Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair guided by only transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods: Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation in Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital who met the inclusion criteria based on clinical and echocardiographic evaluationand underwent transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair between January 2022 and May 2023 were prospectively enrolled. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and solely guided by TEE. The patients underwent clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocardiography one month after the procedure. Results: A total of 22 patients (12 males and 10 females) were included, with an average age of (71.3±6.7) years. All 22 patients successfully underwent the transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair under TEE guidance, with an average of (1.5±0.6) clips implanted. Immediately after procedure, six patients had no or trace regurgitation, 15 patients had mild regurgitation, and one patient had moderate regurgitation. All 22 patients completed 30-day follow-up, with four patients having trace regurgitation, 17 patients having mild regurgitation, and one patient having moderate regurgitation. Echocardiographic measurements revealed that effective regurgitant orifice area, regurgitant volume, vena contracta width, and proximal isovelocity surface area radius significantly decreased after the procedure (all P<0.05). In addition, inferior vena cava width, right atrial volume, tricuspid annular diameter, and right ventricular end-diastolic diameter significantly improved (all P<0.05), but tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and right ventricular fractional area change did not show significant differences compared with those before the procedure (both P>0.05). Conclusion: It has been preliminarily confirmed that transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair solely guided by TEE is feasible and safe, but requires more large-scale studies for further validation.

Abstract
The impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the progression of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease remains controversial. We aimed to investigate whether pre-existing chronic HBV (CHB) infection and therapy with anti-HBV nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) influence the clinical presentation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant infection. In this study, clinical information was collected via a questionnaire from patients with COVID-19, and their clinical symptoms were quantitatively assessed for comparative analyses. Additionally, hepatitis B-related laboratory data were collected for CHB patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize confounding biases. A total of 785 patients with COVID-19 were included in the cohort, of which 387 were identified as being infected with CHB infection and they were categorized as being in the immune control or clearance phase. After PSM, the CHB group (n = 222) had a shorter duration of fever and disease course, milder clinical symptoms, and lower incidence of pneumonia than the non-CHB group (n = 222) after Omicron variant infection (p < 0.05). After the adjustment of confounding factors, CHB patients showed a lower risk of prolonged fever, severe clinical symptoms, and pneumonia (p < 0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the clinical symptoms and incidence of pneumonia between CHB patients who received and did not receive NAs, or CHB patients who received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and entecavir (p > 0.05). In conclusion, our findings suggest that the crosstalk of anti-HBV immunity may contribute to the alleviated symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants infection in the CHB patients, independent of anti-HBV NA therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate and compare the short-term efficacy of domestic mechanical-locked (Clip2Edge) and elastic self-locked (ValveClip) transcranial mitral valve edge-to-edge interventional repair (TEER) devices in the treatment of functional mitral regurgitant valves. Methods: In this retrospective non-randomized comparative study, patients underwent TEER procedure in Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Disease Hospital from May 2022 to April 2023 for heart failure combined with moderate to severe or severe functional mitral valve were divided into Clip2Edge and ValveClip groups based on the TEER system used. Baseline, perioperative, and postoperative 30 d follow-up data were collected and compared between the two groups. The primary outcome was the success rate on the 30 d post operation, while secondary outcomes included immediate postoperative technical success rate and the incidence of all-cause mortality on the 30 d post operation, readmission rate of acute heart failure, cerebral infarction, severe bleeding, and other serious adverse events rates. Results: A total of 60 patients were enrolled, 34 patients were in the Clip2Edge group and 26 in the ValveClip group, mean age was (63.8±9.3) years, and 24 patients (40%) were female. There were no significant differences in baseline data of age, cardiac function, comorbidities, mitral regurgitation 4+(19(73%) vs. 29(85%)), the end-diastolic volume of left ventricle ((220.8±91.2) ml vs. (210.8±71.7) ml) between the two groups (all P>0.05). The technical success rate immediately after the procedure was 100%. There were no readmission of acute heart failure, death, cerebral infarction, severe bleeding, and other serious adverse events up to the 30 d follow-up. Device success rate was similar between the ValveClip group (24 cases (100%)) and the Clip2Edge group (27 cases (96%)) (P>0.05). Conclusion: Both types of novel domestic TEER devices are safe and feasible in treating patients with functional mitral regurgitation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk and influencing factors of long-term mortality of valvular heart disease (VHD) adults aged 35 years and over in Chinese communities. Methods: A cohort study was carried out. The data of the subjects who underwent echocardiography were collected from the Chinese Hypertension Survey between 2012 and 2015 and survival outcomes were followed up between 2018 and 2019. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted and compared using log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the influence of VHD on mortality. Results: During an average follow-up time of (4.6±0.9) years, a total of 23 237 participants (10 881 males and 12 356 females) were pooled into the final analysis from 5 eastern, 5 central, and 4 western provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China, with a mean age of (56.9±13.2) years. Among the included participants, 1 004 had VHD (467 males and 537 females), with a mean age was of (68.1±12.6) years. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, participants with VHD had a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank χ2=351.82, P<0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (log-rank χ2=284.14, P<0.001) compared with those without VHD. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with those without VHD, the participants with rheumatic VHD had a 45% increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.12-1.89) and degenerative VHD increased the risk of cardiovascular mortality by 69% (HR=1.69, 95%CI: 1.19-2.38). The risk factors of cardiovascular mortality for VHD were age 55 years and over (55-<75 years: HR=4.93, 95%CI: 1.17-20.85;≥75 years: HR=11.92, 95%CI: 2.85-49.80) and diabetes mellitus (HR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.00-2.93). Conclusions: VHD is a risk factor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality among adults aged 35 years and over. Age 55 years and over and diabetes mellitus are adverse prognostic factors for patients with VHD.

Abstract
Objective: To analysis the application value of image fusion technology in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: A total of 35 patients underwent trans-femoral TAVI using the first-generation VENUS-A valve in Heart Center of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to May 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, there were 21 males and 14 females, aged from 64 to 81 years, with a mean (SD) of (71.37±5.66) years. They were divided into conventional group (n=22) and fusion group (n=13), according to whether image fusion technology was used during operation. The preoperative general data, intraoperative data, differences of postoperative renal function and residence time in intensive care unit (ICU) were analyzed and compared between the two groups. The postoperative echocardiography and 12 lead ECG were observed. Results: All 35 patients in this study were with severe aortic stenosis, of which, 10 patients were complicated with moderate to severe regurgitation. Compared with the conventional group, the intraoperative fusion group had fewer angiography times [3.0 (3.0, 4.0) vs 5.0 (5.0, 6.0)], X-ray absorbed dose [342.0 (44.5) mGy vs 388.4 (71.0) mGy], and contrast dosage [(73.5±10.5) ml vs (90.3±10.3) ml], and shorter rapid pacing time [(14.0±1.6) seconds vs (16.5±2.0) seconds] (all P<0.05). There was no significant differences in X-ray irradiation time, operation time, sizing of the pre-dilated balloon, valve implantation depth and other indicators (all P>0.05). There was no significant differences in ICU retention time and postoperative renal function (all P>0.05). Postoperative echocardiography showed that the function of aortic valve was good, with mild perivalvular leakage in 2 cases in the conventional group and 1 case in the fusion group; and one patient was implanted with permanent pacemaker after TAVI in the conventional group. Conclusion: Image fusion technology simplifies the TAVI process, shortens the ventricular pacing time and reduces the dosage of X-ray and contrast, and has certain clinical application value.

Abstract
Septal reduction therapies, which include septal myectomy and alcohol septal ablation and so on, are the current treatment strategies for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and drug-refractory symptoms. With the deepening of theoretical understanding and the rapid development of interventional therapies, some researchers have tried to perform transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair to treat high-risk patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including obstructive and non-obstructive. The reported results are relatively satisfactory, but many urgent problems need to be solved, such as the lack of data on animal experiments and large cohort studies, and the unknown medium- and long-term outcomes. However, transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair brings new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. On one hand, it can be used as a monotherapy, on the other hand, it can be combined with novel molecular targeted drug therapy or emerging minimally invasive surgical procedures targeting hypertrophic ventricular septum, which deserves our further attention and exploratory research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The optimal blood pressure (BP) range for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is currently unknown. This study aimed to explore the relationship between stratified BP levels and MAFLD progression. PATIENTS AND METHODS The data of adults who underwent yearly health check-ups were screened to establish both a cross-sectional and a 6-year longitudinal cohort of individuals with MAFLD. BP was classified into the following categories optimal, normal, high-normal, and hypertension. Liver fibrosis was diagnosed with fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score (NFS), and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI). RESULTS A total of 10,232 individuals were included in the cross-sectional cohort. In the MAFLD population, individuals with liver fibrosis had significantly higher BP levels and hypertension prevalence (P < 0.001) than those without. Furthermore, liver fibrosis score was significantly associated with BP levels (P < 0.001). In the 6-year longitudinal cohort of 3661 individuals with MAFLD without liver fibrosis, the incidence rates of liver fibrosis increased with increasing BP levels as follows optimal=11.20%, normal=13.90%, high-normal=19.50%, hypertension=26.20% (log-rank 22.205; P < 0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that both baseline high-normal BP (hazard ratio [HR], 1.820; P=0.019) and hypertension (HR, 2.656; P < 0.001) were predictive of liver fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS BP stratification may be useful in predicting the progression of MAFLD. Individuals having MAFLD with concurrent hypertension or high-normal BP are at a higher risk of liver fibrosis. These findings may provide a criteria for early intervention of MAFLD to prevent liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the current situation of fetal heart defects in Yunnan Province and surrounding high altitude areas and the social factors affecting pregnancy outcome. Methods: This is a retrospective study. Pregnant woman who underwent fetal echocardiography and diagnosed as fetal cardiac defects in Yunnan Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital from June 2017 to January 2021 were included. According to the clinical prognostic risk scoring system and grading criteria of fetal cardiac birth defects, the cases were divided into grade Ⅰ to Ⅳ. The disease distribution and proportion of each prognostic grade, pregnancy outcomes were analyzed and compared. The cases were divided into continued pregnancy group and terminated pregnancy group according to pregnancy outcome. The social factors that may affect the selection of pregnancy outcomes were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 4 929 fetal echocardiography examination data were collected, and 4 464 cases (90.57%) were from Yunnan Province and surrounding high altitude areas. 2 166 cases of heart defects were finally analyzed, including 998 cases of congenital heart disease (CHD), 93 cases of cardiac tumors, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia, 1 075 cases of foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus abnormalities and normal variations. The pregnant women were (29.2±5.0) years old with (25.6±3.8) gestational weeks. The number of cases with prognostic grade from Ⅰ to Ⅳ was 1 037 (47.88%), 620 (28.62%), 314 (14.50%), and 44 (2.03%), respectively. And 151 cases (6.97%) were not classified. The cases of normal variation and thin aortic arch development accounted for 42.66% (924/2 166), 5.22% (113/2 166), respectively. The top 3 diseases of grade Ⅱ were ventricular septal defect, coarctation of aorta and mild-moderate pulmonary stenosis, respectively, and their distribution was 11.63% (252/2 166), 3.92% (85/2 166) and 2.35% (51/2 166) respectively in all cases of heart defects, and 25.25% (252/998), 8.52% (85/998) and 5.11% (51/998) respectively in cases of CHD. Among the cases rated as grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ, most of them were complicated congenital heart disease, and the disease types are scattered. The more common cases in grade Ⅲ were complete transposition of great arteries (accounting for 2.40% (52/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, 5.21% (52/998) of all cases with CHD) and pulmonary artery occlusion (type Ⅰ to Ⅲ) with ventricular septal defect (accounting for 2.17% (47/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, and 4.71% (47/998) of all cases with CHD). In grade Ⅳ, single ventricle (0.74% (16/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, 1.60% (16/998) of all cases with CHD) and left ventricular dysplasia syndrome (0.65% (14/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, 1.40% (14/998) of all cases with CHD) are more common. A total of 1 084 cases were successfully followed up, and 675 cases were born, 392 cases were terminated, spontaneous abortion occurred in 17 cases. The proportion of terminated pregnancy cases was significantly increased from grade Ⅰ to Ⅳ, accounting for 5.24% (21/401), 27.78% (70/252), 89.54% (214/239) and 95.56% (43/45), respectively. Among the terminated pregnancy cases, those with grade Ⅲ accounted for the highest proportion (54.59% (214/392)). The distribution of terminated pregnancy cases was mainly complex congenital malformations or diseases with very poor prognosis (pregnancy outcome grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ), and proportion of terminated pregnancy with pregnancy outcome grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ cases (normal variation or good prognosis) accounted for 5.36% (21/392) and 17.86% (70/392), respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pregnant women with low education (high school and below: OR=2.73, 95%CI 1.26-5.93, P<0.001; illiteracy: OR=3.27, 95%CI 1.29-7.10, P<0.001) and low family income (Annual income<100 000 yuan: OR=2.47, 95%CI 1.69-5.12, P<0.001) were more likely to choose termination of pregnancy in case of fetal heart defect. Conclusion: In Yunnan province and the surrounding high altitude areas, the disease distribution of fetal heart defect is mainly simple or low-risk disease, but the complex malformation, especially the disease with poor pregnancy outcome, accounts for a relative high proportion. Pregnancy termination also occurs in some cases with good pregnancy outcome. The education level and family income of pregnant women may affect their choice of pregnancy outcome in case of fetal heart defect.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the dynamic change of the secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) throughout the cardiac cycle, and assess its impact on occluder selection. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 35 patients with ASD who received electrocardiogram-gated coronary CT angiography (CCTA) throughout the cardiac cycle as well as interventional closure therapy in Fuwai Hospital from December 2016 to December 2019. The raw data were reconstructed into 20 phasic images of RR intervals (RRI) ranging from 0 to 95% in an increment of 5% and transmitted to a workstation for postprocessing. For each phase image, CT virtual endoscopy reconstruction technique (CTVE) was used to provide views of ASD. Axial sequence assisted CT volumetric measurement (CTAS) was used to calculate the maximum dimensions in axial planes (Da) and in superior-inferior direction (Db). Using a formula for converting circumference to diameter, the equivalent circle dimensions were calculated (De, De=minor axis+2 (major axis-minor axis)/3). Taking the data of 75% RRI phase, the patients were divided into Da75%RRI≥Db75%RRI group and Da75%RRI<Db75%RR group. According to the postoperative chest X-ray, the waist diameter of the occluder in the left anterior oblique plain film was measured, and its correction value (CR-PODlaoc) was calculated with the correction formula. Scatter plots of the changes of the mean values of Da, Db and De with the cardiac cycle were presented. The change and ratio of measured values of Da and De at 35% and 75% RRI was calculated. The ratio of De change to Da change in Da75%RRI≥Db75%RRI group and Da75%RRI<Db75%RR group was calculated, respectively, and compared between groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between CR-PODlaoc and De35%RRI and De75%RRI. Results: A total of 35 patients, aged (42.7±15.0) years, including 10 males, were included. Among 35 patients, 8 cases were divided into group Da75%RRI≥Db75%RRI and 27 cases into group Da75%RRI<Db75%RRI. Both Da and Db regularly changed at each phase throughout the cardiac cycle. The Da changed significantly, with a maximum at phase of 35%-45% of RRI, and a minimum between phases of 90% and 0 of RRI. While the Db showed insignificant changes during phases of 10%-90% RRI, and increased at 0-10% of RRI, then reduced in the remaining phases. The change of Da was (6.35±2.46) mm, and the ratio of Da values at 35% and 75% RRI was 0.77±0.08. The change of De was (2.28±1.32) mm, and the ratio of De at 35% and 75% RRI was 0.93±0.05. The ratio of De change to Da change in the Da75%RRI≥Db75%RRI group was 0.67±0.13; while the ratio was 0.34±0.05 in Da75%RRI<Db75%RR group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (P=0.02). CR-PODlaoc was positively correlated with De35% RRI (r=0.99, P<0.001) and De75% RRI (r=0.98, P<0.001). Conclusions: Most secundum ASDs show oval shape with Db>Da. Db is basically constant while Da changes significantly during cardiac cycle (10%-90% RRI). Nonetheless, both values peak and maintain the maximum status at end-systolic phase (35%-45% RRI). For patients with huge ASD, occluder selection should be based on the De at 35% RRI phase, which is helpful for the successful intervention.

Abstract
Plant zinc-finger proteins play a crucial role in biosynthesis and plant development. However, it is not known whether certain zinc-finger proteins play a role in rice chloroplast development. In this study, a novel rice zinc-finger protein mutant asl4 (albino seedling lethality4), which exhibits an albino lethal phenotype at the seedling stage, was used. Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis and TEM were used to investigate features of the asl4 mutant. The genetic behaviour and function of ASL4 gene were then analysed thorough map-based cloning, transgenic complement and subcellular localization. The albino lethal phenotype was caused by a single nucleotide (G*) deletion mutation on the exon of the ASL4 (LOC_Os09g21710) gene. The ASL4 gene encoded a novel zinc-finger protein containing two ZnF-AN1 domains, which was localized to the nucleocytoplasm. The ASL4 transcripts were highly expressed in all leaves but relatively less in other tissues, suggesting its tissue-specific expression. The transcript levels of associated genes for Chl biosynthesis, photosynthesis and chloroplast development were severely suppressed in asl4 mutants. In conclusion, the absence of ASL4 function caused a defect in chloroplast development and seedling lethality. This is the first published report on the importance of the ZnF-AN1 type zinc-finger protein gene in chloroplast development in rice.

Abstract
Objective: To retrospectively analyze the occurrence and treatment of perioperative complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) by transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: A total of 65 patients who underwent TAVI via femoral artery in the Heart Center of Henan People's Hospital from October 2017 to May 2021 were enrolled. Perioperative data of patients were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether complete atrioventricular block was occurred during TAVI: complete atrioventricular block group (Group CAVB) and non-complete atrioventricular block group (Group NCAVB). Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of complete atrioventricular block during transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The incidence of perioperative complications were recorded. Results: The patients age was (69.1±7.3) years old. and there were 35 males and 30 femals. There were 15 patients in group CAVB with complete atrioventricular block and 50 patients in group NCAVB. Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative right bundle branch block [OR (95%CI) vs 3.325 (2.132-13.061), P=0.005] and severe aortic valve calcification [OR (95%CI) vs 1.271 (1.052-3.326), P=0.030] were independent correlative factors for CAVB during TAVI perioperative period. The implantation rate of permanent pacemaker in group CAVB was 73.3% (11 cases), which was higher than 6.0% (3 cases) in group NCAVB (P<0.001). Conclusions: It indicated that preoperative right bundle branch block and severe aortic valve calcification are correlative factors for complete atrioventricular block for TAVI. The implantation rate of permanent pacemaker in complete atrioventricular block group increased significantly.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of narrative therapy on cognition, emotion and treatment satisfaction of convalescent patients with occupational acute chemical toxic encephalopathy. Methods: From June to July 2019, 60 convalescent patients with occupational chemical poisoning encephalopathy were randomly divided into narrative group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine clinical treatment. On the basis of receiving the original clinical treatment, patients in the narrative group added narrative treatment once a week to explain discomfort in specific life situations through conversation from the perspective of disease and psychology. 30 min each time for 6 weeks. The patients were investigated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA scale) every 2 weeks to evaluate the degree of cognitive impairment. The changes of depression, anxiety and treatment satisfaction were investigated before and after intervention. Results: There was no significant difference in MoCA scores between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05) . After 6 weeks of treatment, MoCA scores of narrative group and control group gradually increased with the extension of treatment time, and the increase degree of MoCA score of narrative group was greater than that of control group (P<0.01) . Before intervention, there was no significant difference in depression, anxiety score, prevalence and satisfaction index between narrative group and control group (P>0.05) . After the intervention, the scores and prevalence of depression and anxiety in the narrative group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the scores of feeling in the process of seeing a doctor and how to obtain their own disease information were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Narrative therapy can improve the cognitive function and emotion of patients with occupational chemical poisoning, and improve the treatment satisfaction of patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety, short- and mid-term outcomes of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) guided by the ultrasound. Methods: In this retrospective study, medical data of 15 patients [9 males and 6 females, with an age of (53±13) years] with PBMV under the guidance of ultrasound in Heart Center of Henan Provincial People's Hospital between December 2016 and January 2019 were collected and reviewed. The short-and mid-term outcomes were analyzed. Results: PBMV was successfully performed in all the patients. One patient underwent surgical valve replacement due to severe mitral regurgitation, and the other 14 patients were all followed up successfully. The average follow-up time was (13.8±4.6) months. Comparisons of preoperative and postoperative data showed significant differences in valve area [(1.84±0.43) cm2 vs (0.89±0.24) cm2], left atrial pressure [(11.9±4.5) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs (21.9±6.0) mmHg] and mean mitral valve pressure gradient [(10.9±3.2) mmHg vs (20.1±3.6) mmHg](all P<0.01), with no significant differences in mitral regurgitation area (P=0.67). Postoperative follow-up showed that there were no significant differences in mitral valve area, regurgitation area and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) between short-and mid-term postoperatively (all P>0.05). There was no secondary operation due to mitral stenosis in 14 patients, and 3 patients with moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation showed significant improvement, with gradually recovered cardiac function, and there were no deaths in these patients. Conclusion: PBMV guided by the ultrasound is feasible and effective, and exhibits favorable short-and mid-term outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of transbrachial access for interventional therapy on prosthetic paravalvular leak (PVL) post surgical valve replacement. Methods: This is a retrospective study. Patients with PVL after surgical valve replacement who underwent interventional therapy via the brachial artery approach in Structural heart disease center of Fuwai hospital between August 2017 and October 2019, were included. All patients underwent puncture of the brachial artery under local anesthesia, angiography and transcatheter closure procedure were performed. The procedure was performed under transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance. Baseline data, operation data and pre-and post-operative TTE examination results were collected and analyzed. Postoperative complications were recorded and operational adverse events were obtained during follow up in the outpatient department after discharge. The operation success rate was calculated, which was defined as the degree of perivalvular regurgitation decrease by 1 grade and above according to TTE without interfering the valve movement and coronary artery blood flow within 30 days after occluder placement. Results: A total of 10 patients were enrolled in this study, the mean age was (57.5±14.6) years, and 6 patients were males. There were 7 cases with aortic PVL, and 3 cases with mitral PVL. Except for one patient who was converted to the femoral vein-transseptal approach, the other 9 patients were successfully implanted with the devices via the brachial artery approach. The operation time was (103.3±34.0) minutes, and there was no need for rigorous bed rest after the operation. The median hospital stay was 7.5 (3.0, 9.8) days. The operation success rate was 9/10 via the brachial artery approach. The differences in the degree of perivalvular regurgitation, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, left ventricular end diastolic diameter and left atrial diameter before and after operation were statistically significant (all P<0.05). One case developed new hemolysis with renal insufficiency on the second day after procedure and discharged after successful dialysis. Another case experienced complication of brachial artery pseudoaneurysm after procedure and discharged after successful treatment with thrombin injection. The mean follow-up time was (14.3±7.9) months. During the follow-up, NYHA classification remained as Ⅰ/Ⅱ in 9 patients, no operational adverse events were observed. Conclusions: Transbrachial access for interventional therapy on PVL post surgical valve replacement is a feasible, effective, and safe procedure. It has the advantages of simplifying the operation process and reducing postoperative bed rest time.

Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the reasons of residual partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) after previous cardiac surgery, and summarize the strategies and experience for diagnosis and treatment of secondary correction operation. Methods: The clinical data of 18 patients who were admitted to Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital from June 2009 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent secondary cardiac surgery to treat PAPVC. The preoperative and intraoperative characteristics and postoperative complications of the patients were summarized and analyzed. Results: Totally, there were 7 male and 11 female cases, aged 1-49 years (median age: 4.5 years). In the first cardiac surgery, 3 patients were diagnosed with PAPVC, which existed after surgery. One patient was diagnosed with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), but left PAPVC after surgery. The remaining 14 patients were all missed preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis. After the initial surgery, most patients had no significant symptoms (11/18), but PAPVC was found in 11 cases due to postoperative cardiac murmur or transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). In the secondary surgery, there were 4 cases of type A, 10 cases of type B, 2 cases of type C, no type D, and 2 cases of mixed type, respectively, according to Bordy classification. The diagnostic accuracy of TTE and CT angiography (CTA) was 50.0% and 92.9%, respectively. There was no death after the second surgery, but pulmonary vein occlusion, pericardial effusion, anastomotic stenosis and other complications occurred in 4 patients. Conclusions: The main causes of missed diagnosis of PAPVC are the undefined cardiac structural deformities before operation and the lack of careful exploration during the operation. TTE is simple and feasible to diagnose PAPVC, and it can improve the diagnostic accuracy when combined with CTA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) testing for the surveillance, diagnosis, and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial. Here, we compared AFP testing rates, elevated AFP rates, factors associated with elevated AFP levels, and prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) in HCC patients from different ethnic groups. METHODS Patients with HCC were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries. Race was categorized as white, black, and others. AFP testing rates and elevated AFP rates were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent factors associated with elevated AFP levels and prognosis, respectively. All statistical tests were two sided. RESULTS A proportion of 79.2% of total HCC patients had AFP testing reports; 77.3% of white, 79.7% of black, and 81.2% of other races underwent AFP testing. Compared with white and other races, black HCC patients had a higher rate of elevated AFP levels among all patients and the early-stage HCC patient cohort. Elevated AFP level was a significant prognostic factor for all HCC patients in different race groups. Factors associated with elevated AFP level and prognostic factors associated with OS varied significantly by race. CONCLUSIONS AFP testing, elevated AFP rates, predictors of elevated AFP level, and prognostic factors associated with OS differed significantly according to race after adjusting for AFP levels among the three groups. AFP testing for the surveillance, diagnosis, and prognosis of HCC patients is strongly recommended, although racial disparities need to be considered.

Methods: From September 2015 to June 2017, 21 children with combined congenital heart abnormality undergoing percutaneous interventional guided by TTE in Fuwai hospital were enrolled in our study, and the clinical data were retrospective analyzed. The atrial septal defect(ASD) closure, ventricular septal defect(VSD) closure, patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) closure or balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty were performed under the guidance of TTE. The procedural effect was evaluated by TTE after operation. The patients were followed up after discharged from the hospital. Results: The age was (37.3±11.6) months, and there were 9 male and 12 female patients. There were 4 cases with ASD and VSD, 6 cases with VSD and PDA, 6 cases with ASD and PDA, 2 cases with VSD and pulmonary stenosis, 3 cases with ASD and pulmonary stenosis. The operations were successfully performed in all patients. No one required extra X ray guidance or open heart surgery. The operation time was (44.6±7.5)min. All patients did not require blood transfusion, inotropic support, and analgesia. There were no complications such as peripheral vascular injury and pericardialeffusion after the operation. The length of hospital stay time was (3.5±0.6) days. All patients were recovered well. The follow-up was (17.6±5.2) months, and post-procedural conduction disturbances, residual shunts, occlude fall off, thrombosis, and new onset of valvular regurgitation were not observed in these patients. Conclusion: Percutaneous interventional of children with combined congenital heart abnormality solely guided by TTE is safe and effective, and the procedure can avoid the potential injuries of X ray and contrast agent.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure under solely guidance of echocardiography and fluoroscopy. Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at Fuwai Hospital, between February 2014 and February 2015. The patients were divided into two groups. VSD closure was conducted in 42 patients under solely guidance of echocardiography, and 100 patients who were treated with percutaneous catheter closure under fluoroscopy guidance were selected as a control group. The baseline characteristics, procedural time and complications were recorded and assessed. Results: There were no significant differences in terms of age, gender and pre-operative echocardiographic characteristics (all P>0.05). Percutaneous VSD closure under traditional fluoroscopy guidance was successful in 95 patients (95%). The procedural time was (54.7±12.5) minutes. The symmetrical occluders diameter was (6.9±1.8) mm. Four patients had postoperative residual shunt, one patient developed left bundle branch block, and 6 patients developed new tricuspid regurgitation. Percutaneous VSD closure under only transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance was successful in 39 patients (93%). Because of delivery catheter passage failure through the defect, one case required conversion to perventricular closure via a small transthoracic incision under transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance. The other two cases underwent surgical repair because of residual shunt with more than 2 mm after closure. The procedural time was (40.3±13.2) minutes. The symmetrical occluders diameter was (6.5±1.2) mm. Four patients had postoperative residual shunt that disappeared after 1 month follow-up, and one patient developed right bundle branch block which disappeared 3 days later. During (9.3±3.6) months follow-up, there were no other complications, such as pericardial effusion, occluder malposition, atrioventricular block, aortic valve regurgitation, and aggravating tricuspid regurgitation in each group. However, the total operation time, diameter of VSD occluder, total mild complications, and the equipment cost in the study group were less than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Percutaneous VSD closure can be successfully performed under sole guidance of echocardiography with outcomes similar to those achieved with fluoroscopy guidance.

Abstract
Sheath blight (SB), caused by Rhizoctonia solani, is one of the most destructive rice diseases worldwide. It has been difficult to generate SB-resistant varieties through conventional breeding because of the quantitative nature of rice resistance to SB. In this study, we found that overexpression of the OsOSM1 gene, encoding an osmotin protein belonging to the pathogenesis-related protein 5 family, is able to improve rice resistance to SB in field tests. Although there are two osmotin genes in rice, OsOSM1 is the one mainly expressed in leaf sheath at the booting stage, coinciding with the critical stage of SB development in the field. In addition, OsOSM1 expression is strongly induced by R. solani in SB-resistant rice variety YSBR1 but not in susceptible varieties, suggesting its involvement in SB resistance. Overexpression of OsOSM1 (OsOSM1ox) in susceptible variety Xudao 3 significantly increases resistance to SB in transgenic rice. The OsOSM1 mRNA levels in different transgenic lines are found to be positively correlated with their SB resistance levels. Intriguingly, although extremely high levels of OsOSM1 were detrimental to rice development, appropriately elevated levels of OsSOM1 were obtained that enhanced rice SB resistance without affecting rice development or grain yield. The OsSOM1 protein is localized on plasma membrane. OsOSM1 is upregulated by jasmonic acid (JA); furthermore, JA-responsive marker genes are induced in OsOSM1ox lines. These results suggest that the activation of JA signaling pathway may account for the increased resistance in transgenic OsOSM1ox lines. Taken together, our results demonstrate that OsOSM1 plays an important role in defense against rice SB disease and provides a new target for engineering resistance to SB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of retrograde transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects (VSD) under trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE). METHODS Twelve patients with VSD, with 4 residual shunt, treated by transcatheter VSD closure under solely guidance of TEE were summarized. Mean age, body weight and average diameter of VSD in 12 cases were (11.58±6.57) years, (31.85±13.28) kg, (5.50±2.20) mm, respectively. All patients were treated by retrograde transcatheter closure under solely guidance of TEE. The post-operative efficiency was estimated by TEE immediately. Patients were followed up by echocardiography, X-ray examination and electrocardiogram at 24 hours, 1, 3 and 6 months after the procedures. RESULTS All 12 patients were treated successfully under solely guidance of TEE. The diameter of devices were 5-14 mm. There were 1 case with trivial residual shunt after the procedures immediately. No patients suffered from residual shunt, occluder malposition, peripheral vascular injury and pericardial effusion during the follow-up. CONCLUSION Percutaneous transcatheter closure of VSD completely guided by TEE is safe and effective. This method could avoid the radiation and contrast media reaction, and also could simplify the procedure.

Abstract
Casein kinase 2 interacting protein 1 (CKIP1) is a specific interacting protein of the casein kinase 2 (CK2) α subunit, and, by binding CK2 and other proteins, functions as an adaptor to regulate a series of cellular functions. Previous studies suggested that CKIP1 might play an important role in regulating oncogenic activities. However, few studies examining the function of CKIP1 in cancer cells have been performed. The present study aimed to investigate the role of CKIP1 in lung cancer. CKIP1 mRNA expression was detected in 5 human lung cancer cell lines (H-125, H1299, LTEP-A-2, SPC-A-1, and NCL-H446) by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, and in 10 noncancerous lung tissues and 30 non-small lung cancer tissues by real-time quantitative PCR. A lentivirus-mediated small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down CKIP1 expression in the H1299 cell line. To elucidate the impact of CKIP1 downregulation on H1299 cells, cell proliferation, DNA synthesis, and cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were measured by high content screening assay, BrdU incorporation, and flow cytometric analyses, respectively. CKIP1 mRNA was highly expressed both in H1299 cells and lung cancer tissues. We found that downregulation of CKIP1 resulted in suppression of proliferation and colony-forming ability of H1299 cells, and led to S phase cell cycle arrest and G2 phase promotion, as well as a significant enhancement of H1299 cell apoptosis. Our study indicated that high expression levels of CKIP1 were associated with the development of lung cancer, and that CKIP1 knockdown may block tumor cell growth mainly by promoting cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Sheath blight (SB), caused by Rhizoctonia solani, is one of the worst rice (Orzya sativa) diseases worldwide. Resistance to the SB disease in rice is a complex trait controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Through map integration, we found several previously identified SB resistance (SBR) QTLs reported in inconsistent regions on the long arm of chromosome 9. Five of them were detected on 'Jasmine 85' (J85), 'Minghui 63' (MH63), and 'Lemont' (LMNT) rice and were designated qSB-9J85-1, qSB-9J85-2, qSB-9MH63-1, qSB-9MH63-2, and qSB-9LMNT, respectively, in the present study. To further verify and physically map the five potential SBR QTLs, we introduced these SBR QTLs into a common susceptible variety (LMNT) and developed a few chromosomal segment substitution lines through marker-assisted selection. After artificial inoculation with the SB fungus, we were able to validate qSB-9J85-2 but not the other four SBR QTLs; whereas, on MH63, an SBR QTL designated qSB-9MH63-3 was confirmed in the region defined by markers Y83 and Y91.8 that included qSB-9J85-2, covering approximately 1,235 kb. Both qSB-9J85-2 and qSB-9MH63-3 appeared to be dominant resistance genes and contributed to similar levels to SB resistance, reducing SB disease severity by approximately 1.0 on a 0-to-9 SB disease rating system. After comparing with another confirmed SBR QTL (qSB-9TQ) from 'Teqing' rice (TQ), we conclude that qSB-9J85-2, qSB-9MH63-3, and qSB-9TQ are probably controlled by the same allelic resistance genes. These results will accelerate the utilization of this major SBR QTL and its map-based cloning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of norovirus G II.4/Sydney 2012 variants, in China. METHODS Twenty-two stool specimens, confirmed as G II.4/Sydney 2012- positive were collected from Beijing in the winter of 2012-2013. RT-PCR was performed to target the complete capsid gene. G II.4/Sydney 2012 strains from other regions in China were searched and obtained from the GenBank. Nucleotide and amino acid sequences of G II.4/Sydney 2012 strains were analyzed, using the CLUSTAL X(Version 1.83)and followed by phylogenetic analysis using Mega version 5.1. RESULTS The complete major capsid nucleotide sequences of thirty-eight G II.4/ Sydney 2012 strains from seven regions in China were obtained. The VP1 nucleotide and amino acid sequences diversity were 0.1%-3.3% and 0-3.1%, respectively. Result from phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the G II.4/Sydney 2012 variant shared a common ancestor with both the dominant norovirus G II.4 variants Apeldoorn 2008 and the New Orleans 2009. G II.4/Sydney 2012 variants appeared to have had two A/D/E site combinations at the amino acid level, TSRN-GTT-SNT and TSRN-STT-SNT. CONCLUSION G II.4/Sydney 2012 variant had been circulating in many regions in China. There seemed a high nucleotide and amino acid identity among G II.4/Sydney 2012 strains collected from China. G II.4/Sydney 2012 variants showed different A/D/E site combination from other pandemic G II.4 variants.

Abstract
It has been reported that monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to the E1E2 glycoproteins may have the potential to prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The protective epitopes targeted by these MAbs have been mapped to the regionsencompassing amino acids 313–327 and 432–443. In this study, we synthesized these two peptides and tested the reactivity of serum samples from 336 patients, 210 of whichwere from Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) patients infected with diverse HCV genotypes.The remaining 126 samples were isolated from patients who had spontaneously clearedHCV infection.In the chronic HCV-infected group (CHC group), the prevalence of human serum antibodies reactive to epitopes 313–327 and 432–443was 24.29%(51 of 210) and4.76%(10 of 210),respectively. In thespontaneousclearance group (SC group),the prevalence was 0.79%(1 of 126) and 12.70%(16 of 126), respectively.The positive serum samples that contained antibodies reactive to epitope 313–327 neutralizedHCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) bearing the envelope glycoproteins of genotypes 1a or 1b and/or 4, but genotypes 2a, 3a, 5 and 6 were not neutralized. The neutralizing activity of these serum samples could not be inhibited by peptide 313–327. Six samples (SC17, SC38, SC86, SC92, CHC75 and CHC198) containing antibodies reactive to epitope 432–443 had cross-genotype neutralizing activities. Theneutralizing activityof SC38, SC86, SC92 and CHC75waspartiallyinhibited by peptide 432–443. However,the neutralizing activity of sample SC17 for genotype 4HCVpp and sample CHC198 for genotype 1b HCVppwere notinhibited by the peptide.This study identifies the neutralizing ability of endogenous anti-HCV antibodies and warrants the exploration of antibodies reactive to epitope432–443as sources for future antibody therapies.

Abstract
Cellular α-glucosidases I and II are enzymes that sequentially trim the three terminal glucoses in the N-linked oligosaccharides of viral envelope glycoproteins. This process is essential for the proper folding of viral glycoproteins and subsequent assembly of many enveloped viruses, including dengue virus (DENV). Imino sugars are substrate mimics of α-glucosidases I and II. In this report, we show that two oxygenated alkyl imino sugar derivatives, CM-9-78 and CM-10-18, are potent inhibitors of both α-glucosidases I and II in vitro and in treated animals, and efficiently inhibit DENV infection of cultured human cells. Pharmacokinetic studies reveal that both compounds are well tolerated at doses up to 100mg/kg in rats and have favorable pharmacokinetic properties and bioavailability in mice. Moreover, we showed that oral administration of either CM-9-78 or CM-10-18 reduces the peak viremia of DENV in mice. Interestingly, while treatment of DENV infected mice with ribavirin alone did not reduce the viremia, combination therapy of ribavirin with sub-effective dose of CM-10-18 demonstrated a significantly enhanced antiviral activity, as indicated by a profound reduction of the viremia. Our findings thus suggest that combination therapy of two broad-spectrum antiviral agents may provide a practically useful approach for the treatment of DENV infection.

Abstract
To understand the physiological mechanism that confers Cd sensitivity/tolerance, Cd uptake and translocation by Cd-sensitive mutant and wild-type rice seedlings were characterized using radioactive tracer. Time-dependent Cd accumulation during 210 min was 1.8-fold higher in roots of the mutant than of wild-type rice. The kinetics of Cd uptake showed that two processes were involved: a first, fast, probably passive process and a second, slower, possibly physiological process. After 96 h, more Cd was translocated to the shoot of mutant compared with wild-type rice. Low temperature (2 degrees C), carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited Cd accumulation to a greater extent in mutant than wild-type rice, suggesting that metabolism plays a more important role in Cd uptake for the rice mutant. Cd uptake into the symplasm is linked to Ca2+ transport, as revealed by the inhibition of Cd accumulation by La and high Ca by equal percentages in both mutant and wild-type rice. Cd uptake and root-to-shoot translocation in the mutant were inhibited more markedly by Zn and Mn than in wild-type rice. This indicates that transport sites other than entry into the root symplasm are also stimulated in the mutant. The results suggest that enhanced absorption into the root and further accumulation in the shoot is one of the mechanisms involved in Cd accumulation and sensitivity, and the difference in Cd uptake and root-to-shoot translocation between mutant and wild-type rice may be mediated partly by energy supply and transporters for Zn and Mn.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The hepatitis B virus core protein has been found in nuclei, cytoplasm, or both of hepatocytes transfected with HBV DNA. It is still unclear whether intact core particles could pass through nuclear pores and what could be the mechanism regulating the subcellular localization of the core protein. This study on the distribution of core protein in hepatocytes and its translocation has a potential advantage to learn more about the HBV life cycle. METHODS Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO, 2%), which effects hepatic differentiation, and/or 1 micro mol/L heteroaryldihydropyrimidine Bay41-4109, which interferes with the assembly of core particles, were added into HepG2.2.15 cell culture system for 4 days. The hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) and hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) were stained with fluorescent immunocytochemistry and then observed under a confocal microscope. HBcAg in cytoplasm and nuclei were respectively extracted and analyzed using Western blot. HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) was detected by using selective PCR method. RESULTS The HBcAg was mostly expressed in the cytoplasm and weak signals of cccDNA were detected in the control HepG2.2.15 cells. After DMSO treatment, the expression of HBcAg in cytoplasm was increased about 2.5-fold; the expression of HBcAg and cccDNA in nuclei also increased. With the use of Bay41-4109, the signal of HBcAg in cytoplasm decreased 2/3, but it increased in the nuclei, and cccDNA decreased in the nuclei. When the HepG2.2.15 cells were treated both with DMSO and Bay41-4109, cord-liked distribution of HBsAg was observed in the cytoplasm. HBcAg in cytoplasm was decreased 1/2 but the HBcAg in the nuclei increased about 5-fold, whereas the cccDNA was almost negative. CONCLUSION In HepG2.2.15 cells, the core protein is mainly assembled as a formation of core particles in the cytoplasm and they are blocked by the nuclear membrane. Bay41-4109 interferes with the assembly of core particles and the dissociated core proteins are able to enter the nuclei. DMSO promotes the nuclear entry of core protein/core particles and facilitates the formation of cccDNA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present aimed to observe the effect of phosphatase inhibitor cyclosporine A on the subcellular location and on expression of HBcAg in HepG2.2.15 cells. METHODS Thirty micrograms/ml of cyclosporine A (CSA) was added into HepG2.2.15 cell culture system and on days 2 and 4 HBcAg and HBsAg were respectively stained with fluorescent immunocytochemistry and observed under confocal microscope. Cell apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labelling method. RESULTS HBcAg was mostly expressed in cytoplasm in the control HepG2.2.15 cells. After 2 days CSA administration of the expression of HBcAg and HBsAg in cytoplasm significantly decreased and the signals of HBcAg in nucleus increased , whereas the HBcAg was still mainly expressed in nucleus in about 1/4 of the cells. Cell apoptosis was observed in about 30% of the cells. CONCLUSION CSA improves the nuclear entry of core protein. The increase of HBcAg in nucleus was likely to be related with it's phosphorylation and cell aging or apoptosis.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is currently still a worldwide heath concern. In our study, we compared HBV replication patterns in two liver-derived cell lines, QSG-7701 and HepG2. Viral markers of HBV replication in culture medium and cells were analyzed after transfection of these cells with plasmid pUC18-HBV1.2 into. We showed that QSG-7701 cells could support more stable and a higher level of HBV replication than HepG2 cells. Gene expression profiles of QSG-7701 and HepG2 cells by microarray analysis showed that many genes were differentially expressed between these two cell lines, including those that are related to the HBV life cycle. The global gene expression profile of these two cell types provides some clues to explain how different HBV replication is achieved. QSG-7701 cells offer a new opportunity for basic research on HBV virus-host interactions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To gain some insights into the critical events relating to HBV transcriptional regulation by comparing HBV replicative characteristics in different cell lines. METHODS Hepatic cell lines QSG-7701 and HepG2 were transfected with plasmid PUC18-HBV 1.2 by standard calcium phosphate precipitation method, and 1.0 microg pSEAP2-control vector was included in the transfection procedures to serve as an internal control monitoring the transfection efficiency. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the medium was detected by ELISA method and HBV DNA was quantitated using fluorescent quantitative PCR. The intracellular HBsAg and HBcAg were detected with immunofluorescent staining. The gene expression profiles of QSG-7701 and HepG2 were compared using oligonucleotide microarray; partial differentially expressed genes were verified with quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS In the medium of the cultured HepG2 cells, HBsAg and HBV DNA could be detected 6 days after the transfection, whereas in QSG-7701 cells, the HBsAg and HBV DNA could be detected for 2 weeks. The HBV DNA in the culture medium of QSG-7701 was about 50 times more than that of the HepG2 cells which were kept in 1 x 10(7)copies/ml(-3) x 10(7)copies/ml for 0 to 10 days after the transfection. On the 4th day after the transfection, 20% to 30% of the QSG-7701 cells were positive with HBsAg and HBcAg immunofluorescent staining. The gene microarray analysis showed that most transcription factors involved with HBV life cycle in QSG-7701 and HepG2 cells had similar levels, whereas some factors involved with HBV transcriptional regulation and core particle disassembly, such as interleukin-6 (R=5.1340), retinoid X receptor, alpha (R=5.1268), hepatic leukemia factor (R=3.2538), serine protease PRRS23 (R=2.8356), hepatitis B virus x interacting protein (R=0.4939), serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (R=0.0740) and matrix metalloproteinase 3 (negative in QSG-7701) were all differentially expressed by HepG2 cells. CONCLUSION Different than HepG2 cells, the QSG-7701 cells could support a high level and relatively stable HBV replication after HBV DNA transient transfection. The HBV core particles were probably recycled in the QSG-7701 cells. The differential gene expressions between QSG-7701 and HepG2 might explain the mechanism of the different HBV replication patterns. Hepatic cell line QSG-7701 might serve as a useful tool for HBV transcriptional regulation research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND On the basis of the recently recognized potential of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to give rise to hepatocytes, we investigated the possibility that HSC could be mobilized and home to the injured liver promoting tissue repair after 50% partial orthotopic liver transplantation (PLTx) in the rat. METHODS Using sex-mismatched (female to male) syngeneic SD rats, we performed 50% PLTx or whole orthotopic liver transplantation (WLTx) versus 50% partial hepatectomy (PHx) and sham operation (O). Elements with stem cell markers were detected in peripheral blood (PB) and in the liver. Liver injury and regeneration were estimated. The sex-determining region for Y chromosome gene (SRY) was used to define cell origin by in situ hybridization in liver sections. RESULTS Comparison of WLTx and PHx groups showed a lower survival rate (50%), in the PLTx group were (P<.05). Further, the liver injury was more serious and the levels of serum biochemical parameters were higher. Compared with PHx groups, on days 3 and 5 postoperatively, the mitosis index and the expression of PCNA were lower among the PLTx groups. Compared with WLTx and sham operation groups, beta2m-/Thy-1.1+, CD34+ cells in PB in PLTx groups and PHx were increased on day 1 postoperatively and decreased on the following days. Compared with PHx groups, beta2m-/Thy-1.1+, CD34+ cells were higher in PLTx. The CD34-, c-kit-, and Thy-1.1-positive cells detected in portal tract areas peaked during 3 to 5 days postoperatively in PLTx. Few SRY+ cells were detected in PLTx liver grafts. CONCLUSIONS beta2m-/Thy-1.1+ and CD34+ stem cells mobilized after PLTx and PHx may be related to the reduced-size liver. Few HSC are involved in liver regeneration in PLTx.

Abstract
On the basis of the recently recognized potential of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to give rise to hepatocytes, we investigated whether HSCs mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or G-CSF per se could contribute to faster recovery and promote tissue reparation after rats' (cross-sex) partial orthotopic liver transplantation (PLTx). Sex-mismatched (female to male) syngeneic rat PLTx was established. The recipients were repeatedly administrated recombinant G-CSF for 5 consecutive days before (G-CSF + PLTx group) and after PLTx (PLTx + G-CSF group). Compared with those in PLTx group, CD34+ cells in peripheral blood and portal tract region increased from day 1 to 7 after transplantation in G-CSF + PLTx group and from day 3 to 14 after transplantation in PLTx + G-CSF group, respectively, which suggested that CD34+ HSCs were mobilized and migrated into liver graft. Compared with that in G-CSF + PLTx and PLTx groups, there was a higher survival rate in the PLTx + G-CSF group. On day 3 after surgery, the level of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were lower, whereas the mitosis index, proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive nuclei, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation, and graft-to-recipient weight ratio were higher in the PLTx + G-CSF group. In contrast, these parameters had no significant difference between G-CSF + PLTx and PLTx groups. To define the origin of proliferating cells reconstituting liver after injury, sry+ (sex-determining region for Y chromosome) and sry+/cytokeratin 19+ (CK19) cells were quantitated. Higher percentage of sry+ and sry+/CK19+ cells in PLTx + G-CSF was detected than in G-CSF + PLTx groups on day 14 after surgery, although the liver engraftment rate still remained rather low. Some of the sry+/CK19+ cells in the portal tract areas were similar to hepatic oval cells/cholangiocytes. In conclusion, G-CSF administration after PLTx greatly improved survival rate and liver regeneration of partial graft, partly by its mobilizing HSCs into the injured liver to differentiate into hepatocytes through hepatic oval cells'/cholangiocytes' engraftment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized autologous bone marrow stem cells on the liver regeneration of partial liver transplant. METHODS A 50% partial liver transplantation model as established by transplanting parts of the liver of female rats to the male rats with the equal weights that had had parts of their livers resected. Then the transplanted male rats were randomly divided into 3 equal groups: G-CSF + PLTx group that was injected hypodermically with recombinant human G-CSF (rhG-CSF) daily for 5 days and then underwent liver resection and 50% partial liver transplantation (PLTx); PLTx + G-CSF group that underwent PLTx and 3 hours after the transplantation received injection of rhG-CSF daily for 5 days, and PLTx control group that underwent PLTx and 3 hours later received injection of normal saline daily for 5 days. One, 3, 5, 7, and 14 days after the PLTx blood samples and livers were collected from 6 rats from each group, and one hour before the liver was taken bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was injected intraperitoneally to be integrated into the synthesis of DNA in the liver cells. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the CD34 and BrdU-positive cells. In situ hybridization was used to detect the sry (sex-determining region) gene so as to determine the origin of the proliferating cells in the transplanted liver. RESULTS The 14-day survival rate of the G-CSF + PLTx group was 90%, significantly higher than those of the G-CSF + PLTx (60%) and PLTx group (50%) (both P < 0.05) with a significant difference between the latter 2 groups too (P < 0.05). The mitosis index of liver cells 3 days after the transplantation of the PLTx + G-CSF group was 30% +/- 5%, significantly higher than those of the G-CSF + PLTx group (24% +/- 7%) and PLTx group (24% +/- 6%) (both P < 0.05) without a significant difference between the latter 2 groups. The rate of BrdU-positive cells of the PLTx + G-CSF group was 42% +/- 6%, significantly higher than those of the G-CSF + PLTx group (38% +/- 4%) and PLTx group (34% +/- 8%) (both P < 0.05). The transplantation the mitosis index and rate of BrdU-positive cells decreased since the 7th days after transplantation in all 3 groups, however, with the same relationship among them. The numbers of CD34(+) cell around the portal area of the 2 G-CSF groups increased since the 3rd day after transplantation in comparison with the PLTx group, was the highest on the 3rd day for the G-CSF + PLTx group, and continued to increase in the PLTx + G-CSF group. Since the 3rd day after transplantation, sry-positive cells were seen in the hepatic sinusoid and portal area in the 2 G-CSF groups, and were rarely seen in the PLTx group. CONCLUSION G-CSF treatment after 50% PLTx significantly promotes liver regeneration and ameliorates the liver damage, thus raising the survival rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of stem cell mobilization on regeneration of partially grafted livers. METHODS Rats models with cross-sex 50% PLTx (partial liver transplantation) were established. The rats were divided into three groups: PLTx, WLTx (whole liver transplantation) and sham operation groups. Bone marrow and liver samples were collected on days 1, 3, 5, 7 postoperatively (each n = 6). The quantitative variations of the cells with stem cell markers in the bone marrow, including beta2m-/Thy-1.1+, CD45+/CD34+, Flt2/3+ and c-kit+ markers, were detected using flow cytometry. Sry gene positive cells in donor livers were detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and the expressions of CD34, c-kit and Thy-1.1 were detected by immunohistochemistry technique. RESULTS Compared with the WLTx and sham operation groups, beta2m-/Thy-1.1+, CD45+/CD34+ cells in bone marrows in the PLTx group increased on the first postoperative day and decreased on the following days. The CD34, c-kit and Thy-1.1 positive cells detected in portal tract areas peaked during the 3-5 postoperative days. CD34+/CD45+ positive cells could be detected. The expressions of CD34, c-kit and Thy-1.1 positive cells were rare in the WLTx and sham operation groups. Sry+ cells could be detected in portal tract areas and few Sry+/CD34+ and Sry+/Thy-1.1+cells were detected. CONCLUSION In the PLTx group, the stem cells in the bone marrow were mobilized and stem cells in the liver were activated.

Abstract
A new rice semidwarfing gene which is not allelic tosd1, temporarily designated assdg, might be of use as a new source of semidwarfism in rice breeding programs. We report here the identification of a DNA marker closely linked to this gene. The DNA marker was identified by testing 120 mapped rice RFLP makers as hybridization probes for Southern analysis of a pair of nearly isogenic lines with or withoutsdg. Linkage association of the marker with the gene was verified using a F2 population segregating for semidwarfism. RFLP analysis showed thatsdg is closely linked to a single-copy DNA clone RZ182 on chromosome 5, with a distance of 4.3 centiMorgans between them. This marker may facilitate early selection for the semidwarfing gene in rice breeding programs.
