Abstract
We report a multicenter, phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy of pucotenlimab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in patients with mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors, and potential biomarkers for response. Overall, 100 patients with previously treated, advanced solid tumors centrally confirmed as dMMR or MSI-H received pucotenlimab at 200 mg every 3 weeks. The most common cancer type is colorectal cancer (n = 71). With a median follow-up of 22.5 months, the objective response rate is 49.0% (95% confidence interval 38.86%-59.20%) as assessed by the independent review committee, while the median progression-free survival and overall survival have not been reached. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events were observed in 18 patients. For the biomarker analysis, responders are enriched in patients with mutations in the KMT2D gene. Pucotenlimab is an effective treatment option for previously treated advanced dMMR/MSI-H solid tumors, and the predictive value of KMT2D mutation warrants further research. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03704246.

Abstract
799 Background: Pucotenlimab is a humanized IgG4 anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody with an engineered Fc domain. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of pucotenlimab, and potential predictive biomarkers of response in patients with previously treated advanced microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) solid tumors. Methods: In this single-arm, multi-center, phase 2 study, eligible patients had locally advanced or metastatic, centrally confirmed MSI-H or dMMR solid tumors treated with at least one prior systemic therapy. Patients received pucotenlimab 200mg every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) assessed by the independent review committee (IRC) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Besides, patients’ PD-L1 expression, blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), germline HLA-I genotyping, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of HLA-I genes, tumor mutational burden (TMB), and genetic alterations in the tumor revealed by next-generation sequencing were investigated to identify potential predictors of efficacy. Results: 100 patients with MSI-H or dMMR solid tumors were enrolled. Colorectal cancer (n=71) and gastric cancer (n=10) were the most common cancer types. The median follow-up duration was 22.5 months (range: 0.3-37.4) at data cutoff (December 4, 2021). The ORR was 49.0% (95% CI 38.86%-59.20%), and the 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 56.1% (95% CI 45.63%-65.24%) based on IRC’s assessment. Both the median PFS and median duration of response were not reached. Pucotenlimab was well tolerated. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 18 patients, most commonly anemia, leukocytopenia, and hypertension. For the biomarker analysis, patients with NLR <4 at the second treatment cycle, TMB≥32.5 muts/Mb (the lower 35th TMB-percentile), or mutations in the KMT2D gene showed significantly higher ORR. Conclusions: Pucotenlimab demonstrated durable antitumor activity and manageable safety for previously treated patients with advanced MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors. KMT2D gene mutation, along with NLR and TMB, warrants further investigation as predictive biomarkers. Clinical trial information: NCT03704246 .

Abstract
First-line systemic therapeutic options for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are limited. In this multicenter, double-blind phase 3 trial, a total of 551 patients with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic ESCC and PD-L1 combined positive score of ≥1 were randomized (2:1) to receive serplulimab (an anti-PD-1 antibody; 3 mg/kg) or placebo (on day 1), plus cisplatin (50 mg/m2) (on day 1) and continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (1,200 mg/m2) (on days 1 and 2), once every 2 weeks. The study met the primary endpoints. At the prespecified final analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by the blinded independent radiological review committee, serplulimab plus chemotherapy significantly improved PFS compared with placebo plus chemotherapy (median PFS of 5.8 months and 5.3 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.60; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-0.75; P < 0.0001). At the prespecified interim analysis of overall survival (OS), serplulimab plus chemotherapy also significantly prolonged OS compared with placebo plus chemotherapy (median OS of 15.3 months and 11.8 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% confidence interval, 0.53-0.87; P = 0.0020). Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events occurred in 201 (53%) and 81 (48%) patients in the serplulimab plus chemotherapy group and the placebo plus chemotherapy group, respectively. Serplulimab plus chemotherapy administered every 2 weeks significantly improved PFS and OS in patients with previously untreated, PD-L1-positive advanced ESCC, with a manageable safety profile. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov ( NCT03958890 ).

Abstract
2572 Background: The subsequent treatment choices are limited for the patients with advanced solid tumors who had failed the standard therapies. PD-1 blockade monotherapy demonstrated robust antitumor activity in patients with MSI-H/dMMR. The aim of this study is to identify the efficacy and safety of HX008, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with advanced MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors. Methods: Eligible patients were age ≥18 years with histologically/cytologically confirmed advanced MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors, who have failed at least one line of standard systemic therapy. MSI-H/dMMR status was assessed centrally. Patients received HX008 200 mg once every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal. Radiologic imaging was performed 9 weeks after the first treatment, then every 6 weeks for the first year of therapy, and every 12 weeks thereafter. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST1.1. Results: One hundred patients were enrolled from October 2018 to December 2020, with a median age of 53 (range 20-74) years. All of the patients were ≥ second-line patients. The most common cancer types were colorectal cancer (N=74) and gastric cancer (N=10). Median follow-up is 8.97 (range 0.03-25.53) months at the time of data cutoff. Among 86 patients who had reached the initial response evaluation, there were 8 CR, 33 PR, 24 SD, 17 PD and 4 NE. ORR was 47.67% (95%CI 36.79%-58.73%), and DCR was 75.58% (95%CI 65.13%-84.20%). ORR and DCR for the 66 colorectal cancer patients were 50% (95%CI 37.43-62.57%) and 75.76% (95%CI 63.64-85.46%). Median PFS was not reached (95%CI 6.18-NR) for all enrolled patients, while the 6-month and 12-month PFS rates were 62.66% (95%CI 50.98%-72.31%) and 52.70% (95%CI 39.96%-63.94%), respectively. Median OS was not reached. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 77 patients (77%). Twelve patients (12%) had grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events and there were no grade 5 treatment-related adverse events. The grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events with incidence >1% included anemia (2%) and leukopenia (2%). Immune-related adverse events were observed in 15 patients (15%), including hypothyroidism in 9 patients (all were grade 1-2), and hepatitis, hyperglycemia, myocarditis, creatin kinase/creatin kinase MB increased, hypopigmentation of the vulva, rash, each in 1 patient. Conclusions: HX008 as a ≥second-line therapy showed promising efficacy and a manageable safety profile in patients with MSI-H/dMMR advanced solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT03704246.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irinotecan is used as second-line treatment in advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer. The role of anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody plus irinotecan, in this setting and population is unclear. METHODS This multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II trial was conducted in 11 Chinese hospitals. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed advanced G/GEJ cancer that refractory to, or intolerant of, first-line chemotherapy with a platinum and/or fluoropyrimidine. Subjects received HX008 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks plus irinotecan 160 mg/m2 intravenously every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) as assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors V.1.1. RESULTS Between October 2018 and September 2019, a total of 58 patients with advanced G/GEJ cancer were enrolled in this study. Median follow-up was 10.5 months (range 7.4-18.9) months. Confirmed ORR was observed in 16 patients, for an ORR of 27.6% (95% CI 16.1% to 39.1%); 19 patients experienced stable disease, leading to a disease control rate of 60.3% (95% CI 46.4% to 73.0%). ORR in patients with PD-ligand 1 (L1) positive (Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1) and negative (CPS<1) tumors was 38.5% (5/13) and 37.5% (3/8), respectively. Median duration of response was 8.0 months (range 1.5-12.5), 6 of 16 (37.5%) responses were ongoing. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.2 months (95% CI 2.2 to 5.5). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached (NR) (95% CI 8.7 to NR). Patients with PD-L1 positive tumors tended to have longer OS than those with PD-L1 negative tumors, but the difference was not statistically significant (NR vs 8.7 months, p=0.1858).The most common treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or 4 included neutropenia (32.8%), leukopenia (31.0%), anemia (17.2%), decreased appetite (8.6%), vomit (6.9%), nausea (6.9%) and fatigue (5.2%). There were no treatment-related deaths. CONCLUSION The combination of HX008 and irinotecan demonstrated promising activity and manageable safety as second-line treatment in patients with advanced G/GEJ cancer, which warrants further study. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03704246.

Methods: This study is a multicenter, open, phase II clinical study of recombinant humanized anti-pd-1 monoclonal antibody HX008 injection plus Irinotecan that was conducted at 11 hospitals in China. Eligible patients are adults with histologically confirmed advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer. Subjects participating in this study are required to submit a archived tumor tissue specimen or newly obtained biopsy of tumor lesions at the site of no previous radiotherapy and peripheral blood (2mL) for detection of PD-L1 and MSI/MMR expression. The samples will be tested for expression of PD-L1 and MMR by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the central laboratory, and MSI levels will be determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gel electrophoresis. Subjects received PD-1 monoclonal antibody HX008 at 200mg (d1, intravenous drip, once every 3 weeks) plus irinotecan at 160mg/m2 (d1, intravenous drip, 60 ~ 120min, once every 2 weeks). Response was assessed every 6 weeks in accordance with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Primary endpoints was objective remission rate (ORR). Results: Between October 2018 and September 2019, a total of 58 patients with advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer were enrolled in this study. Median (range) age was 61 (27-71) years, and most patients were male (72.4%). Among 53 patients who were evaluated, 15 (28.3%) experienced objective response and 22 (41.5%) experienced stable disease (SD). The median progression free survival (PFS) was 5.4 months, the one-year survival rate was 71.3%. The most common treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or 4 included neutropenia(31.0%), anemia(15.5%), loss of appetite (6.9%), vomiting(5.2%), nausea(3.4%), diarrhea (1.7%) and fatigue (1.7%). There were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: HX008 injection plus Irinotecan demonstrated promising activity and manageable safety in patients with advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer that progressed on first-line chemotherapy with a platinum and fluoropyrimidine. Clinical trial information: NCT03704246 .

Abstract
Abstract
A collaborative study was conducted for determination of glucosamine in raw materials and dietary supplements containing glucosamine sulfate and/or glucosamine hydrochloride by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with N-(9-fluorenyl-methoxycarbonyloxy) succinimide (FMOC-Su) derivatization. Thirteen blind materials, one pair of which were duplicates, were tested by 12 collaborating laboratories. The test samples consisted of various commercial products, including tablets, capsules, drink mix, and liquids as well as raw materials, blanks, and those for spike recovery analyses. The tests with blank products and products spiked with glucosamine showed good specificity of the method. The average recoveries at spike levels of 100 and 150% of the declared amount were 99.0% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.1%, and 101% with an RSD of 2.3%, respectively. The test results between laboratories on each commercial product were reproducible with RSD values of no more than 4.0%, and the results were repeatable in the same laboratory with an average RSD of 0.7%. HorRat values ranged from 0.5 to 1.7 on both tests of spike recovery and reproducibility between laboratories on commercial products. The average determination coefficient of the calibration curves from the laboratories was 0.9995 with an RSD of 0.03%. All of the 12 collaborating laboratories succeeded in the study and none of their reported test results were outliers, partly indicating the robustness of the method. It is recommended that the method be accepted by AOAC INTERNATIONAL as Official First Action.

Abstract
The preservation of vital dental pulp with vasculature and nerve components remains one of the most significant challenges in modern dentistry. Due to the immense potential for neurovascularization, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has shown emerging promise in regenerative medicine and dental translational practice. Actually, pulp mesenchymal stem cells, including postnatal dental pulp stem cells (from permanent teeth) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, possess unique properties based on their origins from neural crest or glial cells. Furthermore, they reside in a neurovascular niche and have the potential for neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurovascular inductive activity. According to current pulp regeneration strategies, pulp stem cell-mediated approaches to regeneration have demonstrated convincing evidence that they can rebuild the complex histologic structure of native pulp in situ with highly organized physiologic patterns or even achieve de novo regeneration of complete dental pulp tissues. More importantly, recent clinical studies emphasized in situ neurovascularization outcomes in successful regeneration of vitalized pulp via pulp stem cell transplantation. In this review, we summarize recent breakthroughs in pulp stem cell-mediated pulp regeneration, emphasizing the crucial achievement of neurovascularization. This functional pulp regeneration represents an innovative and promising approach for future regenerative endodontics.

Abstract
Vps34, a class III PtdIns3 lipid kinase involved in the control of both autophagic and endocytic systems, has been studied extensively in numerous fundamental cellular processes. Accumulating evidence indicates that Vps34 may also contribute to the development and progression of human cancers. However, the mechanism of Vps34 in tumorigenesis remains elusive. Here, we report an unanticipated role of Vps34 in the activation of p62 for cancer development. We identified that Vps34 is a transcriptional activator of p62 through competition of Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) for Keap1 binding. Vps34 augments the association of PKC-δ with p62 for its phosphorylation at Serine 349, which leads to positive feedback on the Nrf2-dependent transcription of oncogenes. Additionally, we found that the expression of Vps34 is correlated with the tumorigenic activity of human breast cancer cells. Normally inactive in breast cancer, caspase 8 can cleave Vps34 at residue D285, which directly abolished its lipid kinase activity and dramatically altered cell invasion potential, colony formation, as well as tumorigenesis in orthotopic engraftments in mice. The cleavage at D285 blocks expression of LC3-II, Nrf2 and subsequently, p62, in addition to blocking tumor growth, indicating that the intact structure of Vps34 is essential for its activity. Moreover, either knockout of PKC-δ or knockdown of p62 by small interfering RNA in MCF-7 cells abrogates Vps34-dependent tumor growth. Data presented here suggested that Vps34 stimulates tumor development mainly through PKC-δ- activation of p62.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter, has been recently linked to mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) function and bone homeostasis. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are the main MSCs in PDL, which respond to mechanical force to induce physiological activities during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, it is unknown whether mechanical force might induce endogenous H2S production by PDLSCs to regulate alveolar bone homeostasis. Here, we used a mouse OTM model to demonstrate that orthodontic force-induced endogenous H2S production in PDL tissue was associated with macrophage accumulation and osteoclastic activity in alveolar bone. Then, we showed that mechanical force application induced cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) expression and endogenous H2S production by PDLSCs. Moreover, blocking endogenous H2S or systemically increasing H2S levels could decrease or enhance force-induced osteoclastic activities to control tooth movement. We further revealed how force-induced H2S production by PDLSCs contributed to the secretion of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/OPG) system by PDLSCs. The secretion and expression of these factors controlled macrophage migration and osteoclast differentiation. This study demonstrated that PDLSCs produced H2S to respond to and transduce force signals. Force-induced gasotransmitter H2S production in PDLSCs therefore regulated osteoclastic activities in alveolar bone and controlled the OTM process through the MCP-1 secretion and RANKL/OPG system.

Abstract
Periodontal ligament (PDL) is subjected to mechanical force during physiologic activities. PDL stem/progenitor cells are the main mesenchymal stem cells in PDL. However, how PDL progenitors participate in PDL homeostasis upon and after mechanical force is largely unknown. In this study, force-triggered orthodontic tooth movement and the following relapse were used as models to demonstrate the response of PDL progenitors and their role in PDL remodeling upon and after mechanical force. Upon orthodontic force, PDL collagen on the compression side significantly degraded, showing a broken and disorganized pattern. After force withdrawal, the degraded PDL collagen recovered during the early stage of relapse. Correspondingly, increased CD90+ PDL progenitors with suppressed expression of type I collagen (Col-I) were observed upon orthodontic force, whereas these cells accumulated at the degradation regions and regained Col-I expression after force withdrawal during early relapse. Our results further showed that compressive force altered cell morphology and repressed collagen expression in cultured PDL progenitors, which both recovered after force withdrawal. Force withdrawal–induced recovery of collagen expression in cultured PDL progenitors could be regulated by transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β), a key molecule for tissue homeostasis and extracellular matrix remodeling. More interesting, inhibiting the regained Col-I expression in CD90+ PDL progenitors by blocking TGF-β interrupted PDL collagen recovery and partially inhibited the early relapse. These data suggest that PDL progenitors can respond to mechanical force and may process intrinsic stability to recover to original status after force withdrawal. PDL progenitors with intrinsic stability are required for PDL recovery and consequently contribute to early orthodontic relapse, which can be regulated by TGF-β signaling.

Abstract
In the present study, serum samples from 402 sheep and 216 goats were collected from 5 counties in Jinzhou from August to October 2012 and antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii were detected by modified agglutination test (MAT). Overall, 104 (16.8%) had antibodies to T. gondii with antibody titres of 1:25 to 1:800. Seropositive samples were distributed in all the 5 counties and seroprevalences of T. gondii varied significantly with flock size, age and rearing system, but not with breed, gender and farm location. The seroprevalences in small farms (18.3%, 95/518, 95% confidence interval [CI], 15.0-21.7%) were statistically higher than that in large farms (9%, 9/100, 95% CI, 3.4-14.6%) (P < 0.05), older animals were statistically higher than that in younger animals (P < 0.01). The prevalence in extensively and semi intensively raised samples was statistically higher than that in intensively raised animals (P < 0.01). Small flock size and extensive rearing system are the potential risk factors for the prevalence of Toxoplasma infection in sheep and goats in Jinzhou. This is the first report of T. gondii infection in sheep and goats in Jinzhou, northeastern China, and of an association of seropositivity to T. gondii and the risk factors.

Abstract
The immune system plays a pivotal role during bone remodeling process. Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) induces local inflammation in periodontium, but whether systemic immune response is involved in OTM remains unknown. In this study, we show that tooth movement distance was significantly reduced in T-cell-deficient immunocompromised mice compared with wild-type (WT) mice. Intravenous infusion of allogeneic T cells to the immunocompromised mice rescued the OTM distance. Correspondingly, increased numbers of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive osteoclasts were detected around the alveolar bone after OTM in WT mice but were barely detected in immunocompromised mice. Moreover, intravenous infusion of T cells rescued the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts in the OTM area of the immunocompromised mice, thus suggesting T cells are required for OTM. We then reveal that OTM induced a significant elevation of type 1 T helper cell (Th1) cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) around periodontal tissue in WT but not in immunocompromised mice. Infusion of T cells could increase the levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ in periodontal tissues of immunocompromised mice. More interestingly, intraperitoneal injection of TNF-α inhibitor etanercept significantly reduced the distance of OTM in T-cell-infused immunocompromised mice. In summary, this study demonstrates a previously unrecognized mechanism that T cells are required for OTM depending on Th1-associated cytokines.

Abstract
Periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement are considered regional reactions. However, how systemic immune responses are involved in this regional reaction remains unclear. In this study, we explored the systemic effects of orthodontic force by focusing on the mononuclear phagocyte system. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the percentage of inflammatory monocytes, in peripheral blood and in the monocyte reservoir spleen, decreased on days 1 and 3 and then recovered on day 7 after force application. Along with the systemic decrease of inflammatory monocyte percentage, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase–positive osteoclasts increased in the compression side of the periodontal tissue during orthodontic tooth movement. Systemic transfusion of enhanced green fluorescent protein–labeled inflammatory monocytes showed recruitment of these monocytes to the orthodontic force compression side of periodontal tissues. These monocytes were colocalized with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase–positive osteoclasts. In vivo and in vitro experiments showed that orthodontic force could upregulate the expression of pivotal monocyte chemokine monocyte chemotactic protein 1 in periodontal tissues or cultured periodontal ligament cells, which may contribute to monocyte recruitment to regional sites. These data suggest that orthodontic force induces systemic immune responses related to inflammatory monocytes and that systemic inflammatory monocytes can be recruited to periodontal tissues by orthodontic force stimulus.

Abstract
Macrophages play a crucial role in inflammatory-mediated bone loss. Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is associated with inflammatory bone remodeling. However, whether and how macrophages contribute to mechanical force–induced OTM remains unknown. In this study, we hypothesized that polarization of M1-like macrophages may contribute to the OTM. Orthodontic nickel-titanium springs were applied to the upper first molars of rats or mice to induce OTM. The distance of OTM gradually increased after mechanical force was applied to the rats for 5 and 10 d. M1-like macrophage polarization and expression of M1 cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α also increased after force application. More importantly, monocyte/macrophage depletion in mice by injection of clodronate liposomes decreased the distance of OTM and the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)–positive osteoclasts and CD68+ macrophages, accompanied by reduced expressions of M1 markers TNF-α and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), whereas systemic transfusion of M1 macrophages in mice increased them. Further experiments showed that injection of recombinant TNF-α increased the distance of OTM and the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts and CD68+ macrophages, as well as upregulated the expression of TNF-α and iNOS. Blockage of TNF-α by etanercept injection reduced the distance of OTM and the number of TRAP-positive osteoclasts and CD68+ macrophages, as well as decreased the levels of TNF-α and iNOS. These data suggest that M1-like macrophage polarization promotes alveolar bone resorption and consequent OTM after mechanical force application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Kanglaite (KLT) injection combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) by meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases was conducted to select studies about KLT injection combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. The pooled risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for objective response rate (ORR), Karnofsky (KPS) score improvement and nausea and vomiting were calculated by Stata11.0 statistical software. RESULT Finally, we included 34 clinical trials in this meta-analysis. The pooled results suggested that KLT injection combined with systematic chemotherapy can significantly increase the objective response rate (ORR) [RR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.23-1.48, (Z = 6.43, P = 0.000)], the quality of patients' life (KSP improvement) [RR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.79-2.33, (Z = 10.57, P = 0.000)] and decrease the risk ratio of gastrointestinal reaction [RR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.42-0.66, (Z = 5.53, P = 0.000)] compared with chemotherapy alone. CONCLUSION KLT injection combined with chemotherapy can improve the short-term efficacy, performance status and decrease the risk of gastrointestinal reaction compared with systematic chemotherapy alone.

Abstract
Mechanical force-induced orthodontic root resorption is a major clinical challenge in orthodontic treatment. Macrophages play an important role in orthodontic root resorption, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we examined the mechanism by which the ratio of M1 to M2 macrophage polarization affects root resorption during orthodontic tooth movement. Root resorption occurred when nickel-titanium coil springs were applied on the upper first molars of rats for 3 to 14 d. Positively stained odontoclasts or osteoclasts with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase were found in resorption areas. Meanwhile, M1-like macrophages positive for CD68 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) persistently accumulated on the compression side of periodontal tissues. In addition, the expressions of the M1 activator interferon-γ and the M1-associated pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were upregulated on the compression side of periodontal tissues. When the coil springs were removed at the 14th day after orthodontic force application, root resorption was partially rescued. The number of CD68(+)CD163(+) M2-like macrophages gradually increased on the compression side of periodontal tissues. The levels of M2 activator interleukin (IL)-4 and the M2-associated anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 also increased. Systemic injection of the TNF-α inhibitor etanercept or IL-4 attenuated the severity of root resorption and decreased the ratio of M1 to M2 macrophages. These data imply that the balance between M1 and M2 macrophages affects orthodontic root resorption. Root resorption was aggravated by an enhanced M1/M2 ratio but was partially rescued by a reduced M1/M2 ratio.

Abstract
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) regulates bone resorption through β-2 adrenergic receptor (Adrb2). In orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), mechanical force induces and regulates alveolar bone remodeling. Compressive force-associated osteoclast differentiation and alveolar bone resorption are the rate-limiting steps of tooth movement. However, whether mechanical force can activate Adrb2 and thus contribute to OTM remains unknown. In this study, orthodontic nickel-titanium springs were applied to the upper first molars of rats and Adrb1/2(-/-) mice to confirm the role of SNS and Adrb2 in OTM. The results showed that blockage of SNS activity in the jawbones of rats by means of superior cervical ganglion ectomy reduced OTM distance from 860 to 540 μm after 14 d of force application. In addition, the injection of nonselective Adrb2 agonist isoproterenol activated the downstream signaling of SNS to accelerate OTM from 300 to 540 μm after 7 d of force application. Adrb1/2(-/-) mice showed significantly reduced OTM distance (19.5 μm) compared with the wild-type mice (107.6 μm) after 7 d of force application. Histopathologic analysis showed that the number of Adrb2-positive cells increased in the compressive region of periodontal ligament after orthodontic force was applied on rats. Mechanistically, mechanical compressive force upregulated Adrb2 expression in primary-cultured human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) through the elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Activation of Adrb2 in PDLCs increased the RANKL/OPG ratio and promoted the peripheral blood mononuclear cell differentiation to osteoclasts in the cocultured system. Upregulation of Adrb2 in PDLCs promoted osteoclastogenesis, which accelerated OTM through Adrb2-enhanced bone resorption. In summary, this study suggests that mechanical force-induced Adrb2 activation in PDLCs contributes to SNS-regulated OTM.

Abstract
AIMS This study aims to establish a novel method for cloning GII norovirus genome using generic primers rationally designed based on multiple alignments of 96 GII norovirus genome sequences. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on conservative analysis of 96 GII norovirus genome sequences available in GenBank, three fragments encompassing the full-length genome were rationally designed. Fragments A, B and C were amplified by primers N1F/N2819R, N2689F/COG2R and COG2F/adaptor, respectively. Meanwhile, the sensitivity of the novel primers was evaluated, which could achieve 10(1) RTPCRU, as determined by the common detection primer pair JV12/JV13. The availability of the novel protocol was verified by sequencing two norovirus strains with different genotypes. CONCLUSIONS Primers for GII norovirus genome clone were rationally designed, and a novel GII genome clone method was established. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The three-fragment cloning method can be used as a universal tool to collect information on the genome of norovirus strains for future evolution and antivirus studies.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to develop an RT-PCR assay combined with immunomagnetic beads (IMS/RT-PCR) coating monoclonal antibody (Mab) for separation and detection of norovirus (genogroup II) in faecal samples. We furthermore compare its detection limits with IMS/RT-PCR using polyclonal antibody (Pab) and the TRIzol extraction method followed by RT-PCR (TRIzol-RT-PCR). METHODS AND RESULTS Mab-coated beads and Pab-coated beads were added to a series of tenfold dilutions of faecal extract containing norovirus in 1 ml PBS. After incubation and collection, the RNA was released by heating from virus separated by beads. The tenfold dilutions of faecal were also extracted with TRIzol reagent. The RNA was used as the template for RT-PCR detection (primers: JV12-JV13). IMS/RT-PCR using Mab showed an endpoint in the 10(-7) dilution and was 10(2) times more sensitive than IMS/RT-PCR using Pab and was at least 10(3) times more sensitive than TRIzol-RT-PCR method. CONCLUSIONS IMS/RT-PCR using Mab proved to be a more sensitive method of noroviruses (NVs) detection than IMS/RT-PCR using Pab and the TRIzol-RT-PCR method. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This is the first study to detect NVs with IMS/RT-PCR using Mab, and could serve as a model for future assays when broadly reactive NVs-specific Mabs are developed.

Abstract
Factors influencing the synthesis of mono- and diester of polyethylene glycol400 (PEG400) oleate with immobilized lipase from Candida sp.1619 as biocatalyst were investigated. Mono- and diester were formed with different molar ratios of the substrates after reacting for 6 hours. The amount of monoester to diester formed was in the range of 3.5:1 to 4.1:1 when the molar ratio of acid to PEG400 was 0.25:1 to 2:1. Almost equal amounts of mono- and diesters were produced when the molar ratio of acid to PEG400 was 3:1 to 8:1. When the equilibrium of reaction was reached (22 hours), only diester was found in the reaction mixture with different molar ratio of substrates. The amount of monoester to diester was 1:3.2 in the reaction system containing hexane, even the molar ratio of acid to PEG400 was 2:1.

Abstract
Conditions for esterification in tert-butanol using fatty acid as acy1 donor and saccharides or saccharide alcohols as acy1 acceptors, immobilized lipase from Candida sp. 1619 as biocatalyst were investigated. Optimal temperature and pH for esterication were 40 degrees C-45 degrees C and 5.5-7.5, respectively. Among the 13 acy1 donors compared, the best ones are the linoleic acid and oleic acid. The similar conversion degree was obtained when using saturated fatty acids with carbon chain length from C8 to C22. Among the 23 saccharides and saccharide alcohols compared, D-fructose, D-Xylose, trehalose, D-sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol isopropyidoneglucofruranose and alpha-methylglucopyranoside showed much higher esterification degree than other acy1 acceptors. In addition, the reaction degree of saccharide alcohols were substantially higher than that of the corresponding saccharides. The conversion was enhanced greatly when the molar ratio of acy1 donor to acy1 acceptor was higher than 2 to 1. In the case of using sorbitol and loeic acid as substrates, the reaction was carried out in 100 ml conical flask and the reaction system consisted of 3.0 mmol oleic acid(0.85 g), 0.2 mmol sorbitol(0.036 g), 3 mL tert-butanol, 30 mg immobilized lipase(600 u), shaken at 40 degrees C. After reaction for 48 h, more than 90% of sorbitol was esterified based on equal molar of substrates. The products were identified TLC as monoester and diester.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive method for quantifying parthenolide in feverfew herb (Tanacetum parthenium) was developed that is significantly faster than those reported in the literature. The extraction system consisted of acetonitrile/water (90:10, v/v) in a bottle with stirring for 30 min. Both Soxhlet and bottle-stirring extractions were studied. Samples were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography with a Cosmosil C18-AR column (150 x 4.6 mm, 5 microm, 120 A). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile/water (55:45, v/v) with a flow rate of 1.5 mL/min and UV detection at 210 nm. Analysis time was 6 min, with a detection limit of 0.10 ng on column. The calibration curve was linear over a range of 0.160-850 microg/mL parthenolide with R(2) = 0.9999. Replicate tests indicated good reproducibility of the method with an RSD% = 0.88 (n = 10). Spike recovery of parthenolide was found to be 99.3% with an RSD% = 1.6 (n = 6).

Abstract
Conditions for the esterification of polyethylene glycol400 (PEG400) with lauric acid by immobilized lipase from Candida sp. 1619 in a solvent-free system were investigated. The esterification degree was increased greatly through the dehydration that occurred during the reaction. When the amount of lauric acid added exceeded the stoichiometric amount the yield of product was further improved by fed-batch feeding of PEG400. In the reaction system that was composed of 5.0 mmol of lauric acid, 2.5 mmol of PEG400, 20 mg of immobilized lipase (200 u), 0.2 ml of water, at 40 degrees C shaken for 48 h in a 100-ml conical flask without a plug, the esterification degree of 98.9% was reached. When the amount of lauric acid used was increased to 60 mmol, the PEG400 in reaction system was completely esterified. The recovery yield of product was 95% by hexane extraction and the product was identified as diester by means of TLC.
