Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is difficult to be diagnosed early clinically, while often leads to poor prognosis. If optimal personalized treatment plan can be provided to pancreatic cancer patient at an earlier stage, this can greatly improve overall survival (OS). Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a collective term for various types of tumor cells present in the peripheral blood (PB), which are formed by detachment during the development of solid tumor lesions. Most CTCs undergo apoptosis or are phagocytosed after entering the PB, whereas a few can escape and anchor at distal sites to develop metastasis, increasing the risk of death for patients with malignant tumors. AIM To investigate the significance of CTCs in predicting the prognosis of early pancreatic cancer patients. METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine, and ChinaInfo databases were searched for articles published through December 2022. Studies were considered qualified if they included patients with early pancreatic cancer, analyzed the prognostic value of CTCs, and were full papers reported in English or Chinese. Researches were selected and assessed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale criteria. We used a funnel plot to assess publication bias. RESULTS From 1595 publications, we identified eight eligible studies that collectively enrolled 355 patients with pancreatic cancer. Among these original studies, two were carried out in China; three in the United States; and one each in Italy, Spain, and Norway. All eight studies analyzed the relevance between CTCs and the prognosis of patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer after surgery. A meta-analysis showed that the patients that were positive pre-treatment or post-treatment for CTCs were associated with decreased OS [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.93, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.197-3.126, P = 0.007] and decreased relapse-free/disease-free/progression-free survival (HR = 1.27, 95%CI: 1.137-1.419, P < 0.001) in early-stage pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the results suggest no statistically noticeable publication bias for overall, disease-free, progression-free, and recurrence-free survival. CONCLUSION This pooled meta-analysis shows that CTCs, as biomarkers, can afford reliable prognostic information for patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer and help develop individualized treatment plans.

Abstract
Objective: To establish an intelligent registration algorithm under the framework of original-mirror alignment algorithm to construct three-dimensional(3D) facial midsagittal plane automatically. Dynamic Graph Registration Network (DGRNet) was established to realize the intelligent registration, in order to provide a reference for clinical digital design and analysis. Methods: Two hundred clinical patients without significant facial deformities were collected from October 2020 to October 2022 at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The DGRNet consists of constructing the feature vectors of key points in point original and mirror point clouds (X, Y), obtaining the correspondence of key points, and calculating the rotation and translation by singular value decomposition. Original and mirror point clouds were registrated and united. The principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was used to obtain the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane. The model was evaluated based on the coefficient of determination (R2) index for the translation and rotation matrix of test set. The angle error was evaluated on the 3D facial midsagittal plane constructed by the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and the iterative closet point(ICP) alignment midsagittal plane for 50 cases of clinical facial data. Results: The average angle error of the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and ICP alignment midsagittal plane was 1.05°±0.56°, and the minimum angle error was only 0.13°. The successful detection rate was 78%(39/50) within 1.50° and 90% (45/50)within 2.00°. Conclusions: This study proposes a new solution for the construction of 3D facial midsagittal plane based on the DGRNet alignment method with intelligent registration, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment to some extent.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the predictive value of cerebrospinal fluid melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) combined with other related biomarkers in preoperative cognitive dysfunction of elderly patients. Methods: A total of 80 patients who underwent elective hip or knee replacement under intravertebral anesthesia in Chifeng Municipal Hospital, Inner Mongolia, from March to November 2022 were prospectively included, with 32 males and 48 females, and aged 65-85 (70.7±5.2) years old. According to the evaluation results of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), patients were divided into the preoperative cognitive dysfunction (n=23) and control (n=57) groups. The levels of MCH, amyloid-β 40 (Aβ40), amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42), and phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) in cerebrospinal fluid were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of each biomarker separately or in combination for preoperative cognitive dysfunction. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was utilized to test the correlation between the level of each biomarker and MoCA scores. Results: The levels of MCH, Aβ40, Aβ42, p-tau, and Aβ42/p-tau in the preoperative cognitive dysfunction group were (35.53±5.94) μg/L, (39.21±9.18) ng/L, (221.83±43.17) ng/L, (42.64±9.74) ng/L, and 5.53±1.92, and the levels of these biomarkers in the control group were (28.74±4.90) μg/L, (36.37±7.87) ng/L, (280.23±45.67) ng/L, (35.00±9.27) ng/L, and 8.62±2.78, respectively. Compared with the control group, the levels of cerebrospinal fluid MCH and p-tau in the preoperative cognitive dysfunction group were significantly increased (all P<0.01), and the levels of Aβ42 and Aβ42/p-tau were significantly decreased (all P<0.001). MCH and Aβ42/p-tau provided higher predictive values. The area under the curve (AUC) of MCH and Aβ42/p-tau were 0.807 (95%CI: 0.703-0.911) and 0.842 (95%CI: 0.741-0.943), the sensitivity were 78.3% and 87.0%, and the specificity were 75.4% and 94.7%. MCH combined with Aβ42/p-tau have the higher AUC of 0.915 (95%CI: 0.837-0.992), the sensitivity (87.0%) and specificity (86.0%) were both high, which had a higher predictive value. The levels of cerebrospinal fluid MCH and p-tau were negatively correlated with MoCA score (r=-0.467, -0.321, all P<0.01), and the levels of Aβ42 and Aβ42/p-tau were positively correlated with MoCA score (r=0.480, 0.520, all P<0.001). Conclusion: The increase in cerebrospinal fluid MCH levels is associated with preoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients. MCH combined with Aβ42/p-tau has the greatest predictive value.

Abstract
Research on the processes and mechanisms of compound soil erosion by multiple forces can provide scientific guidance for precisely controlling cropland soil erosion. Based on the seasonal alternation of freezing-thawing, snowmelt, wind, and rainfall erosion forces on sloping farmlands under natural conditions from November to next October of each year, we used a set of indoor simulation experiments of multi-force superimpositions to analyze the compound soil erosion processes of snowmelt (1 and 2 L·min-1), wind (12 m·s-1), and rainfall (100 mm·h-1). We further discussed the erosion effects of multi-force superimpositions. The results showed that, under single snowmelt erosion, an increase in snowmelt flow had a greater effect on sloping snowmelt erosion intensity than that of sloping runoff rate. When sloping snowmelt flow increased from 1 L·min-1 to 2 L·min-1, sloping runoff rate and erosion intensity increased by 2.7 and 4.0 times, respectively. Under snowmelt-wind superimposition erosion, previous sloping snowmelt erosion inhibited late wind erosion occurrence. As sloping snowmelt flow increased from 1 L·min-1 to 2 L·min-1, the inhibiting action subsequently increased and wind erosion intensity caused by previous snowmelt reduced by more than 50%. Both wind erosion and snowmelt-wind superimposed erosion intensified late rainfall erosion. The early wind erosion increased rainfall erosion by 24.5%. The snowmelt-wind superimposed effect increased the later slope rainfall erosion by 132.8% and 465.4% under 1 and 2 L·min-1 snowmelt runoff rates, respectively. The compound soil erosion amount driven by multiple force superimposition was not the sum of the corresponding erosion amount caused by single erosion force, with promoting or inhibiting effects of erosion force superimposition. The erosion effect of snowmelt-wind superposition was negative, but that of wind-rainfall superposition and snowmelt-wind-rainfall superpositions were positive.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the mortality trend and characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among residents in China from 2004 to 2020. Methods: From the area, gender, region, and age dimensions, the Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trend of COPD mortality rate from 2004 to 2020, extracted from the China Death Surveillance Dataset. Results: From 2004 to 2020, the mortality rate and age-adjusted mortality rate of COPD showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.68%, P<0.001; AAPC=-7.27%, P<0.001), which were consistent with urban and rural subpopulations (mortality rate: AAPC=-3.62%, P=0.009, AAPC=-3.23%, P=0.014; age-adjusted mortality rate: AAPC=-7.26%, P<0.001, AAPC=-6.78%, P<0.001). The mortality rate of COPD in rural was higher than that of urban subpopulations (P<0.001). Also, the mortality rate and age-adjusted mortality rate of COPD showed a downward trend in males and females (mortality rate: AAPC=-3.00%, P<0.001, AAPC=-4.37%, P<0.001; age-adjusted mortality rate: AAPC=-6.73%, P<0.001, AAPC=-8.11%, P<0.001), and the COPD mortality rate for male was generally higher than female (P<0.001). Meanwhile, the mortality rate of COPD in eastern, central and western regions also showed a downward trend (AAPC=-3.87%, P<0.001; AAPC=-3.12%, P<0.001; AAPC=-1.37%, P=0.001), and western regions were significantly higher than that in central (P<0.001) and eastern (P<0.001) regions. The mortality rate of COPD in the age group of Chinese people showed a downward trend in<45, 45-59, and≥60 years groups (AAPC=-9.48%, P<0.001; AAPC=-9.03%, P<0.001; AAPC=-5.91%, P<0.001). Among them,≥60 years groups was significantly higher than that in<45 (P<0.001) and 45-59 (P<0.001) years groups, and the decline rate was slowest. Conclusion: In China, the mortality rate of COPD decreases from 2004 to 2020, and more efforts are needed to reduce COPD mortality, especially in western regions, rural populations, males and the elderly.

Abstract
Objective: To explore an automatic landmarking method for anatomical landmarks in the three-dimensional (3D) data of the maxillary complex and preliminarily evaluate its reproducibility and accuracy. Methods: From June 2021 to December 2022, spiral CT data of 31 patients with relatively normal craniofacial morphology were selected from those who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The sample included 15 males and 16 females, with the age of (33.3±8.3) years. The maxillary complex was reconstructed in 3D using Mimics software, and the resulting 3D data of the maxillary complex was mesh-refined using Geomagic software. Two attending physicians and one associate chief physician manually landmarked the 31 maxillary complex datasets, determining 24 anatomical landmarks. The average values of the three expert landmarking results were used as the expert-defined landmarks. One case that conformed to the average 3D morphological characteristics of healthy individuals' craniofacial bones was selected as the template data, while the remaining 30 cases were used as target data. The open-source MeshMonk program (a non-rigid registration algorithm) was used to perform an initial alignment of the template and target data based on 4 landmarks (nasion, left and right zygomatic arch prominence, and anterior nasal spine). The template data was then deformed to the shape of the target data using a non-rigid registration algorithm, resulting in the deformed template data. Based on the unchanged index property of homonymous landmarks before and after deformation of the template data, the coordinates of each landmark in the deformed template data were automatically retrieved as the automatic landmarking coordinates of the homonymous landmarks in the target data, thus completing the automatic landmarking process. The automatic landmarking process for the 30 target data was repeated three times. The root-mean-square distance (RMSD) of the dense corresponding point pairs (approximately 25 000 pairs) between the deformed template data and the target data was calculated as the deformation error of the non-rigid registration algorithm, and the intra-class correlation efficient (ICC) of the deformation error in the three repetitions was analyzed. The linear distances between the automatic landmarking results and the expert-defined landmarks for the 24 anatomical landmarks were calculated as the automatic landmarking errors, and the ICC values of the 3D coordinates in the three automatic landmarking repetitions were analyzed. Results: The average three-dimensional deviation (RMSD) between the deformed template data and the corresponding target data for the 30 cases was (0.70±0.09) mm, with an ICC value of 1.00 for the deformation error in the three repetitions of the non-rigid registration algorithm. The average automatic landmarking error for the 24 anatomical landmarks was (1.86±0.30) mm, with the smallest error at the anterior nasal spine (0.65±0.24) mm and the largest error at the left oribital (3.27±2.28) mm. The ICC values for the 3D coordinates in the three automatic landmarking repetitions were all 1.00. Conclusions: This study established an automatic landmarking method for three-dimensional data of the maxillary complex based on a non-rigid registration algorithm. The accuracy and repeatability of this method for landmarking normal maxillary complex 3D data were relatively good.

Abstract
Objective: To provide a new solution for the digital design of nasal prostheses, this study explores the three-dimensional (3D) facial morphology completion method for external nasal defects based on the non-rigid registration process of 3D face template. Methods: A total of 20 male patients with tooth defect and dentition defect who visited the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from June to December 2022 were selected, age 18-45 years old. The original 3D facial data of patients were collected, and the 3D facial data of the external nose defect was constructed in Geomagic Wrap 2021 software. Using the structured 3D face template data constructed in the previous research of the research group, the 3D face template was deformed and registered to the 3D facial data of external nose defect (based on the morphology of non-defective area) by non-rigid registration algorithm (MeshMonk program), and the personalized deformed data of the 3D face template was obtained, as the complemented facial 3D data. Based on the defect boundary of the 3D facial data of the external nose defect, the complemented external nose 3D data can be cut out from the complemented facial 3D data. Then the nasofacial angle and nasolabial angle of the complemented facial 3D data and the original 3D facial data was compared and analyzed, the ratio between the nose length and mid-face height, nose width and medial canthal distance of the complemented facial 3D data was measured, the edge fit between the edge curve of the complemented external nose 3D data and the defect edge curve of the 3D facial data of external nose defect was evaluated, and the morphological difference of the nose between the complemented external nose 3D data and the original 3D facial data was analyzed. Results: There was no significant statistically difference (t=-0.23, P=0.823; Z=-1.72, P=0.086) in the nasofacial angle (28.2°±2.9°, 28.4°±3.5° respectively) and nasolabial angle [95.4°(19.2°), 99.9°(9.5°) respectively] between the 20 original 3D facial data and the complemented facial 3D data. The value of the ratio of nose length to mid-face height in the complemented facial 3D data was 0.63±0.03, and the value of the ratio of nose width to medial canthal distance was 1.07±0.08. The curve deviation (root mean square value) between the edge curve of the complemented external nose 3D data and the defect edge curve of the 3D facial data of external nose defect was (0.37±0.09) mm, the maximum deviation was (1.14±0.32) mm, and the proportion of the curve deviation value within±1 mm was (97±3)%. The distance of corresponding nose landmarks between the complemented facial 3D data and the original 3D facial data were respectively, Nasion: [1.52(1.92)] mm; Pronasale: (3.27±1.21) mm; Subnasale: (1.99±1.09) mm; Right Alare: (2.64±1.34) mm; Left Alare: (2.42± 1.38) mm. Conclusions: The method of 3D facial morphology completion of external nose defect proposed in this study has good feasibility. The constructed complemented external nose 3D data has good facial coordination and edge fit, and the morphology is close to the nose morphology of the original 3D facial data.

Abstract
Objective: To explore a method for digitally designing and fabricating a sequential tooth-sectioning guide that can assist in the extraction of mandibular horizontal impacted third molars, preliminarily evaluate its feasibility and provide a reference for clinical application. Methods: Twenty patients with mandibular low level impacted third molars who visited the Department of General Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from March 2021 to January 2022 were selected. Cone-beam CT showed direct contact between the roots and mandibular canal, and full range impressions of the patients' intraoral teeth were taken and optical scans of the dental model were performed. The patients' cone-beam CT data and optical scan data were reconstructed in three dimensions, anatomical structure extraction, registration fusion, and the design of the structure of the guide (including crown-sectioning guide and root-sectioning guide) by Mimics 24.0, Geomagic Wrap 2021, and Magics 21.0 software, and then the titanium guide was three dimension printed, and the guide was tried on the dental model. After confirmation, the guide was used to assist the dentist in the operation. We observed whether the guide was in place, the number of tooth splitting, the matching of tooth splitting with the preoperative design, the operation time, and whether there were any complications. Results: In this study, 20 sectioning guides were successfully printed, all of them were well fitted in the patients' mouth, the average number of section was 3.4 times, the tooth parts was better matched with the preoperative design, and the average operative time of the guides was (29.2±9.8) minutes without complications such as perforation of the bone cortex. Conclusions: The use of sequential sectioning guides to assist in the extraction of mandibular impacted third molars was initially validated to accurately replicate the preoperative sectioning design, and is expected to provide a digital solution to improve surgical precision and ensure safety. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to evaluate its accuracy and safety.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of disorders of sex development (DSD) caused by Y chromosome copy number variant (CNV). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 3 patients diagnosed with DSD caused by Y chromosome CNV admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January, 2018 to September, 2022. Clinical data were collected. Clinical study and genetic test were performed by karyotyping, whole exome sequencing (WES), low coverage whole genome copy number variant sequencing (CNV-seq), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and gonadal biopsy. Results: The 3 children, aged 12, 9, 9 years, the social gender were all female, presented with short stature, gonadal dysplasia and normal female external genital. No other phenotypic abnormality was found except for case 1 with scoliosis. The karyotype of all cases were identified as 46, XY. No pathogenic vraiants were found by WES. CNV-seq determined that case 1 was 47, XYY,+Y(2.12) and case 2 was 46, XY,+Y(1.6). FISH concluded that the long arm of Y chromosome was broken and recombined near Yq11.2, and then produced a pseudodicentric chromosome idic(Y). The karyotype was reinterpreted as mos 47, X, idic(Y)(q11.23)×2(10)/46, X, idic(Y)(q11.23)(50) in case 1. The karyotype was redefined as 45, XO(6)/46, X, idic(Y)(q11.22)(23)/46, X, del(Y)(q11.22)(1) in case 2. 46, XY, -Y(mos) was found by CNV-seq in case 3, and the karyotype of 45, XO/46, XY was speculated. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of children with DSD caused by Y chromosome CNV are short stature and gonadal dysgenesis. If there is an increase of Y chromosome CNV detected by CNV-seq, FISH is recommended to classify the structural variation of Y chromosome.

Abstract
The effectiveness of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is confirmed in clinical trials; however, the patients suitable for receiving this therapy remain unspecified. Previous studies have demonstrated that the tumor microenvironment (TME) dominates immunotherapy; therefore, an effective TME classification strategy is required. In this study, five crucial immunophenotype-related molecules (WARS, UBE2L6, GZMB, BATF2, and LAG-3) in the TME are determined in five public gastric cancer (GC) datasets (n = 1426) and an in-house sequencing dataset (n = 79). Based on this, a GC immunophenotypic score (IPS) is constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox, and randomSurvivalForest. IPSLow is characterized as immune-activated, and IPSHigh is immune-silenced. Data from seven centers (n = 1144) indicate that the IPS is a robust and independent biomarker for GC and superior to the AJCC stage. Furthermore, patients with an IPSLow and a combined positive score of ≥5 are likely to benefit from neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy. In summary, the IPS can be a useful quantitative tool for immunophenotyping to improve clinical outcomes and provide a practical reference for implementing neoadjuvant ICI therapy for patients with GC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate the trueness of five chairside three-dimensional facial scanning techniques, and to provide reference for the application of oral clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHODS The three-dimensional facial data of the subjects were collected by the traditional professional three-dimensional facial scanner Face Scan, which was used as the reference data of this study. Four kinds of portable three-dimensional facial scanners (including Space Spider, LEO, EVA and DS-FScan) and iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone (Bellus3D facial scanning APP) were used to collect three-dimensional facial data from the subjects. In Geomagic Studio 2013 software, through data registration, deviation analysis and other functions, the overall three-dimensional deviation and facial partition three-dimensional deviation of the above five chairside three-dimensional facial scanning technologies were calculated, and their trueness performance evaluated. Scanning time was recorded during the scanning process, and the subject's comfort was scored by visual analogue scale(VAS). The scanning efficiency and patient acceptance of the five three-dimensional facial scanning techniques were evaluated. RESULTS DS-FScan had the smallest mean overall and mean partition three-dimensional deviation between the test data and the reference data, which were 0.334 mm and 0.329 mm, respectively. The iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone had the largest mean overall and mean partition three-dimensional deviation between the test data and the reference data, which were 0.483 mm and 0.497 mm, respectively. The detailed features of the three-dimensional facial data obtained by Space Spider were the best. The iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone had the highest scanning efficiency and the highest acceptance by the subject. The average scanning time of the iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone was 14 s, and the VAS score of the subjects' scanning comfort was 9 points. CONCLUSION Among the five chairside three-dimensional face scanning technologies, the trueness of the scan data of the four portable devices had no significant difference, and they were all better than the iPhone Ⅹ mobile phone scan. The subject with the iPhone Ⅹ scanning technology had the best expe-rience.

Abstract
The H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus can infect both chickens and humans. Previous studies have reported a role for erythrocytes in immunity. However, the role of H9N2 against chicken erythrocytes and the presence of complement-related genes in erythrocytes has not been studied. This research investigated the effect of H9N2 on complement-associated gene expression in chicken erythrocytes. The expression of complement-associated genes (C1s, C1q, C2, C3, C3ar1, C4, C4a, C5, C5ar1, C7, CD93 and CFD) was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to analyse the differential expression of complement-associated genes in chicken erythrocytes at 0 h, 2 h, 6 h and 10 h after the interaction between H9N2 virus and chicken erythrocytes in vitro and 3, 7 and 14 d after H9N2 virus nasal infection of chicks. Expression levels of C1q, C4, C1s, C2, C3, C5, C7 and CD93 were significantly up-regulated at 2 h and significantly down-regulated at 10 h. Gene expression levels of C1q, C3ar1, C4a, CFD and C5ar1 were seen to be different at each time point. The expression levels of C1q, C4, C1s, C2, C3, C5, C7, CFD, C3ar1, C4a and C5ar1 were significantly up-regulated at 7 d and the gene expression of levels of C3, CD93 and C5ar1 were seen to be different at each time point. The results confirmed that all the complement-associated genes were expressed in chicken erythrocytes and showed the H9N2 virus interaction with chicken erythrocytes and subsequent regulation of chicken erythrocyte complement-associated genes expression. This study reported, for the first time, the relationship between H9N2 and complement system of chicken erythrocytes, which will provide a foundation for further research into the prevention and control of H9N2 infection.

Abstract
Grass swale has been widely used in sponge city construction, which can effectively improve the urban ecological environment. To explore the regulation mechanism of runoff in grass swale, runoff scouring experiment was carried out to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of runoff and the distribution of cross-section velocity under the combined conditions of five slopes (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%) and five scour flows (20, 30, 40, 50, 60 L·min-1). With the increases of flow rate and slope, flow velocity, Reynolds number and Froude number all increased gradually, while the Manning roughness coefficient and Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient decreased gradually. The velocity (V) could be expressed as a power function V=0.3387Q0.555S0.6601 of flow rate (Q) and slope (S). The variation ranges of Reynolds number and Froude number were 1160.95-6596.82 and 0.17-1.21, respectively. The runoff flow patterns were all turbulent. The flow pattern was greatly affected by the slope. When flow rate and slope were small, they had great influence on friction coefficient. Under the experimental conditions, the Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient was negatively correlated with Reynolds number. The velocity distribution of cross-section showed symmetrical distribution on both sides of the center. The maximum velocity point was located at the center of water surface. With the increases of flow rate and slope, the velocity contours of cross section gradually became dense and the gradient of the velocity change increased. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the design, application and hydraulic calculation of grass swale in the construction of sponge cities in loess areas, and reveal the runoff regulation mechanism by analyzing the hydraulic characteristics of grass swale runoff.

Abstract
Background Laparoscopic resection of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is technically feasible and associated with favorable outcomes. We compared the clinical efficacy of hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HLS) and total laparoscopic surgery (TLS) for gastric GISTs. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 69 consecutive patients diagnosed with a gastric GIST in a tertiary referral teaching hospital from December 2016 to December 2020. Surgical outcomes were compared between two groups. Results Fifty-three patients (TLS group: n = 36; HLS group: n = 17) were included. The mean age was 56.9 and 58.1 years in the TLS and HLS groups, respectively. The maximum tumor margin was significantly shorter in the HLS group than in the TLS group (2.3 ± 0.9. vs. 3.0 ± 0.8 cm; P = 0.004). The operative time of the HLS group was significantly shorter than that of the TLS group (70.6 ± 19.1 min vs. 134.4 ± 53.7 min; P < 0.001). The HLS group had less intraoperative blood loss, a shorter time to first flatus, and a shorter time to fluid diet than the TLS group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the groups in the incidence or severity of complications within 30 days after surgery. Recurrence or metastasis occurred in four cases (HLS group; n = 1; TLS group; n = 3). Conclusions This study demonstrated that compared with TLS, HLS for gastric GISTs has the advantages of simpler operation, shorter operative time, and faster postoperative recovery.

Abstract
Ben Cao Tu Jing had 38 materia medica illustrations related to the regional names in Zhejiang province. It was found that 30 of them were identified as being named after regional names in Zhejiang province, involving 20 families and 29 genera. One of the 38 materia medica illustrations was mineral medicine and seven of them were unverified. The twenty-five of these materia medica illustrations with regional names were found to be consistent with their names used today. Five of them came from similar names in Zhejiang province in the Northern Song Dynasty, another five of the 25 names were known with the names but not entity for the lack of full descriptions and drawings. It was found that the drawing and the text of "Ming Zhou Huang Yao" and "Qin Zhou Hong Yao" in Ben Cao Tu Jing were reversed. By comparing the materia medica illustrations related to regional names in Da Guan Ben Cao by Liu Jia and Zheng He Ben Cao by Zhang Huicun, the name and the illustration of "Jin Zhou Bei Mu" in Zheng He Ben Cao by Zhang Huicun was more believable than "Yue Zhou Bei Mu" in Da Guan Ben Cao by Liu Jia. "Tai Zhou Wu Yao" and "Zhe Ba Wei", as genuine medicinal materials in Zhejiang, can be traced back to the illustrations of "Tai Zhou Wu Yao", "Yue Zhou Bai Zhu", "Mu Zhou Mai Dong", "Wen Zhou Peng 'e Shu", "Yue Zhou Bei Mu" and "Tian Tai Wu Yao" in Ben Cao Tu Jing. These findings provided text and drawing literature of herbs in the Song Dynasty for the research of genuine medicinal materials and their characteristics in Zhejiang province. They also showed that the utilization and development of the resources of traditional Chinese medicine in Zhejiang in the Northern Song Dynasty mainly focused on the coastal areas.

Abstract
Objectives: To study the design of nonmetallic crowns for deciduous molars by means of computer aided design and to analyze the key parameters of the nonmetallic crowns of deciduous molars using finite element method. Methods: The three-dimensional model of a mandibular second primary molar was constructed by using a micro-CT system. The thickness of the crown was limited to 0.5 mm and four different crown shapes (chamfer+anatomic, chamfer+non-anatomic, knife edge+anatomic and knife edge+non-anatomic) were designed. Then, the crown shape was limited as chamfer+non-anatomic and five different thicknesses of the crown (0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50 mm) were designed, and three different materials, including polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin and resin-infiltrated ceramic, were applied to make the crown. Stress distribution and fatigue of each component of the model under vertical and oblique loadings were analyzed by using finite element method. Non-axial retention analysis was performed on chamfer+non-anatomic crowns, made of PMMA resin, with thicknesses of 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 mm. Results: Among the four crown shape designs, the chamfer+non-anatomic type crown showed the lowest von Mises stress and the highest safety factor. By comparing three different materials, the resin-infiltrated ceramic group showed obvious stress concentration on the buccal edge of the crown and the PEKK group showed stress concentration in the adhesive layer. Results of non-axial retention analysis showed that the torques required by the crowns with five thicknesses at the same rotation angle were as follows: 4 856.1, 4 038.1, 3 497.3, 3 256.3 and 3 074.3 N⋅m, respectively. The comparison of areas of the adhesives fracture among groups were as follows: 0.5 mm group < 0.75 mm group < 1.00 mm group < 1.25 mm group < 1.50 mm group. Conclusions: In the design of nonmetallic crowns for primary molars, the edge of the crown should be designed as chamfer, the shape of the inner crown should be non-anatomical and the minimum preparation amount of the occlusal surface should be 1.00 mm. Among the three materials, PMMA resin, of which elastic modulus is similar to the dentin and the dental adhesive, might be the most suitable material for the crowns of primary molars.

Abstract
A total of 568 paintings of herbaceous plants and woody plants as medicine were involved in Ben Cao Tu Jing, accounting for 60% of the total drug illustrations and 76% of the botanical medicine paintings. These medicinal paintings can be classified into four types: original plant paintings, medicinal material paintings, plant and medicinal material paintings, and plant and their habitat paintings. The original plant paintings can be specifically divided into five sections: the whole plant paintings with roots, partial aerial part paintings with roots, plant paintings with ground lines, rootless plant paintings, and broken branch paintings. Among them, the drawings of " the broken branch paintings " and " the whole plant paintings with roots " are consistent with the basic principles of collecting plant specimens. Additionally, "the plant and medicinal material paintings " and "the medicinal material paintings "reflect that they were drawn based on the market survey of medicinal materials or collected medicinal materials specimens. These medicine painting demonstrate rich characteristics of medicinal plants and medicinal materials and a high artistic quality with realistic details.These paintings in Ben Cao Tu Jing echoes Tu Jing, combine the art of painting with the cognition ofnatural science, as the rudiment of early paintings of plant science.

Abstract
Objectives Many researches showed that Erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte kinase receptor A1 (EphA1) can promote the occurrence and development of malignant tumors and may be related to tumor microenvironment. But most of them are phenomenon studies, and there are few in-depth and complete mechanism studies. This study aims to understand how EphA1 promotes the progression of malignant tumors by regulating tumor microenvironment (focusing on Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)) from two experimental dimensions of in vitro and in vivo by using genetic engineering technology. Material and Methods We used genetic engineering technology to enhance and knock down EphA1 gene expression in SGC-7901 cells, respectively, and analyzed its influence on cell function and the expression levels of VEGF and IL-6 in cells. Subsequently, we constructed human EphA1 gene overexpression, EphA1 gene silencing, and normal expression of human EphA1 gene subcutaneous transplanted tumor models of SGC-7901 cells nude mice, and analyzed the differences in tumor development and the changes in the expression levels of VEGF and ILl-6 in tumor tissues. Results After EphA1 gene expression was enhanced, the proliferation, invasion and migration of SGC-7901 cells were enhanced, and apoptosis was weakened, and the expression levels of VEGF and IL-6 were increased. While the opposite results were found when EphA1 gene expression were knocked down. Meanwhile, tumor formation time and growth rate of subcutaneous transplantation in nude mice were advanced and the expression levels of VEGF and IL-6 in tumor tissues were increased when EphA1 gene expression were overexpressed by genetic engineering technology. Similarly, the opposite effect occurred in transplanted tumor model when EphA1 gene was silenced. Conclusion Our study showed that EphA1 can up-regulating VEGF and IL-6 expression, thereby enhancing the inflammatory environment and angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment, and this helps to promote the progression of SGC-7901 cells and its transplanted tumor.

Abstract
Background: Efforts to prevent recurrence in gastric cancer (GC) patients are limited by current incomplete understanding of the pathological mechanisms. The present study aimed to identify novel tumour metastasis-associated genes and investigate potential value of these genes in clinical diagnosis and therapy. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes related to GC metastasis. The expression and prognostic significance of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) were evaluated in two independent cohorts of GC patients. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, diverse mouse models and assays for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing were used to investigate the roles and mechanisms of action of FABP4. Results: The results of the present multicentre study confirmed an association between a decrease in the expression of FABP4 and poor outcomes in GC patients. FABP4 inhibited GC metastasis but did not influence tumour growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, FABP4 binding with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) facilitated the translocation of PPAR-γ to the nucleus. FABP4 depletion suppressed PPAR-γ-mediated transcription of cell adhesion molecule 3 (CADM3), which preferentially governed GC metastasis. Notably, the PPAR-γ agonist rosiglitazone reversed the metastatic properties of FABP4-deficient GC cells in vitro and demonstrated viable therapeutic potential in multiple mouse models. For GC patients with diabetes, low FABP4 portends better prognosis than high FABP4 after receipt of rosiglitazone treatment. Additionally, chromatin inaccessibility induced by HDAC1 reduced FABP4 expression at the epigenetic level. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that chromatin inaccessibility orchestrates a reduction in FABP4 expression, which inhibits CADM3 transcription via PPAR-γ, thereby resulting in GC metastasis. The antidiabetic drug rosiglitazone restores PPAR-γ/CADM3 activation in FABP4-deficient GC and thus has promising therapeutic potential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay and microscopic examinations for detection of Schistosoma japonicum infections in Oncomelania hupensis in transmission-interrupted regions, so as to provide insights into the optimization of snail surveillance tools in these regions. METHODS Four hilly schistosomiasis-endemic villages where transmission interruption was achieved were selected in Heqing County of Yunnan Province as the study villages, including Xinzhuang and Gule villages in hilly regions and Lianyi and Yitou villages in dam regions. Snail survey was performed by means of systematic sampling combined with environmental sampling in July 2018. All captured snails were identified for S. japonicum infections using microscopy. In addition, 10 to 20 snails were randomly sampled from each snail habitat following microscopy, numbered according to environments and subjected to LAMP assay. The positive rate of settings with S. japonicum-infected snails was compared among villages. RESULTS A total of 7 949 living snails were captured from 83 snail habitats in 4 villages, and no S. japonicum infection was detected in snails. There were 226 mixed samples containing 1 786 snails subjected to LAMP assay, and positive LAMP assay was found in 3 mixed samples from 3 snail habitats in 2 dam villages. The positive rates of settings with S. japonicum-infected snails were comparable between Lianyi Village (one setting) and Yitou Village (2 set tings) (5.89% vs. 14.29%, P = 0.344). However, the overall positive rate of settings with S. japonicum-infected snails was significantly higher in dam villages (9.67%, 3/31) than in hilly villages (0) (P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS LAMP assay is more sensitive to detect S. japonicum infections in O. hupensis than conventional microcopy method, which may serve as a supplementary method for detection of S. japonicum infections in O. hupensis in high-risk snail habitats in hilly transmission-interrupted regions.

Abstract
Snowmelt erosion is an important way of soil loss in Chinese Mollisol region. However, little is known about the effects of seepage flow and soil thaw depth on hillslope snowmelt runoff erosion. An indoor simulated experiment was conducted to analyze the impacts of seepage flow and soil thaw depth on hillslope snowmelt erosion. There were two snowmelt flow rates (1 and 4 L·min-1), two soil thaw depths (5 and 10 cm), and two near-surface hydrological conditions (with and without seepage flow). The results showed that hillslope runoff depth and soil erosion amount in the treatment with seepage flow were 1.1 to 1.2 times and 1.3 to 1.9 times of those in the treatment without seepage flow, respectively. Under two snowmelt flow rates, when soil thaw depth increased from 5 cm to 10 cm, hillslope runoff depth and soil erosion amount increased by 10.0% to 13.5% and 15.4% to 37.1% in the treatment without seepage flow, respectively. In the treatment with seepage flow, when soil thaw depth shifted from 5 cm to 10 cm, hillslope runoff depth increased by 6.5% to 8.5%, and soil erosion amount remained stable. Moreover, hillslope rill development was comprehensively influenced by seepage flow, soil thaw depth, and snowmelt flow rate, with rill erosion amount occupying more than 72% of hillslope snowmelt erosion amount. Compared with the treatment without seepage flow, flow velocity and shear stress under the treatment with seepage flow increased by 20.3% to 23.2% and 37.0% to 51.3%, respectively; but Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient reduced by 9.0% to 21.4%, which caused an increase of hillslope snowmelt erosion. In addition, seepage flow enhanced rill development, which caused rill erosion amount to increase by 43.6% to 69.9% compared with the treatment without seepage flow, and it further resulted in the increase of hillslope snowmelt erosion amount. The main reason for soil thaw depth enhancing hillslope snowmelt erosion amount under the treatment without seepage flow was that both sloping runoff erosivity and erodible materials increased with increasing soil thaw depth. Furthermore, soil thaw depth had a significant impact on hillslope rill morphology development under the treatment with seepage flow. Rill widening process was dominated when soil thaw depth was 5 cm, whereas rill incision process was dominant when soil thaw depth was 10 cm. This study could improve the understanding of hillslope snowmelt erosion mechanism in Chinese Mollisol region and provide theoretical guidance for the development of water erosion model.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) combined with bifurcation lesions and the features of coronary intervention and perioperative complications. Methods: This study adopted retrospective cross-sectional research methods and included 673 patients who underwent interventional therapy for chronic total occlusion in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. According to whether there were side branches (diameter ≥2 mm) within 5 mm before and after the CTO occlusion segment, patients were divided into bifurcation group (337 cases) and non-bifurcation group (336 cases). The measurement data did not conform to the normal distribution and were represented as M (Q1, Q3). The clinical risk factors, coronary angiography characteristics, interventional treatment strategies and perioperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The patients in the bifurcation group were 60 (51, 65) years old, and 86.6% (292 cases) were male; the patients in the non-bifurcation group were 60 (52, 66) years old, and 83.0% (279 cases) were male.Coronary artery disease in all patients was mainly multivessel disease, of which three-vessel disease accounted for 59.9% (403 cases) and double-vessel disease accounted for 25.4% (171 cases).The target vessel in the bifurcation group was predominantly left anterior descending artery (62.3%, 210 cases), and the target vessel in the non-bifurcation group was more common in the right coronary artery (56%, 188 cases). The target vessel diameter was larger in the bifurcation group (2.91(2.71, 3.24) mm vs 2.80(2.55, 3.13) mm, P<0.001). Most patients used the antegrade technique (88%, 592 cases), and the use of antegrade technique in the bifurcation group (91.9%, 307 cases) was higher than that in the non-bifurcation group (84.8%, 285 cases) (P=0.012). After CTO-PCI, 72.8% (490 cases) of patients achieved successful angiography. A total of 73 patients (10.8%) had perioperative complications, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups. However, the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction was higher in the bifurcation group (5.9%, 20 cases) than non-bifurcation group (2.7%, 9 cases) (P=0.038). Conclusions: CTO complicated with bifurcation lesions are very common in clinical practice. Most patients with CTO have multiple coronary artery disease at the same time. The target vessel is more common in the left anterior descending artery, and the diameter of the vessel is larger. It is more common to use antergrade technique, accompanied by more perioperative myocardial infarctions.

Abstract
To explore the technical process and the therapeutic effect of using sequential surgical guide with independent intellectual property rights assisting immediate implantation and restoration of the full arch, with the support from the periodontal splint for mobile supporting teeth, patients with severe periodontitis who planned to undergo immediate full arch implantation were recruited from August 2019 to December 2020 at the Department of Prosthodontics, Department of Periodontology, Department of Implantology and First Clinical Division, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Through the procedure of collecting preoperative maxillofacial data, making systematic diagnostic design, making periodontal splints fixation, producing surgical guide, and carrying out guided surgery for full arch immediate implantation, eight cases were included. By registering the postoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) with the preoperative data, the difference between the actual three-dimensional position of the implants and the virtual design was observed, and the accuracy of the implant placement position guided by the sequential guide was statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. Analysis indicators include coronal and apical global displacement, coronal horizontal and vertical displacement, apical horizontal and vertical displacement, and angular deviation. Results revealed that the 8 patients [2 males and 6 females, aged (49.0±9.3) years (38-65 years)] of recruited cases included 7 cases of maxilla and 1 cases of mandible. A total of 48 implants, of which 44 implants were placed upright and 4 were placed tilted, 16 implants in the anterior region and 32 implants in the posterior region. No guide plate fracture or damage to important anatomical structures were reported. The overall displacement at the coronal point [(0.83±0.48) mm] and the global displacement at the apical point [(1.36±0.57) mm] were within the clinically acceptable safety range, and the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the coronal point, horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the apical point, and the angle deviation of implants axial have no statistic significant difference in the anterior and posterior region (P>0.05). Periodontal splints combined with sequential surgical guides to assist patients with severe periodontitis for immediate full arch implantation and immediate restoration can expand the indications of guide assisted implant surgery. It meets the safety requirements in clinical applications.

Abstract
Gastric cancer seriously affects human health and research on gastric cancer is attracting more and more attentions. In recent years, molecular targets have become the research focus. Accumulating evidence indicates that miR-450a-5p plays a critical role in cancer progression. However, the biological role of miR-450a-5p in gastric carcinogenesis remains largely unknown. In this study, we explore the effects and mechanisms of miR-450a-5p on the development and progression of gastric cancer. We used gain-of-function approaches to investigate the role of miR-450a-5p on gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis using biological and molecular techniques including real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), CCK-8, colony formation, flow cytometry, Western blot, wound healing, transwell chamber, dual luciferase reporter, and tumor xenograft mouse model. We found that gastric cancer cells have low expression of miR-450a-5p and overexpression of miR-450a-5p inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and induced apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, we demonstrated that ectopic expression of miR-450a-5p inhibited gastric cancer growth in vivo. At the molecular level, overexpression of miR-450a-5p significantly increased the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins, including caspase-3, caspase-9, and Bax, and inhibited the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Luciferase reporter experiment suggested that camp response element binding protein 1 (CREB1) had a negative correlation with miR-450a-5p expression, and knockdown of CREB1 alleviated gastric cancer growth. Furthermore, we also found that miR-450a-5p inhibited the activation of AKT/GSK-3β signaling pathway to inhibit the progression of gastric cancer. Collectively, miR-450a-5p repressed gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion and induced apoptosis through targeting CREB1 by inhibiting AKT/GSK-3β signaling pathway. MiR-450a-5p could be a novel molecular target for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Précis We present a valid and reproducible nomogram that combined the TNM stage as well as the Ki-67 index and carcinoembryonic antigen levels; the nomogram may be an indispensable tool to help predict individualized risks of death and help clinicians manage patients with gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma. Background To analyze the long-term outcomes of patients with grade 3 GNEC who underwent curative surgery and investigated whether the combination of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and Ki-67 index can predict the prognosis of patients with gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (GNEC) and constructed a nomogram to predict patient survival. Methods In the training cohort, data were collected from 405 patients with GNEC after radical surgery at seven Chinese centers. A nomogram was constructed to predict long-term prognosis. Data for the validation cohort were collected from 305 patients. Results The 5-year overall survival (OS) was worse in the high CEA group than in the normal CEA group (40.5% vs. 55.2%, p = 0.013). The 5-year OS was significantly worse in the high Ki-67 index group than in the low Ki-67 index group (47.9% vs. 57.2%, p = 0.012). Accordingly, we divided the whole cohort into a KC(-) group (low Ki-67 index and normal CEA) and KC(+) group (high Ki-67 index and/or high CEA). The KC(+) group had a worse prognosis than the KC(-) group (64.6% vs. 46.8%, p < 0.001). KC(+) and the AJCC 8th stage were independent factors for OS. Then, we combined KC status and the AJCC 8th stage to establish a nomogram; the C-index and area under the curve (AUC) were higher for the nomogram than for the AJCC 8th stage (C-index: 0.660 vs. 0.635, p = 0.005; AUC: 0.700 vs. 0.675, p = 0.020). The calibration curve verified that the nomogram had a good predictive value, with similar findings in the validation groups. Conclusions The nomogram based on KC status and the AJCC 8th stage predicted the prognosis of patients with GNEC well.

Abstract
Intrauterine hypoxia (IUH) affects the growth and development of offspring. It remains unclear that how long the impact of IUH on cognitive function lasts and whether sexual differences exist. Spermidine (SPD) has shown to improve cognition, but its effect on the cognitive function of IUH offspring remains unknown. In the present study we investigated the influence of IUH on body weight and neurological, motor and cognitive function and the expression of APP, BACE1 and Tau5 proteins in brain tissues in 2- and 4-month-old IUH rat offspring, as well as the effects of SPD intervention on these parameters. IUH rat model was established by treating pregnant rats with intermittent hypoxia on gestational days 15-21, meanwhile pregnant rats were administered SPD (5 mg·kg-1·d-1;ip) for 7 days. Neurological deficits were assessed in the Longa scoring test; motor and cognitive functions were evaluated in coat hanger test and active avoidance test, respectively. We found that IUH decreased the body weight of rats in both sexes but merely impaired motor and cognitive function in female rats without changing neurological function in the rat offspring of either sex at 2 months of age. For 4-month-old offspring, IUH decreased body weight in males and impaired neurological function and increased cognitive function in both sexes. IUH did not affect APP, BACE1 or Tau5 protein expression in either the hippocampus or cortex of all offspring; however, it increased the cortical Tau5 level in 2-month-old female offspring. Surprisingly, SPD intervention prevented weight loss. SPD intervention reversed the motor and cognitive decline caused by IUH in 2-month-old female rat offspring. Taken together, IUH-induced cognitive decline in rat offspring is sex-dependent during puberty and can be recovered in adult rats. SPD intervention improves IUH-induced cognitive and neural function decline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a novel nomogram to predict individual 1, 3, and 5 years disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma/mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma [(MA)NEC]. BACKGROUND Among patients undergoing radical resection of gastric (MA)NEC, there is still a high tendency for relapse. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 777 patients with gastric (MA)NEC at 23 centers in China from 2004 to 2015 was performed. Based on the established nomogram, which included age, ASA, pT, pN and Ki67, the overall patients were divided into low-risk group (LRG) and high-risk group (HRG). RESULTS The median follow-up time was 40 months (1-169 months). The C-index, AUC and time-ROC of the nomogram were significantly higher than that of the 8th edition AJCC and ENETS TNM staging systems. The 3-year DFS of patients in HRG generated by the nomogram was significantly lower than that in LRG (all patients: 35% vs 66.9%, p < 0.001), and there were still significant differences in stratified analysis of the TNM staging systems. The local recurrence rate (10.5% vs 2.6%) and distant recurrence rate (45.1% vs 22.6%) in HRG were significantly higher than those in LRG, especially in anastomotic recurrence (6.3% vs 2%), liver recurrence (20.7% vs 13.4%) and peritoneal metastasis (12.7% vs 2.6%). CONCLUSIONS Compared with AJCC and ENETS TNM staging systems, the established novel validated nomogram had a significantly better prediction ability for DFS and recurrence patterns in patients with gastric (MA)NEC. It can also compensate for the shortcomings of existing AJCC and ENETS TNM staging in predicting individual recurrence risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) system or the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging manual are suitable for gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas and/or mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinomas (G-NECs/MANECs). METHODS Patients in a multicentric series with G-NEC/MANEC who underwent curative-intent surgical resection for a primary tumor were included. An optimal staging system was proposed base on analysis of the T and N status and validated by the SEER database. RESULTS Compared with the ENETS system, the survival curves of the T category and N category in the 8th AJCC system were better separated and distributed in a more balanced way, but the survival curves of T2 vs. T3, N0 vs. N1, and N3a vs. N3b overlapped. For the T category, the 8th AJCC T category was modified by combining T2 and T3, which was consistent with the T category in the 6th AJCC manual for GC. For the N category, the optimal cut-off values of metastatic lymph nodes using X-tile were also similar to those of the N category in the 6th AJCC system. The Kaplan-Meier plots of the 6th AJCC system showed statistically significant differences between individual substages. Compared with the other 2 classifications, the 6th AJCC system also showed superior prognostic stratification. Similar results were obtained in both multicentric and SEER validation sets. CONCLUSIONS Compared to the 8th AJCC and ENETS systems, the 6th AJCC staging system for GC is more suitable for G-NEC/MANEC and can be adopted in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect and mechanism of peroxiredoxin1 (PRDX1) in epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) of gastric cancer cells. Methods: The expression of PRDX1 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 70 paraffin specimens of cancer and normal mucosa adjacent to gastric cancer, and the relationship between PRDX1 protein and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. Then PRDX1-small interfering RNA (siRNA) was synthetized and transfected into human gastric cancer cell line AGS, and 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to test cell proliferation. Transwell chamber assay was employed to test invasion of cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot were utilized to test the expressions of PRDX1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and claudin-1. Results: The positive rate of PRDX1 protein expression in gastric cancer was 81.4%, higher than that in normal mucosa (27.1%, P<0.05). The expression of PRDX1 protein was related to invasive depth and lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer (P<0.05). The expressions of PRDX1 mRNA and protein in AGS cells (2.216±0.445, 1.212±0.136), were higher than those in GES-1 cells (0.342±0.041, 0.328±0.038) (P<0.05). When PRDX1-siRNA was transfected into AGS cells, the proliferation of AGS cells was significantly inhibited (all P<0.05). The invasion and migration rate of AGS cells in the transfection group [(112.00±17.98), (50.87±9.79)%] were significantly lower than those of the negative control group [(192.50±22.02), (83.03±8.67)%] and blank control group [(193.83±22.40), (82.40±7.21)%] (all P<0.05). The expressions of mRNA and protein of N-cadherin, vimentin and claudin-1 decreased, while the expression of E-cadherin increased when PRDX1-siRNA was transfected into AGS cells (P<0.05). Conclusion: PRDX1 may promote the development of gastric cancer by regulating the EMT of gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
Background and Objective: No specialized prognostic model for patients with gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) exists for intraoperative clinical decision making. This study aims to establish a new prognostic model to provide individual treatment decisions for patients with GCPM. Method: This retrospective analysis included 324 patients with GCPM diagnosed pathologically by laparoscopy from January 2007 to January 2018 who were randomly assigned to different sets (227 in the training set and 97 in the internal validation set). A nomogram was established from preoperative and intraoperative variables determined by a Cox model. The predictive ability and clinical applicability of the PM nomogram (PMN) were compared with the 15th Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma (JCGC) Staging Guidelines for PM (P1abc). Additional external validation was performed using a dataset (n = 39) from the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China. Results: The median survival time was 8 (range, 1–90) months. In the training set, each PMN substage had significantly different survival curves (P < 0.001), and the PMN was superior to the P1abc based on the results of time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve, C-index, Akaike information criterion and likelihood ratio chi-square analyses. In the internal and external validation sets, the PMN was also better than the P1abc in terms of its predictive ability. Of the PMN1 patients, those undergoing palliative resection had better overall survival (OS) than those undergoing exploratory surgery (P < 0.05). Among the patients undergoing exploratory surgery, those who received chemotherapy exhibited better OS than those who did not (P < 0.05). Among the patients who received palliative resection, only PMN1 patients exhibited better OS following chemotherapy (P < 0.05). Conclusion: We developed and validated a simple, specific PM model for patients with GCPM that can predict prognosis well and guide treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic values of the AJCC staging system for gastric cancer (GC-AJCC), the AJCC staging system for gastric neuroendocrine tumours (NET-AJCC) and the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) system for gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma and mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MA)NEC remain controversial. METHODS Data on patients with (MA)NEC from 21 centres in China were analysed. Different staging systems were evaluated by performing Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and calculating the concordance index (C-index) and Akaike information criterion (AIC). Based on three existing systems, a modified staging system (mTNM) was developed. RESULTS A total of 871 patients were included. In the GC-AJCC system, an overlap was noticed for pT2 and pT3 categories. Patients with stage IIIC disease had a similar prognosis to those with stage IV disease. The pT categories of the NET-AJCC system had a lower C-index and higher AIC than those of the other systems. In the ENETS system, there was a low proportion (0·2 per cent) of patients with stage IIIA and a high proportion (67·6 per cent) of stage IIIB disease. The mTNM system adopted the NET-AJCC pT and GC-AJCC pN and pM definitions, and was developed based on the ENETS stage definitions. The proportion of patients in each stage was better distributed and the mTNM system showed improved prognostic performance in predicting overall and disease-free survival. CONCLUSION The mTNM system offers more accurate prognostic value for gastric (MA)NEC than the AJCC or ENETS staging systems.

Abstract
The predictors for the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) are not clear. We intended to explore the role of PTEN and microsatellite (MS) in GC, showing their potential as prognostic markers. Primary gastric cancer tissues, adjacent normal tissues, and clinicopathological parameters of 187 patients were collected. The expression level of PTEN and MS status were classified by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The relationship among indicators was compared by the chi-square test. The survival curves were delineated by Kaplan-Meier and tested by Log-rank methods. The impact of multiple factors on prognosis was determined by COX proportional hazards model. Significantly, PTEN expression was associated with lymphatic invasion (p=0.011) and Lauren grade (p=0.015). MS status was associated with differentiation (p=0.006) and Lauren grades (p=0.035). TNM stage was associated with MS status under positive PTEN expression (p=0.014). Patients with microsatellite stability (MSS) had worse median overall survival (OS) than that with microsatellite instability (MSI) (p=0.013). Patients with negative PTEN expression had a worse median OS than that with positive PTEN expression (p<0.001). The tumor subtype of PTEN negative-MSS (p<0.001) and PTEN negative-MSI (p=0.042) were strong predictors of poor survival. Negative PTEN expression and MSS might lead to unfavorable prognosis due to their association with clinicopathological parameters of GC. PTEN expression and MS status could be predictors for the prognosis of GC.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the role of PM2.5 exposure in inducing apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells and thereafter emphysema in mice, and the underlying mechanism. PM2.5 exposure model in mice was constructed. Lung tissues were harvested from healthy mice and model mice for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Protein levels of Forkhead box O3 (FOXO3A) and BIM in lung tissues were detected by Western blot. Subsequently, A549 cells were induced with increased doses of PM2.5, followed by determination of relative levels of FOXO3A, BIM (Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death) and clv-caspase3. Apoptosis in PM2.5-exposed A549 cells was assessed. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was conducted to uncover the interaction between FOXO3A and BIM. Finally, regulatory effects of FOXO3A/BIM on apoptosis of A549 cells were determined. PM2.5 exposure resulted in expansion of alveolar spatial structure and decline of lung function, thus leading to emphysema in mice. Protein levels of FOXO3A and BIM were markedly upregulated in lungs of model mice. Relative levels of FOXO3A, BIM and clv-caspase3 were enhanced in PM2.5 -exposed A549 cells, which were reversed by transfection of si-FOXO3A. ChIP assay confirmed that FOXO3A was able to regulate BIM transcription through binding its promoter regions. Importantly, regulatory effects of FOXO3A on apoptosis of PM2.5 -exposed A549 cells were partially reversed by overexpression of BIM. PM2.5 exposure leads to upregulation of FOXO3A, which triggers BIM transcription, thus inducing apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells and emphysema in mice.

Abstract
Background BATF2, also known as SARI, has been implicated in tumor progression. However, its role, underlying mechanisms, and prognostic significance in human gastric cancer (GC) are elusive. Methods We obtained GC tissues and corresponding normal tissues from 8 patients and identified BATF2 as a downregulated gene via RNA-seq. qRT-PCR and western blotting were applied to examine BATF2 levels in normal and GC tissues. The prognostic value of BATF2 was elucidated using tissue microarray and IHC analyses in two independent GC cohorts. The functional roles and mechanistic insights of BATF2 in GC growth and metastasis were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Results BATF2 expression was significantly decreased in GC tissues at both the mRNA and protein level. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that BATF2 was an independent prognostic factor and effective predictor in patients with GC. Low BATF2 expression was remarkably associated with peritoneal recurrence after curative gastrectomy. Moreover, elevated BATF2 expression effectively suppressed GC growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, BATF2 binds to p53 and enhances its protein stability, thereby inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK. Tissue microarray results indicated that the prognostic value of BATF2 was dependent on ERK activity. In addition, the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of BATF2 mRNA by METTL3 repressed its expression in GC. Conclusions Collectively, our findings indicate the pivotal role of BATF2 in GC and highlight the regulatory function of the METTL3/BATF2/p53/ERK axis in modulating GC progression, which provides potential prognostic and therapeutic targets for GC treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the growing global burden of gastric carcinoma (GC) and the urgent need for biomolecular targeted therapies, this study aimed to elucidate the relationship between EphA1 and the tumor microenvironment (focusing primarily on the key inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and tumor angiogenic cytokine VEGF) to identify a new potential therapeutic target. MATERIAL AND METHODS IHC and qRT-PCR were performed to quantify the protein and gene expression levels of EphA1, IL-6, and VEGF in normal mucosal tissues, carcinoma tissues, and paracarcinomatous tissues from 57 GC patients. Spearman's rank correlation test was performed to determine the relationship between EphA1, IL-6, and VEGF expression levels. The relationships of EphA1 with clinicopathologic parameter and survival in GC patients were also evaluated. RESULTS The protein and gene expression levels of EphA1 were all attenuated gradually from carcinoma tissues to paracarcinomatous tissues and then to normal mucosal tissues in GC patients. Additionally, significant correlations between the overexpression of EphA1 with aggressive clinicopathological features and shorter survival time of GC patients were verified. In particular, we found a significant positive correlation between the expression of EphA1 and tumor microenvironment hallmark proteins IL-6 and VEGF in carcinoma tissues and paracarcinomatous tissues. CONCLUSIONS EphA1 can promote the occurrence and development of GC by its selective high expression in cancer tissues and its relationship with malignant clinical features and prognosis of GC patients. The underlying potential mechanism appears to involve enhancement of the tumor microenvironment, which via drives the expression of tumor microenvironment hallmark proteins IL-6 and VEGF.

Abstract
Weyl points are often believed to appear in pairs with opposite chirality. In this work, we show by first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis that single Weyl phonons with linear dispersion and double Weyl phonons with quadratic dispersion are simultaneously present between two specific phonon branches in realistic materials with trigonal or hexagonal lattices. These phonon Weyl points are guaranteed to locate at high-symmetry points due to the screw rotational symmetry, forming a unique triangular Weyl complex. In sharp contrast to conventional Weyl systems with surface arcs terminated at the projections of a pair of Weyl points with opposite chirality, the phonon surface arcs of the unconventional triangular Weyl complex connect the projections of one double Weyl point and two single Weyl points. Importantly, the phonon surface arcs originating from the triangular Weyl complex are extremely long and span the entire surface Brillouin zone. Furthermore, there are only nontrivial phonon surface states across the isofrequency surface, which facilitates their detection in experiments and further applications. Our work not only offers the promising triangular phonon Weyl complex but also provides guidance for exploring triangular Weyl bosons in both phononic and photonic systems.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a quantitative three-dimensional method based on intraoral scan to evaluate the changes of soft tissue, and to evaluate the changes of supracrestal gingival thickness (SGT) in skeletal class Ⅲ patients induced by periodontal regenerative and corticotomy surgery (PRCS). Methods: Twenty-two systematically and periodontally healthy skeletal class Ⅲ patients (4 males and 18 females, aged between 19 and 35 years), who were in need of combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment and referred to the Department of Periodontology from the Department of Orthodontics and the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January, 2018 to March, 2019, were collected in the study. The teeth involved were 112 anterior teeth (46 maxillary anterior teeth and 66 mandibular anterior teeth). PRCS in anterior tooth area was conducted before orthodontic decompensation. Probing depth (PD), bleeding index (BI) and keratinized gingiva width (KGW) were recorded before surgery and 6 months post-surgery. The intraoral digital impressions of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth were obtained by 3-shape intraoral scanner before surgery and 6 months after surgery. The Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files were processed using Geomagic qualify 12.2 software to establish the soft tissue morphological measurement model, and to quantitatively analyze the changes of gingival thickness situated 1 to 2 mm apical to the free gingival margin on the median sagittal measurement plane. Results: Probing depth and bleeding index had no significant difference before and 6 months after operation (P>0.05). KGW in 6-month post-operation group [(5.18±2.32) mm] was significantly higher than that in pre-operation group [(4.22±1.43) mm] (P<0.05). Supracrestal gingival thickness situated 1 to 2 mm apical to the free gingival margin also significantly increased 6 months after surgery (P<0.05). The changes of gingival thickness situated 1 to 2 mm apical to the free gingival margin in the upper anterior area were (0.68±0.56) and (1.00±0.69) mm, respectively. The changes in the lower anterior area were (0.38±0.42) and (0.58±0.45) mm, respectively. The gingival changes of the upper anterior teeth were also significantly higher than those of the lower anterior teeth (P<0.01). Conclusions: The described quantitative measurement based on intraoral scan could be an effective method for quantitative evaluation of the changes of soft tissue. PRCS could safely increase the supracrestal gingival thickness as well as KGW in skeletal class Ⅲ patients who were in need of combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors of coloanal anastomotic stricture after laparoscopic intersphincteric resection (Lap-ISR) for patients with low rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed to collect clinicopathological data from a prospective database (registration number: ChiCTR-ONC-15007506) at the Department of Colorectal Surgery, the Characteristic Medical center of PLA Rocket Force. From June 2011 to August 2018, a total of 144 consecutive patients with low rectal cancer who underwent Lap-ISR were enrolled in the study. Inclusion criteria: (1) reconstruction of digestive tract by end-to-end hand-made coloanal anastomosis (HCAA); (2) distance from lower tumor margin to anorected sphincter ring < 1 cm and distance from lower tumor margin to intersphincteric groove ≥ 1 cm; (3) T1-3 stage tumor with expected negative circumferential resection margin evaluated by preoperative MRI or 3D endoanal ultrasound; (4) rectal cancer confirmed as well- or moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma; (5) preoperative Wexner incontinence score >10 points. Exclusion criteria: (1) follow-up period less than 3 months; (2) multiple primary cancers; (3) undergoing colonic J-pouch, coloplasty or reconstruction of end-to-side coloanal anastomosis; (4) death within perioperative period (within 3 months after surgery). Coloanal anastomotic stricture was diagnosed if the index finger or 12 mm electronic colonoscope had obvious resistance through the anastomosis or new rectum, or could not pass, accompanied by clinical symptoms such as difficult defecation and anal incontinence. Degree of anastomotic stricture was divided into 3 grades: grade A required anal enlargement, laxative or enema to assist defecation without active surgical treatment; grade B required surgery or endoscopic intervention; grade C required definitive ostomy, including unreducible preventive ileostomy or permanent colostomy. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the effects of 28 variables, including baseline data (age, gender, body mass index, neoadjuvant therapy, etc.), tumor-related factors (distance between tumor low margin and anal edge, maximum diameter of tumor, TNM staging, etc.), surgery-related factors (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, ISR procedure, anastomotic height, etc.) and anastomotic leakage, on the postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture. Univariate analysis used χ(2) test or Fisher's exact test, then factors with P<0.05 were further included in multivariate analysis using logistic regression. Results: A total of 144 patients were enrolled in the study, including 90 males and 54 females with a median age of 59 years and median BMI of 24.88 kg/m(2). R0 resection rate was 96.5% (139/144). Median tumor distal resection margin was 1.5 (0.5 to 3.0) cm. Median follow-up was 31.5 (4 to 86) months. Coloanal anastomotic stricture was observed in 19 patients (13.2%), including 3 cases (2.1%) of grade A, 9 cases (6.2%) of grade B, and 7 cases (4.9%) of grade C. The median interval from the initial surgery to diagnosis of anastomotic stricture was 7 (1 to 31) months. Univariate analysis showed that male (χ(2)=6.795, P=0.009), radiotherapy (χ(2)=13.330, P=0.001), operation type of ISR (χ(2)=7.996, P=0.013), and anastomotic leakage (χ(2)=10.198, P=0.004) were associated with the postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture. Multivariate analysis further indicated that male (OR=5.975, 95% CI: 1.209-29.534, P=0.028), postoperative radiotherapy (OR=8.748, 95% CI: 2.397-31.929, P=0.001), and anastomotic leakage (OR=6.313, 95% CI: 1.834-21.734, P=0.003) were independent risk factor of postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture. Conclusion: For male patients, or patients with postoperative radiotherapy or anastomotic leakage, close follow-up should be carried out to prevent postoperative coloanal anastomotic stricture following Lap-ISR.

Abstract
Nontrivial low-energy excitations of crystalline solids have insightfully strengthened understanding of elementary particles in quantum field theory. Usually, topological quasiparticles are mainly focused on fermions in topological semimetals. We alternatively show by first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis that ideal type-II Weyl phonons are present in zinc-blende cadmium telluride, a well-known II-VI semiconductor. Importantly, these type-II Weyl phonons originate from the inversion between the longitudinal acoustic and transverse optical branches. Symmetry guarantees that the type-II Weyl points lie along the high-symmetry lines at the boundaries of the Brillouin zone even with a breaking of inversion symmetry, exhibiting the robustness of protected phonon features. The nontrivial phonon surface states and surface arcs projected on the semifinite (001) and (111) surfaces are investigated. The phonon surface arcs connecting the Weyl points with opposite chirality, guaranteed to be very long, are clearly visible. We not only offer a promising candidate for studying type-II Weyl phonons but also provide a route to realize symmetry-protected nontrivial phonons and related applications in realistic materials.

Abstract
Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a type of bone deformity found in fast-growing chickens, which induce inflammatory responses. Prostaglandins (PGs) implicate in bone formation and bone resorption, associated with inflammation in an autocrine/paracrine manner. This study used qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis to identify the expression patterns of PG-related genes in the erythrocytes of broiler chickens and explore the effects of thiram-induced TD and the recombinant glutathione-S-transferase A3 (rGSTA3) protein on the expression of PG-related genes: GSTA3, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), prostaglandin D2 synthase (PTGDS), prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES), prostaglandin E2 receptor (PTGER) 3, PTGER4 and prostaglandin reductase 1 (PTGR1). Interestingly, the results showed that these seven PG-related genes expression was identified in the erythrocytes of broiler chicken, and thiram-induced TD suppressed the expression of these PG-related genes in the initial stage of TD and promoted their expression in TD recovery. These findings demonstrated that the immunoregulatory function of erythrocytes can be inhibited in the early stage of TD and promoted in the recovery stage by modulating the expression of PG-related genes. Further, the rGSTA3 protein can modulate the expression of PG-related genes in erythrocytes and participate in the recovery of TD.

Abstract
Objective: This study explored the prognostic factors of patients with supratentorial anaplastic gliomas and tried to propose a prognostic scoring scale with aim to provide theoretical reference for clinical treatment. Methods: The clinical data of 198 patients surgically treated for primary anaplastic glioma in Henan Provincial People's Hospital between Jan 2009 and Jan 2018 were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify prognostic factors with methods of Kaplan-Meier plot and Cox proportional hazard model, respectively. Based on the prognostic factors, a scoring scale was thereby proposed. Results: Univariate analysis results showed age, tumor location, tumor diameter, preoperative KPS, extent of resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, pathology with oligodendroglial components, 1p/19q, IDH, MGMT were significantly correlated with survival (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis results showed age ≥45 years old, tumor diameter ≥6 cm, preoperative KPS<70, without radiotherapy, 1p/19q intact, MGMT promoter unmethylation were independent prognostic risk factors (P<0.05). Patients were scored with 0-6 points based on the formulation that each independent prognostic risk factor was assigned with 1 point. Then patients were further grouped according to the score. Those with less than 2 points were low-risk group, equal to 2 points were medium-risk group, equal to 3 points were high-risk group, more than or equal to 4 points were extremely high-risk group. There were significant differences in survival between the different groups (P<0.000 1). Conclusions: The higher score, the shorter survival time. This prognostic scoring scale can provide a theoretical basis for the prognosis estimation of patients with anaplastic glioma and help to carry out personalized clinical treatment.

Abstract
Background Angiogenic factor with G-patch and FHA domain 1 (AGGF1), as a newly identified human angiogenic factor, is overexpressed in some types of malignant tumors and closely associated with patient’s prognosis. However, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of AGGF1 in gastric cancer (GC) still remain unclear. Methods In this study, AGGF1 level in GC tissues and cell lines was analyzed by western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). After knockdown of AGGF expression by RNA interference in GC cell lines MKN-45 and MGC-803, wound healing and transwell assays were conducted to examine the effects of AGGF1 on migration and invasion. Tumor growth was assessed in a mouse xenograft model in vivo. Furthermore, expression levels of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarkers and involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway were detected by western blot and qRT-PCR. Results Compared to those in normal groups, the protein and mRNA of AGGF1 expression levels were significantly higher both in GC tissues and cell lines (all P < 0.05). Knockdown of AGGF1 dramatically inhibited the invasion and migration of MKN-45 and MGC-803 cells (all P < 0.01) in vitro, and suppressed the tumor growth of nude mice xenograft model in vivo. Western blot revealed alterations in EMT biomarkers, suggesting the role of AGGF1 in EMT. Moreover, we found that downregulated expression of AGGF1 attenuated Wnt/β-catenin related protein expression. Conclusions Collectively, knockdown of AGGF1 inhibits the invasion and migration of gastric cancer via epithelial–mesenchymal transition through Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
The ferromagnetic Weyl semimetals with inversion symmetry usually possess odd pairs of Weyl fermions. Here, we present an inversion eigenvalue argument to dictate the existence of even pairs of ferromagnetic Weyl fermions. We show, by a combination of first-principles calculations and symmetry analyses, that this exotic topological feature can be verified in ferromagnetic oxides in different space groups. In particular, a realistic candidate, i.e., hollandite RbCr_{4}O_{8} with a high Curie temperature (∼295 K), hosts intriguing twin pairs of Weyl fermions, which are robustly stable against perturbations. Moreover, our effective model and symmetry analysis show that the twin pairs of Weyl fermions originate from a mirrored nodal ring pair. The nontrivial surface states and Fermi arcs of RbCr_{4}O_{8} are clearly visible, further revealing the topological features. This work strengthens the understanding of the parity analysis in exploring ferromagnetic topological materials with unconventional fermionic excitations.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical value of static and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating the effect of electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse postpartum. Methods: A total of 50 primiparas diagnosed as pelvic organ prolapse postpartum from February 2016 to November 2017 were randomly divided into treatment group (24 cases) and control group (26 cases). The control group recovered spontaneously, and the treatment group received electric stimulation combined with biofeedback therapy (6 weeks). All subjects underwent static and dynamic MRI before and after treatment. The thickness of bilateral puborectal muscles, levator ani hiatus area (LHA), H line, M line and levator ani plate angle (LPA) were respectively measured in rest state and strain state at 42 days and 12 weeks postpartum, and the differences of parameters were compared between two groups. Results: (1) Compared with 42 days postpartum, the effective rate of pelvic organ prolapse was 15.4% (4/26) in the control group and 62.5% (15/24) in the treatment group, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). (2) Compared with 42 days postpartum, the thickness of bilateral puborectal muscles in the treatment group increased at 12 weeks postpartum, while that of the H line, LHA, M line and LPA in strain state decreased. (3) At 12 weeks postpartum, the thickness of the bilateral puborectal muscle in the treatment group was greater, and LHA, M line, and LPA in strain state were less than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Electrical stimulation combined with biofeedback therapy can improve pelvic organ prolapse due to vaginal delivery, and the static and dynamic MRI can objectively evaluate the effect of pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy on improving the pelvic floor supporting structure and function, providing an important support and guidance for restoration of postpartum pelvic organ prolapse.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a quantitative three-dimensional method based on intraoral scan and apply it to evaluation of the facial soft tissue contour alterations following single immediate implant and immediate provisionalization (IIPP) in central incisor via intraoral scanning. Methods: This study was a prospective clinical study. The trial was conducted at Department of Implantology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, from January 2016 to September 2017. Twenty-nine eligible consecutive patients (15 women, 14 men) with a mean age of (34.3±12.0) were included and received immediate replacement of the failure maxillary single central incisor. A screw-retained immediate restoration was delivered for each patient. At 6-month follow-up, impression was taken and a screw-retained permanent restoration was performed for each patient. The anterior maxillary region was scanned by an intraoral scanning system at pre-surgery and 1-year follow-up. The Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files were output to a dedicated software and superimposed. Mid-facial recession and gingival zenith symmetry at 1-year follow-up were measured in the digital models. Three-dimensional configurations of the contour change volume were calculated and reconstructed for visual analysis. Furthermore, the following parameters were used to analyze the reconstructed volume: mean contour change in thickness (△d), mesio-distal width (D(W)), coronal-apical height (D(H)), contour change at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm apical to the free gingival margin on the implant site. Results: Twenty-seven out of twenty-nine enrolled patients were finally available for analysis. At 1-year follow-up, the mid-facial mucosa level at implant site was (0.23±0.39) mm apical to the gingival zenith of the contralateral tooth. In general, a contour collapse was found in every patient. △d, D(W) and D(H) of the collapsed volume were (0.62±0.22), (11.03±1.74) and (6.82±1.52) mm, respectively. Contour change at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mm apical to the free gingival margin on the implant site were (0.54±0.48), (0.87±0.62), (1.03±0.46), (0.96±0.52), (0.90±0.52), (0.89±0.57) mm. Conclusions: The described quantitative measurement based on intraoral scan can be an effective method for assessment of soft tissue contour changes. At 1 year following single IIPP treatment in maxillary incisor, free gingival margin is stable, with only mild recession. The mean level of the facial soft tissue contour collapse is 0.62 mm.

Abstract
Objective: To know the incidence of heat stroke and explore it's prediction model in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Methods: An epidemiological investigation was conducted on heat stroke cases in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from 2013 to 2017. Daily temperature data during this period were collected to explore it's influence. Results: 246 heat stroke cases were reported and investigated, 70.3% (173/246) of them were male. 170 cases are severe heat stroke, accounting for 69.1%. 28 patients died, accounting for 11.4% of all cases of heat stroke, and 16.5% (28/170) of severe heat stroke cases. Thermoplegia (56.5%, 96/170) was the most popular type among severe heat stroke cases. Heat prostration, heat cramps and mixed type account for 17.1% (29/170) , 12.4% (21/170) and 14.0% (24/170) respectively. Scatter plot and linear regression demonstrated that there was a significant linear relation between number of high temperature days and number of heat stroke cases (P<0.01) . And the prediction model is: Predictive number of annual heat stroke cases=β×Number of annual high temperature days+Intercept. Leave-one-out cross validation result shows that the predictive number of annual heat stroke cases from 2013 to 2017 were 85.7%, 90.9%, 83.3%, 91.9 and 84.3% respectively. Conclusion: There was a significant linear relation between number of high temperature days and number of heat stroke cases in Pudong New Area. The related work arrangement for heat stroke prevention could be well planed according to the prediction model.
