Abstract
To study the effect of internal particle size on the microstructure properties and thermal decomposition characteristics of site mixed emulsion explosive at different altitudes. Site mixed emulsion explosive was prepared with different shear rate. The particle size, viscosity, sensitized bubbles, detonation velocity and peak pressure of the emulsion explosive were tested after stored at different simulated altitudes. The thermal decomposition characteristics of emulsion matrix prepared at three different rotational speeds were measured by thermogravimetric analyzer and kinetic analysis was performed by non-isothermal model Kissinger-Akah-Sunose (KAS) method. The results show that with the increase in altitude, the internal phase size showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and the number of sensitized bubbles within the emulsion explosive decreases. At an altitude of 0 m, the detonation velocity and peak overpressure of the emulsion explosive prepared by 1600 r min-1 increased 4.78% and 29.09%, respectively compared with 1200 r min-1, and at an altitude of 4500 m, the detonation velocity increased 11.87%, the peak overpressure increased 43.98%. The thermal decomposition activation energy of the emulsion matrix at 1600 r min-1 increased 13.14% compared to 1200 r min-1. It shows that in the production of site mixed emulsion explosive at high altitude, reducing the particle size of the internal phase of emulsion explosives in a certain range can effectively improve the performance of emulsion explosives.

Abstract
Objective: To propose a method to determine the unreasonableness of the fixed angle in posterior atlantoaxial fusion surgery based on the ratio of line segments between anatomical landmarks of the atlantoaxial joint. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. According to the inclusion criteria, a screening was performed on the database of asymptomatic volunteers who had full-spine lateral X-ray films taken at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from May 2016 to May 2021. A total of 207 volunteers were included, comprising 98 males with an age of (40.68±13.87) years and 109 females with an age of (42.64±14.45) years. On the lateral X-ray film, a line (L) parallel to the posterior margin of the odontoid process was drawn at the posterior edge of the lower articular surface of the axis (a), intersecting the atlas at points b, c, and d. The line segments ab, bd, bc, and the C1-C2 angle were measured, and the ratios of bd/ab and bc/ab were calculated. The ability of bd/ab and bc/ab to predict the unreasonable fixed angle of the atlantoaxial joint (≥22°) was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis in both male and female. The areas under the ROC curves (AUC) were calculated, and the performance of the two prediction methods was compared using the Delong's test. The cutoff value for distinguishing the unreasonableness of the C1-C2 angle and the sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Results: The ROC curve analysis in the male group showed that the AUC of bc/ab for predicting the unreasonable C1-C2 angle was 0.791 (95%CI: 0.696-0.867, P<0.001), with a cutoff value of 0.449, sensitivity of 97.3%, and specificity of 70.0%. The performance was significantly better than that of bd/ab (cutoff value 1.100, AUC=0.532, 95%CI: 0.428-0.634, sensitivity 26.3%, specificity 83.3%, P<0.001). The ROC curve analysis in the female group showed that the AUC of bc/ab for predicting the unreasonable C1-C2 angle was 0.804 (95%CI: 0.745-0.852, P<0.001), with a cutoff value of 0.488, sensitivity of 90.5%, and specificity of 58.6%. The performance was significantly better than that of bd/ab (cutoff value 0.960, AUC=0.687, 95%CI: 0.624-0.748, sensitivity 90.5%, specificity 44.8%, P=0.041). Conclusions: The bc/ab value can be used as an effective indicator to predict the unreasonable C1-C2 angle in posterior atlantoaxial fusion surgery with high diagnostic accuracy. The cutoff value for males is<0.449, and for females is<0.488.

Abstract
Seasonal influenza leads to a significant disease burden, and older people infected with influenza are susceptible to various complications. Influenza immunization can prevent infection effectively and significantly reduce the risk of complications and severe cases. Creating a supportive environment for vaccination is crucial in advancing the influenza vaccination rate among the elderly population. In China, the present environment for supporting influenza vaccinations among the elderly is primarily comprised of policies for free vaccination and expense reimbursement, which exhibit noteworthy regional variations across cities and regions. This study systematically analyses the supportive environment and regional disparities associated with influenza vaccination among the elderly in China. It aims to comprehend the opportunities for influenza prevention and control resulting from the current background of influenza vaccination and to identify potential health inequality challenges caused by regional differences. The findings should inform the introduction of relevant national policies and programs to protect the health and well-being of the elderly population.

Abstract
We explored the involvement of orphan nuclear receptor 4 A1 (NR4A1) in myocardial fibrosis mediated by transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) and its response to cytosporone B (Csn-B). We developed a diabetic cardiomyopathy mouse model by administering a high-fat diet in conjunction with a low-dose streptozotocin injection. Our analysis involved monitoring alterations in blood glucose and lipid levels, cardiac function and structure, as well as profibrotic factors such as α smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I, collagen III, TGF-β1, connective tissue growth factor, and fibronectin. These assessments were conducted using biochemical techniques, Doppler ultrasound, histopathology, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were extracted from suckling mice and cultivated in a high-glucose medium to simulate diabetes-induced myocardial fibrosis in vitro. These CFs were then subjected to coculture experiments with TGF-β1 or Csn-B. The proliferation and migration of CFs were assessed using cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assays and Transwell assays, respectively. Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays were employed to evaluate the expression levels of NR4A1, p-NR4A1, and α-SMA in CFs treated with TGF-β1 after NR4A1 knockdown or Csn-B administration, respectively. In diabetic heart tissue, the expression of p-NR4A1 was notably elevated. Furthermore, CFs exhibited enhanced proliferative capabilities and increased p-NR4A1 expression following high glucose exposure. Interestingly, NR4A1 knockdown resulted in a significant increase in the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in CFs following treatment with TGF-β1. Moreover, our observations revealed a marked decrease in p-NR4A1 levels and a reduction in the expression of fibrosis-related proteins after Csn-B treatment. In diabetic mice treated with Csn-B, we noted diminished NR4A1 phosphorylation and a mitigation of myocardial fibrosis. We concluded that in the mouse model, Csn-B played a pivotal role in inhibiting diabetes-induced myocardial fibrosis by activating NR4A1.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the level of psychological distress among Chinese children and adolescents and analyze its lifestyle influencing factors. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health. A lotal of 120 285 Han Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years with complete information on the psychological distress scale and lifestyle factors were selected, including 58 432 boys and 61 853 girls. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) measured psychological distress, and lifestyles such as physical activity, sedentary behavior, diet, and sleep were also investigated. K10 scores of different genders were compared using the t-test, and the levels of psychological distress were compared using the χ2 test. Logistic regression was used to analyze lifestyle risk factors associated with high psychological distress, and multiple linear regression was used to find the relationship between K10 scores and lifestyle scores. Results: The average K10 score for Han Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years was 21.25±7.35, with girls (21.43±7.35) scoring higher than boys (21.06±7.36), the difference was statistically significant (t=8.72, P<0.001). The rate of high psychological distress was 29.81%, with girls (31.08%) reporting higher rates than boys (28.46%), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=98.54,P<0.001). 56.10% of children and adolescents have unhealthy lifestyles, with girls (58.77%) reporting higher rates than boys (53.27%), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=368.53,P<0.001). Except for insufficient outdoor activities for girls (P=0.128), lifestyles such as insufficient physical activity, insufficient muscle-and-bone exercises, long screen time, not eating breakfast, eggs and dairy products every day, drinking sugary beverages once or more per day, and not having enough sleep are all risk factors for high psychological distress (all P<0.001). For every additional healthy lifestyle score, the K10 score decreased by 0.98 [β=-0.98 (95%CI: -1.01- -0.95)] points (P<0.001). K10 scores in each region negatively correlate with lifestyle scores (all P<0.001). Among them, the K10 score in the eastern region showed the slightest decrease as the lifestyle score increased, while the western region showed the most decrease. Conclusions: The prevalence of psychological distress and unhealthy lifestyle in Chinese children and adolescents are high and interrelated. Compared those with healthy lifestyles, children and adolescents with unhealthy lifestyles are at greater risk of high psychological distress. Therefore, promoting healthy lifestyles for children and adolescents may be one of the important ways to improve their mental health.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association between the occurrence of spermarche and menarche and psychological distress among Chinese Han children and adolescents aged 9 to 18 years. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health, and a total of 54 438 boys aged 11 to 18 years and 76 376 girls aged 9 to 18 years with psychological distress, spermarche/menarche records were included in the final analysis. The occurrence of spermarche/menarche was recorded by physicians, and psychological distress was classified according to the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale scores. The chi-square test was used to compare the difference between groups in the occurrence of spermarche/menarche, and the multinomial logistic regression model and stratification analysis was established to analyze the association between psychological distress and spermarche/menarche. Results: The incidence of spermarche/menarche in 2019 ranged from 6.3% to 96.5% for eight age groups of Chinese boys and 2.8% to 99.0% for ten age groups of girls. The rates of high psychological distress among boys and girls were 32.5% and 32.7%. Among boys aged 11 to 18 years, the rate of high psychological distress increased with age, with a trend test P<0.001, and the difference in the rate of high psychological distress between those who had and had not had their spermarche was not statistically significant in all age groups. Among girls aged 9 to 18 years, the rate of high psychological distress increased with age, with a trend P<0.001; the rate of high psychological distress was higher in the group with menarche at age 10 and 12 than in the group without menarche (all P<0.05). High psychological distress was positively correlated with spermarche among boys aged 13-15 years living in urban areas and hight level economic development areas (OR=1.11, 95%CI: 1.02-1.21;OR=1.18, 95%CI: 1.06-1.32). Overall, high psychological distress was positively correlated with menarche in girls aged 9-12 and 13-15 years (OR=1.33, 95%CI: 1.25-1.42; OR=1.22, 95%CI: 1.07-1.39). High psychological distress was positively correlated with menarche among girls aged 9-12 years living in different regions except for the Northeast region, in areas with different levels of economic development, and in urban and rural areas, in girls aged 13-15 years living in urban, central, and western regions, and in girls aged 16-18 years residing in the central region. Conclusions: This study found an association between the occurrence of spermarche/menarche and psychological distress among Chinese Han children and adolescents aged 9 to 18 years in 2019, which was particularly significant among girls aged 9 to 12 years and boys aged 13 to 15 years living in areas with higher levels of socioeconomic development.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the status of physical fitness of children and adolescents aged 13-18 years in China in 2019 and analyze its association with psychological distress. Methods: Data were drawn from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health, and 90 633 Han children and adolescents aged 13-18 years were included. Physical fitness was evaluated by "National Students Constitutional Health Standards" (2014 revised edition). Psychological distress was classified according to the scores of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale: ≤19, 20-24, 25-29, and ≥30 scores indicated no, mild, moderate, and severe psychological distress, respectively, with moderate and severe psychological distress collectively referred to as high psychological distress. The χ2 test was used to compare the distribution differences between boys and girls, the Cochran-Armitage test was used to analyze the trend, and the multinomial logistic regression in the mixed effect model was established to analyze the association between physical fitness and psychological distress. Results: In 2019, the unqualified rate of physical fitness among children and adolescents aged 13-18 years in China was 17.2%, and the prevalence of excellent and good physical fitness was 18.2%, which was lower among boys (15.9%) than girls (20.5%) with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The excellent and good physical fitness rate showed a significantly decreasing trend with age (trend test P<0.05). The rate of high psychological distress among children and adolescents aged 13-18 years in China in 2019 was 39.3%, with boys (37.0%) having a lower prevalence than girls (41.6%), supported by a statistically significant difference (P<0.05), and a decreasing trend with the degree of physical fitness was observed both in boys and girls (trend test P<0.05). The multinomial logistic regression model showed that the prevalence of moderate (OR=0.83, 95%CI: 0.79-0.88, P<0.001) and severe (OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.77-0.86, P<0.001) psychological distress were both lower in children and adolescents with excellent and good physical fitness. Conclusion: The status of physical fitness and psychological distress of Chinese children and adolescents aged 13-18 in 2019 was not optimistic, with physical fitness showing a significantly negative association with psychological distress.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the prevalence of psychological distress and to analyze its influencing factors among Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years in 2019. Methods: Data was from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health, and 148 892 children and adolescents were included. Psychological distress was measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10): scores ≤19 were defined as no psychological distress, scores between 20-24 were defined as mild psychological distress, scores between 25-29 were defined as moderate psychological distress, and scores ≥30 were defined as severe psychological distress (moderate to severe psychological distress were defined as high psychological distress). The ANOVA, t test, and χ2 test were used to compare the differences in K10 scores and high psychological distress rates among children and adolescents with different characteristics. The ANOVA and trend χ2 test were used to analyze the trends. Modified-Poisson regression models were used to determine influencing factors of high psychological distress. Results: The K10 scores for Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years in 2019 was 21.5±9.2, and their rate of high psychological distress was 31.6%. The rates of high psychological distress among children and adolescents aged 9-12, 13-15, and 16-18 years were 22.3%, 35.9%, and 38.8%. K10 scores and rates of high psychological distress showed an increasing trend as age increased (trends test all P<0.001). K10 scores and rates of high psychological distress were higher among children and adolescents who were older, female, rural, in areas with medium to low GDP per capita level, and with lower parental education (all P<0.001). Multifactorial modified-Poisson regression analysis showed that children and adolescents aged 13-15 years, 16-18 years, female, rural, and in areas with low to moderate GDP per capita level were at higher risk of high psychological distress (all P<0.05), with aOR (95%CI) of 1.55 (1.52-1.58), 1.66 (1.63-1.69), 1.07 (1.05-1.09), 1.02 (1.01-1.04), 1.10 (1.07-1.12). Children and adolescents in areas with medium to high GDP per capita level, whose father had a secondary or high school degree, whose father had a college degree or above, whose mother had a secondary or high school degree, and whose mother had a college degree or above were at lower risk of high psychological distress (all P<0.05), with aOR (95%CI) of 0.96 (0.94-0.98), 0.92 (0.90-0.93), 0.84 (0.82-0.86), 0.95 (0.93-0.97), 0.86 (0.83-0.88). Conclusions: The prevalence of psychological distress was high among Chinese children and adolescents aged 9-18 years in 2019, which is a vital problem. Mental health interventions need to be implemented among children and adolescents that were older, girls, rural, live in areas with lower economic levels, and whose parents have a lower education level.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the association between overweight and obesity, psychological distress, and the influence of physical exercise among Chinese children and adolescents. Methods: The study used data from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students' Constitution and Health. A total of 95 280 Han Chinese children and adolescents aged 13 to 18 years were included in the study based on complete information on overweight and obesity, psychological distress assessment, and physical exercise variables. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale was used to measure their psychological distress, with scores above 25 indicating high psychological distress. The BMI group of the adolescents was evaluated according to the Chinese standard "WS/T 586-2018 Screening for Overweight and Obesity in School-age Children and Adolescents", including underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. The individual's BMI Z-score (BMIZ) was evaluated using the WHO standard and divided into ten groups based on the population percentile distribution. The survey collected the subjects' average daily physical exercise time and divided them into two groups: less than 1 hour and greater than or equal to 1 hour. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between overweight and obesity and high psychological distress among children and adolescents and the differences in association between different physical exercise groups. Results: The detection rates of overweight and obesity among Han Chinese children and adolescents aged 13 to 18 years in 2019 were 14.5%, and 7.6%, respectively. The rate of high psychological distress was 37.6%, and the rate of average daily physical exercise time exceeding 1 hour was 17.1%. Using the population with a BMIZ P10 below as a reference, the association strength between high psychological distress and the population gradually increased, with an OR (95%CI) value of 1.08 (1.02-1.14), 1.09 (1.02-1.14), 1.10 (1.03-1.16), and 1.16 (1.09-1.23) for BMIZ in the P60-, P70-, P80-, >P90 groups. Compared to normal weight, both overweight and obesity were positively associated with high psychological distress in children and adolescents, with obesity showing a more significant correlation, while underweight was negatively associated with high psychological distress. The detection rates of high psychological distress in normal weight, underweight, overweight, and obese groups were 37.6%, 37.0%, 38.2%, and 38.7%, respectively, with an OR (95%CI) value of 0.93 (0.88-0.98) for the underweight group and 1.05 (1.01-1.10) and 1.13 (1.07-1.19) for the overweight and obese groups, respectively. The positive correlation between BMIZ, overweight, and obesity with high psychological distress was significant only in adolescents who exercised less than 1 hour per day on average. Conclusions: Chinese children and adolescents face the problem of obesity and high psychological distress, with a positive correlation between these two problems. Physical activity may moderate the association between obesity and psychological distress in children and adolescents. Adequate physical exercise may offset the potential high psychological distress caused by obesity in children and adolescents. Thus, strengthening physical exercise among children and adolescents reduces the risks of both obesity and psychological health problems effectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a serious pregnancy complication, and women with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus can develop chronic hyperglycemia during pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of information-based continuity of care on glucose levels, health awareness, and maternal and infant outcomes in pregnant women with GDM, thereby providing a basis for the clinical implementation of effective interventions for GDM to reduce or avoid adverse outcomes due to GDM. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and sixty cases of pregnant women with GDM who underwent treatment in the obstetrics and gynecology department of our hospital from June 2019 to September 2021 were randomly selected as the study population and divided into the control group (n=80) and the study group (n=80). Women in the control group were received with conventional nursing intervention, and those in the study group were obtained with information-based continuity of care on the basis of the control group. Basic clinical data were collected. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2h postprandial glucose (2hPG), knowledge of health education, treatment compliance scores, and changes in delivery outcomes were compared between the two groups. According to the maternal blood glucose control level, 160 pregnant women with GDM were divided into the better control group (143 cases) and the poor control group (17 cases). The risk factors affecting the level of maternal glycemic control in gestational diabetes were analyzed. RESULTS After the intervention, the levels of FBG and 2hPG were significantly lower in both groups than those before the intervention, while the levels of FBG and 2hPG in the study group were notably lower than those in the control group. The health education knowledge score and treatment compliance score after the intervention were significantly higher than those before the intervention, and the health education knowledge score and treatment compliance score in the study group were observably higher than those in the control group (p<0.01). The adverse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women in the study group were significantly reduced compared with those in the control group (p<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index (BMI), dietary control, literacy, and information-based continuity of care were all influential factors for maternal glycemic control level (p<0.05). Among the influencing factors, dietary control and continuity of care had clinical value in predicting maternal glycemic control levels in gestational diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Continuous nursing based on informatization can effectively control the blood glucose level of pregnant women with GDM, improve the treatment compliance of pregnant women and the awareness rate of gestational diabetes knowledge so as to reduce the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes and improve the health level. In addition, BMI and dietary control are independent risk factors that affect the blood glucose control level of pregnant women. Relevant intervention measures should be formulated according to the relevant influencing factors to effectively control the blood glucose level of pregnant women with GDM and improve maternal and infant outcomes.

Abstract
Band topology of materials describes the extent Bloch wavefunctions are twisted in momentum space. Such descriptions rely on a set of topological invariants, generally referred to as topological charges, which form a characteristic class in the mathematical structure of fiber bundles associated with the Bloch wavefunctions. For example, the celebrated Chern number and its variants belong to the Chern class, characterizing topological charges for complex Bloch wavefunctions. Nevertheless, under the space-time inversion symmetry, Bloch wavefunctions can be purely real in the entire momentum space; consequently, their topological classification does not fall into the Chern class, but requires another characteristic class known as the Stiefel-Whitney class. Here, in a three-dimensional acoustic crystal, we demonstrate a topological nodal-line semimetal that is characterized by a doublet of topological charges, the first and second Stiefel-Whitney numbers, simultaneously. Such a doubly charged nodal line gives rise to a doubled bulk-boundary correspondence-while the first Stiefel-Whitney number induces ordinary drumhead states of the nodal line, the second Stiefel-Whitney number supports hinge Fermi arc states at odd inversion-related pairs of hinges. These results experimentally validate the two Stiefel-Whitney topological charges and demonstrate their unique bulk-boundary correspondence in a physical system.

Abstract
As a fundamental concept of all crystals, space groups are partitioned into symmorphic groups and nonsymmorphic groups. Each nonsymmorphic group contains glide reflections or screw rotations with fractional lattice translations, which are absent in symmorphic groups. Although nonsymmorphic groups ubiquitously exist on real-space lattices, on the reciprocal lattices in momentum space, the ordinary theory only allows symmorphic groups. In this work, we develop a novel theory for momentum-space nonsymmorphic space groups (k-NSGs), utilizing the projective representations of space groups. The theory is quite general: Given any k-NSGs in any dimensions, it can identify the real-space symmorphic space groups (r-SSGs) and construct the corresponding projective representation of the r-SSG that leads to the k-NSG. To demonstrate the broad applicability of our theory, we show these projective representations and therefore all k-NSGs can be realized by gauge fluxes over real-space lattices. Our work fundamentally extends the framework of crystal symmetry, and therefore can accordingly extend any theory based on crystal symmetry, for instance, the classification crystalline topological phases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the association between outdoor artificial light-at-night (ALAN) exposure and overweight and obesity among children and adolescents aged 9 to 18 years in China. METHODS Using follow-up data of 5 540 children and adolescents aged 9 to 18 years conducted from November 2019 to November 2020 in eight provinces of China, latitude and longitude were determined based on school addresses, and the mean monthly average nighttime irradiance at the location of 116 schools was extracted by the nearest neighbor method to obtain the mean outdoor ALAN exposure [unit: nW/(cm2·sr)] for each school. Four indicators of overweight and obesity outcomes were included: Baseline overweight and obesity, persistent overweight and obesity, overweight and obesity progression and overweight and obesity incidence. Mixed effects Logistic regression was used to explore the association between ALAN exposure levels (divided into quintiles Q1-Q5) and baseline overweight and obesity, persistent overweight and obesity, overweight and obesity progression and overweight and obesity incidence. In addition, a natural cubic spline function was used to explore the exposure response association between ALAN exposure (a continuous variable) and the outcomes. RESULTS The prevalence of baseline overweight and obesity, persistent overweight and obesity, overweight and obesity progression and overweight and obesity incidence among the children and adolescents in this study were 21.6%, 16.3%, 2.9% and 12.8%, respectively. The OR value for the association between ALAN exposure and baseline overweight and obesity was statistically significant when ALAN exposure levels reached Q4 or Q5, 1.90 (95%CI: 1.26-2.86) and 1.77 (95%CI: 1.11-2.83), respectively, compared with the children and adolescents in the Q1 group of ALAN exposure. Similar to the results for baseline overweight and obesity, the OR values for the association with persistent overweight and obesity were 1.89 (95%CI: 1.20-2.99) and 1.82 (95%CI: 1.08-3.06) when ALAN exposure levels reached Q4 or Q5, respectively, but none of the OR values for the association between ALAN and overweight and obesity progression and overweight and obesity incidence were statistically significant. Fitting a natural cubic spline function showed a non-linear trend between ALAN exposure and persistent overweight and obesity. CONCLUSION There is a positive association between ALAN exposure and overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, and the promotion of overweight obesity in children and adolescents by ALAN tends to have a cumulative effect rather than an immediate effect. In the future, while focusing on the common risk factors for overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, there is a need to improve the overweight and obesity-causing nighttime light exposure environment.

Abstract
Plasma Position Reflectometry (PPR) is planned to provide plasma position and shape information for plasma operation in future fusion reactors. Its primary function is to calibrate the drift of the magnetic signals due to the integral nature of magnetic measurement. Here, we attempt to measure plasma position using ordinary mode (O-mode) and extraordinary mode (X-mode) reflectometry systems on two tokamaks. A new physical model based on the phase shift is proposed to deduce the relative movement of the cut-off layer without density inversion. We demonstrate the plasma position measurements by absolute measurement from density profile inversion and relative measurement from phase shift. The combination of X-mode and O-mode reflectometers can minimize the limitations of single polarization reflectometry and further increase the accuracy of plasma position measurement. These results could provide an important technical basis for the further development of a real-time control system based on PPR.

Abstract
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) has been shown to be associated with microbiota. However, the association between SCH and oral microbiota has not yet been elucidated. The results of our previous clinical studies showed that Prevotella intermedia was abundant in the oral microbiota of SCH patients. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between SCH and oral microbiota, verify the pathogenicity of P. intermedia in SCH, and preliminarily explore the possible mechanism. The SCH mouse model with oral application of P. intermedia was established, and the variance in the mouse oral microbiota and changes in thyroid function and metabolism were detected in mice. Student's t test and analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. Oral application of P. intermedia changed the composition of the oral microbiota of SCH mice, which enhanced the damage to the thyroid and decreased the expression of functional genes of the thyroid. Moreover, P. intermedia decreased oxygen consumption and aggravated glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in SCH mice. Glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance decreased, and the triglyceride content of the liver and inflammatory infiltration in adipose tissue increased in SCH mice after P. intermedia stimulation. Mechanistically, P. intermedia increased the proportion of CD4+ T cells in cervical lymph nodes and thyroids in SCH mice. Th1 cells were suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of SCH involving P. intermedia. In conclusion, P. intermedia aggravated SCH manifestations, including thyroid dysfunction and glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, by causing immune imbalance in mice. This study sheds new light on the pathogenesis of SCH from the perspective of oral microbiota.

Abstract
We present a new determination of the smallest neutrino mixing angle θ_{13} and the mass-squared difference Δm_{32}^{2} using a final sample of 5.55×10^{6} inverse beta-decay (IBD) candidates with the final-state neutron captured on gadolinium. This sample is selected from the complete dataset obtained by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment in 3158 days of operation. Compared to the previous Daya Bay results, selection of IBD candidates has been optimized, energy calibration refined, and treatment of backgrounds further improved. The resulting oscillation parameters are sin^{2}2θ_{13}=0.0851±0.0024, Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.466±0.060)×10^{-3} eV^{2} for the normal mass ordering or Δm_{32}^{2}=-(2.571±0.060)×10^{-3} eV^{2} for the inverted mass ordering.

Abstract
Mortality due to severe burns has always been at a high level. A large number of studies have shown that the rapid onset of infectious symptoms and rapid progression of severely burned patients are closely related to the occurrence of cytokine storm. However, in clinical practice, cytokine storm monitoring, early warning, and symptomatic treatment are still in exploratory stage. This article reviews the cytokine storm and its related cytokines, the mechanism, early warning, and treatment of cytokine storm induced by burn infection, aiming to provide clinical references for reducing infection and mortality in severely burned patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the screening value of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) and QuantiFERON®-TB Gold in tube (QFT-GIT) in the auxiliary diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Methods: A screening test was performed. Patients who were hospitalized in Guangzhou Chest Hospital and underwent QFT-GIT testing from October to December 2020 were prospectively included as research subjects, QFT-Plus testing was added. And the basic information, clinical manifestations, laboratory test results, imaging examinations and other data of these patients were collected. A total of 207 patients were included and divided into tuberculosis group and non-tuberculosis group according to these data. There were 124 cases in the tuberculosis group (94 confirmed patients and 30 clinically diagnosed patients), including 90 males and 34 females, aged 18-93 years, with a median age of 57 (38, 67) years. The non-tuberculosis group included 83 patients (16 patients with non-tuberculous Mycobacteria and 67 patients with other lung diseases), including 49 males and 34 females, with a median age of 60 (51, 68) years. The confirmed patients were subdivided into three grades of low, medium and high Mycobacteriam tuberculosis (MTB) bacterial load, and three grades of mild, moderate and severe pulmonary tuberculosis. The results of QFT-Plus and QFT-GIT were compared, and the levels of IFN-γ in different antigen tubes were compared. Differences between different groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results: The QFT-Plus showed a high degree of agreement with the QFT-GIT (κ=0.786, 95%CI: 0.740-0.832), while the main discordant result was QFT-GIT negative/QFT-Plus positive, accounting for 15/17. The sensitivity of QFT-GIT was 80.7%(95%CI: 0.706-0.880), the specificity was 76.3%(95%CI: 0.649-0.850), the positive predictive value was 79.8%(95%CI: 0.697-0.873), and the negative predictive value was 77.3%(95%CI: 0.659-0.859), repectively. QFT-Plus showed a sensitivity of 84.3%(95%CI: 0.743-0.910), a specificity of 78.8% (95%CI: 0.679-0.868), and a positive predictive value of 80.5%(95%CI: 0.703-0.879), the negative predictive value being 82.9%(95%CI: 0.721-0.902), slightly improved to that of the QFT-GIT. Also, this study found that there were significant differences in IFN-γ values between different MTB load or disease severity (P<0.05). Conclusions: There is a good consistency between the QFT-Plus test and the QFT-GIT test, both of which show good application value in the auxiliary diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Moreover, because of the addition of tuberculosis-specific CD8 cell antigen, the QFT-Plus test has higher sensitivity, lower uncertainty and more application value. This study also found that the bacterial load and disease severity of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis may have a certain correlation with the measured value of IFN-γ.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between prealbumin and the long-term prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma(HCCA) following radical surgery. Methods: The clinical data of 262 HCCA patients who underwent radical surgery admitted from January 2010 to January 2017 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University were collected,retrospectively. There were 158 males and 104 females; aged (57.6±9.9)years old(range:32 to 78 years). According to the preoperative serum prealbumin level(170 mg/L),the patients were divided into low prealbumin group(n=143) and normal prealbumin group(n=119). Follow-up until September 2020,the main research indicator was overall survival(OS), and the secondary research indicator was recurrence-free survival(RFS). The measurement data conforming to the normal distribution adopted the t test,the measurement data not conforming to the normal distribution adopted the Mann-Whitney U test,and the count data adopted the χ2 test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative survival rate. The Log-rank test was used for univariate analysis of the cumulative survival rate. Variables with P<0.10 in univariate analysis were included in the Cox proportional hazards model for multivariate analysis. Results: The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rate of the 262 patients was 73.4%, 32.1%, and 24.0%, respectively, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS rate was 54.6%, 25.2%, and 16.2%, respectively. Median OS and RFS were 21 months and 12 months for patients with low prealbumin and 25 months and 19 months for patients with normal prealbumin. The OS rate and RFS rate of patients in the low prealbumin group were lower than those in the normal prealbumin group, and the difference was statistically significant (both P<0.05). The results of univariate analysis indicated that low prealbumin, CA19-9>150 U/L, tumor infiltration length>3 cm, preoperative jaundice, macrovascular invasion, microvascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and poor differentiation maybe the risk factors of OS,and low prealbumin,tumor invasion length>3 cm,macrovascular invasion, microvascular invasion,lymph node metastasis,and poor differentiation maybe the risk factors of RFS for postoperative for radical resection in patients with HCCA (all P<0.10). Multivariate results suggested that low prealbumin,tumor invasion length>3 cm,microvascular invasion,lymph node metastasis,and poor differentiation were independent risk factors affecting OS and RFS in patients with HCCA after radical operation (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Preoperative prealbumin level can predict the long-term prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma following radical surgery.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is currently one of the most common digestive system tumors, and the liver is the most common metastatic site of colorectal cancer. In recent years, with the continuous development of the multidisciplinary treatment for colorectal cancer patients, there are quite a few cases of disappearing liver metastases (DLM) after receiving preoperative chemotherapy (or combined targeted drug therapy), and the diagnosis and treatment of DLM is currently still a very challenging and controversial topic. This article sorts out the related researches on DLM in recent years, mainly including the following 4 aspects: (1) The factors associated with DLM, including the size and number of liver metastases, chemotherapy regimens and cycles, targeted therapy drugs, and the pattern of liver metastases, Ras/Braf status and the location of the primary lesion. (2) The relationship between DLM and true complete response (pathological complete response and persistent clinical complete response), and the related predictive factors of pathological complete response. (3) Clinical evaluation of DLM: preoperative evaluation includes ultrasound, CT, MRI, and PET, while intraoperative evaluation includes intraoperative exploration, intraoperative ultrasound, and augmented reality. (4) DLM treatment strategies, including surgical treatment, local treatment, non-surgical treatment and individualized treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the outcomes and factors influencing postoperative return-to-sport of patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) underwent all-inside arthroscopic lateral collateral ligament repair. Methods: Patients with CAI treated at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University from January 2017 to August 2019 were retrospectively recruited. Preoperative and postoperative Tegner and Karlsson scores were evaluated and compared, and a multivariate Cox regression model was applied to explore factors influencing postoperative return to desired sports postoperatively. Results: A total of 81 patients with CAI treated by all-inside arthroscopic lateral collateral ligament repair were assessed, including 44 males and 37 females with a mean age of (32.7±9.9) years. Karlsson scores (M(Q1, Q3)) increased from 55.0 (40.0,65.0) preoperatively to 90.0 (85.0,95.0) postoperatively (P<0.01), while Tegner scores increased from 3.0 (1.0,4.0) preoperatively to 5.0 (4.0,6.0) postoperatively (P<0.01). Sixty patients returned to their desired sports with a median return-to-sport time of 9.0 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that higher age (HR=0.95, 95%CI: 0.92-0.99, P<0.01) and lower preinjury activity levels (HR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.10-1.85, P<0.01) were independent factors affecting postoperative return-to-sport. The one-year postoperative return-to-sport cutoff scores were 37 years old and a Tegner score of 4, respectively. Conclusions: The all-inside arthroscopic lateral collateral ligament repair procedure can achieve good short-term outcomes for patients with CAI, permitting a high incidence of postoperative return-to-sport. Higher age and lower pre-injury activity levels are independent factors hindering postoperative return-to-sport.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of government fully-funded quadrivalent influenza vaccination (QIV) program for older adults aged 60 and above in mainland China. Methods: Based on decision tree model in the previous research on the cost-effectiveness analysis of TIV immunization, we extended the structure of model and updated the key parameters such as influenza patients' healthcare seeking behavior, vaccine cost, vaccine coverage and vaccine efficacy/effectiveness to estimate influenza-associated outpatient consultations, hospitalizations, respiratory disease excess mortality and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) between the QIV and no vaccination or TIV program. And incremental cost and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were evaluated between the QIV and no vaccination or TIV program from the societal perspective. The time frame of the study is one year. All costs were adjusted to 2019 using the consumer price index. Results: Comparing the fully-funded QIV and no vaccination or TIV for older adults aged 60 and above is separately expected to prevent 45 070 or 2 718 influenza-associated influenza-like illness (ILI) outpatients, 21 451 or 1 294 influenza-associated severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) hospitalizations, 19 346 or 1 167 influenza-associated respiratory excess deaths and avoid 155 234 or 9 363 QALY loss each year. Compared with no vaccination, introducing QIV into National Immunization Program (NIP) is expected to increase the cost of 11.71 billion yuan from the societal perspective. The incremental cost per QALY gained between QIV and no vaccination was 75 325 yuan per QALY, which is higher than willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold (one-fold gross domestic product per capita is considered as WTP: 70 892 yuan) and means no cost effective. Introducing QIV rather than TIV into NIP will cost 7.98 billion yuan from the societal perspective and the ICER was 852.54 thousand yuan per QALY which is much higher than WTP and means no cost effective as well. The threshold of vaccination cost between QIV and no vaccination or TIV should no more than 113.41 or 6.83 yuan when the two comparators' scenarios above are all cost effective. Conclusion: Under the condition of current vaccine effectiveness and vaccine cost, comparing fully-funded QIV with no or TIV vaccination program is not cost effective for people aged 60 years or older.

Abstract
Data of 189 patients with first-ever cardioembolic stroke (CES) hospitalized in the Second People's Hospital of Changzhou from June 2014 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The neuoimaging markers of chronic small vessel disease (cSVDm) were evaluated and their total burden (0-3 points) was calculated. At 90 d after onset, 65 patients had poor prognosis. Regression analysis showed that the total cSVDm burden score was an independent riskfactor for the poor prognosis(OR=1.754, 95%CI:1.137-2.707, P=0.011).

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of surgical treatment on quality of life in patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). Methods: A descriptive case series study was performed. The complete clinical data of 62 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of LRRC and treated by surgical procedures in Huashan Hospital of Fudan University from January 2012 to November 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were followed up at least 12 months. Assessments of urinary function, sexual function, mobility function of lower limb and quality of life were documented. Patients with distant metastasis and surgical history of the urinary system were excluded. According to the criteria of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), recurrence were divided into central (n=27), anterior (n=20), posterior (n=7), and lateral (n=8) subtypes. Baseline characteristics, surgical procedures and short-term complications were analyzed. International prostate symptom score (IPSS) and grade of voiding dysfunction were used to evaluate the urinary function. Higher score of IPSS and higher grade of voiding dysfunction indicated worse voiding function. Sexual function for both genders was assessed preoperatively and postoperatively. International index of erectile function-5 (IIEF-5) was used for assessment of male patients and higher score indicated better function. Female sexual function index (FSFI) was used in females and higher score indicated better function. Short-form health survey with 36 items (SF-36), yielding an 8-scale profile of functional health (physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional health and mental health) was used to evaluate the quality of life. The higher score indicated the better quality of life. Results: All the operations of 62 patients completed successfully and R0 resection rate was 88.7% (55/62). Postoperative surgical complications occurred in 16 cases (25.8%), including 3 patients of Clavien-Dindo classification III. At postoperative 3-month, 42 patients without ileum cystectomy or ureterostomy suffered from different grade of voiding dysfunction. IPSS increased significantly after the surgery (before surgery: 12.36±4.75, after surgery: 18.40±4.77, t=-9.128, P<0.001). There was no significant difference among the subtypes (P>0.05). At postoperative 12-month, IIEF-5 decreased from 14 (0~25) to 9 (0~19) in males (Z=-5.174, P<0.001) and FSFI deceased from 8.4 (2.0-27.0) to 2.0 (2.0-18.4) in females (Z=-3.522, P<0.001). Scores of physical functioning and role-physical decreased significantly [physical functioning: before surgery 70 (35-85), after surgery 65 (30-80), Z=-3.685, P<0.001; role-physical: before surgery 50 (0-50), after surgery 25(0-75), Z=-4.065, P<0.001], while those of social functioning role-emotional and mental health increased significantly after the surgery [social functioning: before surgery 44 (22-78), after surgery 56 (0-89), Z=-3.509, P<0.001; role-emotional: before surgery 17 (0-100), after surgery 33 (0-100), Z=-2.439, P=0.015; mental health: before surgery 40 (36-76), after surgery 52 (24-80), Z=-3.395, P<0.001]. All surgical procedures decreased the voiding function of LRRC patients and the sexual function of male patients (all P<0.01). However, only total pelvic exenteration and posterior pelvic exenteration decreased FSFI in female patients [before surgery: 8.4 (2.0-27.0) after surgery: 2.0 (2.0-18.4), Z=-2.810, P=0.005]. Conclusions: Multi-visceral resection in LRRC patients may damage voiding and sexual function. However, successful and effective surgical treatment can improve the psychosocial health of LRRC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis (AS) is a leading disease with high mortality and morbidity in the world. It has been demonstrated that exosomes can transfer some miRNAs or proteins to regulate the biological functions of human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and promote the progression of AS. In this study, we mainly aimed at exploring potential functions of exosomes derived from ox-LDL exposed macrophages and investigating the potential mechanisms of exosome-mediated miR-106a-3p in regulating VSMCs and promoting AS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ox-LDL was used to treat THP-1 macrophages, CCK-8 assay was performed to detect cell viability, and flow cytometric analysis was used to detect cell apoptosis. Exosomes were isolated and collected with centrifugation, and were determined by transmission electron microscopy and WB assay. RT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of miRNAs in exosomes and VSMCs, WB assay was used to detect protein expressions. MiR-106a-3p mimic was transfected into VSMCs to verify its functions and the Luciferase gene reporter assay was performed to prove the binding site of miR-106a-3p and CASP9. Finally, GW4869, an inhibitor for exosome secretion, was used to block exosome secretion by ox-LDL induced THP-1 and to confirm the effects of miR-106a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis in VSMCs. RESULTS We found that ox-LDL induced THP-1 could promote cell proliferation and repress cell apoptosis of VSMCs, then, exosomes were successfully isolated, which could promote cell proliferation and repressed cell apoptosis of VSMCs after adding into VSMCs. Furthermore, we found that miR-106a-3p was significantly increased in exosomes from ox-LDL induced THP-1 and its expression was also increased in VSMCs after adding into VSMCs. Moreover, miR-106a-3p overexpression could promote cell viability and repress cell apoptosis, as well as regulate associated protein expressions. Additionally, the Luciferase gene reporter assay confirmed that miR-106a-3p could directly bind with CASP9 and regulate Caspase signaling in VSMCs. Finally, blocking exosomes from ox-LDL induced THP-1 reduced the cell viability and promoted cell apoptosis in VSMCs. CONCLUSIONS Above all, this study demonstrated that miR-106a-3p was increased in exosomes from ox-LDL induced THP-1 and it could promote cell proliferation and repress cell apoptosis of VSMCs. We found that the exosomes-mediated miR-106a-3p could directly bind with CASP9 and repress Caspase signaling pathway in VSMCs, which might provide a potential target for treating AS.

Abstract
A tangential hard x-ray (HXR) diagnostic on the newly constructed ENN XuanLong-50 (EXL-50) spherical tokamak for fast electron emission studies is presented. The HXR detection system consists of a symmetrical CdZnTe semiconductor detector array with a spectral sensitivity range of 20-300 keV. 25 channels have been designed on the 270° horizontal vacuum port with 12 sight lines to observe the forward emission, 12 sight lines to observe the backward emission of fast electrons, and 1 for viewing the central. Currently, ten channels have been in operation in the EXL-50 experiments. The systems are designed to measure the x-ray spectra for the estimation of fast electron temperature and electron velocity distribution in the EXL-50 experiment, which will be useful for understanding the dynamics of fast electrons generated by electron cyclotron resonance heating, for plasma instability and transport studies and for the analysis of plasma heating efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent studies indicated that long non-coding RNA is involved in the formation of atherosclerosis, which is the pathological basis of coronary heart disease. Here, we reported the function and regulatory mechanism of RMRP in coronary atherosclerosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS qPCR was used to investigate the expression of IL-6, IL-8, RMRP, and miR-128-1-5P in coronary atherosclerosis and human vascular smooth muscle cells. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed the direct target effect of RMRP with miR-128-1-5P and miR-128-1-5P with Gadd45g on HEK293T. Western blot was used to detect protein expression in coronary atherosclerosis and human vascular smooth muscle cells. RESULTS RMRP expression and Gadd45g protein level were up-regulated in coronary atherosclerosis and human vascular smooth muscle cells, while miR-128-1-5P was down-regulated. RMRP downregulation remarkably inhibited the expression of IL-6, IL-8, and apoptosis related protein in human vascular smooth muscle cells after ox-LDL treatment. In addition, bioinformatics analysis and Luciferase report experiments confirmed that RMRP was the direct target of miR-128-1-5P. Moreover, miR-128-1-5P inhibitor reserved evidently the effect of IL-6, IL-8, and apoptosis related protein induced RMRP-si after treatment of human vascular smooth muscle cells with ox-LDL, implying RMRP negatively and directly regulated miR-128-1-5P in coronary atherosclerosis. More importantly, RMRP silencing increased Gadd45g protein level in human vascular smooth muscle cells. The same results were found when miR-128 was upregulated. Meanwhile, Gadd45g-si extremely reversed the result of IL-6, IL-8, and apoptosis related protein induced miR-128-1-5P inhibitor after treatment of human vascular smooth muscle cells with ox-LDL and Luciferase report experiments showed that Gadd45g was a direct target of miR-128-1-5P, implying Gadd45g negatively and directly regulated miR-128-1-5P in coronary atherosclerosis. Furthermore, liraglutide restrained evidently the expression of IL-6, IL-8, and apoptosis related protein in coronary atherosclerosis. After all, these results showed that liraglutide could regulate RMRP/miR-128-1-5P/Gadd45g signal pathway to improve coronary atherosclerosis. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide could curb the expression of inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis related protein in coronary atherosclerosis by regulating RMRP/miR-128-1-5P/Gadd45g signaling pathway, providing a new potential strategy for the treatment of coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis (AS) is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is also the leading reason for mortality and morbidity worldwide. Growing evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play some roles in the development of AS; however, their roles remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to explore the function of lncRNA SNHG16 in AS. PATIENTS AND METHODS qRT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of SNHG16 and miR-17-5p in AS serum samples and THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells; the correlations were also analyzed. THP-1 macrophages were respectively treated with ox-LDL and several inflammatory factors to explore the affecting factors. What's more, SNHG16 overexpression lentivirus (LV-SNHG16) and downregulation lentivirus (LV-sh SNHG16) were purchased and infected into THP-1 macrophages. CCK8 assay was used to measure cell proliferation; the levels of IKKβ, p-IkBα and p-p65 were detected by western blot (WB), and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were detected by ELISA kit. Moreover, the luciferase assay was performed to explore the binding site of SNHG16 and miR-17-5p. Furthermore, we transfected miR-17-5p mimic and inhibitor into THP-1 macrophages; the proliferation, NF-κB signaling pathway factors and inflammatory factors were detected. Finally, JSH, a NF-κB signaling inhibitor, was added into LV-SNHG16 THP-1 macrophages and miR-17-5p inhibitor was transfected into LV-sh SNHG16 THP-1 macrophages to confirm that SNHG16 functions via miR-17-5p/ NF-κB signaling pathway. RESULTS We found that SNHG16 was increased in AS patients and THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. Additionally, SNHG16 was increased in THP-1 macrophages by ox-LDL with time-dependence and dose-dependence. Furthermore, SNHG16 overexpression promoted proliferation, inflammatory response and increased levels of IKKβ, p-IkBα, p-p65 in THP-1 macrophages, while SNHG16 downregulation led to the opposite results. Most importantly, we found that miR-17-5p expressions were significantly decreased in AS patients, which were negatively correlated with SNHG16. Luciferase gene reporter assay confirmed that SNHG16 could directly bind with miR-17-5p. Moreover, the proliferation, inflammatory factors and NF-κB signaling factors were significantly repressed after transfecting miR-17-5p mimic into THP-1 macrophages, while it led to the opposite results after transfecting miR-17-5p inhibitor. Then, we added JSH, a NF-κB signaling inhibitor, into LV-SNHG16 THP-1 macrophages; as a result, the increased cell proliferation rate and inflammatory response were both decreased. Finally, we found that the repressed cell proliferation, inflammatory factors and expressions of NF-κB signaling factors in LV-sh SNHG16 group were increased after co-transfected with miR-17-5p inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS According to the results, we found that SNHG16 was upregulated in AS patients. Furthermore, we firstly found that SNHG16 was increased by ox-LDL in THP-1 macrophages. Most importantly, we uncovered a previously unappreciated SNHG16/miR-17-5p/ NF-κB signaling axis in promoting proliferation and inflammatory response in AS patients and THP-1 macrophages, which might provide a potential target for treating AS.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the functional changes of lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) in the patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using histogram texture analysis. Methods: A total of 28 TMD patients, including 15 males and 13 females, aged (26.2±12.1) years (15-62 years), were enrolled in the outpatient clinic of Department of Radiology, Hainan Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital from May 2016 to April 2020. At the same time, 13 volunteers with normal temporomandibular joint [6 males and 7 females, aged (23.5±3.3) years (20-30) years] were recruited. All participants were performed with temporomandibular joint MRI scan, and the subjects were classified into 3 groups according to the disc displacement: TMD with disc without displacement (TMD-DwoD), TMD with disc displacement without reduction (TMD-DDwoR) and NC with disc displacement without reduction (NC-DwoD) for each temporomandibular joint. The area, signal intensity, coefficient of variation (CV) of mean signal intensity and histogram texture of the superior belly of LPM (SBLPM) and inferior belly of LPM (IBLPM) were measured using regions of interests. Results: The area of SILPM presented significantly smaller in TMD-DwoD [(67.36±30.23) mm2] compared with that in NC-DwoD [(91.42±45.01) mm2] (P<0.05) and in TMD-DDwoR group [(72.27±37.53) mm2] (P>0.05). The mean signal intensity of SBLPM was identified significantly higher in TMD-DwoD (304.20±29.90) and TMD-DDwoR (315.06±40.20) compared with that in NC-DwoD (269.79±25.54) (P<0.05). The CV of mean signal intensity of SBLPM presented significantly higher in TMD-DwoD (8.89±2.60) compared with that in NC-DwoD (6.76±1.82) and TMD-DDwoR (7.63±1.62) (P<0.05). The skew and kurtosis showed no significantly differences among three groups for SBLPM (P>0.05). The mean signal intensity and CV for IBLPM presented significantly higher in TMD-DwoD (286.69±23.48 and 9.96±2.24, respectively) and TMD-DDwoR (275.98±30.55 and 10.25±1.96, respectively) compared with that in NC-DwoD (243.56±17.04 and 8.49±1.94, respectively) (P<0.05). The skewness showed significantly lower in TMD-DwoD (0.90±0.94) and TMD-DDwoR (0.73±0.97) compared with that in NC-DwoD (1.40±1.03) (P<0.05). The area and kurtosis for IBLPM showed no significant differences among three groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: The MR histogram texture analysis could primarily be considered as a tool to evaluate the LPM function in TMD patients.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of smoking on the wound healing of stage 4 pressure ulcers in rats. Methods: Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6-8 weeks were divided into simple pressure ulcer group and smoking+ pressure ulcer group according to the random number table, with 25 rats in each group. After the rats in the smoking+ pressure ulcer group received passive smoking intervention for 12 weeks, an iron plate was placed in the back muscle of each rat in 2 groups, and a magnet was placed outside the skin at the corresponding position of the iron plate for 2 h at each time, with 5 times a day and continuously for 6 days to reproduce stage 4 pressure ulcer model. Immediately after establishing the model, 3 rats in each group were sacrificed and wound tissue was collected, and hematoxylin-eosin staining was applied to observe the pathological changes of the wounds. On 1, 3, 7, and 14 day (s) after establishing the model, 3 rats in each group were collected to measure the pressure ulcer wound area by the paper jam method. After measurement of the wound area, the rats were sacrificed and the wound tissue was collected, and the protein expression levels of matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) in wound tissue were detected by immunohistochemical method, and the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 was calculated.The wound healing time of the remaining 10 rats in each group was recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for factorial design, two independent sample t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results: (1) Immediately after establishing the model, muscle fiber necrosis and dissolution with large areas were seen on the wound, the myofibrils arranged loosely, and more lymphocytes and monocytes infiltration were seen around the wound of rats in simple pressure ulcer group. A large number of necrotic myofibers were dissolved and gradually disappeared, the myofibrils arranged loosely, and the number of diffuse lymphocytes and monocyte infiltration in wound of rats in smoking+ pressure ulcer group were significantly higher than those in simple pressure ulcer group. (2) The wound areas of rats in smoking+ pressure ulcer group were significantly larger than those in simple pressure ulcer group on 1, 3, 7, and 14 day (s) after establishing the model (t=3.019, 2.549, 2.181, 3.674, P<0.05 or P<0.01). (3) On 1 to 14 days after establishing the model, the protein expression levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the wound tissue and the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 of rats in the two groups increased first and then decreased. On 1, 3, 7, and 14 day (s) after establishing the model, the protein expression levels of MMP-9 in the wound tissue and the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 of rats in smoking+ pressure ulcer group were significantly higher than those in simple pressure ulcer group (t=4.783, 4.508, 6.325, 7.204, 3.078, 2.989, 4.081, 4.696, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of TIMP-1 in wound tissue of rats in the two groups were similar. (4) The wound healing time of rats in smoking+ pressure ulcer group was (48.9±2.6) d, which was significantly longer than (35.2±2.3) d of simple pressure ulcer group (t=12.477, P<0.05). Conclusions: Smoking can up-regulate the expression of MMP-9 in pressure ulcer wound and result in an imbalance of MMP-9/TIMP-1, thereby affecting the wound healing of stage 4 pressure ulcers in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to clarify whether long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) human ovarian cancer-specific transcript 2 (HOST2) could enhance gefitinib-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by down-regulating microRNA-621 (miRNA-621). MATERIALS AND METHODS The relative expression levels of HOST2, miRNA-621 and SYF2 in NSCLC cell lines were determined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The regulatory effects of HOST2 and miRNA-621 on the proliferative ability and cell cycle of NSCLC cells were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Meanwhile, the binding relationship between miRNA-621 to HOST2 and SYF2 was verified by Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay. Furthermore, rescue experiments were conducted to verify whether HOST2 regulated the proliferative ability and cell cycle of NSCLC cells by absorbing miRNA-621 to up-regulate SYF2 level. RESULTS HOST2 showed significantly greater abundance in gefitinib-resistant PC9 cells (PC9/GR) relative to parental cells. The up-regulation of HOST2 markedly enhanced gefitinib-resistance, the proliferative ability and cell cycle progression of PC9 cells. Subsequent Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay showed the binding relationship between HOST2 and miRNA-621. Moreover, miRNA-621 was lowly expressed in PC9/GR cells compared with parental cells. Up-regulation of miRNA-621 significantly suppressed the proliferative ability and cell cycle progression, as well as reversed gefitinib-sensitivity of PC9 cells. More importantly, miRNA-621 up-regulation abolished the biological function of HOST2 in NSCLC. SYF2 was confirmed as the target gene of miRNA-621 in the same way. In addition, the overexpression of SYF2 remarkably enhanced gefitinib-resistance, while reversed the inhibitory effects of miRNA-621 on the proliferative ability and cell cycle of NSCLC cells. CONCLUSIONS HOST2 elevates gefitinib-resistance in NSCLC by degrading miRNA-621 to upregulate SYF2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria cases in Fujian Province from 2014 to 2018, so as to provide scientific basis for the development of the control strategy for imported malaria. METHODS The epidemiological data of malaria cases in Fujian Province from 2014 to 2018 were retrieved from the Notifiable Disease Reporting System and Parasitic Disease Information Reporting System of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the classification, origin of infections, temporal distribution, spatial distribution, population distribution, reporting institutions and diagnosis were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 540 overseas imported malaria cases were reported in Fujian Province from 2014 to 2018, and all cases were laboratory-confirmed, including 398 cases with falciparum malaria, 88 cases with vivax malaria, 38 cases with ovale malaria, 14 cases with malariae malaria and 2 cases with mixed infections. There were 90.56% (489/540) of the imported malaria cases with infections in 27 African countries, 5.92% (32/540) with infections in 5 Asian countries and 3.52% (19/540) with infections in one Oceania country. There was no significant seasonal distribution of the cases, and the imported malaria cases were predominantly detected in Fuzhou City (80.00%, 432/540) and at ages of 20 to 49 years (81.48%, 440/540). Initial diagnosis was predominantly at the city-level medical institutions, and 77.96% (421/540) were diagnosed as malaria at the initial diagnosis institutions. The median duration from onset to initial diagnosis was 2 days and 70.19% (379/540) were diagnosed within 3 days of onset. The interval between initial diagnosis and definitive diagnosis was 0 day, with 85.37% (461/540) definitively diagnosed within 3 days of initial diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Overseas imported malaria is a continuous problem challenging the malaria elimination programme of Fujian Province. Improving the healthcare-seeking awareness and the diagnostic capability of healthcare workers, and intensifying the monitoring and management of malaria among overseas labors are strongly recommended.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the histological changes of the retrodiscal tissue in the patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Methods: Thirty-three TMD patients were performed with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) MRI examinations from April 2018 to April 2020 in TMD clinic, Hainan Hospital of General Hospital of Chinese PLA. The patients groups were classified according to the disc position as follows: normal position (NP) (29 TMJ), disk displacement with reduction (DDwR) (14 TMJ) and disk displacement without reduction (DDwoR) (23 TMJ). The gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) analysis was applied with the retrodiscal tissue on the open oblique sagittal proton weighted images. The texture parameters included as follows: angular second moment (ASM), contrast, correlation, inverse difference moment (IDM) and entropy. The statistical methods mainly included Kruskal-Wallis H test, one-way analysis of variance and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), to analyze the texture characteristic parameters of the retrodiscal tissue are statistically significant. Results: There was no significant difference of the retrodiscal tissue's ASM, contrast, correlation and IDM among 3 groups (P>0.05). The entropy in NP group (3.98±0.44) and DDwR group (4.20±0.52) presented significant higher than that in DDwoR group (3.70±0.38) (P<0.05). ROC analysis for the entropy demonstrated that the area under the curve was 0.70 when differentiating NP and DDwR (cut-off value 0.38, sensitivity 82.61%, specificity 55.17%), and was 0.79 when differentiating DDwR and DDwoR (cut-off value 0.47, sensitivity 82.61%, specificity 64.29%). Conclusions: Texture entropy could be primarily used to evaluate the histological and pathological changes of the retrodiscal tissue in the TMD patients.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the altered brain volume of the patients with painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Methods: One hundred forty-six TMD patients [age (36.8±15.8) years, male/female=44/102] and 193 normal controls (NC) [age (43.3±15.6) years, male/female = 92/101] were performed with 3 dimensional brain structural images at 3.0 T MR scanner from November 2011 to December 2019 in Department of Radiology, Hainan Hospital and General Hospital of Chinese PLA. The brain structural images were segmented into gray matter, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid, and the gray matter images were performed with two-samples t-test with total intracranial volume, age and gender as covariates. Results: The gray matter volume (GMV) presented significantly higher in TMD group [(632.4±65.4) ml] than that in NC group [(596.1±76.3) ml] (t=4.70, P<0.05). The brain regions with increased GMV for TMD located in left inferior temporal gyrus, bilateral fusiform gyrus, bilateral middle temporal gyrus and right lingual gyrus compared with NC. Conclusions: The temporal lobe was the targeting brain region for TMD patients with increased GMV, which should further be investigated to elucidate the neuromechanism.

Abstract
Objective: To study the value of color doppler ultrasonography (CDU) in diagnosis of impending ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (IRAAA). Methods: A total of 35 cases with IRAAA which were identified by CDU in our department from June 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were detected by computed tomographic angiography (CTA). The types, length of the neck of aneurysm, largest diameter, thrombosis, involvement of common iliac artery and impending ruptured conditions were compared. The postoperative patients were followed-up by CDU and CTA (mean time was 2.6 months). Results: Among 35 patients, CDU diagnosed that 5 cases were pararenal types and 30 cases were infrarenal types. CTA showed that 4 cases were pararenal types and 31 cases were infrarenal types. The misdiagnosis rate of CDU was 2.9% (1/35). CDU showed that bilateral common iliac arteries were involved in 21 cases, right common iliac arteries were involved in 3 cases, and left common iliac arteries were involved in 2 cases. CTA detected the same results. There was no statistical difference between CDU and CTA for detection of the largest anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter and the thickness of thrombosis (P values were 0.354, 0.310 and 0.865). There was statistical difference in the detection of the length of the aneurysm's neck (P=0.006). CDU showed 3 cases of focal wall discontinuity, 4 cases of hyperattenuating crescent sign, 3 cases of thrombus fissuration and 2 cases of saclike protuberance, which were consistent with the detection of CTA. CDU showed that locally thin wall of aneurysm was detected in the rest of 23 cases. CTA showed 2 patients were negative. The misdiagnosis rate of CDU was 5.7% (2/35). Three cases did not undergo surgery. Open repairs (OR) were performed in 5 cases. Endovascular aneurysm repairs (EVAR) were performed in 27 cases. The postoperative patients were followed up by CDU and CTA at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. All the artificial blood vessels and stents were patent. Endoleak was observed in 5 cases. Aneurysm sac thrombosis was found in the rest of the cases. Conclusions: CDU plays an important role in the analysis and diagnosis of the size, range, and the impending ruptured symptoms of the aneurysm. It provides a reliable basis for IRAAA screening, diagnosis and postoperative follow-up, and has important clinical value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence rate of bone and joint injury in China and to describe the three-dimension distribution of the disease (area, time and people). METHODS Based on a cross-sectional design, a retrospective study was conducted by using Chinese basic medical insurance database from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017 to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of bone and joint injury. The prevalence rate of bone and joint injury in each city was calculated, and then using meta-analyses to estimate the pooled prevalence of each area and the whole country. The pooled prevalence rates were compared among the different groups of populations, in terms of geographical area, time and population characteristics (age and gender). RESULTS A total of 28 419 264 subjects were included in this study, including 705 793 patients with bone and joint injury. From 2013 to 2017, in Chinese basic medical insurance database, the overall prevalence rate of bone and joint injury was 141.5(95%CI: 90.4-203.7) per 10 000 population, and the prevalence rates of non-specific or polyarticular disease, knee disease, and shoulder disease were 101.6 (95%CI: 63.5-148.4)per 10 000 population, 22.5(95%CI:15.1-31.4)per 10 000 population and 10.9 (95%CI: 6.4-16.4)per 10 000 population. The prevalence rates varied across the areas, the highest rate was observed in North China, with the prevalence of 310.6 (95%CI: 12.6-989.7) per 10 000 population, and the lowest rate was observed in Southwest China, with the prevalence of 59.0 (95%CI: 37.5-85.2) per 10 000 population. The prevalence rate of bone and joint injury increased over the study period, from 111.1 (95%CI: 56.0-182.5)per 10 000 population in 2013 to 175.5 (95%CI: 116.8-245.5)per 10 000 population in 2017. The prevalence of bone and joint injury in the female population was 149.1 (95%CI: 94.2-215.9) per 10 000 population, which was higher than that of men [133.6(95%CI: 86.2-190.9) per 10 000 population]. The higher prevalence of knee disease, unspecified or polyarticular disease, and bone and joint injury were observed in people aged 60 years and older, while the prevalence of shoulder disease peaked in 40-59 years old people [20.6 (95%CI: 12.5-30.5) per 10 000 population]. CONCLUSION This study reported a relative low prevalence of bone and joint injury in China from 2013 to 2017. The prevalence increased over the study period, and the highest prevalence rate was observed in North China. The prevalence rate showed differences among different groups of populations, and higher rates were observed in females and people aged 60 years and older.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the application of calcium suppressed (CaSupp) spectral CT technique in evaluating disk position and measuring the thickness of the posterior band of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Methods: The twenty-three temporomandibular disorder patients [mean age 23(12~62) years, male/female=14/9] were performed with oblique sagittal and coronal proton density weighted imaging (PDWI) and spectral CT scans from February to July, 2019 in Department of Radiology, Hainan Hospital of General Hospital of Chinese PLA, and 45 TMJ joints were evaluated. The subjects were classified into two groups according to the scanning modalities: MRI measurement group and CaSupp spectral-based CT group. The CaSupp technique were applied with the spectral-based CT images and CaSupp images were generated. The oblique sagittal and coronal CaSupp imaged were reformatted by perpendicular to the long axis of the condyle. The TMJ disk positions were evaluated on oblique sagittal and coronal images, and the maximal disk thickness were measured on the oblique sagittal images. Results: The joint position was basically consistent on MRI and CaSupp images for the 45 TMJ joints. The intra-class coefficient value was 0.843 (0.712, 0.914) for the measurement of the posterior band of the TMJ disk between MRI and CaSupp images. Bland-Altman presented that the [95.6% (43/45)] points with the difference located in the 95% agreement interval. Wilcoxon paired text demonstrated that there was no significant different for the thickness of the posterior band between MRI [2.57 (1.76, 3.65) mm] and CaSupp images [2.67 (1.74, 4.56) mm] (P=0.07). Conclusions: The CaSupp spectral-based CT could be used to evaluated the TMJ disk position and the thickness of the posterior band.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between social support, resilience, self-esteem and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Methods: A total of 717 ICU nurses from 24 provinces conducted these questionnaires (Chinese version of Impact of Event Scale-Revised(IES-R), Social Support Rate Score(SSRS), Cannor-Davidson Resilience(CD-RISC) and Self-Esteem Scale(SES)). There were 101 males and 616 females, with an average age of (30±5) years. With the aim to investigate PTSD impact factors, the ICU nurses were divided into the PTSD positive group (IES-R>35) and PTSD negative group (IES-R<35). The correlation between IES-R and other scales were analyzed with linear regression analysis. Results: In this investigation, 414 nurses were screened with PTSD and 303 nurses without. IES-R score was negatively correlated with SSRS, CD-RISC and SES (r=-0.275, -0.202, -0.709, all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that ICU clinical experience was an independent risk factor for PTSD, and SES Score, SSRS Score and physical health status were protective factors. SES partially mediated the association of SSRS with IES-R, and the mediating effect were 51.5%. The area under characteristic curve (ROC) showed that SSRS score, CD-RISC score, SES score and PTSD risk score Logit (P) for prediction of PTSD was 0.629, 0.604, 0.831 and 0.848, respectively. Conclusions: Social support, physical health and self-esteem are protective factors of PTSD, while ICU clinical experience is a risk factor. SES partially mediated the association of SSRS with IES-R.

Abstract
By introducing preplasma truncation to cases with an initial preplasma scale length larger than 0.2λ, the efficiency of high-order harmonics generated from relativistic laser-solid interactions can be enhanced by more than one order of magnitude and the angular spread can be confined into near-diffraction-limited divergence. Numerical simulations show that density truncation results in more compact oscillation of the surface electron sheet and the curvature of the reflection surface for the driving laser is greatly reduced. This leads to an overall improvement in the harmonic beam quality. More importantly, density truncation makes the harmonic generation weakly dependent on the preplasma scale length, which provides a way to relax the extremely high requirement on the temporal contrast of the driving laser pulse. A feasible scheme to realize the required preplasma truncation is also proposed and demonstrated by numerical simulations.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on all-cause mortality in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) at real world scenarios. Methods: Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of HFpEF in the China National Heart Failure Registration Study (CN-HF) were divided into death and survival groups. The demographic data, physical examination, results of the first echocardiography, laboratory results at admission, complications, drug use and clinical outcomes were obtained from CN-HF. The univariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to screen the variates that might predict prognosis, and then the covariates with statistical significance were included in the multivariate Cox regression model to analyze the predictive value of baseline NT-proBNP on all-cause death. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between NT-proBNP and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), so as to further explore the predictive value of the interaction between renal dysfunction and NT-proBNP on death. Since NT-proBNP did not obey the binary normal distribution, it was expressed by the natural logarithm of NT-proBNP (LnNT-proBNP). Results: A total of 1 846 HFpEF patients were enrolled in this study, with an average age of 71.5 years, 1 017 males(55.1%), median NT-proBNP 860 ng/L, and median eGFR 73.9 ml·min-1·1.73m-2. After a median follow-up of 34 months, 213 (11.5%) patients died. Patients in the death group were older, with higher NYHA classification Ⅲ-Ⅳ ratio, longer hospital stay, higher serum potassium and NT-proBNP level, prevalence of complications of diabetes mellitus, arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation, use of angiotensin receptor antagonist(ARB), mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA), diuretic and digoxin was significantly higher in death group than in survival group. Body mass index (BMI), diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), hemoglobin, serum cholesterol(TC), serum triglycerides (TG) and eGFR, and use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), statins and aspirin were lower in death group than in survival group. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that NT-proBNP was a predictor of all-cause death in HFpEF patients (HR=2.522, 95%CI 2.040-3.119, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the elevated NT-proBNP remains as the independent predictor of all-cause death in patients with HFpEF (HR=1.230, 95%CI 1.049-1.442, P=0.011) after adjusting for age, BMI, diastolic blood pressure, LVEF, hemoglobin, serum potassium, serum sodium, TC, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), TG, eGFR, atrial fibrillation, as well as the treatment of ACEI/ARB, MRA, diuretics and digoxin. Spearman correlation analysis showed that LnNT-proBNP was negatively correlated with eGFR (r=-0.361, P<0.001), but there was no interaction between NT-proBNP and renal dysfunction in predicting death in HFpEF patients (P>0.05). Conclusion: The elevated level of NT-proBNP at admission is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in HFpEF patients.
