Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct an evaluation index system for the capability of comprehensive control of mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis based on the One Health concept, so as to provide insights into the control and elimination of mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis using the One Health approach. METHODS A preliminary evaluation index system was constructed based on literature review, panel discussions and field surveys. Thirty-three experts were selected from 7 provincial disease control and prevention centers in Beijing Municipality, Hebei Province, Shanxi Province, Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province where mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis was endemic, and two rounds of expert consultations were conducted to screen the indicators. The positive coefficient, degree of concentration, degree of coordination, and authority of the experts were calculated, and the normalized weights of each index were calculated with the analytic hierarchy process. RESULTS The response rates of questionnaires during two rounds of expert consultation were both 100.00% (33/33), and the authority coefficients of the experts were 0.86 and 0.88, respectively. The coefficients of coordination among experts on the rationality, importance, and operability of the indicators were 0.392, 0.437, 0.258, and 0.364, 0.335, 0.263, respectively (all P values < 0.05). Following screening, the final evaluation index system included 3 primary indicators, 17 secondary indicators, and 50 tertiary indicators. The normalized weights of primary indicators "external environment", "internal support" and "comprehensive control" were 16.98%, 38.73% and 44.29%, respectively. Among the secondary indicators of the primary indicator "external environment", the highest weight was seen for natural environment (66.67%), and among the secondary indicators of the primary indicator "internal support", the lowest weight was seen for the scientific research for visceral leishmaniasis control (8.26%), while other indicators had weights of 12.42% to 13.38%. Among the secondary indicators of the primary indicator "comprehensive control", the weight was 16.67% for each indicator. CONCLUSIONS An evaluation index system has been constructed for the capability of comprehensive control of mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis based on the One Health concept. In addition to assessment of the effect of conventional mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis control measures, this index system integrates the importance of top-level design, organizational management, and implementation of control measures, and includes indicators related to multi-sectoral cooperation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive performance of the current clinical prediction models for predicting intravesical recurrence (IVR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). METHODS We retrospectively analysed upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy in our centre from January 2009 to December 2019. We used the propensity score matching (PSM) method to adjust the confounders between the IVR and non-IVR groups. Additionally, Xylinas' reduce model and full model, Zhang's model, and Ishioka's risk stratification model were used to retrospectively calculate predictions for each patient. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated, and the areas under the curves (AUCs) were compared to identify the method with the highest predictive value. RESULTS We included 217 patients with a median follow-up of 41 months, of which 57 had IVR. After PSM analysis, 52 pairs of well-matched patients were included in the comparative study. No significant difference was found in clinical indicators besides hydronephrosis. The model comparison showed that the AUCs of the reduced Xylinas' model for 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months were 0.69, 0.73, and 0.74, respectively, and those of the full Xylinas' model were 0.72, 0.75, and 0.74, respectively. The AUC of Zhang's model for 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months was 0.63, 0.71, and 0.71, respectively, the performance of Ishioka's model is that the AUC of 12 months, 24 months and 36 months was 0.66, 0.71, and 0.74, respectively. CONCLUSION The external verification results of the four models show that more comprehensive data and a larger sample size of patients are needed to strengthen the models' derivation and updating procedure, to better apply them to different populations.

Abstract
Low-tannin sorghum is an excellent energy source in pig diets. However, sorghum contains several anti-nutritional factors that may have negative effects on nutrient digestibility. The impacts of proteases on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood parameters, and gut microbiota of growing pigs fed sorghum-based diets were studied in this study. Ninety-six pigs (20.66 ± 0.65 kg BW) were allocated into three groups (eight pens/group, four pigs/pen): (1) CON (control diet, sorghum-based diet included 66.98% sorghum), (2) PRO1 (CON + 200 mg/kg proteases), (3) PRO2 (CON + 400 mg/kg proteases) for 28 d. No differences were observed in growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients between CON and PRO1 groups. Pigs fed PRO2 diet had increased (P < 0.05) BW on d 21 and 28, and increased (P < 0.05) average daily gain during d 14-21 and the overall period compared with pigs fed CON diet. In addition, pigs fed PRO2 diet had improved (P < 0.05) ATTD of gross energy, CP, and DM compared with pigs fed CON and PRO1 diets. Pigs fed PRO2 diet had lower (P < 0.05) plasma globulin (GLB) level and higher (P < 0.05) plasma glucose, albumin (ALB) and immunoglobulin G levels, and ALB/GLB ratio than pigs fed CON and PRO1 diets. Furthermore, pigs fed PRO2 diet had decreased (P < 0.05) the relative abundance of Acidobacteriota at the phylum level and increased (P < 0.05) the relative abundance of Prevotella_9 at the genus level. The linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis also showed that pigs fed PRO2 diet had significantly enriched short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, such as Subdoligranulum and Parabacteroides. In conclusion, protease supplementation at 400 mg/kg improved the growth performance of growing pigs fed sorghum-based diets, which may be attributed to the improvement of nutrient digestibility, host metabolism, immune status and associated with the altered gut microbiota profiles.

Abstract
PURPOSE Family members of patients hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU) are susceptible to adverse psychological outcomes. However, there is a paucity of studies specifically examining the mental health symptoms in ICU patients' family members with a prior history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. AIM This study aimed to investigate mental health status and its influencing factors of ICU patients' family members with previous COVID-19 infection experience in China. DESIGN Nationwide, cross-sectional cohort of consecutive participants of family members of ICU patients from 10 provinces randomly selected in mainland China conducted between October 2022 and May 2023. METHODS The basic information scale, Self-rating depression scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Impact of Event Scale-Revised, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, Perceived Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson resilience scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire were employed to explore mental health status among participants. RESULTS A total of 463 participants, comprising 156 individuals in Covid-19 family member cohort (infection group) and 307 individuals in control family member cohort (control group), met inclusion criteria. The infection group exhibited significantly higher incidence of composite mental health symptoms compared to control group (P = 0.017). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that being female, engaging in physical/mental labor, residing in rural areas, and having children were identified as risk factors for the development of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, while medical history of surgery was protective factor. A predictive model demonstrated a favorable discriminative ability and excellent calibration. CONCLUSION COVID-19 infection experience regarded as new traumatic stressors worsen mental health status of ICU patients' family members.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to establish and validate a nomogram for extraurothelial recurrence (EUR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). METHODS The data of 521 patients with UTUC after RNU from 2 medical centers were retrospectively studied and were used as training cohort (n = 301) and external validation cohort (n = 220). We used the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) to select variables for multivariable Cox regression, and included independent risk factors into nomogram models predicting EUR-free survival (EURFS). Multiple parameters were used to validate the nomogram, including the concordance index (C-index), the calibration plots, the time-dependent receiver-operator characteristics curve (ROC), and the decision curve analysis (DCA). Patients were stratified into three risk groups according to total points calculated by nomograms. The differences of EURFS in each group were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Four variables were screened through LASSO regression. Bladder cancer history, Ki-67, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and pathological T stage were shown to be independent predictive factors for EUR. The C-indexes of the model were 0.793 and 0.793 in training and validation cohorts, respectively. In comparison with prediction based on categorized pathological T stage, the DCA curves for 5-year EUR exhibited better performance. The 5-year EURFS rates were 92.2%, 63.8%, and 36.2% in patients stratified to the low-, medium-, and high-risk group. CONCLUSION Our study provided a new nomogram to predict the probability of EUR in UTUC patients underwent RNU, with perfect performance in discrimination ability and clinical net benefit. The application of the model may help urologists to choose proper treatment and monitoring.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) can mediate inflammation-related bone resorption that is crucial in the development of periodontitis. Butyrate is a critical by-product of microbes with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we found that butyrate inhibited the activation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced DCs and generation of inflammatory cytokines by DCs. Moreover, butyrate regulated glycolysis in LPS-induced DCs via the G-protein-coupled receptor/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α pathway. In addition, butyrate inhibited the maturation of CD11c+MHC-II+ DCs in vivo, suppressing local inflammatory infiltration and ultimately alleviating bone resorption in a periodontitis model. Our results imply that butyrate suppresses the activation of LPS-induced DCs by modulating their metabolism, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the prognostic significance of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) and develop nomogram models for predicting overall survival (OS), intravesical recurrence (IVR), and extra-urothelial recurrence (EUR). METHODS We retrospectively studied the clinical and pathological features of 195 patients who underwent RNU for UTUC. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (99 cases) and a validation cohort (96 cases). The training cohort was used to develop nomogram models, and the models were validated by the validation cohort. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and Cox regression were performed to identify independent predictors. The concordance index (C-index), receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis, and calibration plot were used to evaluate the reliability of the models. The clinical utility compared with the pathological T stage was assessed using the net reclassification index (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS SII was an independent risk factor in predicting OS and EUR. The C-index values of the nomogram predicting OS, IVR, and EUR were 0.675, 0.702, and 0.756 in the training cohort and 0.715, 0.756, and 0.713 in the validation cohort. A high level of SII was correlated with the invasion of the mucosa, muscle layer of the ureter, nerves, vessels, and fat tissues. CONCLUSION We developed nomogram models to predict the OS, IVR, and EUR of UTUC patients. The efficacy of these models was substantiated through internal validation, demonstrating favorable discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. A high level of SII was associated with both worse OS and shorter EUR-free survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is still a public health emergency of international concern. However, whether pregnancy and menopause impact the severity of COVID-19 remain unclear. AIM This study is performed to investigate the truth. DESIGN Study appraisal and synthesis follows PRISMA guideline. Meta-analysis is performed in random-effects model. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane database, Central, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO COVID-19 database and WHO-ICTRP are searched until 28 March 2023. RESULTS In total, 57 studies (4 640 275 COVID-19 women) were analyzed. Pregnant women were at a lower risk of severe COVID-19, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and disease mortality compared to those nonpregnant women with comparable comorbidities. In contrast, pregnant women with more prepregnancy comorbidities were at a higher risk of severe COVID-19, ICU admission and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). In addition, pregnant women with pregnancy complications had a significantly increased risk of severe COVID-19 and ICU admission. Menopause increased COVID-19 severity, IMV requirement and disease mortality. Hormone replacement therapy inhibited COVID-19 severity in postmenopausal women. Premenopausal and postmenopausal women had a lower chance of severe illness than age-matched men. The impact of pregnancy on COVID-19 severity was significant in Americans and Caucasians, whereas the effect of menopause on COVID-19 severity was only significant in Chinese. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy and menopause are protective and risk factors for severe COVID-19, respectively. The protective role of pregnancy on COVID-19 is minimal and could be counteracted or masked by prepregnancy or pregnancy comorbidities. The administration of estrogen and progesterone may prevent severe COVID-19.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to establish and validate nomograms to predict the probability of intravesical recurrence (IVR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper urinary tract epithelial carcinoma (UTUC). METHODS Clinical data of 528 patients with UTUC after RNU were collected from two medical centers between 2009 and 2020. We used the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression to select variables for multivariable Cox regression analysis in the training cohort and included independent risk factors into nomogram models predicting IVR-free survival (IVRFS). Another center was applied as the external cohort to validate the predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram by performing area under the receiver operating curve (AUC), consistency index (C-index), and calibration curve. RESULTS History of bladder cancer, tumor size, preoperative urine cytology, postoperative instillation, Ki-67, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were identified as independent risk factors for IVR. The prognosis model including these predictors demonstrated excellent discriminatory performance in both the training cohort (C-index, 0.814) and external validation cohort (C-index, 0.748). The calibration plots of the nomogram revealed good consistency in both cohorts. Finally, patients could be classified into two risk groups based on scores obtained from the nomogram, with significant differences in IVRFS. CONCLUSION Our study provided a reliable nomogram for predicting the probability of IVR in patients with UTUC after RNU. Risk stratification based on this model may assist urologists make optimal clinical decisions on the management of UTUC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Suicidal ideation and behaviour are potential outcomes of workplace bullying. This review aimed to determine the extent of the association between workplace bullying and suicidal ideation and behaviour. STUDY DESIGN The study incorporated a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement was followed to conduct a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis. A combination of subject terms and free words was used to search nine electronic databases. Two reviewers independently screened articles and extracted information according to the inclusion criteria. A meta-analysis was performed with averaged weighted correlations across samples using the STATA software (version 16.0) from pooled estimates of the main results from all studies. RESULTS In total, 25 articles of high or medium quality were included in the systematic review; 15 of these were included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviour was 18% and 4%, respectively. Individuals who experienced workplace bullying had 2.03-times and 2.67-times higher odds of reporting suicidal ideation and behaviour, respectively, after adjustment for confounding factors. Moderating and mediating factors may help reduce the risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour for individuals experiencing workplace bullying. CONCLUSION This study indicated that exposure to workplace bullying significantly increased the risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the value of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) and develop nomograms to predict the prognosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients with receiving radiology therapy or/and chemotherapy (RT/&CT). METHODS Clinical data of patients with mRCC between 2010 and 2015 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Prognostic nomograms were constructed to predict the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) probability for 1-, 3-, and 5- years in patients with mRCC. A series of validation methods were used to validate the accuracy and reliability of the model, including area under the receiver operating curve (AUC), consistency index (C-index), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS 1394 patients were enrolled in this study. All patients were randomly divided into the training cohort (n = 976) and the validation cohort (n = 418). In the training cohort, multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that pathology grade, histology type, T stage, N stage, surgery, and distant metastasis were independent risk factors for OS and CSS. The AUC and C-index were both over 0.65 in both cohorts, indicating that the nomograms for OS and CSS had satisfactory discriminative power. The calibration curves revealed that the predictive nomograms had a good consistency between the observed and the predicted survival. CONCLUSION This study provided evidence that mRCC patients underwent RT/&CT could gain survival benefits from CN. The prognostic nomogram constructed in our study is reliable and practical, may help guide clinical strategies in the treatment of mRCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In previous observational studies, food-derived antioxidant vitamins have been suggested to be associated with breast cancer. However, the findings were inconsistent and the causal relationship could not be clearly elucidated. To confirm the potential causal relationship between food-derived antioxidants (retinol, carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E) and the risk of breast cancer, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS The instrumental variables (IVs) as proxies of genetic liability to food-derived antioxidant vitamins were obtained from the UK Biobank Database. We extracted breast cancer data (122,977 cases and 105,974 controls) from the Breast Cancer Consortium (BCAC). In addition, we studied estrogen expression status categorically, including estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer (69,501 cases and 105,974 controls) and versus estrogen receptor (ER-) negative breast cancer (21,468 cases and 105,974 controls). We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization study, and inverse variance-weighted (IVW) test was regarded as main analysis. Sensitivity analyses were further conducted to assess heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy. RESULTS The results of IVW showed that among the four food-derived antioxidants, only vitamin E had protective effect on the risk of overall breast cancer (OR = 0.837, 95% CI 0.757-0.926, P = 0.001) and ER+ breast cancer (OR = 0.823, 95% CI 0.693-0.977, P = 0.026). However, we found no association between food-derived vitamin E and ER- breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested food-derived vitamin E can decrease the risk of breast cancer overall and ER+ breast cancer, and the robustness of our results was confirmed by sensitivity analyses.

Abstract
Objectives The risk factors for extraurothelial recurrence (EUR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) are currently inconsistent and unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify these risk factors and develop a grading system for EUR. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 220 patients who underwent RNU for UTUC in our center from January 2009 to December 2020. Overall survival (OS) and extraurothelial recurrence-free survival (EURFS) were compared using the Kaplan-Meier curve with a log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were applied to identify the independent risk factors related to EUR. Results The median follow-up period was 42 (range: 2-143) months. Of the 220 patients, 61 patients developed EUR in our cohort, which had worse survival outcome. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed pathologic stage, lymph node (LN) status, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), Ki-67, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were independent risk factors for EUR. The Kaplan-Meier curves revealed a significant difference in EUR among the three risk groups. Conclusion Our study suggests that pathologic stage, LN status, LVI, Ki-67, NLR, and PLR are independent risk factors for EUR in UTUC patients after RNU. The development of a grading system for EUR risk stratification may assist urologists in making clinical decisions regarding the management of UTUC.

The β-delayed proton decay of ^{13}O has previously been studied, but the direct observation of β-delayed 3αp decay has not been reported. Rare 3αp events from the decay of excited states in ^{13}N^{⋆} provide a sensitive probe of cluster configurations in ^{13}N. To measure the low-energy products following β-delayed 3αp decay, the Texas Active Target (TexAT) time projection chamber was employed using the one-at-a-time β-delayed charged-particle spectroscopy technique at the Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University. A total of 1.9×10^{5} ^{13}O implantations were made inside the TexAT time projection chamber. A total of 149 3αp events were observed, yielding a β-delayed 3αp branching ratio of 0.078(6)%. Four previously unknown α-decaying excited states were observed in ^{13}N at 11.3, 12.4, 13.1, and 13.7 MeV decaying via the 3α+p channel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Padsevonil (PSL) is a novel antiepileptic drug candidate that inhibits seizure activity in both presynaptic and postsynaptic ways. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles and volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) application of PSL in the Chinese population are limited. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the PK profile of PSL and its 2 metabolites, the safety of PSL, and compare the PK profile of PSL from samples collected using the VAMS technique with that of conventional venous samples in healthy Chinese subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-dose study, the participants received either 200 mg PSL or placebo. Blood samples for the PK variables were collected using both the traditional venous method and the VAMS Mitra® technique at the scheduled time points. The PK parameters of PSL and 2 metabolites were calculated, and the concentration agreement of VAMS and venous samples were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 14 subjects were enrolled. The concentration-time profile of PSL showed rapid absorption with a median tmax of 1.25 h (range: 0.5 to 3.0), followed by an apparent biphasic disposition. For PSL, the geometric means of AUC(0-t), AUC, Cmax, and t1/2 were 6,573 h*ng/mL, 6,588 h*ng/mL, 1,387 ng/mL, and 5.275 h, respectively. The geometric mean body weight-normalized AUC(0-t), AUC, and Cmax were 5,712 h*ng/mL, 5,725 h*ng/mL, and 1,205 ng/mL, respectively. The AUC(0-t), AUC, Cmax of PSL and metabolites in VAMS-dried blood were all lower than those in plasma. The Passing-Bablok regression showed that the PSL and metabolite concentrations obtained by VAMS analysis were comparable to those obtained by plasma at some time points. The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were somnolence and dizziness. There were no serious TEAEs, severe TEAEs, discontinuations due to TEAEs, or deaths reported during this study. No clinically significant laboratory, vital signs, electrocardiograph (ECG), or physical examination results were reported. CONCLUSIONS PSL has a favorable PK profile after single-dose oral administration and good safety properties in healthy Chinese volunteers. The regression analysis results of VAMS and plasma indicated that the application of VAMS for therapeutic drug monitoring in novel antiepileptic drug development is promising and needs further validation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Studies have found that erectile dysfunction (ED) may be a short-term or long-term complication in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, but no relevant studies have completed a pooled analysis of this claim. The purpose of the review was to comprehensively search the relevant literature, summarize the prevalence of ED in COVID-19 patients, assess risk factors for its development, and explore the effect of the COVID-19 infection on erectile function. METHODS Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed from database inception until April 14, 2022. Heterogeneity was analyzed by χ2 tests and I2 was used as a quantitative test of heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses, meta-regression, and sensitivity analyses were used to analyze sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Our review included 8 studies, 4 of which functioned as a control group. There were 250,606 COVID-19 patients (mean age: 31-47.1 years, sample size: 23-246,990). The control group consisted of 10,844,200 individuals (mean age: 32.76-42.4 years, sample size 75-10,836,663). The prevalence of ED was 33% (95% CI 18-47%, I2 = 99.48%) in COVID-19 patients. The prevalence of ED based on the international coding of diseases (ICD-10) was 9% (95% CI 2-19%), which was significantly lower than the prevalence of ED diagnosed based on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) (46%, 95% CI 22-71%, I2 = 96.72%). The pooling prevalence of ED was 50% (95% CI 34-67%, I2 = 81.54%) for articles published in 2021, significantly higher than that for articles published in 2022 (17%, 95% CI 7-30%, I2 = 99.55%). The relative risk of developing ED was 2.64 times in COVID-19 patients higher than in non-COVID-19 patients (RR: 2.64, 95% CI 1.01-6.88). The GRADE-pro score showed that the mean incidence of ED events in COVID-19 patients was 1,333/50,606 (2.6%) compared with 52,937/844,200 (0.4%) in controls; the absolute impact of COVID-19 on ED was 656/100,000 (ranging from 4/100,000 to 2352/100,000). Anxiety (OR: 1.13, 95% CI 1.03-1.26, I2 = 0.0%) in COVID-19 patients was a risk factor for ED. CONCLUSION COVID-19 patients have a high risk and prevalence of ED, mainly driven by anxiety. Attention should be paid to patient's erectile functioning when treating COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With functionally heterogeneous cells, tumors comprise a complex ecosystem to promote tumor adaptability and evolution under strong selective pressure from the given microenvironment. Diversifying tumor cells or intra-tumor heterogeneity is essential for tumor growth, invasion, and immune evasion. However, no reliable method to classify tumor cell subtypes is yet available. In this study, we introduced the single-cell sequencing combined with copy number characteristics to identify the types of tumor cells in microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS To characterize the somatic copy number alteration (SCNA) of MSS CRC in a single cell profile, we analyzed 26 tissue samples from 19 Korean patients (GSE132465, the Samsung Medical Center [SMC] dataset) and then verified our findings with 15 tissue samples from five Belgian patients (GSE144735, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven 3 [KUL3] dataset). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort, GSE39582 cohort, and National Cancer Center (NCC) cohort (24 MSS CRC patients were enrolled in this study between March 2017 and October 2017) were used to validate the clinical features of prognostic signatures. RESULTS We employed single cell RNA-sequencing data to identify three types of tumor cells in MSS CRC by their SCNA characteristics. Among these three types of tumor cells, C1 and C3 had a higher SCNA burden; C1 had significant chromosome 13 and 20 amplification, whereas C3 was the polar opposite of C1, which exhibited deletion in chromosome 13 and 20. The three types of tumor cells exhibited various functions in the tumor microenvironment and harbored different mutations. C1 and C2 were linked to the immune response and hypoxia, respectively, while C3 was critical for cell adhesion activity and tumor angiogenesis. Additionally, one gene ( OLFM4 ) was identified as epithelium-specific biomarker of better prognosis of CRC (TCGA cohort: P = 0.0110; GSE39582 cohort: P = 0.0098; NCC cohort: P = 0.0360). CONCLUSIONS On the basis of copy number characteristics, we illustrated tumor heterogeneity in MSS CRC and identified three types of tumor cells with distinct roles in tumor microenvironment. By understanding heterogeneity in the intricate tumor microenvironment, we gained an insight into the mechanisms of tumor evolution, which may support the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the awareness of malaria-related knowledge, the use of mosquito nets and their influencing factors among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. METHODS In August 2020, 19 settlement sites in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province were selected as study areas, and permanent residents at ages of 10 years and older were enrolled for a questionnaire survey, including residents' demographics, family economic status, malaria control knowledge and use of mosquito nets. In addition, the factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 320 questionnaires were allocated, and all were recovered (a 100% recovery rate). There were 316 valid questionnaires, with an effective recovery rate of 98.75%. The 316 respondents included 152 men and 164 women and 250 Chinese respondents and 66 foreign respondents. The awareness of clinical syndromes of malaria was significantly higher among Chinese residents (71.60%) than among foreign residents (50.00%) (χ2 = 11.03, P < 0.01), and the proportions of Chinese and foreign residents sleeping under mosquito nets were 46.00% and 69.70% on the night prior to the survey, respectively (χ2 = 11.73, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified ethnicity group and type of residence as factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey. CONCLUSIONS The awareness of malaria control knowledge, the coverage and the use of mosquito nets were low among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. Targeted health education is recommended to improve the awareness of malaria control knowledge and self-protection ability. In addition, improving the allocation of long-lasting mosquito nets and health education pertaining to their uses and increasing the proportion of using mosquito nets correctly is needed to prevent re-establishment of imported malaria.

Abstract
T-cell dysfunction has been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). In recent studies, the increased expression of BMP6 has been reported to be related to SS. However, the roles that BMP6 plays in immune homeostasis in the development of SS as well as the downstream signals activated by BMP6 remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects and molecular mechanisms of BMP6 on naive CD4+ T cells, showing that BMP6 could upregulate interferon (IFN)-γ secretion from CD4+ T cells through a ceramide/nuclear factor-κB pathway, with no effect on T-cell activation or proliferation. Moreover, an in vivo study showed that anticeramide treatment (myriocin) for an SS animal model (NOD/LtJ mice) could significantly decrease the IFN-γ expression and Th1 frequency in the salivary glands and suppress the inflammation infiltration in salivary glands and maintain the salivary flow rates, both of which reflect SS-like symptoms. This study identifies a promising target that could effectively attenuate the abnormal state of CD4+ T cells and reverse the progression of SS.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to evaluate the effect of the timing of diagnostic ureteroscopy (URS) on intravesical recurrence (IVR) following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Patients and methods The clinical data of 220 patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) treated with RNU at our center from June 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the timing of the URS, all patients were divided into three groups: the no URS group, the 1-session group (diagnostic URS immediately followed by RNU), and the 2-session group (RNU after diagnostic URS). Additionally, we analyzed IVR-free survival (IVRFS) using the Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional regression methods. Results The median follow-up period of these 220 patents was 41 (range: 2-143) months. Among them, 58 patients developed IVR following RNU. Kaplan-Meier curve displayed a significantly higher IVR rate in both treatment groups than in the no-URS group (p=0.025). In the subgroup of patients with renal pelvis cancer, the incidence of IVR was significantly higher in both treatment groups than in the group without URS (p=0.006). In univariate Cox proportional regression analysis, the two treatment groups were risk factors for IVR compared to the no-URS group [p=0.027, hazard ratio (HR): 1.93, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-3.46]. The two-stage group (p=0.032, HR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.08-3.65), positive urine pathology (p<0.001, HR: 8.12, 95% CI: 3.63-18.15), adjuvant chemotherapy (p<0.001, HR: 0.20, 95% CI: 0.10-0.38), and positive margin (p<0.0001, HR: 7.50, 95% CI: 2.44-23.08) were all identified as independent predictors in the multivariate. Conclusion This study revealed that delayed RNU following diagnostic URS may increase the risk of postoperative IVR in patients with UTUC, preoperatively positive uropathology, and positive surgical margin were risk factors for IVR after RNU, while early postoperative chemotherapy may effectively prevent IVR. Delay of RUN after URS could increase the risk of IVR.

Abstract
PURPOSE We systematically reviewed the effectiveness of hexaminolevulinic acid (HAL) after traditional light cystoscopy vs. only white light cystoscopy (WLC) on nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) clinical outcomes. METHODS Systematic literature searches of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane database and reference lists were performed. A total of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of HAL fluorescent cystoscopy (FC) and WLC vs. white light cystoscopy alone for the diagnosis of initial or recurrent bladder cancer that reported bladder cancer recurrence, progression, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and other effects were selected for review. RESULTS Our results included 2,775 patients identified for analysis and showed that the HAL group had a lower recurrence rate than the white light cystoscopy group with a statistically significant difference (RR=0.77, 95% CI 0.69-0.85. P < 0.05), and this advantage still existed for patients receiving intravesical chemotherapy. There was also a statistically significant difference in favour of fluorescent cystoscopy in recurrence-free survival and progression rate (HR=0.79, 95% CI 0.67-0.92. P < 0.05, RR = 0.63, 95% CI 0.43-0.94. P < 0.05, respectively). The time to first recurrence was not significantly different from that in the WLC group (SMD=0.73, 95% CI, -0.39-1.85. P = 0.2). And the HAL group did not have a significantly reduced residual tumor rate (RR=0.59, 95% CI 0.23-1.51. P = 0.27). CONCLUSIONS Fluorescent cystoscopy was associated with a reduced risk of bladder cancer recurrence and reduced progression rate; it also has advantages for RFS. However, there was no significant difference in the rate of residual tumor and the time of first recurrence. More studies are needed to better understand the effects of the photosensitizer used on NMIBC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with a high incidence, it is vital to identify modifiable and avoidable risk factors for primary prevention, which can significantly lower the risk of cancer by preventing exposure to hazards and altering risky behavior. Some observational studies suggest that an increase in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) consumption can reduce lung cancer risk. However, interpretation of these observational findings is difficult due to residual confounding or reverse causality. To evaluate the link between DHA and lung cancer, we have undertaken this analysis to examine the causal association between DHA and the risk of lung cancer using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. METHODS We performed a two-sample MR analysis to evaluate the causal effect of plasma DHA levels on lung cancer risk. For the exposure data, we extracted genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs) that are strongly associated with DHA from a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS). We obtained the corresponding effect estimates for IVs on the risk of lung cancer with 11,348 cases and 15,861 controls. Finally, we applied Mendelian randomization analysis to obtain preliminary MR results and performed sensitivity analyses to verify the robustness of our results. RESULTS According to the primary MR estimates and further sensitivity analyses, a higher serum DHA level was associated with a higher risk of lung cancer [OR = 1.159, 95% CI (1.04-1.30), P = 0.01]. For lung adenocarcinoma, the results also showed a close correlation between the DHA level and lung adenocarcinoma [OR = 1.277, 95% CI (1.09-1.50), P = 0.003], but it was not statistically significant for squamous cell carcinoma [OR = 1.071, 95% CI (0.89-1.29), P = 0.467]. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that plasma DHA is positively associated with the risk of lung cancer overall, especially for lung adenocarcinoma. This study provides new information to develop dietary guidelines for primary lung cancer prevention.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) are responsible for major economic losses and represent a threat to the swine industry worldwide. Routine surveillance serology for CSF and PRRS viruses is critical to maintaining the health status of sow farms in Hunan Province, which is one of the top pig production provinces in China. The aim of our study was to investigate the serological statistics of CSF virus (CSFV) and PRRS virus (PRRSV) in Hunan Province. The cohort serum samples were collected from vaccinated and unvaccinated pigs. Our findings showed that the average rates of CSFV and PRRSV antibody seropositivity were 82.2% (95% CI: 80.1-84.3) and 84.8% (95% CI: 82.5-87.1), respectively, in the immunized group and that these rates were higher than those in the unvaccinated group (58.6% for CSFV and 47.8% for PRRSV). Additionally, the level of CSFV antibody in piglet serum declined gradually with age, whereas PRRSV-specific antibody level increased initially (1 to 2 weeks old) and then declined with age (2 to 4 weeks old). In summary, we investigated the difference in CSFV/PRRSV antibody levels among piglets at various weeks old (1 to 4 weeks) to further establish the duration of maternal immunity in piglets. In addition, routine monitoring of CSFV/PRRSV antibodies in immunized pigs was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of vaccination.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe risk factors for intravesical recurrence (IVR) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) remain inconsistent and unclear. Thus, the risk factors of IVR after RNU and the prognostic significance of the risk indicators were explored herein.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed UTUC patients upon RNU in our center from January 2009 to December 2019. After propensity score matching, 139 patients were included in this study. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regressions were used to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% confidence intervals. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were measured using the Kaplan–Meier curve with a log-rank test. A P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsWe included 139 patients with a median follow-up of 42 months, of which 48 patients had an intravesical recurrence. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed cytological abnormalities in urine (HR=3.101, P=0.002), hydronephrosis (HR=1.852, P=0.042), adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.242, P<0.001), and previous history of bladder cancer (HR=5.51, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for IVR. As for clinical outcomes, OS and CSS suggested disadvantages in patients with IVR compared with patients without recurrence (P=0.042 for OS, P<0.0001 for CSS), OS of patients with abnormal urine cytology and OS and CSS of patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy did not present clinical significance, and other risk factors all affected the clinical outcome.ConclusionIn this propensity-score matching study, cytological abnormality of urine, hydronephrosis, adjuvant chemotherapy and previous history of bladder cancer were shown to be independent risk factors for IVR. Moreover, risk factors also influence clinical outcomes, thereby rendering it necessary to adopt more active postoperative surveillance and treatment strategies for these patients, which may help improve treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Passenger lymphocyte syndrome (PLS) is an immune-mediated hemolysis that occurs after ABO-mismatched kidney transplantation. PLS is caused by donor lymphocytes producing antibodies to recipient red blood cells, resulting in hemolysis. The incidence of PLS has been reported to be approximately 20% in patients with ABO-mismatched groups. Nevertheless, there is no comprehensive review of PLS following renal transplantation. In this review, we systematically summarized the data of patients with PLS after renal transplantation to help clinicians diagnose and treat more effectively. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. All relevant data were collected, including age, sex, and clinical and immune parameters. RESULTS A total of 91 published cases were identified. The age ranged from 9 to 70 years old and 58.2% were male. Eighty-six cases were only kidney transplantations, one was liver-kidney transplantation, three were pancreas-kidney transplantations, and one was intestinal-kidney transplantation. Of these cases, 27 received kidneys from deceased donors, whereas 40 received kidneys from living donors. Most patients showed immune hemolysis dominated by anaemia, which was significantly improved after symptomatic support treatment, such as blood transfusion and erythropoietin injection. CONCLUSION PLS is an immune-mediated disease that can occur in patients with ABO-mismatched renal transplantation, which commonly causes hemolysis, although death or deformities of the graft can also occur in patients with the disorder. Symptomatic supportive treatment is an effective treatment scheme at present, but more effective treatment and prevention schemes still need to be explored.

Abstract
Superelastic NiTi alloy and 304 stainless steel (304 SS) were joined with a Cu interlayer by ultrasonic spot welding (USW) using different welding energy inputs. The surface morphology, interfacial microstructure, mechanical properties, and fracture mechanisms of the dissimilar NiTi/304 SS USWed joints were studied. The results showed that the surface oxidation intensified with increasing ultrasonic welding energy due to mutual rubbing between tools and sheets. The weld interface microstructure exhibited voids or unbonded zones at low energy inputs, while an intimate contact was established at the joining interface when applying a higher energy input of 750 J. With increasing energy input to 750 J, the weld interface shows two interfaces due to the behavior of plastic flow of Cu interlayer. The lap-shear load of the joints first increased, achieving a maximum value of ∼690 N at an energy input of 750 J, and then decreased with further increase in welding energy. Interfacial failure was observed at NiTi/Cu interface at all energy inputs, and no intermetallic compounds were found on the fracture surfaces of both the NiTi/Cu and Cu/304 SS interfaces.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the prognostic value of preoperative blood-based inflammation biomarkers, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR), on the survival outcomes of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Methods: We retrospectively studied the data of 172 patients who were diagnosed with UTUC after RNU during 2008 to 2018. We determined the cut-off value by using X-tile software. The area under the curve (AUC) and concordance index (C-index) were utilized to compare the predictive accuracy between subgroups. We also performed decision curve analysis (DCA) to evaluate the clinical net benefit of prognostic models. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression models were performed to evaluate the association between these inflammation biomarkers and survival outcomes. Results: The median follow-up period was 45.5 (range: 1-143; interquartile range, IQR: 27-77) months. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that a high NLR or PLR significantly reduced overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS), and a low LMR markedly decreased RFS and MFS. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the NLR plus PLR was an independent predictor of worse survival (all P < .05). Additionally, the AUC and C-index of the new prognostic models were the largest for the 1- to 5-year OS, CSS, RFS, and MFS were the largest. Conclusion: Our study confirms that the combination of preoperative NLR and PLR could be an independent risk factor for UTUC patients who have undergone RNU. The addition of NLR and PLR may improve the accuracy of current prognostic models and help guide clinical strategies in the treatment of UTUC.

Abstract
To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of endometrial cancer patients with lymph node metastasis to provide a reference for lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer. The data used in this study were extracted from a tertiary hospital in Guangxi, China based on the hospital information system. 1219 patients with endometrial malignancy who were treated in our hospital. The lymph node metastasis rate was 9.8%. The metastasis rate of the abdominal aorta + pelvic lymph nodes (56.7%) was significantly higher than that of the pelvic (24.2%) or para-aortic (19.2%) lymph nodes alone. The proportion of postmenopausal patients with lymph node metastasis was higher than that of premenopausal patients. The proportion of patients with lymph node metastasis with vaginal and uterus involvement, HPV detection, Thinprep Cytologic Testresults, CRP level <10 ug/mL, G3 tumor grade, postoperative pathology indicating cervical invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and muscular infiltration depth > 1/2 was higher than that of patients without lymph node metastasis. The proportion of endometrial cancer patients with lymph node metastasis with CA125 ≥ 35 U/ml was higher than that of those with CA125 < 35 U/ml. The lymph node-positive rate is related to tissue differentiation, lymphangitic infiltration, cervical invasion, muscle infiltration depth > 1/2, and CA125 level. The metastasis rate of pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes is higher than that of pelvic lymph nodes or para-aortic lymph nodes alone. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall survival rate among the three groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To optimize the protocol of meniscus cell extraction to enhance the efficiency of cell suspension preparation and maintain a high cell viability for single-cell RNA sequencing. METHODS We compared the efficiency of the routine cell extraction methods (short-time digestion and long-time digestion) and the optimized protocol for obtaining meniscus cell suspensions by evaluating the cell number obtained and the cell viability. Single-cell RNA sequencing datasets were analyzed to evaluate the stability of the cell suspension prepared using the optimized protocol. The reliability of the optimized protocol was assessed by comparing the single-cell RNA sequencing dataset obtained by the optimized protocol with published single-cell RNA sequencing datasets of the meniscus. RESULTS The optimized protocol harvested a greater number of cells (over 1×105) than the routine protocols. The cell suspension prepared with the optimized protocol showed a cell viability higher than 80%, the highest among the 3 methods. Analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets showed that the ratio of the mitochondrial genes was below 20% in over 80% of the cells. CD34+ cells, MCAM+ cells and COL1A1+ cells were identified in the datasets. Comparison with the publish datasets showed that the optimized protocol was capable of harvesting COL3A1+, COL1A1+, MYLK+, BMP2+, CD93+ and CDK1+ cells. CONCLUSION Single-cell suspension prepared from the meniscus can be stably obtained using the optimized protocol for single-cell RNA sequencing using the 10× Genomics platform.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prepare the human bone morphogenetic protein-2(hBMP-2)/human insulin-like growth factor-1(hIGF-1)coating titanium(Ti)and assess its performance as a dental implant material. METHODS hBMP-2 and hIGF-1 were coated to the smooth surface of a Ti plate, and its efficacy for promoting bone formation and bone integration was compared with a pristine Ti plate.The surface characteristics of the metal samples were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and by contact angle measurement.MG63 cells were seeded on the surface of the Ti plates, and MTT assay and alizarin red staining was used to examine the cell proliferation and formation of calcified nodules, respectively.Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)secretion of the cells was examined with ELISA, and cellular expressions of osteocalcin and osteopontin were detected with Western blotting for assessing osteogenesis. RESULTS SEM examination showed that the surface of Ti with hBMP-2 and hIGF-1 coating presented with a radial pattern resembling snowflakes.The contact angles of non-coated Ti, hBMP-2-coated Ti, hIGF-1-coated, and hBMP-2/-hIGF-1-coated Ti samples were 83.2°, 54°, 56° and 54°, respectively.Compared with the non-coated Ti plate, the surface-modified Ti samples showed a significantly smaller contact angle (P=0.032, 0.029, and 0.028), indicating a good hydrophilicity of the samples.MTT assay showed that MG63 cells grew well on the surface of the coated Ti plates.The hBMP-2/IGF-1 coating significantly induced cellular secretion of ALP(P=0.021, 0.014)and obviously promoted osteogenesis of MG63 cells (P < 0.05).Western blotting results showed that hBMP-2/IGF-1 coating significantly enhanced the expressions of osteocalcin and osteopontin in the seeded cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION hBMP-2 and hIGF-1 coating of Ti material can promote osteogenesis of the cells seeded on its surface to improve the performance of such Ti material as dental implants.

Abstract
The present study aimed to assess current evidence on the effectiveness and safety of minimally invasive vs. standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the management of renal stones. A systematic search of electronic databases, which included PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library up to May 2019 was performed. Using Review Manager statistical software (version 5.3), primary outcomes, including stone-free rates (SFRs), were evaluated. Meanwhile, analysis was also performed to compare secondary outcomes, such as peri- and postoperative complications and operative data. Fourteen studies involving 1,611 patients with renal stones were analyzed based on the inclusion criteria. On the basis of the present analysis, mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL) was proven to have non-inferior clinical efficacy with respect to the SFR compared with PCNL [odds ratio (OR)=1.10; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.84-1.44; P=0.48]. In addition, the meta-analysis showed that MPCNL had a significantly lower hemoglobin decrease [mean difference (MD)=-0.68; 95% CI, -1.05 to -0.31; P=0.0003] and fewer blood transfusions (OR=0.36; 95% CI, 0.18-0.71; P=0.003) compared with PCNL. Moreover, the MPCNL group had a shorter inpatient stay (MD=-0.81; 95% CI, -1.55 to -0.08; P=0.03) compared with the PCNL group. However, the overall evidence was insufficient to suggest a statistically significant difference in the adverse event profile for MPCNL compared with PCNL. The present meta-analysis indicates that MPCNL is an effective method for treating renal stones. Compared with PCNL, MPCNL not only has similarly high SFRs but is also associated with less blood loss, fewer blood transfusions, more favorable recovery time and shorter inpatient stays. However, the findings of the present study should be further confirmed by well-designed prospective randomized controlled trials with a larger patient series.

Abstract
AIM The present study examined the associations between night-time sleep duration, midday napping duration and bedtime, and fasting glucose levels, and whether or not such associations are dependent on gender and age. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional analysis of 172,901 adults aged≥40 years living in mainland China. Sleep duration was obtained by self-reports of bedtime at night, waking-up time the next morning and average napping duration at midday. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG)≥7.0mmol/L was defined as hyperglycaemia. Independent associations between night-time sleep duration, midday naptime duration and bedtime with hyperglycaemia were evaluated using regression models. RESULTS Compared with night-time sleep durations of 6-7.9h, both short (<6h) and long (≥8h) night-time sleep durations were significantly associated with an increased risk of hyperglycaemia in women [odds ratio (OR): 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01-1.29 and OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.08-1.21, respectively], and revealed a U-shaped distribution of risk in women and no significant association in men. Long midday nap durations (≥1h) were significantly but weakly associated with hyperglycaemia (OR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.09) compared with no napping without interactions from gender or age, whereas the association between bedtime and fasting glucose levels did vary according to gender and age. CONCLUSION Night-time sleep duration, midday napping duration and bedtime were all independently associated with the risk of hyperglycaemia, and some of the associations between these sleep characteristics and hyperglycaemia were gender- and age-dependent.

Abstract
Carbohydrate recognition is established as a property of lectins and implicated in many functions including immunity and defense against pathogens. Many lectins are characterized and proposed for various applications owing to the above said recognition. The crystal structure of a lectin from Pleurotus ostreatus has been determined and shown to be calcium dependent. The overall structure is a tandem repeat of two β-jelly roll domains, a new fold for lectins. The calcium dependence of sugar binding is analyzed in-detail through isothermal titration calorimetry. The serendipitous observation of malonate and glycerol, the intentional N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine, D-Galactose and L-Rhamnose binding to Pleurotus ostreatus lectin by Ca2+ coordination revealed that the binding site is promiscuous. Among these sugars, Rhamnose binding found to be thermodynamically most favourable. In all these structures, a vicinal diol motif, one at axial and the other at equatorial positions could be established as a specific requirement for binding. Interestingly, when compared with other calcium mediated lectin structures; this geometric requirement is found conserved. This observation could lead to the conclusion that lectins are not 'molecule specific' but 'geometry specific' so that any molecule not necessarily a sugar may be recognized by this lectin if the geometry exists.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) could affect storage root growth and development of sweet potato. To manage external N concentration fluctuations, plants have developed a wide range of strategies, such as growth changes and gene expression. Five sweet potato cultivars were used to analyse the functions of N in regulating storage root growth. Growth responses and physiological indicators were measured to determine the physiological changes regulated by different N concentrations. Expression profiles of related genes were analysed via microarray hybridization data and qRT-PCR analysis to reveal the molecular mechanisms of storage root growth regulated by different N concentrations. The growth responses and physiological indicators of the five cultivars were changed by N concentration. The root fresh weight of two of the sweet potato cultivars, SS19 and GS87, was higher under low N concentrations compared with the other cultivars. SS19 and GS87 were found to be having greater tolerance to low N concentration. The expression of N metabolism and storage root growth related genes was regulated by N concentration in sweet potato. These results reveal that N significantly regulated storage root growth. SS19 and GS87 were more tolerant to low N concentration and produced greater storage root yield (at 30 days). Furthermore, several N response genes were involved in both N metabolism and storage root growth.

Abstract
We describe a Sagnac interferometer suitable for rotation sensing, implemented using an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a harmonic magnetic trap. The atom wave packets are split and recombined by standing-wave Bragg lasers, and the trapping potential steers the packets along circular trajectories with a radius of 0.2 mm. Two conjugate interferometers are implemented simultaneously to provide common-mode rejection of noise and to isolate the rotation signal. With interference visibilities of about 50%, we achieve a rotation sensitivity comparable to Earth's rate in about 10 min of operation. Gyroscope operation was demonstrated by rotating the optical table on which the experiment was performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent studies have revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the progression of tumorigenesis. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a disease widely widespread all over the world. The aim of this study was to identify how lncRNA INHBA-AS1 functions in the progression of OSCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS LncRNA INHBA-AS1 expression in both OSCC cells and 48 paired tissue samples was detected by Real Time-quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). The function of INHBA-AS1 was identified by the transwell assay, wound healing assay, and proliferation assay in vitro. Meanwhile, the role of INHBA-AS1 was investigated through tumor formation assay in vivo. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism was explored by the luciferase assays and RNA immunoprecipitation assay (RIP). RESULTS INHBA-AS1 was highly expressed in OSCC tissues when compared with adjacent tissue samples. The proliferation, invasion, and migration of OSCC cells were significantly inhibited after the knockdown of INHBA-AS1 in vitro. Meanwhile, the knockdown of INHBA-AS1 remarkably inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Besides, miR-143-3p was down-regulated after the knockdown of INHBA-AS1 in vitro. The expression of miR-143-3p was negatively correlated with the expression of INHBA-AS1 in OSCC tissues. In addition, miR-143-3p was directly targeted by INHBA-AS1. CONCLUSIONS The knockdown of INHBA-AS1 repressed cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in OSCC by sponging miR-143-3p, which might offer a new therapeutic intervention for OSCC patients.
