipids of PMs. In the XYS treated groups, HSP90 protein was decreased and protein levels of ABCA1 and GR were increased in cytoplasm, while GR protein in nucleus was decreased. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay indicated GR might interact with HSP90 and be involved with the function of XYS. Furthermore, overexpression of GR attenuated the protective function of XYS on CORT-induced stress in PMs, while overexpression of ABCA1 enhanced that. Conclusions This study denoted that XYS could protect PMs from CORT-induced stress by regulating the interaction of GR and ABCA1, which might contribute to the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS), the most common underlying pathology for coronary artery disease, is a chronic inflammatory, proliferative disease in large- and medium-sized arteries. The vascular endothelium is important for maintaining vascular health. Endothelial dysfunction is a critical early event leading to AS, which is a major risk factor for stroke and myocardial infarction. Accumulating evidence has suggested the critical roles of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in regulating vascular cell homeostasis and AS. The purpose of this review is to present an updated view on the roles of HDACs (Class I, Class II, Class IV) and HDAC inhibitors in vascular dysfunction and AS. We also elaborate on the novel therapeutic targets and agents in atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Premature ventricular complex (PVC) with narrow QRS duration originating from proximal left anterior fascicle (LAF) is challenging for ablation. This study was performed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of ablation from right coronary cusp (RCC) for proximal LAF-PVC and to investigate this PVC's characteristics. METHODS Mapping at RCC and left ventricle and ECG analysis were performed in 20 patients with LAF-PVC. RESULTS The earliest activation site (EAS), with Purkinje potential during both PVC and sinus rhythm, was localized at proximal LAF in 8 patients (proximal group) and at nonproximal LAF in 12 patients (nonproximal group). The Purkinje potential preceding PVC-QRS at the EAS in proximal group (32.6±2.5 ms) was significantly earlier than that in nonproximal group (28.3±4.5 ms, P=0.025). Similar difference in the Purkinje potentials preceding sinus rhythm QRS at the EAS was also observed between proximal and nonproximal groups (35.1±4.7 versus 25.2±5.0 ms, P<0.001). In proximal group, the distance between the EAS to left His bundle and to RCC was shorter than that of nonproximal group (12.3±2.8 versus 19.7±5.0 mm, P=0.002, and 3.9±0.8 versus 15.7±7.8 mm, P<0.001, respectively). No difference in the distance from RCC to proximal LAF was identified between the 2 groups. PVCs were successfully eliminated from RCC for all proximal groups but at left ventricular EAS for nonproximal groups. The radiofrequency application times, ablation time, and procedure time of nonproximal group were longer than that of proximal group. Electrocardiographic analysis showed that, when compared with nonproximal group, the PVCs of proximal group had narrower QRS duration; smaller S wave in leads I, V5, and V6; lower R wave in leads I, aVR, aVL, V1, V2, and V4; and smaller q wave in leads III and aVF. The QRS duration difference (PVC-QRS and sinus rhythm QRS) <15 ms predicted the proximal LAF origin with high sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSIONS PVCs originating from proximal LAF, with unique electrocardiographic characteristics, could be eliminated safely from RCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diesel engine exhaust (DEE) exposure causes lung cancer, but the molecular mechanisms by which this occurs are not well understood. OBJECTIVES To assess transcriptomic alterations in nasal epithelium of DEE-exposed factory workers to better understand the cellular and molecular effects of DEE. METHODS Nasal epithelial brushings were obtained from 41 diesel engine factory workers exposed to relatively high levels of DEE (17.2-105.4 μg/m3), and 38 unexposed workers from factories without DEE exposure. mRNA was profiled for gene expression using Affymetrix microarrays. Linear modeling was used to identify differentially expressed genes associated with DEE exposure and interaction effects with current smoking status. Pathway enrichment among differentially expressed genes was assessed using EnrichR. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to compare gene expression patterns between datasets. RESULTS 225 genes had expression associated with DEE exposure after adjusting for smoking status (FDR q < 0.25) and were enriched for genes in pathways related to oxidative stress response, cell cycle pathways such as MAPK/ERK, protein modification, and transmembrane transport. Genes up-regulated in DEE-exposed individuals were enriched among the genes most up-regulated by cigarette smoking in a previously reported bronchial airway smoking dataset. We also found that the DEE signature was enriched among the genes most altered in two previous studies of the effects of acute DEE on PBMC gene expression. An exposure-response relationship was demonstrated between air levels of elemental carbon and the first principal component of the DEE signature. CONCLUSIONS A gene expression signature was identified for workers occupationally exposed to DEE that was altered in an exposure-dependent manner and had some overlap with the effects of smoking and the effects of acute DEE exposure. This is the first study of gene expression in nasal epithelial cells of workers heavily exposed to DEE and provides new insights into the molecular alterations that occur with DEE exposure.

Abstract
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a barrier which maintains the material exchange balance of brain microenvironment and could be destroyed by chronic stress (CS). Glucocorticoids (GCs) can mimic the chronic stress induced damage to BBB. GCs induced BBB trauma models in vitro and in vivo to explore the effects of the traditional medicine Xiao-Yao-San (XYS). In this research, we found CS could injure the BBB to change the biochemical index, which could be reversed by XYS in vitro. The abilities of cell proliferation, invasion, and the expression of tight junction related genes (Occludin, Claudin, JAM-1 and ZO-1) were suppressed by CS and the trauma could be reversed by XYS partly. It was showed that GRs interacted with Occludin directly and inhibited Occluding expression. In rats BBB trauma model, the GC content was deceased and BBB permeability was repaired by XYS. The expression of Occludin, Claudin, JAM-1 and ZO-1 were increased in the treatment of XYS. In our research, it shown that XYS affect the content of the GC and GR which interacted with Occludin directly for the first time. In addition, we also found that XYS could reduce BBB injury induced by CS via GR in BBB model in vitro. Therefore, it proves that XYS is a potential BBB repair medicine and may help to elucidate mechanism of brain pathology.

Abstract
To ensure that the shaft boring machine (SBM) runs along the pre-designed axis steadily, the role of the attitude measurement system is essential, but its accuracy and reliability cannot be guaranteed. Currently, there is no effective technology to meet the actual requirements, and there is a lack of relevant theoretical research in this field. Through further study of the attitude analysis method and multi-sensor fusion technology, this paper presents a dual coordinate method, which can be used to describe the attitude characteristics of the SBM. Moreover, this paper discusses the relationships between the attitude changes and the values of the angle as well as displacement and analyzes the implementation complexity and computational efficiency of related algorithms in software and hardware. According to the working characteristics of the SBM, the hardware design and the reasonable layout of the attitude measurement system are provided. Based on multi-sensor data, this paper puts forward an improved method combining a complementary filter with an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for attitude estimation and error compensation. The simulation experiments of different working processes verify the steady-state response and dynamic response performance of the method. Experimental results show that the dual coordinate method and the proposed filter are more suitable for attitude estimation of the SBM compared to other methods.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the short-term outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with sequential radial artery graft. Methods: Clinical data of patients with CAD who underwent CABG with sequential radial artery graft from August to December 2018 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital was retrospectively analyzed. Computer tomography angiography was employed to evaluate the patency of grafts and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events was followed up 3 months after surgery. Results: A total of thirty patients were included, with an average age of (60.2±7.3) years old, among whom 83.3% were male, and 93.3% had three-vessel disease detected by coronary angiography. All patients had left internal mammary artery (LIMA) anastomosed to the left anterior descending (LAD) and sequential radial artery graft. Among sequential radial artery grafts, the most frequent anastomosis of sequential radial artery graft was aortic artery (AO)-first diagonal branch (D1)-first obtuse marginal branch (OM1) (13 patients, 43.3%), followed by AO-OM1-second obtuse marginal branch (OM2) (9 patients, 30.0%), and 18 patients also underwent saphenous vein graft. None of 30 patients experienced adverse cardiovascular events during postoperative period in hospital. Three-months follow-up outcomes showed that LIMA-LAD in 1 patient (3.3%) occluded, 3 patients had occluded anastomosis of sequential radial artery graft, 1 patient (3.3%) had heart failure, and 1 patient (3.3%) had recurrent angina. Conclusion: The radial artery could be used as the second arterial graft for CAD patients undergoing CABG with a sequential anastomosis technique, and these patients need regular anti-arterial spasm drug treatment after CABG.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a metabolic and chronic inflammatory disease caused by deposition of lipoproteins in arteries. However, the diagnostic drug and the mechanism for this vascular disease are less studied. In the present study, atherosclerosis model was developed using apolipoprotein E-deficient mice that was treated with long-term high-fat food and chronic stresses. Xiaoyaosan (XYS) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist RU 38486 were orally administrated to the mice. The change of aortic root vessels was observed by histological analysis. The results indicate that high-fat food coupled with chronic stress induced atherosclerosis in mice model, with plaque formation in the entire aortas foam cells and macrophage infiltration in aortic tissues. However, XYS granules inhibited the development of atherosclerotic lesion, with down-regulation of GC, TC, TG, HDL-C, ox-LDL, LDL-C, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α measured by ELISA method; XYS inhibited the expressions of GR, CD36, HSP27/60/90, and induced ABCA1 in atherosclerotic mice, which was measured by qPCR and Western blot, which showed similar effect as positive control RU 38486 did. The interaction between HSP90-GR complexes and CD36 was validated in atherosclerotic mice. Our results inferred that the HSP/GR complex-mediated CD36 axis was involved in the regulation of atherosclerosis development in mice verified by Co-IP assay, EMSA, and Chip-PCR. These findings not only provide the potential therapeutic value of Xiaoyaosan for atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque but also brought forth a novel strategy for preventing the formation and treatment of atherosclerotic vulnerable plaques through the elucidated mechanism of XYS on vulnerable plaque.
