Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in extraction sockets of periodontally compromised molars on soft tissue healing, postoperative pain, bone density and bone height changes. Methods: This study is a single-center, single-blind, randomized controlled superiority clinical trial. Thirty-eight periodontally compromised molars requiring extraction in patients attending the Department of Periodontology, Stomatology Hospital, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, from December 2022 to September 2023 were included, and randomly assigned to PDT group and control group. The control group received routine debridement after extraction, while PDT group received routine debridement followed by PDT. The bucco-lingual and mesio-distal wound distances at 7 and 14 d after extraction were measured, and then the wound closure rates were calculated. Evaluating the soft tissue healing indexes at 7 and 14 d after extraction. The visual analogue scale was used to assess the pain level at 6 h, 1 d, 2 d, and 3 d after tooth extraction. Apical radiographs were taken immediately and 2 months after extraction in order to compare the changes of the bone density and height. Results: The wound closure rate at 1 week was (78.08±5.45)% in PDT group and (71.03±6.82)% in control group, with significant differences (P<0.01). The wound closure rate at 2 weeks in PDT group [(85.88±3.84) %] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(81.66±3.79) %] (P<0.01), but did not reach the superiority value of the superiority test (superiority value=10%, 95%CI at 1 week: 3.00%-11.12%, 95%CI at 2 weeks: 1.71%-6.73%). The soft tissue healing index of PDT group at 1 week was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups at 2 weeks (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative pain at 6 h, 1 d, 2 d and 3 d as well as in bone density and height changes at 2 months after tooth extraction (P>0.05). Conclusions: PDT could promote soft tissues healing to some extent, but did not provide additional assistance in the healing of extraction sockets of periodontally compromised teeth. PDT did not show benefits on postoperative pain, changes of the bone density and bone height after tooth extraction.

Abstract
This study identified the metabolic biomarkers for different clinical phases of bipolar disorder (BD) through metabolomics. BD patients were divided into three groups: patients with BD and depressive episodes (BE, n = 59), patients with BD and mania/hypomania episodes (BH, n = 16), patients with BD and mixed episodes (BM, n = 10), and healthy controls (HC, n = 10). Serum from participants was collected for metabolomic sequencing, biomarkers from each group were screened separately by partial least squares analysis, and metabolic pathways connected to the biomarkers were identified. Compared with the controls, 3-D-hydroxyacetic acid and N-acetyl-glycoprotein showed significant differences in the BE, BH, and BM groups. This study suggests that different clinical types of BD share the same metabolic pathways, such as pyruvate, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and ketone body metabolisms. In particular, abnormal glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism was specific to BM; β-glucose, glycerol, lipids, lactate, and acetoacetate metabolites were specific to depressive episodes; the guanidine acetic acid metabolites specific to BH; and the acetic and ascorbic acids were metabolites specific to manic and BM. We screened potential biomarkers for different clinical phases of BD, which aids in BD typing and provides a theoretical basis for exploring the molecular mechanisms of BD.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the present situation of pelvic floor muscle strength, and to analyze the factors affecting pelvic floor muscle strength. Methods: The data of patients who were admitted into the general outpatient department of gynecology, Peking University People's Hospital from October 2021 to April 2022 were collected, and the patients who met the exclusion criteria were included in this cross sectional study. The patient's age, height, weight, education level, defecation way and defecation time, birth history, maximum newborn birth weight, occupational physical activity, sedentary time, menopause, family history and disease history were recorded by questionnaire. Morphological indexes such as waist circumference, abdomen circumference and hip circumference were measured with tape measure. Handgrip strength level was measured with grip strength instrument. After performing routine gynecological examinations, the pelvic floor muscle strength was evaluated by palpation with modified Oxford grading scale (MOS). MOS grade>3 was taken as normal group and ≤3 as decreased group. Binary logistic regression was used to investigate the related factors of deceased pelvic floor muscle strength. Results: A total of 929 patients were included in the study, and the average MOS grade was 2.8±1.2. By univariate analysis, birth history, menopausal time, defecation time, handgrip strength level, waist circumference and abdominal circumference were related to the decrease of pelvic floor muscle strength (all P<0.05). By binary logistic regression analysis, the level of handgrip strength (OR=0.913, 95%CI: 0.883-0.945; P<0.001) was correlated with normal pelvic floor muscle strength; waist circumference (OR=1.025, 95%CI: 1.005-1.046; P=0.016), birth history (OR=2.224, 95%CI: 1.570-3.149; P<0.001), sedentary time> 8 hours (OR=2.073, 95%CI: 1.198-3.587; P=0.009) were associated with the decrease of pelvic floor muscle strength. Conclusions: The level of handgrip strength is related to the normal pelvic floor muscle strength of females, while the waist circumference, birth history and sedentary time>8 hours are related to the decrease of pelvic floor muscle strength of females. In order to prevent the decrease of pelvic floor muscle strength, it is necessary to carry out relevant health education, enhance exercise, improve the overall strength level, reduce daily sedentary time, maintain symmetry, and carry out comprehensive overall intervention to improve pelvic floor muscle function.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a nested recombinant enzyme-assisted polymerase chain reaction (RAP) technique combined with recombined mannose-binding lectin protein (M1 protein)-magnetic beads enrichment for the detection of Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Candida tropicalis (C. tropicalis) in blood samples for the early diagnosis of candidemia albicans and candidiemia tropicalis. Methods: The primer probes for highly conserved regions of the internal transcribed spacerregions of C. albicans and C. tropicalis were deigned to establish RAP assays for the detections of C. albicans and C. tropicalis; The sensitivity and reproducibility of nucleic acid tests with gradient dilutions of standard strains and specificity of nucleic acid tests with common clinical pathogens causing bloodstream infection were condcuted. M1 protein-magnetic bead enriched plasma C. albicans and C. tropicalis were used for RAP and PCR in with simulated samples and the results were compared. Results: The sensitivity of the established dual RAP assay was 2.4-2.8 copies/reaction, with higher reproducibility and specificity. M1 protein-magnetic bead enrichment of pathogen combined with the dual RAP assay could complete the detections of C. albicans and C. tropicalis in plasma within 4 hours. Fie the pathogen samples at concentration <10 CFU/ml, the number of the samples tested by RAP was higher than that tested by PCR after enrichment. Conclusion: In this study, a dual RAP assay for the detections of C. albicans and C. tropicalis in blood sample was developed, which has the advantages of accuracy, rapidity, and less contaminants and has great potential for rapid detection of Candidemia.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the incidence and risk factors of cardiovascular events in hematological neoplasms patients treated with anthracyclines in the real world. Methods: A total of 408 patients with lymphoma and leukemia, who were treated with anthracyclines during hospitalization in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 1, 2018 to July 31, 2021, were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into cardiovascular event group (n=74) and non-cardiovascular event group (n=334). The primary endpoint was cardiovascular events (arrhythmia, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction etc.) after anthracyclines therapy. The secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality, cardiovascular-cause death, discontinued chemotherapy due to cardiovascular events. Multivariate regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors of cardiovascular events. Kaplan-Meier was performed to calculate the incidence of all-cause mortality. Results: The mean age was (55.6±14.9) years, and there were 227 male patients (55.6%) in this cohort. The median follow-up time was 45 months. During follow-up, cardiovascular adverse events occurred in 74 patients (18.1%), including 45 heart failure (38 were heart failure with preserved ejection fraction), 30 arrhythmia, 4 acute myocardial infarction and 2 myocarditis/pericarditis. Multivariate regression analysis showed age (OR=1.024, 95%CI 1.003-1.045, P=0.027) and history of hypertension over 10 years (OR=2.328, 95%CI 1.055-5.134, P=0.036) were independent risk factors for the cardiovascular events. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed mortality was significantly higher in cardiovascular event group than in non-cardiovascular event group (47.3% vs. 26.6%, P=0.001). In the cardiovascular event group, chemotherapy was discontinued in 9 cases (12.2%) due to cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death occurred in 7 cases (9.5%). Conclusions: Although heart failure is the main cardiovascular event in lymphoma and leukemia patients post anthracyclines therapy, other cardiovascular events especially arrhythmias are also common. The presence of cardiovascular events is associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality in these patients. Age and long-term hypertension are independent risk factors for cardiovascular events in lymphoma and leukemia patients after anthracyclines treatment.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a complex disease caused by multiple factors, including idiopathic PAH, heritable PAH, disease related PAH etc. Due to the high genetic heterogeneity, clinical characteristics and prognosis of PAH patients vary greatly. At present, the specific pathogenesis of PAH is unclear, and the diagnosis and treatment of PAH remain to be explored. Therefore, the study of genetic susceptibility to PAH is of great significance for understanding the occurrence and development of the disease. With the development of genome-wide association study (GWAS), a large number of genetic variations related to etiology, clinical manifestations, prognosis and treatment of PAH have been identified. This review summarizes the recent progress in the application of GWAS in the study of genetic susceptibility of PAH, and provides new insights for further exploration of the development and individualized management of PAH.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features of early gastric cancers after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication. Methods: The clinical data of 26 cases of gastric cancer that were diagnosed after H. pylori eradication and 45 cases without H. pylori eradication in the 989 Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the People's Liberation Army (the former 152 Hospital), Pingdingshan, China from 2013 to 2021 were collected. The histological, immunophenotypic and clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared, and discussed with review of the related literature. Results: Among the gastric cancer patients with H. pylori eradication, there were 20 males and 6 females with a median age of 65 years (range 53 to 77 years). The cancer involved the upper part of the stomach in 12 cases, the middle part of the stomach in 4 cases, and the lower part of the stomach in 10 cases. The median diameter of the tumors was 12 mm (range 4-29 mm). According to the Paris Classification, 4 cases were 0-Ⅱa, 4 cases were 0-Ⅱb, 18 cases were 0-Ⅱc. White light endoscopy showed that the lesions were reddish to yellowish. The lesion boundary was clear in 12 cases and was unclear or gastritis-like changes in 14 cases, while the irregular microvascular structure and microsurface structure, as well as the relatively visible spinous boundary, were visible under narrow-band imaging. There were 20 cases of well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma, 4 cases of highly to moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma, and 2 cases of well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma with papillary adenocarcinoma. Compared with gastric cancers without H. pylori eradication, gastric cancers diagnosed after H. pylori eradication was associated with lower nucleus-cytoplasm ratio (<50%), normal epithelial coverage on the cancer surface, mild atypical epithelial coverage on the cancer surface, elongation of non-cancerous glands in the cancer tissue and subepithelial progression of cancerous glands were higher (P<0.05). The cellular immunophenotypes were gastric type in 6 cases, intestinal type in 4 cases and gastrointestinal mixed type in 16 cases. Conclusions: The early gastric cancers diagnosed after H. pylori eradication are more subtle clinically and mostly well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. The important morphological features of gastric cancer diagnosed after H. pylori eradication are decreased cytological atypia and overlying normal epithelium or mildly atypical epithelium of the cancer. Understanding and recognizing these morphological features are helpful to make correct endoscopic and pathological diagnoses.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the risk factors of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and to establish the prediction model. Methods: A study was conducted on the prevalence of POP among 2 247 parturient women at 6 weeks postpartum in Peking University People's Hospital from December 2018 to October 2019, and relevant influencing factors were analyzed to construct a prediction model of early postpartum POP using logsitic regression, which was validated internally. Data from November 2019 to December 2019 (403 parturient women) were collected for external validation of the prediction model. In addition, the obstetrical factors affecting the occurrence of early postpartum POP in 885 primiparas with vaginal delivery (from January 2019 to November 2019) were further discussed. Results: A total of 2 247 cases were included in the modeling group, and 403 cases were included in the external validation data set. POP accounted for 24.3% (545/2 247). Age, parity, body mass index before pregnancy, vaginal delivery and newborn birth weight were negative factors for early postpartum POP (all P<0.05). The nomogram was established based on the above factors, and internal and external verification indicated that the model had a good discrimination (C-index were 0.759 and 0.760, respectively). In addition, this study found that age and newborn birth weight were the main causes of early postpartum POP in primiparas with vaginal delivery (P=0.044, P=0.004). Conclusions: The incidence of early postpartum POP is high. The prediction model of POP constructed in this study could be used to guide clinical practice to a certain extent and give corresponding treatment suggestions to pregnant women scientifically, so as to provide theoretical support for primary prevention.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of CD8(+)CD25(+)T cells in peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its correlation with clinical indicators of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: Peripheral blood was collected from 38 patients with RA, and 20 healthy control subjects, RA patients admitted to Peking University people's hospital from May to October 2018, and record the RA patients with the clinical manifestations and laboratory indexes, extraction in the peripheral blood lymphocytes, using flow cytometry to analyse the percentage of CD8(+)CD25(+)T cells in peripheral blood, by using the software SPASS20 and Prism6 to analyze its correlation with clinical and laboratory indices. Results: The expression of CD8(+)CD25(+)T cells in peripheral blood of RA patients was significantly increased, which was statistically different from that of healthy patients (P<0.05). CD8(+)CD25(+)T cells in peripheral blood of RA patients showed significant positive correlation with ESR(r=0.352,P=0.030), CCP(r=0.312,P=0.047) and DAS28(r=0.330,P=0.043), and negatively correlated with C3 (r=-0.354,P=0.046) and C4(r=-0.440,P=0.010).No significant correlation was found in other indicators. In RA patients, there were statistically significant differences in CD8(+)CD25(+)T cells between the low-disease active group and the high-disease active group(P<0.05), but CD8(+)CD25(+)T cells between the low-disease active group and the moderate-disease active group, or between the moderate-disease active group and the high-disease active group had no significant statistical difference. Conclusion: CD8(+)CD25(+)Tcells in peripheral blood of patients with RA are significantlyincreased, and aresignificantly correlated with laboratory and clinical indicators, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of ureteroenteric strictures (UES) in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy plus urinary diversion (UD). Method: A total of 412 patients who underwent UD after radical prostatectomy from January 2008 to December 2016 were retrospectively included in this study. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), diversion type, time to diagnosis of UES, duration of ureteral stent, postoperative complications, including urinary tract infections, ureteroenteric leakage and UES were collected. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to describe time to developing UES. Prognostic factors of UES were analyzed using COX proportional hazard regression model. Result: Median follow-up time was 37 (IQR 17-120) months. A total of 59 patients (70 sides) developed UES, including 34 cases on the left side, 14 cases on the right side and 11 cases on both sides, following UD after radical cystectomy. The median time to diagnosis of UES was 7 (IQR 4-11) months. The total incidence of UES was 14.3%. The incidence of UES was 10.9%, 13.3% and 14.1% at 1, 3 and 5 years after UD, respectively. Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis demonstrated that BMI≥25kg·m(-2) (P=0.008), ureteroenteric leakage (P=0.001) and urinary tract infections (P=0.037) were the independent risk factors associated with UES following UD after radical cystectomy. Conclusion: The incidence rate of UES following UD after radical cystectomy was relatively high, which occurs more common on the left side. Obese patients, combined with ureteroenteric leakage, urinary tract infection after UD, are more likely to develop into UES.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the situation of early stage of pelvic floor function and investigate the effect factors in postpartum women. Methods: A retrospective survey was conducted, and women who did regular examination and gave birth in Peking University People's Hospital and had an annual pelvic floor examination at 6-12 weeks after delivery from Sep. 2012 to Dec. 2017 were interviewed. General information and pelvic floor electrical physiological indexes were collected and analyzed. Results: Totally 5 143 puerpera were included in the study. The normal strength of type Ⅰ muscle was 52.40% (2 695/5 143) and the normal strength of type Ⅱ muscle was 52.69% (2 710/5 143). The abnormal degree of fatigue of type Ⅰ muscle was 55.84% (2 872/5 143) and the abnormal degree of fatigue of typeⅡmuscle was 27.34% (1 406/5 143). Pelvic floor dynamic pressure was (93±37) cmH(2)O (1 cmH(2)O=0.098 kPa). The incidence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was 23.49% (1 208/5 143) after delivery and it was as high as 57.58% (95/165) for women who had family history of pelvic floor dysfunction. Family history of pelvic floor dysfunction was the risk factor of the fatigue index of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ muscle (P<0.05). The incidence of SUI was associated with vaginal delivery and age (≥30 years old) and family history of pelvic floor dysfunction (P<0.01). Conclusions: Pelvic floor electrical physiological indicators are reduced in about half of women in early postpartum stage. Age (≥30 years old) and vaginal delivery and family history of pelvic floor dysfunction are the risk factors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of T follicular helper (Tfh) subsets and T follicular helper effector memory (Tfhem) cells in circulation of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and explore their roles in SLE disease activity index as biomarkers. Methods: This study enrolled 64 patients with SLE and 15 healthy controls. In peripheral blood from patients with SLE and health controls, the percentage of Tfhem (CD3(+)CD4(+)CD45RA(-)CXCR5(+)CCR7(low)PD-1(high)) cells, Tfh (CD3(+)CD4(+)CD127(high)CD25(l)ow CD45RA(-)CXCR5(+)) subset: Tfh1 (CXCR3(+)CCR6(-)Tfh), Tfh2 (CXCR3(-)CCR6(+) Tfh), Tfh17 (CXCR3(-)CCR6(+) Tfh), were detected by flow cytometry. The correlations of Tfhem/Tfh subsets with clinical indicators which we collected were analyzed. Results: The percentage of Tfhem was significantly increased in SLE patients compare to health controls (1.40±1.12 vs 0.51±0.24, P<0.000 1), and it was also correlated with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) (P=0.015 3) and anti-dsDNA antibody (P=0.003 1), but not with complement C3 (C3), complement C4 (C4), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C reaction protein (CRP). In addition, the percentage of Tfh2, but not Tfh1 or Tfh17, was significantly increased in SLE patients compare to health controls (3.83±2.74 vs 2.18±1.07, P=0.000 4). As compared to anti-dsDNA antibody<25 group, the percentage of Tfh2 in anti-dsDNA antibody>25 group was increased with no significant statistical difference (4.33±3.20 vs 3.70±1.070, P=0.069 6). Conclusion: Our investigation show that Tfhem is associated with SLEDAI and it is a valuable evaluation biomarker for disease process and treatment. Meanwhile Tfhem is also associated with anti-dsDNA antibody, and it plays an important role in autoantibody production in SLE pathogenesis. Tfhem may be a good therapeutic target in SLE. For the meantime, the percentage of Tfh2 is significantly increased in SLE patients, and it had certain correlation with anti-dsDNA antibody, it might be involved in the development of SLE.

Abstract
Objective: To study perioperative period conditions of total and partial colpocleisis with severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in elderly patients. Methods: From Jan. 2014 to Oct. 2017 286 severe POP elderly patients underwent total or partial colpocleisis. The mean age was (76.0±5.1) years (60-90 years) . Of which, 220 patients (76.9%, 220/286) presented more than one kind of medical disease. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay after surgery, postoperative complications, preoperative urinary dysuria symptoms of total and partial colpocleisis in treatment of 286 patients were analyzed. Results: In 286 patients, 172 patients (60.1%) underwent total colpocleisis and 114 patients (39.9%) underwent partial colpocleisis. Totally 48 patients (16.8%) in 286 patients underwent anti-urinary incontinence procedure. The mean operating time of 286 patients was (67±22) minutes,the mean blood loss was (52± 57) ml, the mean hospital stay after surgery was (5.9±1.9) days (2-16 days) . The rate of postoperative complications was 8.7% (25/286) . Those complications including 1 case of bladder injury during operation, 3 cases of postoperative pelvic hematoma, 1 case of intestinal obstruction, 5 cases of atrial fibrillation, 10 cases of postoperative morbidity, 3 cases of pulmonary embolism, 1 case of lower limb thrombosis, 1 case of urinary retention underwent electrical stimulation treatment because of ineffective application of urinary retention catheter. The mean operating time was (67±22) minutes in total colpocleisis and (68±20) minutes in partial colpocleisis (P>0.05) , the mean blood loss was (58±62) ml in total colpocleisis and (41±45) ml in partial colpocleisis (P>0.05) , the mean hospital stay after surgery was (5.9±1.9) days in total colpocleisis and (6.0±1.8) days in partial colpocleisis (P>0.05) , the rate of post operative complications was 8.1%(14/172) in total colpocleisis and 9.6% (11/114) in partial colpocleisis (P>0.05) , respectively; those four of comparisons showed no significant difference. There were 129 patients (45.1%, 129/286) with voiding difficulty before surgery; the mean postvoid residual volumes of the above two operation types of people after operation were (35±43) and (34±41) ml, which showed no significant difference (P>0.05) . Conclusions: Colpocleisis is a safe and effective management in selected elderly patients with severe POP, who no longer desire to maintain vaginal coital function. There is no significant difference in the perioperative period conditions between total and partial colpocleisis. The choice of surgical procedure is based on factors such as the presence or absence of malignancy in the uterus, age and willingness of the patient, and general condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) 9, 15 and 17 on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). METHODS BMMSCs of ADAM9, ADAM15, ADAM17 conditional knockout mice and wild type mice (WT) were induced and cultured. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured by colorimetry, early osteogenic transcription factors Runx and Osterix were detected by Real-time PCR, and mineral formation was analyzed by alizarin red staining. RESULTS ALP activity was lower in ADAM9 group (8.08±0.34), ADAM15 group (6.46±3.40), ADAM17 group (9.30±2.30) than that in WT group (9.44±2.50), but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). Stimulated with bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2),there was significant difference (P<0.05) between ADAM9 group (14.22±3.25), ADAM15 group (10.14±2.40) and WT group (20.89±3.40), and ADAM 17 group (23.56±2.50) was higher than WT group (20.89±3.40), but no significant difference (P>0.05). Similarly, cultured by osteogenic induction medium (OST), compared with WT group (12.97±1.30), ADAM9 group (9.63±1.00) and ADAM15 group (7.75±1.30) were lower, ADAM17 group (20.09±1.68) was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Using stimulated culture by BMP2 and OST combined, ADAM9 group (15.75±1.30), ADAM 15 group (12.43±1.30) were less than WT group (26.15 ±1.50), while ADAM17 group (29.55±2.10) was higher than WT group were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression of Runx2 in ADAM9 group (2.02±0.24), ADAM15 group (3.09±0.19), ADAM17 group (3.89±0.91) had no significant difference compared with WT (2.02±0.21) group (P>0.05). ADAM9 group stimulated by BMP2 (7.00±0.23), ADAM15 group (6.04±0.23) were lower than WT group (12.6±0.23), ADAM17 group (18.52±1.39) was higher than WT group (12.6±0.23), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In non-stimulating culture, there was no significant difference in Osterix expression between ADAM9 group (9.60±3.87), ADAM17 group (12.40±3.00) and WT group (10.9±1.10, P>0.05), but in ADAM15 group (6.50±1.51) it was slightly lower than that in WT group (P<0.05). After BMP2 stimulation, ADAM9 group (39.20±3.23) and ADAM15 group (20.50±4.80) were less than WT group (60.30±5.93), while ADAM17 group (80.20±3.30) was higher than WT group (P<0.05). Alizarin red staining showed no obvious orange-red mass in the non-induction group. Local calcified nodules could be seen in the BMP2, OST, OST + BMP2 induction culture conditions in all the experimental groups, but there was no significant difference in quantitative analysis (P>0.05). CONCLUSION ADAM9, 15, 17 took part in the osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs, and provided new targets for its regulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate soluble interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain (sIL-2Rα, sCD25) in serum for the determination of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity. METHODS Peripheral blood was collected from 108 patients with RA, 39 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and 50 healthy control subjects, and synovial fluids were from 40 patients with RA. The sera from the patients with RA, the disease control group (osteoarthritis), the healthy control group, and the synovial fluids of the RA patients were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The clinical manifestations and laboratory parameters of the patients with RA were recorded and the correlation with the serum sCD25 level was analyzed. RESULTS The serum sCD25 concentration in RA group was (2 886±1 333) ng/L, the serum sCD25 concentration in OA group was (2 090±718) ng/L, and the serum sCD25 concentration in healthy group was (1 768±753) ng/L. The serum sCD25 level in the patients with RA was significantly higher than that in the disease controls and healthy controls (P<0.001). Sensitivity of serum sCD25 in the diagnosis of RA was 66.1% and specificity was 83.0%;serum sCD25 levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.321, P=0.001), C-reactive protein (r=0.446, P<0.001), DAS28 score (r=0.324, P<0.001), joint tenderness count (r=0.203, P=0.024), D-dimer levels (r=0.383, P<0.001), age (r=0.24, P=0.007), IgG (r=0.207, P=0.028), HRF-IgG (r=0.345, P=0.034) showed a significant positive correlation, and disease duration (r=-0.206, P=0.021) showed a negative correlation with sCD25;In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the positive rates of serum ESR, CRP, and sCD25 were 14.3% (2 cases), 14.3% (2 cases), and 71.4% (10 cases) in the low disease activity group. The positive rates of serum ESR, CRP and sCD25 in the moderate disease activity group were 94.2% (49 cases), 82.7% (43 cases), and 86.5% (45 cases). The positive rates of serum ESR, CRP, and sCD25 in the high disease activity group were 100% (42 cases), 95.2% (40 cases), and 90.5% (38 cases);36 cases of ESR and/or CRP were negative (about 33.3%) in 108 patients, serum sCD5 levels of 17 cases in these 36 cases (about 47.2%)increased, of which 14 cases (about 82.4%) had a DAS28 score higher than 3.2. CONCLUSION The serum sCD25 has a high specificity for diagnosis of RA and a poor sensitivity. The serum level is closely related to the activity of RA, indicating that sCD25 may be involved in the inflammatory process of RA and may become a new inflammatory marker of RA. It is more meaningful for detection of serum sCD25 when RA is active, but ESR and/or CRP is negative.

Abstract
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) refers to the fluid-conducting channels formed by aggressive tumor cells rather than endothelial cells (EC) with elevated expression of genes associated with vascularization. VM has been considered as one of the reasons that glioblastoma becomes resistant to anti-VEGF therapy. However, the molecular basis underlying VM formation remains unclear. Here we report that the insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) acts as a potent factor to enhance VM formation in glioma. Evidence showed that elevated IGFBP2 expression was positively related with VM formation in patients with glioma. Enforced expression of IGFBP2 increased network formation of glioma cells in vitro by activating CD144 and MMP2 (Matrix Metalloproteinase 2). U251 cells with stable knockdown of IGFBP2 led to decreased VM formation and tumor progression in orthotopic mouse model. Mechanistically, IGFBP2 interacts with integrin α5 and β1 subunits and augments CD144 expression in a FAK/ERK pathway-dependent manner. Luciferase reporter and ChIP assay suggested that IGFBP2 activated the transcription factor SP1, which could bind to CD144 promoter. Thus, IGFBP2 acts as a stimulator of VM formation in glioma cells via enhancing CD144 and MMP2 expression.

Abstract
FimA has been characterized as an important virulence factor for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). These structures play a major role in the mechanisms of adhesion and invasion of Pg to host cells, and can induce cellular activation and cytokines release. FimA can also promote biofilm formation and induce immuno-inflammatory response of host cells. Many studies have characterized FimA to be associated with periodontitis and cardiovascular disease. Pg strains are classified into six types based on divergent nucleotide sequences of the fimA gene (types Ⅰ、Ⅰb、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ andⅤ). The expression of fimbriae is regulated by the fimA gene, which may be the key factor that leads to virulence diversities of Pg, At present, the research on the pathogenesis of FimA mainly focuses on periodontitis and atherosclerosis, which is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of diseases. This paper reviewed the pathogenic effect of FimA in the development of above mentioned two diseases and its application in the prevention.

Abstract
A linear model for human cell metastasis has been developed in vitro from chemically transformed normal human cells. The chemically transformed cells are nontumorigenic in nude mice, but can be converted to a tumorigenic phenotype by transfection with a nondirectional cDNA library or antisense cDNA to the ML-1 gene. The primary transfected cell line (TR1T) forms localized, progressively growing tumors in nude mice that do not invade into the surrounding tissue. This tumorigenic TR1T cell line could be advanced into a metastatic stage following an additional transfection (TR2M cell line) with the cDNA expression library or antisense cDNA to the ML-1 gene. Metastatic cells, selected from tumors that were attached to internal organs, exhibited an increase in invasiveness as measured in vitro using an invasion chamber. The metastatic cells also exhibited an increased expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), although MMP-1 was not part of the cDNA that was transfected into either the TR1T cells or the doubly transfected metastatic TR2M cells. These data suggest that the increase in MMP-1 expression was a secondary downstream event responding to an upstream genetic change that initiated the conversion of cells from a tumorigenic to a metastatic stage. In summary, human cell lines representing premalignant, malignant, and metastatic phenotypes have been established in culture that can be used to identify gene changes that occur as normal human cells progress to a metastatic stage during tumor development. One gene, ML-1, that is found in the expression library appears to be involved in malignant progression, because ML-1 antisense cDNA will convert chemically transformed cells to both tumorigenic and metastatic stages, and cells from both local and metastatic tumors have a reduced or complete loss of expression of the ML-1 gene.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) on the growth performance, creatine and energy metabolism, and carcass characteristics in growing-finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire pigs (n = 180, 33.61 ± 3.91 kg average BW) were blocked by weight and sex, and allotted to 5 treatments with 6 replicates (3 gilts and 3 barrows per replicate pen). Diets were corn-soybean meal-basal diets supplemented with 0, 300, 600, 900, and 1,200 mg/kg of GAA and fed to the pigs for 98 d. From days 1 to 98, G:F increased (linear, P < 0.05) with increasing addition of dietary GAA. Using a broken-line model, the optimum level of dietary GAA was 300 mg/kg during the overall experimental period (days 1 to 98) to maximize G:F. Hot carcass weight, carcass length, and lean percentage showed a tendency to increase (quadratic, 0.05 < P < 0.10) with increasing addition of dietary GAA. On day 98, serum GAA and liver creatine tended to increase (linear, P = 0.10, 0.07) as dietary GAA increased. In addition, serum ATP on day 98 increased linearly (linear, P < 0.01), and muscle ATP and adenosine monophosphate increased quadratically (quadratic, P = 0.05) with incremental GAA supplementation. In Exp. 2, Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire pigs (n = 180, 53.19 ± 5.63 kg average BW) were blocked by weight and sex, and allotted to 5 treatments with 6 replicates (3 gilts and 3 barrows per replicate pen). Diets were corn-soybean meal-basal diets supplemented with 0, 150, 300, 600, and 1,200 mg/kg of GAA for 35 d. As dietary GAA increased, final BW, ADG, and G:F increased quadratically (quadratic, P < 0.01), and 300 mg/kg of GAA maximized ADG and final BW (P < 0.05).The results indicate that dietary GAA could increase the creatine and ATP load in the tissues of pigs and accordingly improve growth performance. Dietary supplementation with 300 mg/kg of GAA was suitable to maximize the growth performance of growing-finishing pigs.

Abstract
Objective Serum soluble CD25 (sCD25) could be used as a biomarker for disease activity in conditions associated with T-cell activation including various autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to explore the role of sCD25 as an indicator of disease activity and organ involvement in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Serum samples were collected from 107 SLE patients and 92 age-matched healthy controls (HCs). All patients were followed up for 24 weeks, and sCD25 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Clinical and laboratory data were recorded at baseline and then every two weeks until week 24. The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI)-2K was adopted for assessing disease activity at all visits. Results Serum sCD25 levels were significantly increased in SLE patients compared to those in HCs ( p < 0.001). More patients in the high-sCD25 group had lupus nephritis, arthritis and vasculitis ( p = 0.010, p = 0.023 and p = 0.042, respectively). SLEDAI-2K, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein and 24-hour urinary protein excretion were all associated with high levels of sCD25 ( p < 0.001, p = 0.002, p = 0.038 and p = 0.029, respectively). During the 24-week follow-up, more patients in the high-sCD25 group developed renal impairment (48% vs 6.2%, p = 0.005), and higher levels of sCD25 ( p = 0.033) were found at the time of onset of renal disease. Conclusions Serum sCD25 is a hallmark of disease activity and a predictor of renal disease in patients with SLE.

Abstract
Ectopic thyroid tissue is resulting from developmental defects at early stages of thyroid gland embryogenesis. It can be found in many sites,including the tongue, pharynx, hyoid and throat. Ectopic thyroid tissue may also be involved in the same pathological processes as normal, or hotopic thyroid gland. These processes include tumors, inflammation and hyperplasia. They can cancerization, and the treatment of ectopic thyroid carcinoma is also controversial. The appearance of such tissue in rare locations may lead to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect the expressions of T follicular helper (Tfh) subsets and T follicular helper effect memory (Tfhem) cells in circulation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as to examine their roles in providing biomarkers for active RA. METHODS This study enrolled 41 patients with RA, who were navely-treated or had no application of hormone and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs in recent 3 months, as well as 32 healthy controls. The percentages of Tfhem (CD4+CXCR5+CCR7lowPD1high) cells, Tfh (CD3+CD4+CXCR5+CD45RA-) subsets, Tfh1 (CXCR3+CCR6-Tfh),Tfh2 (CXCR3-CCR6-Tfh),and Tfh17 (CXCR3-CCR6+Tfh), were determined by flow cytometry of peripheral blood from the patients with RA and health controls. Serum levels of cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA). The correlations of Tfhem/Tfh subsets with clinical indicators were analyzed. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was (56.1±14.0) years (range: 20-82 years), the mean disease duration was (8.2±8.1) years. There was no significant difference between the RA patients and the health controls with age and gender. As compared with the health control, the percentage of Tfhem was significantly increased in the peripheral blood of the RA patients (12.8%±5.7% vs. 8.7%±2.0%, P=0.001). Moreover, the increased Tfhem was correlated with the higher disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), but not with other clinical indicators, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies, and rheumatoid factors (RF). In addition, the percentage of Tfh2 subset, but not Tfh1 or Tfh17, was significantly increased in the RA patients (3.002%±0.408% vs. 1.730%±0.160%, P=0.013). As compared with Tfh2-low group, serum levels of Ig (immunoglobulin) A [(3.045±0.261) g/L vs.(3.963±0.815) g/L, P=0.172], IgG [(13.800±0.862) g/L vs.(16.980±0.224) g/L, P=0.161], IgM [(1.135±0.083) g/L vs.(1.731±0.380) g/L, P=0.140], IL (interleukin)-4 [(2.322±0.214) ng/L vs.(3.994±0.751) ng/L, P=0.056] and IL-10[(1.898±0.105) ng/L vs. (3.125±0.880) ng/L, P=0.140] in Tfh2-high group tended to increase with no significant statistical difference. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that Tfhem is associated with disease activity and is a valuable marker for active RA. It also presents a potential pathogenesis in the development of RA and the target for future therapies. Meanwhile, the increased Tfh2 and associated cytokines might be involved in the development of RA.

Abstract
Objective: To study the morphologic changes of immunotactoid glomerulopathy and to investigate the clinical pathological features and differential diagnosis. Methods: Renal biopsy was observed under the light microscope, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy in a case of newly diagnosed immunotactoid glomerulopathy. Results: This patient clinically presented with nephrotic syndrome and hypertension, without family history of renal diseases. Light microscopy showed that diffusely massive and specific protein deposition in the glomerulus in Masson staining. Immunofluorescence revealed IgG, C3 and κ were deposited along the capillary walls and mesangial regions. Electron microscopic examination showed that a large amount of microtubule like substances and a small amount of long bar-shaped and dense crystal-like substances were deposited in the subendothelial spaces and mesangial areas. Conclusions: Light microscopy and immunofluorescence of immunotactoid glomerulopathy show no specifically pathological changes. Under electron microscope, a large amount of microtubule like substances is deposited in the glomerulus, which is the key point to distinguish this disease from other glomerular diseases. Except for the microtubule-like substances, the present case is accompanied by the deposition of long bar-shaped and dense crystal-like substance, which has not been reported in previous studies.

By detecting high- risk HPV infection by flow-through hybridization genechip technique. Results: (1)Among 785 cases of cervical cancer, 71 cases were negative for HPV infection tested by genechip technique, accounting for 9.0%(71/785), and the relative light units/cut off(RLU/CO)ratios of these 71 cases were less than 1 by hybird capture Ⅱ(HC-Ⅱ)methods. The results showed that the positive coincident rate of genechip technique detecting result with HC-Ⅱ method was 100.0%(71/71).(2)There was no difference between 43(60.6%)cases from 41-55 years old of 71 cases of HPV-negative patients and 392(54.9%)cases from 41- 55 years old of 714 cases of HPV infection patients(χ2=15.63, P=0.571). Among 71 cases of HPV-negative patients, 32 cases of patients with doing TCT, 6(18.8%)cases for normal, 10(31.2%)cases for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASCUS), 3(9.4%)cases for atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(ASC-H), 3(9.4%)cases for low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL), 8(25.0%)cases for hight-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL), 2(6.2%)cases for squamous cell carcinoma(SCC). And there were 391 cases of patients with doing thin-prep cytologic test(TCT)of 714 HPV infection patients, 60(15.3%)cases for normal, 61(15.6%)cases for ASCUS, 28(7.2%)cases for ASC-H, 29(7.4%)cases for LSIL, 164(41.9%)cases for HSIL, 49(12.5%)cases for SCC. There was no difference of TCT between HPV infection and HPV-negative patients(P>0.05). Among 70 cases from 71 patients with negative for HPV infection, there were 8(11.4%)cases in stage Ⅰ a, 26(37.1%)cases in stage Ⅰ b1, 12(17.1%)cases in stage Ⅰb2, 11(15.7%)cases in stage Ⅱa, 10(14.3%)cases in stage Ⅱb, 3(4.3%)cases in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. There were 118(16.6%)cases in stage Ⅰa, 261(36.8%)cases in stage Ⅰb1, 72(10.1%)cases in stage Ⅰb2, 152(21.4%)cases in stage Ⅱa, 87(12.3%)cases in stage Ⅱb, 20(2.8%)cases in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ in 710 cases of HPV infection patients, in which there were no difference of clinical stage between HPV infection and HPV-negative patients(P>0.05). Among 69 cases from 71 patients HPV-negative infection, there were 51(73.9%)cases for squamous carcinoma, 13(18.8%)cases for adenocarcinoma, 5(7.2%)cases for adenosquamous carcinoma; and 593(87.2%)cases for squamous carcinoma, 38(5.6%)cases for adenocarcinoma, 39(5.7%)cases for adenosquamous carcinoma, 10(1.5%)case for others were in 680 patients of HPV infection, in which there was significant difference of adenocarcinoma between HPV infection and HPV-negative patients(χ2=11.96, P=0.001). Conclusions: Flow-through hybridization genechip technique is the method of high sensitivity to detect high-risk type HPV, as like HC-Ⅱ method. HPV-negative of cervical cancer occurs mainly in 41- 55 years old. Adenocarcinoma incidence is significantly higher in HPV-negative cases than those patients with infection of HPV positive.

Abstract
The envelope protein (Env) of the Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) is known to be a unique oncoprotein responsible for inducing ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA). The objective of this study was to prepare a specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) against the JSRV Env protein using bioinformatic analysis. According to the structure and epitope prediction results of JSRV Env, the JSRV-Env572-615 antigen was prepared via peptide synthesis (amino acid sequence 572-615, denoted as JSRV-Env572-615). BALB/c mice were immunized to prepare the anti-JSRV-Env572-615 mAb. Spleen cells were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells after being screened by indirect ELISA and cloned by limiting dilution. The specificity of mAb was evaluated by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry assays. Western blot results showed that the JSRV Env protein was able to bind to mAb with high specificity. Immunohistochemistry assays demonstrated that the mAb was able to recognize JSRV Env in adenomatous hyperplasia of the lung. Furthermore, JSRV was detected in peripheral blood leukocytes during the pre-clinical period of OPA in 2 of the 25 sheep using this newly synthesized mAb. Therefore, this mAb may be a useful tool for the detection of JSRV in sheep.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the effect of 10-hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT) on osteoclast formation. RAW264.7 cells were cultured in vitro with 100 ng/ml receptor activator for nuclear factor-κ B ligand (RANKL) and 30 ng/ml recombinant macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), and 10-HCPT with different solubilities were added. After five-day cultivation, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was used to observe the number of osteoclasts. mRNA expression of osteoclast-specific genes, such as TRAP, cathepsin K (CTSK) and matrix metalloproteinase protease 9 (MMP-9), was detected by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The effect of 10-HCPT on the proliferation activity of RAW264.7 cells was detected using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). CCK-8 detection showed that 10-HCPT with a certain concentration (1 ng/ml to 5 ng/ml) had no effect on cell proliferation (P>0.05); 10-HCPT could inhibit the generation of osteoclasts. With the increase of the concentration of 10-HCPT, the number of osteoclasts generated from cells cultured with 10-HCPT [1 ng/ml (86±11.14), 2 ng/ml (66.67±7.51), 5ng/ml (27.67±6.51)] was much lower than that of the control group (145±8.19), and the difference was statistically significant (all P=0, P less than 0.05); mRNA expression of osteoclast-specific gene TRAP [1 ng/ml (24.38±0.68), 2 ng/ml (20.09±1.86), 5 ng/ml (6.23±0.53)], CTSK [1 ng/ml (10.08±0.81), 2 ng/ml (7.30±0.30), 5 ng/ml (3.20±0.56)] and MMP-9 [1 ng/ml (43.54±6.96), 2 ng/ml (28.28±5.83), 5 ng/ml (11.07±2.53)] was much lower than that of the groups added with RANKL and M-CSF only (all P=0, P less than 0.05), and with the increase of concentration of 10-HCPT, the expression of osteoclast-specific genes showed a decreasing tendency. All the findings suggest that 10-HCPT can inhibit the formation of osteoclasts by reducing the expression of osteoclast-specific genes such as TRAP, CTSK and MMP-9.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is a medically and agriculturally important protozoan parasite that can infect virtually all the mammalian and avian species. Previous studies showed that the family of rhoptry proteins (ROPs) plays a key role in the invasion process of T. gondii, and its several members can be potential marker for population genetic researches of Toxoplasma. In order to estimate whether other member is also suitable as the novel genetic marker, the variation of ROP41 gene among 11 T. gondii isolates from different hosts and geographical locations and two reference strains was examined in this study. Our results showed that all the examined sequence of TgROP41 gene was 1473 bp in length, and their A+T contents were between 48.47% and 48.88%. Sequence analysis presented 14 nucleotide mutation positions (0%-0.54%), leading to 5 amino acid substitutions (0%-0.61%) through alignment with T. gondii ME49 strain (ToxoDB: TGME49_266100). Furthermore, phylogenetic analyses by MP and BI methods based on deduced amino acid sequences of TgROP41 gene was only able to distinguish the type I strain, but not able to separate the two classical genotypes (Type II and III) into the respective clusters. These results indicated limited sequence diversity in the TgROP41 gene.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the lin-par-lin Ramsey coherent population trapping 87Rb clock using a dispersion detection technique has a promising performance. We theoretically and experimentally investigate the signal-to-noise ratio of the Ramsey spectrum signal by varying the relative angle of the polarizer and analyzer as well as the magnetic field. Based on the experimental results, the optimized relative angle and magnetic field are determined. This kind of atomic clock is attractive for the development of compact, high performance vapor clock based on CPT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the finite element model of uterosacral ligament (USL) and cardinal ligament (CL) and analyze the stress distribution and deformation with USL and CL under different working conditions. METHODS Patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and healthy female volunteers were selected for research subject, and divided into anterior uterus group and posterior uterus group. Two POP patients and two volunteers were selectd into the anterior uterus group and posterior uterine group respectively. Pelvic MRI scan was performed in two groups. Based on the original MRI data sets, the finite element model of USL and CL was constructed by using the software such as the Mimics, and the stress distribution and deformation of USL and CL were simulated. RESULTS Under the premise of the elastic modulus fixed and three different working conditions such as 60 cmH2O, 99 cmH2O and 168 cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) with abdominal pressure generated by maximum Valsalva maneuver, according to the present conditions and the simulation, the trend was analyzed: the stress and deformation of the uterus, anterior vaginal wall, USL and CL in two groups were mainly distributed in the middle and lower part of the anterior vaginal wall or the ligament and the cervix-vagina junction, the maximum stress and the maximum displacement were mainly concentrated in the lower region of the anterior vaginal wall. With increasing of abdominal pressure generated by the maximum Valsalva maneuver, the maximum stress values of the POP patient in anterior uterus group under three different working conditions were: 0.027 9, 0.046 0, 0.078 0 MPa, and the maximum displacement values were: 9.145 5, 15.090 0, 25.607 0 mm. The maximum stress values of the volunteer in anterior uterus group under three different working conditions were: 0.012 6, 0.020 8, 0.035 3 MPa, and the maximum displacement values were: 1.816 7, 2.997 5, 5.086 7 mm. The maximum stress values of the POP patient in posterior uterine group under three different conditions were: 0.069 4, 0.114 6, 0.194 5 MPa, and the maximum displacement values were: 11.658 0, 19.236 0, 32.643 0 mm. The maximum stress values of the volunteer in posterior uterus group under three different working conditions were: 0.009 1, 0.015 1, 0.025 6 MPa, and the maximum displacement values were: 2.581 6, 4.259 6, 7.228 4 mm. The maximum stress values and the maximum displacement values were all increased with increasing of abdominal pressure in the two groups. The maximum stress values and the maximum displacement values of the POP patients were greater than those of volunteers. Under different working conditions, the maximum stress values and maximum displacement values of the posterior uterus POP patient were all greater than those of the anterior uterus POP patient. CONCLUSIONS The finite element model of USL and CL is completely based on the MRI technology and the model is real and reliable. The increase of abdominal pressure will produce a larger stress and deformation of USL and CL, which is one of the reasons causing the injury of the ligament.

Abstract
We examined the expression of angiopoietin-2 in serum samples from patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and healthy volunteers and investigated the feasibility of using angiopoietin-2 as a potential diagnostic colorectal cancer biomarker. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure the levels of angiopoietin-2 in patients with colorectal cancer and healthy control subjects. Correlations between serum angiopoietin-2 levels and clinicopathological factors were investigated. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to predict cut-off values of the markers. Serum concentrations of angiopoietin-2 were significantly higher in patients with colorectal cancer than in controls (2896 ± 1273 vs 1554 ± 991 pg/mL, P = 0.004). Serum angiopoietin-2 expression levels were significantly positively correlated with TNM stage (P = 0.003), lymph node involvement (P = 0.04), and distant metastases (P = 0.005). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that serum level of angiopoietin-2 was a potential biomarker for differentiating colorectal cancer patients from controls and had a receiver operating characteristic area under the curve of 0.859 (95% confidence interval = 0.740-0.978). At a cut-off value of 2710 pg/mL, the sensitivity was 79.3% and the specificity was 82.4%. Our results suggest that angiopoietin-2 can be used as a diagnostic biomarker for colorectal cancer in clinical practice. Additional studies are needed to clarify the detailed mechanism of angiopoietin-2 in the carcinogenesis and metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
A microwave frequency standard based on laser-cooled (113)Cd(+) ions has been developed in recent years, and the short-term frequency instability is measured to be 6.1×10(-13)/√τ. By comparing the Cd(+) clock to a superior frequency reference, the ground-state hyperfine splitting of (113)Cd(+) is measured precisely to be 15199862855.0192(10) Hz with a fractional precision of 6.6×10(-14). This result is consistent with previous results, and the measurement precision is improved by nearly one order more than the best result reported before.

Abstract
The black citrus aphid, also known as the tea aphid, (Toxoptera aurantii Boyer) attacks economically important crops, including tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze). In the current study, silica sol-gel formulations were screened to find one that could carry and release C. sinensis plant volatiles to lure black citrus aphids in a greenhouse. The common plant volatile trans-2-hexen-1-al was used as a model molecule to screen for suitable sol-gel formulations. A zNose (Electronic Sensor Technology, Newbury Park, CA) transportable gas chromatograph was used to continuously monitor the volatile emissions. A sol-gel formulation containing tetramethyl orthosilicate and methyltrimethoxysilane in an 8:2 (vol:vol) ratio was selected to develop a slow-release dispenser. The half-life of trans-2-hexen-1-al in the sol-gel dispenser increased slightly with the volume of this compound in the dispenser. Ten different volatiles were tested in the sol-gel dispenser. Alcohols of 6-10 carbons had the longest half-lives (3.01-3.77 d), while esters of 6-12 carbons had the shortest (1.53-2.28 d). Release of these volatiles from the dispensers could not be detected by the zNose after 16 d (cis-3-hexenyl acetate) to 26 d (3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol). In greenhouse experiments, trans-2-hexen-1-al and cis-3-hexen-1-ol released from the sol-gel dispensers attracted aphids for ≍17 d, and release of these volatiles could not be detected by the zNose after ≍24 d. The sol-gel dispensers performed adequately for the slow release of plant volatiles to trap aphids in the greenhouse.

Abstract
A new and fast sample preparation technique based on two-phase hollow fiber liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) with magnetofluid was developed to quantitate and determine the four phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs) (Echinacoside, Tubuloside B, Acteoside and Isoacteoside) in plasma after oral administration of Cistanche salsa extract. Analysis was accomplished by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with ultraviolet detection. Parameters that affect the HF-LPME processes, such as the content of magnetic powder, the solvent type, salt content, stirring speed, extraction time and hollow fiber length, were investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the preconcentration factors for PhGs were higher than 625. The calibration curve for PhGs was linear in the range of 0.1-100ngmL(-1) with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9996. The intra-day and inter-day precision (RSD) were below 8.74% and the limits of detection (LOD) for the four PhGs were 8-15pgmL(-1) (S/N=3). The validated method was successfully applied to separate and determine the four PhGs in rat plasma after oral administration of C. salsa extract.

Abstract
AIM Aim of the present study was to investigate the role of dual-source parallel Radio frequency (RF) and single-source excitation in liver imaging at 3.0 T MR. METHODS This study was a retrospective analysis. One hundred and seven subjects underwent a 3.0 T TX MR scanning including axial spectrally selective attenuated inversion recovery (SPAIR) T2WI, axial DWI and coronal balanced-fast field echo (Balanced FFE). Each sequence was carried out with both single-source and dual-source RF excitation. Student's t test was used to compare whether there was difference between single-source and dual-source RF excitation in the image uniformity, single-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to determine whether there was difference between conventional and parallel transmission in the score of image quality. Reader agreement was assessed using the Cohen's Kappa test. RESULTS For the image uniformity, there was significant difference between single-source and dual-source excitation (418.40±66.75 for single-source vs. 416.26±50.61 for dual-source, t=2.524, P<0.05). There also existed significant difference between single-source and dual-source excitation in SNR and CNR, respectively. The SNR and CNR of parallel transmission (22.03±12.16 and 18.33±10.01, respectively) were both higher than those of single transmission (20.36±11.21 and 15.22±8.95, respectively) (t=-2.630, P<0.05 for SNR and t=-4.238, P<0.05 for CNR). Image quality comparisons revealed significantly better results with dual-source than single-source RF excitation at SPAIR T2WI (1.4±0.42 vs. 1.81±0.27), DWI (1.08±0.46 vs. 1.63±0.36) and balanced FFE sequence (0.95±0.45 vs. 1.65±0.37, Z=-5.894, -5.801 and -6.985, respectively, P<0.01). In the comparison of image quality, the agreement between the two readers was very good (Kappa>0.8, P<0.05). CONCLUSION Dual-source parallel RF excitation MR imaging in liver enables reducing dielectric shading, improving homogeneity of the RF magnetic induction field, and increasing SNR and CNR at 3.0 T.

Abstract
Radish floral bud abortion (FBA) is an adverse biological phenomenon that occurs during reproduction. Although FBA occurs frequently, its mechanism remains unknown. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying FBA, we detected gene expression differences between aborted and normal buds of radish using cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). A total of 221 differentially expressed transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) were detected by 256 cDNA-AFLP primer combinations, of which 114 were upregulated and 107 were downregulated in the aborted buds. A total of 54 TDFs were cloned and sequenced. A BLAST search revealed that all TDFs have homologous sequences and 29 of these corresponded to known genes, whose functions were mainly related to metabolism, stimulus response, transcriptional regulation, and transportation. Expressions of 6 TDFs with different functions were further analyzed by real-time PCR yielding expression profiling results consistent with the cDNA-AFLP analysis. Our results indicated that radish FBA is related to abnormalities in various physiological and biochemical plant processes.

Abstract
AIM The study evaluated the effect of a loose-seton technique for perianal necrotizing fasciitis. METHOD The medical records of seven patients with perianal necrotizing fasciitis treated by the loose-seton technique between December 2005 and June 2010 were reviewed. Age, gender, status of diabetes mellitus, duration of symptoms, the length of hospital stay and number of debridements were investigated. RESULTS Five of the patients were men. The mean age was 53 years and the range was 43-79 years. All seven patients had a past history of acute perianal abscess. Six (85.7%) patients had diabetes mellitus. The mean time for removal of the seton was 24 (14-32) days and the mean hospitalization time was 31 (23-45) days. All patients had primary wound healing. There was no mortality. At a median follow-up 18 (6-60) months one patient required inpatient treatment with cutting-seton for complex anal fistula after 11 months. All patients had normal faecal continence and none of them required a reconstructive procedure during the follow-up. CONCLUSION The loose-seton technique is an effective treatment for perianal necrotizing fasciitis. The advantages include inhibiting the spread of inflammation, reducing the frequency of debridements, decreasing the area of the wound and limiting extensive scar formation.
