Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the risk of developing hypertension among rural Chinese adults. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from 2007 to 2008, involving 20 194 adults selected through random cluster sampling from a rural community in Luoyang City, Henan Province. Follow-ups were carried out in 2013-2014 and 2018-2020. After excluding participants with hypertension at baseline, those with missing TyG index data, individuals who passed away during follow-up, and those with incomplete hypertension status at the second visit, 9 802 participants were included in the analysis. Baseline and follow-up assessments included questionnaire interviews, physical measurements (including blood pressure), and blood sample collection for fasting lipid and glucose levels. Participants were divided into four groups according to TyG index quartiles, and a modified Poisson regression model was utilized to assess the association between TyG index quartiles and hypertension risk. Results: The study cohort comprised 9 802 participants with a median age of 48 (39, 57) years, including 3 803 males (38.80%). Participants were distributed across TyG index quartiles as follows: TyG<8.2 group (2 224 individuals), TyG 8.2-8.5 group (2 653 individuals), TyG 8.6-8.9 (2 441 individuals), and TyG≥9.0 (2 484 individuals). Over a follow-up period of (11.1±1.3) years, 3 378 subjects developed hypertension, resulting in a cumulative incidence of 34.46% (3 378/9 802). The risk of hypertension increased with higher TyG index quartiles (Ptrend<0.05). Compared to the TyG<8.2, the TyG 8.2-8.5 (RR=1.11, 95%CI 1.01-1.22, P=0.023), TyG 8.6-8.9 (RR=1.16, 95%CI 1.06-1.27, P=0.023), and TyG≥9.0 (RR=1.20, 95%CI 1.10-1.31, P=0.023) exhibited increased hypertension risk after adjusting for age, gender, educational level, and other potential confounders. Subgroup analyses based on gender and age at baseline yielded results consistent with the main analysis. Conclusions: The TyG index is positively correlated with the risk of developing hypertension in the rural adult population.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of the Abdominal Aortic Calcification-8 (AAC-8) scoring system in predicting restenosis or occlusion of lower extremity arteries after dilatation and angioplasty with drug-coated balloon (DCB). Methods: In this retrospective study, 62 patients who underwent dilatation and angioplasty with DCB for lower limb atherosclerotic obliterans (ASO) were enrolled from September 2018 to June 2022 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University Medical School. Among them who aged (73.9±11.3) years, 37 were males and 25 were females. Patients were divided into two groups according to the condition of the lower extremity arteries after dilatation and angioplasty with DCB: recurrence group (n=26) and patency group (n=36). Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors associated with restenosis or occlusion of lower extremity arteries after dilatation and angioplasty with DCB. The predictive value of the AAC-8 score for restenosis or occlusion of the lower extremity arteries after dilatation and angioplasty with DCB was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves). Results: The postoperative follow-up was 16.30 (10.97, 24.10) months in the patency group and 9.03 (6.98, 15.31) months in the recurrence group. The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that an elevated AAC-8 score (OR=1.388, 95%CI: 1.067-1.806, P=0.015) was an associated factor of restenosis or occlusion of the lower extremity arteries after dilatation and angioplasty with DCB. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the AAC-8 score for predicting restenosis or occlusion of the lower extremity arteries after dilatation and angioplasty with DCB was 0.687 (95%CI: 0.550-0.824, P=0.013), with a cut-off value of 5.5 points, a sensitivity of 65.4% and a specificity of 69.5%. Conclusions: Elevated AAC-8 score is associated with restenosis or occlusion of the lower extremity arteries after dilatation and angioplasty with DCB. When the cut-off value is 5.5, the AAC-8 score predicts restenosis or occlusion of the lower extremity arteries after DCB dilation and angioplasty with a sensitivity of 65.4% and a specificity of 69.5%.

Abstract
The production of high-purity hydrogen using surplus electrical energy and abundant water resources has immense potential in mitigating the fossil energy crisis, as hydrogen fuel holds clean, pollution-free, and high-energy characteristics. However, the practical application of large-scale hydrogen production from water faces challenges such as high overpotentials, sluggish dynamics, and limited electrocatalytic lifetime associated with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, we fabricated the sandwich structure of a Ni/Fe3O4@poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene)/Ni (Ni/Fe3O4@PEDOT/Ni) electrode and employed a strong magnet to obtain a magnetic electrode capable of achieving high-activity and durability for HER. Electrochemical analysis reveals that the activated magnetic electrode displays a significantly reduced overpotential and an extended electrocatalytic lifetime of 10 days. Notably, its stability is higher than that of non-magnetic Ni/Fe3O4/Ni and Ni/Fe3O4@PEDOT/Ni electrodes, primarily due to the support from magnetic force and the protective PEDOT layer. Moreover, the minute atomized droplets can form the H2O2 species in a moist environment, facilitating the formation of the NiO layer on the Ni surface, which plays a vital role in boosting catalytic activity. In conclusion, our magnetic electrode strategy, combined with the emergence of the NiO layer, offers valuable insights for the development of advanced HER electrodes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the chronic respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function of adult residents in 3 towns of Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, and to explore their risk factors. Methods: The investigation of chronic respiratory symptoms and lung function status of adult residents in Hongdong County is based on the regional population of the entire county in Hongdong County. The project was initiated by the Science and Technology Department of Linfen City and coordinated by the Hongdong County Government. The investigation will be conducted in 3 townships in Hongdong County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province from April to November 2021: Demographic characteristics, respiratory symptoms, smoking dust exposure and other personal history were collected through questionnaires. Physical examination, routine blood tests and lung function tests were also performed on each individual. SPSS 22.0 software was used to conduct t test, χ2 test, ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test for statistical analysis of the collected information. Results: 10 945 subjects aged 18-102 years were included in the analysis, of whom 3 754 (34.3%) were male, 1 222 (11.2%) had a history of dust exposure, 7 164 (65.5%) had used straw and firewood as cooking fuel, and 3 296 (30.1%) had a history of smoking. Among the participants, 394 (3.6%), 339 (3.1%), and 1 543 (14.1%) had respiratory symptoms such as chronic cough, sputum, and dyspnea. Statistics showed that the population with chronic respiratory symptoms was more elderly and had a smoking history, and the incidence of chronic respiratory symptoms was higher in those who smoked more than 40 packs a year (all P<0.05). Men with a history of dust exposure were more likely to suffer from chronic cough and expectoration, while emaciation and biofuel use for more than 40 years were more likely to suffer from chronic expectoration and dyspnea (all P<0.05). The median values of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC in 1 second were 2.19 L/s, 3.24 L and 69.16%, respectively. Among them, the lung function of 5 801 (53.0%) respondents was lower than the expected value. The median FEV1/FVC decreased with the increase of age. The FEV1/FVC of people over 40 years old with smoking history was lower, the dust exposure history of people with decreased lung function was more than that of people with normal lung function, and the incidence of chronic expectoration and dyspnea was higher in people with decreased lung function (all P<0.05). The absolute value and ratio of eosinophils in patients with decreased ventilation function over 60 years old were significantly higher than those with normal ventilation function, but the level of body mass index (BMI) was lower (all P<0.05). Conclusion: In Hongdong County, Shanxi Province, grassroots residents have poor medical awareness, low lung function examination rate, chronic respiratory symptoms and lung function decline are associated with more risk factors. Primary medical institutions need to formulate prevention strategies and carry out lung function detection according to the actual situation, focusing on monitoring and follow-up of high-risk groups to achieve early and timely prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on the improvement of depressive-like behavior and the splenic α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAchR) / Janus kinase 2 (JAK2 / signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depressive-like behavior rats, so as to investigate the antidepressant mechanism of taVNS. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into SD control group, SD model group and SD taVNS group, and α7nAchR knockout rats were also randomly divided into α7 control group, α7 model group and α7 taVNS group, with 6 rats in each group. Rat model of depressive-like behavior was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (1 mg/kg). Rats in both SD taVNS and α7 taVNS groups received taVNS intervention once a day (2 Hz/15 Hz, 2 mA, 30 min) from 7 days before LPS injection to 2 days after LPS injection, respectively. The mean speed, activity time and side immobility time in the open field test were recorded after taVNS. The contents of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1) in serum were detected by electrochemiluminescence multifactorial method. The splenic phosphorylated (p)-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expressions were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with their respective control groups, the mean speed and active time were reduced (P<0.01, P<0.05, P<0.001) and the side immobility time was increased (P<0.001) in the open field test, serum IL-10 and CXCL1 levels were up-regulated (P<0.01, P<0.05, P<0.001), and splenic p-JAK2 protein expressions were down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01) in SD and α7nAchR knockout rats, and splenic p-STAT3 protein expression were down-regulated (P<0.05) in SD rats after LPS injection. Following taVNS intervention and in comparison with the model group , the mean speed and active time were increased (P<0.01) and the side immobility time was decreased (P<0.001) in the open field test, serum IL-10 and CXCL1 levels down-regulated (P<0.05), while splenic p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expressions were up-regulated (P<0.01, P<0.001) in the SD taVNS group rather than in the α7 taVNS group. Compared with SD taVNS group, the α7 taVNS group showed increased (P<0.001, P<0.05) side immobility time in the open field test and serum IL-10, decreased splenic p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein expressions (P<0.01, P<0.05). CONCLUSION taVNS may exert anti-inflammatory effects through modulating the splenic α7nAchR/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, thereby ameliorating LPS-induced depressive-like behavior in rats.

Abstract
Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is defined as an enamel mineralization defect caused by systemic factors, which is characterized by demarcated opacities. These opacities are liable to result in brittle hypomineralized enamel breakdown, which expediting the eventual development of cavities, even tooth loss. Early diagnosis and prompt intervention are essential. The MIH scoring system based on the diagnostic criteria of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) is internationally recognized. This system is particularly helpful to diagnose and evaluate the MIH, as well as conductive to the performance of epidemiological investigations. This paper gives a presentation on the EAPD judgment criteria and scoring system as well as their applications, based on the current situation of MIH studies and our findings of MIH epidemiological investigation.

Abstract
To understand the coloring mechanism in black radish, the integrated metabolome and transcriptome analyses of root skin from a black recombinant inbred line (RIL 1901) and a white RIL (RIL 1911) were carried out. A total of 172 flavonoids were detected, and the analysis results revealed that there were 12 flavonoid metabolites in radish root skin, including flavonols, flavones, and anthocyanins. The relative concentrations of most flavonoids in RIL 1901 were higher than those in RIL 1911. Meanwhile, the radish root skin also contained 16 types of anthocyanins, 12 of which were cyanidin and its derivatives, and the concentration of cyanidin 3-o-glucoside was very high at different development stages of black radish. Therefore, the accumulation of cyanidin and its derivatives resulted in the black root skin of radish. In addition, a module positively related to anthocyanin accumulation and candidate genes that regulate anthocyanin synthesis was identified by the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Among them, structural genes (RsCHS, RsCHI, RsDFR, and RsUGT75C1) and transcription factors (TFs) (RsTT8, RsWRKY44L, RsMYB114, and RsMYB308L) may be crucial for the anthocyanin synthesis in the root skin of black radish. The anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway in the root skin of black radish was constructed based on the expression of genes related to flavonoid and anthocyanin biosynthesis pathways (Ko00941 and Ko00942) and the relative expressions of metabolites. In conclusion, this study not only casts new light on the synthesis and accumulation of anthocyanins in the root skin of black radish but also provides a molecular basis for accelerating the cultivation of new black radish varieties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on plasma melatonin (MLT) content and insulin receptor expression in the liver, the skeletal muscles, and the pancreas of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, so as to explore the hypoglycemic mechanism of taVNS. METHODS Thirty male ZDF rats were randomly divided into model group, taVNS group and sham-taVNS group, with 10 rats in each group; besides, 10 male Zucker lean rats of the same strain were collected for the blank control group. ZDF rats were fed with high-fat diet to induce type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat model. In the taVNS group, HANS-100A electroacupuncture instrument was used to stimulate the cavum conchae of both sides. The stimulation sites of rats in the sham-taVNS were the same as the taVNS group, but without electricity delivered. The above interventions were performed 30 min each time, once daily, lasting for 6 weeks. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured weekly in each group, the plasma metatonin (MLT) content was detected by ELISA, and the insulin receptor expression level in the liver, the skeletal muscle and the pancreas was determined by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with the blank control group, the level of FBG of rats were increased (P<0.01), the plasma MLT content was decreased (P<0.01) and the insulin receptor expression level in the pancreatic tissue was decreased (P<0.01) in the model group. In the taVNS gruop, FBG was decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), the plasma MLT content was increased (P<0.01), and the insulin receptor expression level in the liver, the skeletal muscle and the pancreas was increased (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.001) when compared with the model group. Compared with the taVNS group, FBG was increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), the plasma MLT content was decreased (P<0.01), and the expression level of insulin receptors in the skeletal muscle and the pancreas was decreased (P<0.01, P<0.001) in the sham-taVNS group. CONCLUSION The taVNS can improve the insulin resistance and ultimately obtain the antihyperglycemic effect through regulating MLT concentration.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of T2 map and synthetic T2WI generated by T2 mapping in evaluating the histological type, pathological classification and depth of myometrial invasion of endometrial carcinoma (EC). Methods: Seventy-three patients with pathologically proven EC diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2019 to December 2021 and 42 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. All subjects underwent conventional MRI, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and T2 mapping sequence for the pelvic cavity to test the T2 values and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the focus nidus of the patients and the normal endometrium of the volunteers. The T2 and ADC values of EC vs normal endometrium, and those of different histological types and pathological grades were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of T2 and ADC values in determining the pathological type and classification of EC. In addition, two radiologists used synthetic T2WI combined with T2 map and conventional T2WI combined with DWI, respectively, to evaluate the depth of myometrial invasion, and compared the imaging results with the results of pathological diagnosis to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the two methods in determining the depth of myometrial invasion. Results: The T2 and ADC values of endometrial carcinoma were 85.0 (80.8, 92.5) ms and 0.71 (0.64, 0.77) ×10(-3) mm(2)/s, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of normal endometrium [147.4 (123.4, 176.7) ms and 1.46 (1.26, 1.76)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, respectively; both P<0.05]. The T2 values of endometrioid carcinoma (EA) [84.1 (79.5, 88.7) ms] were significantly lower than those of non-EA [98.8 (92.1, 102.8) ms; P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in ADC values between EA and non-EA (P=0.075). The T2 values of G1, G2 and G3 groups in EA were 89.1 (84.4, 94.4) ms, 83.6 (80.9, 86.2) ms, and 76.5 (71.4, 80.3) ms, respectively. There were significant differences in the T2 values between G1 vs G2, G1 vs G3, and G2 vs G3 groups, respectively (all P<0.017). Significant difference was also found in the ADC values between the G1 and G3 groups (P<0.017). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of T2 values in distinguishing EA from non-EA was 0.867. The AUC of T2 values, ADC values and their combination in predicting high-grade EA was 0.888, 0.730 and 0.895, respectively. The accuracy of synthetic T2WI+ T2 map and conventional T2WI+ DWI in the diagnosis of deep myometrial invasion was 78.1% and 79.5%, respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions: T2 mapping has great potential in preoperative evaluation of EC. The quantitative T2 value can be used in the diagnosis, pathological classification and grading of EC. The combination of synthetic T2WI and T2 map may be helpful to determine the depth of myometrial invasion.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the level of chromosome aberration in lymphocytes of medical radiation workers and its influencing factors. Methods: From July to September 2020, 252 medical workers in a tertiary hospital were selected as the study subjects and 107 preserviceworkers were selected as the control group. The Chromosomal aberrations of peripheral blood lymphocytes were measured using conventional cytogenetic analysis method, and the differences were analyzed. Results: The frequencies of dicentric puls centric ring, total chromosome-type aberrations, and abnormal detection rate in the radiation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (Z=2.59, 3.74, 9.99, P<0.05). There was significant difference in the frequencies of dicentric plus centric ring and total chromosome-type aberrations among different types of work (χ(2)=8.59, 8.17, 11.39, P<0.05), and the frequencies of dicentric plus centric ring were significantly higher in the interventional radiology group than those in diagnostic radiology (χ(2)=2.90, P<0.05), While the rates of acentric fragment and total chromosome-type aberrations were significantly higher in the nuclear medicine group than those in diagnostic radiology (χ(2)=2.81, 3.19, P<0.05). The difference in the abnormal detection rate of chromosome aberrations between different types of work was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the rate in the interventional radiology group was significantly higher than that in the diagnostic radiology group (χ(2)=7.66, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in chromosome aberration level and abnormal detection rate among different working ages (P>0.05). Poisson regression analysis indicated that the type of work is a risk factor for chromosomal aberration [IRR=2.31 (nuclear medicine group), 1.66 (Radiation therapy), and 1.78 (interventional group) ; P<0.05]. Conclusion: Ionizing radiation causes certain radiation damage to medical radiology workers, and the frequencies of chromosome aberration in the radiation workers of nuclear medicine and interventional radiology groups are relatively high, so radiation protection should be strengthened to ensure the health of relevant workers.

Abstract
Regular exercise paves the way to a healthy life. However, conventional sports events are susceptible to weather conditions. Current motion sensors for home-based sports are mainly limited by operation power consumption, single-direction sensitivity, or inferior data analysis. Herein, by leveraging the 3-dimensional printing technique and triboelectric effect, a wearable self-powered multidimensional motion sensor has been developed to detect both the vertical and planar movement trajectory. By integrating with a belt, this sensor could be used to identify some low degree of freedom motions, e.g., waist or gait motion, with a high accuracy of 93.8%. Furthermore, when wearing the sensor at the ankle position, signals generated from shank motions that contain more abundant information could also be effectively collected. By means of a deep learning algorithm, the kicking direction and force could be precisely differentiated with an accuracy of 97.5%. Toward practical application, a virtual reality-enabled fitness game and a shooting game were successfully demonstrated. This work is believed to open up new insights for the development of future household sports or rehabilitation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) on bidirectional differentiation of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1-positive mesenchymal stem cells (Gli1+-MSC). Methods: Breeding double reporter transgenic mice ROSAmT/mG/Gli1-CreERt2/PDGFRαfl (Experimental group) and ROSAmT/mG/Gli1-CreERt2 (Control group), 20 mice in each of the two groups at four weeks of age were selected, MSC were isolated from the mouse aortic epithelium. After tamoxifen inducement, the two groups of Gli1+-MSC were screened by green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeling and flow cytometry sorting. PDGFRα was conditionally knocked out in the experimental group, and the control group Gli1+-MSC expressed PDGFRα normally. The two groups of Gli1+-MSC were subjected to adipogenic induction and fibrogenic induction, the Western blotting was performed to detect PDGFRα, adipocyte markers [perilipin and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα)] and fibrogenic markers [alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibroblast-specific protein 1 (FSP-1)] and semi-quantitative analysis was performed. The degree of cellular adipose differentiation after bidirectional induction of Gli1+-MSC in both groups was observed by oil red O staining and analyzed semi-quantitatively. Results: After tamoxifen induction, Gli1+-MSC could be accurately isolated from flow cytometry by GFP labeling. Via adipogenic differentiation, the expression of PDGFRα in the experimental group (0.017±0.002) was significantly lower than that in the control group (0.184±0.012) (t=25.48,P=0.002). The protein expressions of perilipin (3.138±0.414) and C/EBPα (3.565±0.289) were significantly higher than those in the control group (2.312±0.218 and 2.179±0.103, respectively) (t=6.21,P=0.025;t=6.69,P=0.022). Thus, the knock-out of PDGFRα enhanced the adipogenic differentiation ability of Gli1+-MSC. After fibrogenesis induction, the protein expressions of PDGFRα, α-SMA and FSP-1 in the experimental group (0.030±0.001, 0.932±0.177 and 0.276±0.020, respectively) were significantly lower than those in the control group (0.439±0.006, 1.352±0.170 and 0.835±0.097, respectively) (t=149.40, P<0.001; t=66.38,P<0.001; t=11.41,P<0.08). This suggested that the knock-out of PDGFRα significantly inhibited Gli1+-MSC differentiation toward fibroblasts. After bidirectional induction, significantly less adipocyte formation was seen in the control group and more in the experimental group. Quantitative analysis showed that the amount of oil red O staining in the experimental group (0.461±0.042) was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.017±0.007) after bidirectional induction (t=23.20, P<0.01). Conclusions: PDGFRα plays an important role in the regulation of bidirectional differentiation of vascular adventitial Gli1+-MSC.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a primary cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unfortunately, there is no approved drug treatment for NASH. AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is an important metabolic sensor and whole-body regulator. It has been proposed that AMPK activators could be used for treating metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and NASH. In this study, we screened a marine natural compound library by monitoring AMPK activity and found a potent AMPK activator, candidusin A (CHNQD-0803). Further studies showed that CHNQD-0803 directly binds recombinant AMPK with a KD value of 4.728 × 10-8 M and activates AMPK at both molecular and intracellular levels. We then investigated the roles and mechanisms of CHNQD-0803 in PA-induced fat deposition, LPS-stimulated inflammation, TGF-β-induced fibrosis cell models and the MCD-induced mouse model of NASH. The results showed that CHNQD-0803 inhibited the expression of adipogenesis genes and reduced fat deposition, negatively regulated the NF-κB-TNFα inflammatory axis to suppress inflammation, and ameliorated liver injury and fibrosis. These data indicate that CHNQD-0803 as an AMPK activator is a novel potential therapeutic candidate for NASH treatment.

Abstract
Background Acupuncture is widely used as adjuvant therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD). There is robust evidence that inflammation is closely associated with MDD. To date, only a few numbers of studies have investigated the potential relationship between acupuncture and the change of inflammatory biomarkers in patients with MDD. Additionally, the results are inconsistent among studies. The current study aims to provide a comprehensive, systematic review of the association between acupuncture and changes in peripheral inflammation of patients with MDD, and clarify the alterations of inflammatory cytokines before and after acupuncture treatment by meta-analysis. Methods and analysis This study will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting acupuncture, with inflammatory cytokines as the outcome measured before and after intervention in patients with MDD, were searched in electronic databases, such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, SINOMED, Wanfang, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), and Chongqing VIP (CQVIP). Primary outcomes of interest will be validated to measure the levels of inflammatory cytokines before and after acupuncture treatment in patients with MDD. Discussion Acupuncture can drive anti-inflammatory effects, as well as symptom changes in MDD, which may represent a viable, multi-faceted treatment approach in MDD.

Abstract
Knowledge graph embedding is aimed at capturing the semantic information of entities by modeling the structural information between entities. For long-tail entities which lack sufficient structural information, general knowledge graph embedding models often show relatively low performance in link prediction. In order to solve such problems, this paper proposes a general knowledge graph embedding framework to learn the structural information as well as the attribute information of the entities simultaneously. Under this framework, a H-AKRL (Hypergraph Neural Networks based Attribute-embodied Knowledge Representation Learning) model is put forward, where the hypergraph neural network is used to model the correlation between entities and attributes at a higher level. The complementary relationship between attribute information and structural information is taken full advantage of, enabling H-AKRL to finally achieve the goal of improving link prediction performance. Experiments on multiple real-world data sets show that the H-AKRL model has significantly improved the link prediction performance, especially in the embeddings of long tail entities.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the surgical methods and effects of transoral endoscopic resection of benign tumors in parapharyngeal space via medial pterygomandibular raphe approach. Methods: The clinical data of 23 patients who underwent resection of benign tumors in parapharyngeal space by endoscopic medial pterygomandibular raphe approach from January 2016 to July 2020 in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were analyzed retrospectively. There were 14 males and 9 females with a median age of 43 years. The tumors were located in the anterior space of the styloid process in 13 cases and in the posterior space in 10 cases. The smallest tumor volume was 7.3 ml and the largest was 80.2 ml. The preoperative imaging features, the characteristics and risks of this approach in the operation were analyzed, and the feasible mode of operation was explored. Results: All patients completed the operation successfully. The intraoperative blood loss was 20 to 50 ml, with an average of 28.3 ml. The operation time was 40 to 110 min, with an average of 75.4 min. The incision length was 2 to 4 cm, with an average of 3.0 cm. The postoperative pain score was 2 to 4, with an average of 3.2. The postoperative hospital stay was 4 to 9 d, with an average of 6.7 d. Postoperative pathological diagnosis included pleomorphic adenoma (n=12), neurilemmoma (n=10) and basal cell adenoma (n=1). The patients were followed up for 6 to 60 months. There was no postoperative complication such as infection or serious bleeding, and there was no tumor recurrence after operation. Conclusion: Endoscopic resection of benign tumor in parapharyngeal space via medial pterygomandibular raphe approach is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of tumors in parapharyngeal space.

Abstract
Background Stress-induced neuroinflammation was considered to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of depression. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a relatively non-invasive alternative treatment for patients suffering from major depressive disorder. The anti-inflammatory signal of vagus nerve is mediated by α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAchR), and the hippocampus, the region with the most distribution of α7nAchR, regulates emotions. Here, we investigated the role of α7nAchR mediating hippocampal neuroinflammation in taVNS antidepressant effect though homozygous α7nAChR (−/−) gene knockout and α7nAchR antagonist (methyllycaconitine, MLA). Methods There were control, model, taVNS, α7nAChR(−/−) + taVNS, hippocampus (Hi) MLA + taVNS and Hi saline + taVNS groups. We used the chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) method to establish depressive model rats for 42 days, excepting control group. After the successful modeling, except the control and model, the rats in the other groups were given taVNS, which was applied through an electroacupuncture apparatus at the auricular concha (2/15 Hz, 2 mA, 30 min/days) for 21 days. Behavioral tests were conducted at baseline, after modeling and after taVNS intervention, including sucrose preference test (SPT), open field test (OFT) and forced swimming test (FST). These tests are widely used to evaluate depression-like behavior in rats. The samples were taken after experiment, the expressions of α7nAchR, NF-κB p65, IL-1β and the morphology of microglia were detected. Results Depression-like behavior and hippocampal neuroinflammation in CUMS model rats were manifested by down-regulated expression of α7nAchR, up-regulated expression of NF-κB p65 and IL-1β, and the morphology of microglia was in amoebic-like activated state. TaVNS could significantly reverse the above-mentioned phenomena, but had rare improvement effect for α7nAChR(−/−) rats and Hi MLA rats. Conclusion The antidepressant effect of taVNS is related to hippocampal α7nAchR/NF-κB signal pathway.

Abstract
Dendrobium viroid (DVd) was first reported in China in 2020, and it is the only viroid known to infect Orchidaceae family plants. In this study, we developed a simple reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method for the rapid detection of DVd in Dendrobium plants. When extracting the sap template from the leaves, they are first clamped between two layers of plastic film, and the sap is pressed out and collected with a pipette. Using this sap, DVd was detected by dot-blot and RT-PCR methods and, the expected amplicons were confirmed by sequencing analysis. The batch analysis of field samples revealed that this method can be used to detect DVd rapidly. The detection method also reduces cross-contamination between different samples and minimizes false positives. Thus, this sap-direct RT-PCR method allows effective and rapid DVd detection in the study of Orchidaceae plants.

Abstract
In recent years, soil salinization in the Yellow River Delta under the effects of hydrology, climate and human activities have become increasingly prominent. Based on the 20 Landsat series images of Hekou, Kenli, Dongying districts and Lijin County of Dongying City selected from 1985 to 2018, numerical regression correction method was used to perform image spectral consistency conversion. The partial least squares regression method was used to construct quantitative inversion models of soil salt content. The soil salt content of the study area were retrieved by the best salt prediction model. The temporal and spatial characteristics of soil salt changes in the Yellow River Delta were analyzed. The results showed that the soil salt inversion model constructed with 10 sensitive spectral indices performed higher prediction accuracy, with coefficient of determination R2=0.769 and RMSE=1.125 for calibration, R2=0.752 and RMSE=1.203 for validation, and relative prediction deviation (RPD)=2.08. Using the measured soil salt data in 2016 to verify the inversion accuracy of the model, the correlation between the measured value and the inverted value was 0.7279. The model was used to map the soil salinity of the Yellow River Delta based on 20 images from 1985 to 2018. The abnormal soil salinity retrieval values was all less than 10%. During the study period, the soil salinity showed an overall trend of rising first and then falling which was lowest in 1985 (3.14 g·kg-1) and highest in 1995 (5.86 g·kg-1). Spatially, the area of heavily saline soil and saline soil in the study area decreased, and that of mildly and moderately saline soil significantly increased (66.6%). The total area of saline soil showed an increasing trend. The effects of hydrological and climatic conditions on soil salinity exhibited hysteresis. The increases of temperature promoted soil salinity, with the relationship between the soil salinity and the average temperatures in the past six months and one year being significantly correlated (R=0.507 and 0.538). Soil salinity did not correlate with regional precipitation, and was most affected by the Yellow River streamflow in the previous season (R=-0.543).

Abstract
Bumblebees play an important role in maintaining the balance of natural and agricultural ecosystems, and the characteristic gut microbiota of bumblebees exhibit significant mutualistic functions. China has the highest diversity of bumblebees; however, gut microbiota of Chinese bumblebees have mostly been investigated through culture-independent studies. Here, we analyzed the gut communities of bumblebees from Sichuan, Yunnan, and Shaanxi provinces in China through 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon sequencing and bacterial isolation. It revealed that the bumblebees examined in this study harbored two gut enterotypes as previously reported: one is dominated by Gilliamella and Snodgrassella, and the other is distinguished by prevalent environmental species. The gut compositions obviously varied among different individual bees. We then isolated 325 bacterial strains and the comparative genomic analysis of Gilliamella strains revealed that galactose and pectin digestion pathways were conserved in strains from bumblebees, while genes for the utilization of arabinose, mannose, xylose, and rhamnose were mostly lost. Only two strains from the Chinese bumblebees possess the multidrug-resistant gene emrB, which is phylogenetically closely related to that from the symbionts of soil entomopathogenic nematode. In contrast, tetracycline-resistant genes were uniquely present in three strains from the USA. Our results illustrate the prevalence of strain-level variations in the metabolic potentials and the distributions of antibiotic-resistant genes in Chinese bumblebee gut bacteria.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between the total cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) score and retinal vessel diameters in patients with mild stroke. Methods: The patients with mild stroke who were hospitalized in the Second People's Hospital of Changzhou, Nanjing Medical University from March to December 2019 were continuously collected (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score≤3 points). All patients completed the head magnetic resonance imaging and retinal fundus photography examination, and then the retinal arteriovenous diameter was measured semi-automatically based on the pictures. According to the total CSVD score (0-4 points), the patients were divided into 5 groups. The baseline characteristics of the patients were compared. Moreover, the correlation of total CSVD with retinal blood vessel diameters were analyzed by spearman and linear regression. Results: A total of 206 patients were enrolled. There were 69, 51, 41, 30, and 15 patients with 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 points, respectively. In CSVD subgroups, there were significant differences in age, duration of hypertension and diabetes (all P<0.05). The central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE), (CSVD scores 0-4 were (126±12) μm, (118±11) μm, (108±11) μm, (99±8) μm, (90±7) μm, P<0.001) and arteriole-to-venule ratio (AVR) (CSVD scores 0-4 were 0.65±0.05, 0.60±0.04, 0.56±0.04, 0.49±0.03, 0.44±0.02, P<0.001) were different in CSVD subgroups. With the increase of CSVD score, the diameter of artery and AVR became smaller. The total CSVD was significantly correlated with AVR by Spearman correlation analysis (r= 0.818, P<0.001). By constructing a linear regression equation model, the coefficient of determination of the total CSVD score (R2=0.694) was higher than that of lacunes, white matter hyperintensities, cerebral microbleeds and enlarged perivascular space. After adjusting for age, course of hypertension and diabetes, and different types of CSVD, further multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the total CSVD score was still an independent related factor of AVR (β=-0.039, P<0.001, 95%CI=-0.051--0.028). Conclusions: Total CSVD score is negatively correlated with retinal artery diameters and AVR. Additionally, the total CSVD score can better reflect the degree of cerebral microvascular lesions than single type CSVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) on blood glucose regulation and the expression of insulin receptors (INR) of hypothalamus, liver and skeletal muscle tissues in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) rats, so as to reveal its mechanisms underlying improvement of IGT. METHODS Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, model, transcutaneous auricular none-vagus nerve stimulation (tnVNS), and taVNS groups (n=9 in each group). The IGT model was established by feeding the rats with high-fat and high-sugar diet for 5 weeks, and subsequent intraperitoneal injection of a dose of streptozotocin (20 mg/kg). Transcutaneous electrostimulation (2 mA, 2 Hz/15 Hz) was applied to auricular concha (taVNS) or auricular margin (tnVNS), respectively. The treatment was conducted for 30 min once daily for 4 weeks. The body weight, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h plasma glucose (2 h PG) were recorded every week. The contents of plasma insulin (INS), glucagon (GC), glycosylated hemoglobin (GHbA1c) were detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression levels of INR in hypothalamus, liver and skeletal muscle tissues were detected by Western blot. RESULTS After modeling, the rats' body weight, the contents of FPG, 2 h PG, GC and GHbA1c were significantly up-regulated (P<0.001, P<0.05, P<0.01), and the content of INS and expression of INR in hypothalamus, liver and skeletal muscle tissues were significantly down-regulated in the model group compared with the control group (P<0.001, P<0.01, P<0.05). Following the treatment, the increased FPG, 2 h PG, GC, and the decreased INS and INR expression of hypothalamus, liver and skeletal muscle tissues were apparently reversed in the taVNS group relevant to the model group (P<0.001, P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the tnVNS group, the FPG and 2 h PG contents were considerable decreased, and the content of INS and INR expression of hypothalamus and liver were obviously increased in the taVNS group (P<0.001, P<0.05, P<0.01). CONCLUSION taVNS can improve the blood glucose and insulin sensitivity in IGT rats, which may contribute to its effectiveness in up-regulating the expression of INR in hypothalamus, liver and skeletal muscle tissues.

Abstract
We used exogenous GA_3 to break the seed dormancy of Thesium chinense. We used high-throughput sequencing technology was used to sequence the transcriptome of dormant seed embryos and dormancy breaking seed embryos of Th. chinense, and the data was analyzed bioinformatically and systematically. The results showed that exogenous GA_3 could effectively break the seed dormancy of Th. chinense; 73 794 up-regulated genes and 42 776 down regulated genes were obtained by transcriptome sequencing; 116 570 diffe-rential genes were annotated by GO function to GO items such as metabolism process, cell process, cell, cell component, binding and catalytic activity. A total of 133 metabolic pathways were found by Pathway analysis of 26 508 differentially expressed genes. In the process of dormancy release, DEGs were mainly enriched in translation, carbohydrate metabolism, folding, classification, degradation and amino acid metabolism. Based on the annotation results in KEGG database, 20 metabolic pathways related to dormancy release were found. Dormancy release of Th. chinense seeds is a complex biological process, including cell morphology construction, secondary metabolite synthesis, sugar metabolism and plant signal transduction, among which plant hormone signal transduction is one of the key factors to regulate dormancy release. The results of qRT-PCR showed that the sequencing results were consistent with the actual results.

Abstract
The study aims at exploring the expression of differential genes and related metabolic pathways in the process of seed dormancy release. The dormant embryo and the dormant released embryo of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis were used as the test materials, a new generation high-throughput sequencing methods to sequence the transcriptome of the samples was used to carry out systematic bioinformatics analysis. We obtained 62 882 650 and 62 263 366 clean reads from the DNA libraries of the samples before and after dormancy breaking. A total of 69 248 differentially expressed genes(DEGs) were obtained, 56 426 up-regulated genes and 12 822 down-regulated genes. There are 138 267 differentially expressed genes in the process of embryo dormancy release, which were annotated by GO function to 58 subclasses of biological processes, molecular functions and cell components. The annotated differentially expressed genes were closely related to metabolic processes, biological regulation, cell component synthesis and enzyme catalytic activity. We found 139 metabolic pathways through pathway analysis of 58 722 differentially expressed genes. Before and after dormancy, DEGs were mainly enriched in carbon metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis and polysaccharide metabolism. Based on the annotation results in KEGG database, we found 16 metabolic pathways related to the dormancy release of P. polyhoylla var. chinensis. A large number of differentially expressed genes were involved in embryo morphogenesis, polysaccharide decomposition and protein synthesis during seed development and dormancy release. It involves the interaction of multiple metabolic pathways and constitutes a complex regulation network for dormancy relief.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the current situation of researches on auricular acupuncture treatment for obesity by using bibliometric analysis, so as to provide a reference for clinical application and experimental research in the future. METHODS Articles written in both Chinese and English and published from the time of establishment of the following databases were collected from databases of CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed and Web of Science by using key words of "otopoint sticking" "otopoint seed-pres-sing" "auriculotherapy" "ear/auricular acupuncture" "auricular pressure" "auricular-plaster therapy" "acupuncture and auricular pressure" "auriculopressure" "transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS)" "obesity" "adiposity" "adiposis" and "fatty". The articles met our inclusive criteria were analyzed for summarizing their publication years, involved journals, research organizations and selected acupoints. RESULTS A total of 61 qualified Chinese and 44 English articles were retrieved and published in 45 and 25 journals, respectively. The commonly-used acupoints are "Endocrine" "Stomach" "Spleen" "Shenmen" "Hunger point" "Sanjiao" "Lung" and "Subcortex". The employed auricular acupoint therapy mainly includes auricular acupressure, ear acupuncture, auricular vagus nerve stimulation, and auricular laser radiation. CONCLUSION Current clinical literature on auricular acupuncture treatment of obesity is relatively lower in quality. Thus, strict research protocols and randomized controlled clinical trials with multiple centers and larger samples are definitely necessary for providing reliable evidence for clinical treatment of obesity by using auricular acupuncture therapy.

Abstract
From November to December of 2018, twenty 65-year-old or older women patients with knee osteoarthritis were recruited from the Department of Physical Therapy, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Meanwhile, twenty healthy 65-year-old or older women were recruited from the local community. The results showed that the knee contact angle of the patient group was more flexed (P=0.040), and the minimum angle of the knee joint increased (P=0.008) during the stance period compared to the healthy group. However, there was no significant difference in the maximum contact angle between the angle of hip and ankle joints. In addition, the tibialis anterior muscle of the patients was significantly smaller than the healthy group (P=0.023). Therefore, knee osteoarthritis could change the gait and muscle activity of older women, especially the knee joint.

Abstract
Several experimental studies have proved that activation of neuroinflammation pathways may contribute to the development of depression, a neuropsychiatric disorder disease. Our previous studies have shown the antidepressant properties of apelin, but the mechanism was unkown. This study was performed to verify whether the antidepressant effect of apelin was related to its anti-inflammation effect in the central nervous system. To achieve our aim, we selected the co-treatment of chronic stress and LPS to induced an inflammatory process in rats. The effect of this co-treatment was evaluated through the expression of inflammatory markers and glial cell activation. LPS injection co-treated with unpredictable chronic mild stress resulted in the activation of microglial cell and astrocyte, expression of inflammatory markers and depressive behaviors. Treatment with apelin significantly attenuates the deleterious effects in these rats. Our results showed that apelin improved depressive phenotype and decreased the activation of glial cells in stress co-treatment group. The down-regulations of p-NF-κB and p-IKKβ suggested that the effects are possibly mediated by inhibition of the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response. These findings speculated that intracerebroventricular injection of apelin could be a therapeutic approach for the treatment of depression, and the antidepressant function of apelin may closely associated with its alleviation in neuroinflammation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI)-guided fluid resuscitation on the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure and septic shock. Methods: This study was a prospective randomized controlled study. Consecutive eligible patients were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method: control group (n=21) and experimental group (n=20). On the basis of routine treatment, patients in the control group received early goal-directed therapy until the central venous pressure (CVP) reaching 8-12 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), mean arterial pressure reaching over 65 mmHg, urine volume reaching over 0.5 ml·kg(-1)·h(-1), and central venous oxygen saturation reaching more than 70%. On the basis of routine treatment, patients in the experimental group were monitored continuously on cardiac output with pulse indication and fluid resuscitation guided by volume index GEDI. The GEDI should be maintained on the range of 680-800 ml/m(2). The remaining resuscitation goals were the same as control group. General clinical data of the two groups were collected at admission. Negative fluid balance onset time, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU mortality and 28-day mortality were compared between the two groups. The outcomes were recorded as listed: start time of negative fluid balance, duration of mechanical ventilation, mortality in ICU and 28-day mortality. Results: There was no significant difference in age, sex, weight, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score and NYHA functional class score between the two groups (all P>0.05). The negative liquid balance onset time in the control group was 3.5 (2.5, 4.0) days, which was significantly longer than that in the experimental group (2.6 (2.0, 3.0) days,U=115.0, P=0.012). The duration of mechanical ventilation was 355 (118, 552) hours in the control group, which was significantly longer than that in the experimental group (132 (36.75, 233.3) hours, U=130, P=0.038). The ICU mortality was 38.1% (8/21) in the control group, tended to be higher than that in the experimental group (20.0%(4/20), χ(2)=1.620, P=0.203). The 28-day mortality was 42.9% (9/21) in the control group, similar as in the experimental group (25.0%(5/20), χ(2)=1.482,P=0.477). Conclusion: Fluid resuscitation guided by volume index (GEDI) may improve the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure complicated with septic shock.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients undergoing flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Methods: The clinical data of 243 kidney stone cases who underwent flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy based on ERAS in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 2016 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The cases were divided into two groups according to whether they had SIRS after surgery: SIRS group (26 cases) and non-SIRS group (217 cases). The age, gender, laterality of kidney stone, history of previous kidney stone surgery, degree of hydronephrosis, multiple kidney stones, length of operation time, white blood cell count of preoperative urine routine, result of preoperative urine culture, use of preoperative antibiotics, diabetes and other chronic diseases in the groups were collected and analyzed. Results: SIRS occurred in 26 cases in this study, which accounted for 10.7% (26/243). Multivariate analysis found that, moderate and severe hydronephrosis (OR=6.711, P=0.008), stone burden ≥2 cm (OR=10.353, P<0.001), length of operation time ≥ 60 min (OR=5.583, P=0.011), white blood cell count of preoperative urine routine ≥25×10(6)/L (OR=6.195, P=0.005), positive preoperative urine culture (OR=4.216, P=0.011), diabetes and other chronic diseases (OR=4.532, P=0.006) were the independent risk factors for postoperative SIRS (P<0.05). Conclusions: The occurrence of SIRS after flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy based on ERAS is closely correlated with hydronephrosis, stone burden, length of operation time, white blood cell count of preoperative urine routine, positive preoperative urine culture, diabetes and other chronic diseases.

Abstract
Objective:To remove the immune function of children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome by resection of adenoids and tonsillar. Method: The fasting peripheral venous blood of children with OSAHS and healthy children were collected. The lymphocyte subsets, NK cells and immunoglobulin levels were compared between the two groups. The fasting blood samples of OSAHS children were collected again after 2d, 30d, 60d and 90d after operation. The changes of lymphocyte subsets, NK cells and immunoglobulin levels were observed after operation. Result: Before operation, at the 0.05 test level, it was not yet clear that the levels of IgG, IgM, IgA, NK, CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ in OSAHS children were significantly different from those in the control group. The levels of IgA, CD3+ and CD4+ decreased significantly in children at 2d and OSAHS after operation, and IgG, IgM, IgA, NK, CD3+ and IgA continued to rise after 60d until ninetieth day after operation. Conclusion: There is no statistical disorder of immune level in children with OSAHS compared with healthy children. The implementation of adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy in children with OSAHS, the level of immunity in 90 days can be restored to the preoperative level.

Abstract
The dissipation of triforine in the immature and mature fruit periods was investigated under field conditions. Residue levels of triforine in watermelon were determined by gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD). The decline curves of triforine residues in the watermelon corresponded with first-order kinetics. The half-lives of triforine in Dark Belle and Shiny Boy were 2.10-2.57 days and 2.31-2.67 days respectively. Meanwhile, the half-lives of triforine in the immature and mature fruit periods were 1.69-2.04 days and 2.89-3.85 days, respectively. In the terminal residue experiment, the terminal residues of triforine in the watermelon flesh and peel were below 0.01 mg/kg to 0.05 mg/kg and 0.03 mg/kg to 0.36 mg/kg, respectively. The dissipation rates of triforine varied in different cultivars of watermelon, and even in the same cultivar, the half-lives of triforine significantly varied in the different fruit periods. Although triforine is a fungicide within the suction, the terminal residues in the peel and flesh were very significant.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of whole liver CT perfusion imaging in the quantitative evaluation of hemodynamic changes before and after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods: Twenty-six patients with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent TACE therapies were recruited. Whole -liver computed tomographic perfusion imaging (CTPI) was performed 2~3 days before TACE and 1 month after TACE. We measured the following perfusion parameters: hepatic arterial perfusion (HAP), portal venous perfusion (PVP), total liver perfusion (TLP), hepatic arterial perfusion index (HAPI), and time-to-peak (TTP).The F-test, t-test and Rank sum test were used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 34 HCC lesions were detected. According to the deposition of lipiodol after TACE, they were divided into a lipiodol dense group (21) and a lipiodol light group (13). The length of hepatocellular carcinoma lesions after TACE showed a decreasing trend compared with preoperative TACE. The lesions in the lipiodol dense group had smaller lesions than those in the lipiodol light group. The preoperative and postoperative longitudinal diameters were (3.12 ± 0.58) cm vs. (1.93 ± 0.79) cm, (2.98 ± 2.01) cm vs. (2.58 ± 2.00) cm, the differences were statistically significant (t = 15.1, 8.65, P < 0.05). The preoperative HAP and HPI of the lipiodol dense group were the highest, and the peritumoral within 1cm was higher than that of the surrounding liver parenchyma. The PVP, TLP, and TTP were highest in the surrounding of liver parenchyma, and 1 cm higher than the tumor area in the background. The corresponding perfusion parameters were statistically significant (P < 0.05); HAP and HPI were 1 cm higher than the surrounding liver parenchyma. After the operation, PVP, TLP and TTP were lower than the background liver parenchyma, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); HAP and HPI decreased by 1 cm after the operation, and the PVP, TLP, and TTP increased. There was no significant difference after operation in the blood perfusion of background liver parenchyma (P ˃ 0.05). The HAP and HPI decreased, and the PVP and TTP increased in the lipiodol light group after operation (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the other two regions (P ˃ 0.05). Conclusion: There was no blood perfusion in the lipiodol deposition area after TACE. The perfusion volume of hepatic artery in the peritumoral 1 cm and lipiodol light group decreased and the portal venous perfusion increased. CTPI can quantitatively evaluate blood perfusion state, which is of great significance for the determination of treatment plans before TACE treatment to assume the postoperative therapeutic effect in liver cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of RESOLVE DWI in the evaluation of benign and malignant epithelial tumors of parotid gland. Methods: A total of 106 patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University with epithelial tumors of parotid gland confirmed by pathology from July 2015 to October 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent preoperative routine MRI and RESOLVE DWI, the ADC average values were calculated, t test were used to compare the ADC values of benign and malignant epithelial tumors of parotid gland. Diagnostic performance of ADC value was compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curves. Results: All lesions were solitary, including 69 benign epithelial tumors and 37 malignant epithelial tumors. The mean ADC values of pleomorphic adenoma and basal cell adenoma, adenolymphoma and malignant epithelial tumors were (1.47±0.16)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, (0.83±0.19)×10(-3) mm(2)/s and(1.14±0.14)×10(-3) mm(2)/s, the mean ADC value of adenolymphoma lower than the rest of the two groups, there were statistically significant differences among them (P<0.05). Using 0.94×10(-3) mm(2)/s≤ADC value≤1.28×10(-3)mm(2)/s as the critical value for diagnosing malignant epithelial tumors of parotid gland and comparing with pathological results, the result obtained had a sensitivity of 81.1%, specificity of 88.9%. ADC value had high correlations compared with pathological results, kappa value was 0.600. Conclusion: RESOLVE DWI can be applied in differential diagnosis between benign and malignant epithelial tumors of parotid gland.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of intravenous thrombolysis on prognosis of acute ischemic stroke in patients with moderate to severe leukoaraiosis and to analyze influencing factors of the clinical prognosis. Methods: We consecutively included acute ischemic stroke patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion (n=101) from Department of Neurology or Emergency, and patients were divided into two groups according to whether on intravenous thrombolysis therapy (IVT) or not. The Fugl-Meyer scale score (FMS) was used to assess motor function outcome and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was used to assess neurologic function. Clinical data were obtained and compared between the two groups. Patients were followed up for 90 days, the primary clinical endpoint events included stroke recurrence and death, and the key secondary endpoint events included other vascular events after IVT. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the relevant factors influencing the motor function 90 days later. Results: Among the 101 enrolled patients, 37 (36.6%) were classified as IVT group and 64 (63.4%) as no IVT group. In IVT group, hemorrhagic transformation and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage were observed in 32.4% (12/37) and 13.5% (5/37) of the patients, which were higher than those in the no IVT group (9.4% (6/64) and 1.6% (1/64) , respectively) (χ(2)=8.511, P=0.004; χ(2)=5.993, P=0.014). And there was no significant difference between the two groups in NIHSS score and FMS score at any time point. In addition, there was no significant increase in 90-day FMS score in the two groups compared with the FMS score on admission (83±9 vs 80±12; 86±8 vs 80±10). After followed up for 90 days, the primary clinical endpoints were obtained in 32 patients (32/101; 31.9%), including 18 cases of stroke recurrence (18/101; 17.8%) and 14 cases of death (14/101; 13.9%). No significant difference was found in primary clinical endpoints between the two groups. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (t=-2.318; P=0.023), baseline NIHSS score (t=-4.263; P=0.000), recurrent stroke (t=-9.114; P=0.000) and hemorrhage transformation (t=-2.121; P=0.037) were risk factors of poor 90-day motor function recovery, but not application of intravenous thrombolysis therapy (t=0.328; P=0.744). Conclusions: Acute ischemic stroke patients with moderate to severe LA have higher risk of hemorrhagic transformation and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after intravenous thrombolysis. However, there is no association of intravenous thrombolysis therapy with motor function recovery.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the different pattern of neck lymph node metastasis, the choice of surgical methods and prognosis in early tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A total of 157 patients with early oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma were included in this study. Statistical analysis was performed to identify the pattern of lymph node metastasis, to determine the best surgical procedure and to analyze the prognosis. Results: The occurrence of cervical lymph node metastasis rate was 31%(48/157). Neck lymphatic metastasis was significantly related to tumor size (P=0.026) and histology differentiation type (P=0.022). The rate of metastasis was highest in level Ⅱ [33% (16/48)]. In level Ⅳ, the incidence of lymph node metastasis was 5%(7/157), and there was no skip metastases. The possibility of level Ⅳ metastasis was higher, when level Ⅱ (P=0.000) or Ⅲ (P=0.000) involved. The differentiation tumor recurrence, neck lymphatic metastasis and adjuvant radiotherapy were prognostic factors (P<0.05). Multivariate analyses revealed histology differentiation type, neck lymphatic metastases and adjuvant radiotherapy were the independent prognostic factors. Conclusions: Neck lymphatic metastasis rate is high in early tongue squamous cell carcinoma, simultaneous glossectomy and neck dissection should be performed. Level Ⅳ metastasis rate is extremely low, so supraomohyoid neck dissection is sufficient for most of the time. The histology differentiation type, neck lymphatic metastasis and adjuvant radiotherapy are independent prognostic factors.

Abstract
The single application of 0.5 % clothianidin granules, a novel formulation, was used to control pests in vegetables under a high dose. In this article, residues of clothianidin in cabbage and soil samples under field conditions from Guangzhou, Nanning, and Qianjiang were determined by HPLC. The terminal residues of clothianidin in cabbage were less than the limit of detection (<LOD) at pre-harvest intervals of 30 days, and these values were lower than the maximum residue limit of 0.2 mg kg-1 in cabbage set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. To test on the influence of the pesticide fertilizers' effect on clothianidin residual, clothianidin granules and fertilizers of chicken manure, urea, and organic fertilizer were mixed into different pesticide fertilizers through their normal field using dosage and evaluate residual influence of clothianidin in different formula. After analysis of variance of the effect factors, the effect of different pesticide types on half-life was not significant, but the effect of sample types was significant. Clothianidin granules and pesticide fertilizers could be safely applied in cabbage under a single high-dose administration.

Abstract
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition due to compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel. Few studies have been carried out to examine the effectiveness of mini-open technique for carpal tunnel release using minor wrist skin crease incision in patients with mild CTS. Therefore, the present study was designed to improve the neurophysiological parameters for the diagnosis of mild CTS, and to examine the effectiveness of small incision surgery for the clinical treatment of mild CTS. To this end, we applied the electrophysiological diagnosis of difference between median and ulnar palmar latencies (PMPU) and the difference of median and ulnar latencies from D4 stimulation (D4MD4U) in 80 patients with mild CTS, whom were diagnosed by hand surgeon at the First Hospital of Jilin University. Those patients showed normal in median nerve electrophysiological examination, and received minor wrist skin crease incision surgery. All patients were followed up and received electromyography (EMG) examination. We showed that D4MD4U and PMPU methods are sensitive diagnosis methods for mild CTS, and mini-open wrist crease incision is beneficial for the treatment of mild CTS in clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnostic and treatment delays increase the severity and transmission of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). This study aimed to evaluate TB diagnostic and treatment delays in acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear-negative patients. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study. Patients with positive AFB culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) were selected from among hospitalised patients with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Admission ward, anti-tuberculosis treatment and the duration of AFB culture were compared between smear-positive and smear-negative patients. RESULTS Of the 70 patients with positive isolation of MTC in AFB culture, 27 (38.5%) were smear-negative; of these, 18 (66.7%) were not isolated while in hospital, and 17 (63%) were neither diagnosed nor treated for TB. In contrast, 41 of the 43 smear-positive patients (95.3%) were directly admitted or quickly transferred to the isolation room and started on anti-tuberculosis treatment (P < 0.001). Samples from smear-negative patients required more time to grow MTC in AFB culture than those of smear-positive patients (23 days vs. 14 days, P < 0.001). Diabetes was significantly associated with AFB smear positivity, with an odds ratio of 12.2. CONCLUSIONS Negative AFB smears caused significant diagnostic and treatment delay. Patients staying in the general ward were exposed to TB patients who were not diagnosed in time.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the genetic cause for a family with multiorgan dysplasia and "molar tooth sign" on MRI image. Method: The patient, a 3 months and 21 days old boy, was clinically examined and the medical history of his family was collected. Next generation sequencing was performed to analyze his clinical and genetic causes. Result: Clinical manifestation of the child displayed multiorgan dysplasia, such as six finger deformity, short limbs, coloboma of optic disc and choroid, situs inversus.Cranial MRI showed "molar tooth sign" . The gene sequencing confirmed that the child carried a de novo deletion of c. 2843_2844 delAA in OFD1 gene. Conclusion: The child has typical clinical features of Joubert syndrome, such as MRI "molar syndrome" , developmental abnormalities of ocular tissue and limb, visceral inversion, and so on.The OFD1 gene had a novel deletion mutation through gene detection. Combined clinical features with gene detection, it was clear that the child was a rare case of Joubert syndrome type 10 which was the first case of Joubert syndrome caused by OFD1 gene mutation in China.

Abstract
Temporary strict emission control strategies were conducted to ensure good air quality for China's V-Day parade (August 20-September 3, 2015) in Beijing and nearby cities. The influence of the emission control on particle number size distribution (PNSD) was evaluated based on the long-term measurements of PNSD at a rural site (Shangdianzi) located northeast of Beijing. This study also presented the comparison results of PNSD during the parade in 2015 and the Olympics in 2008 (August 8-23), as well as the same period without strict emission control in 2010-2013 (August 20-September 3). Compared with the same period in 2010-2013 and 2008 Olympics, the accumulation mode particle number concentration showed a significant reduction in 2015, and the PM1 mass concentration decreased by approximately 60-90%. The alleviation of the PM1 was also associated with the weather conditions. The back trajectories analysis results showed that the southerly air mass passing through the polluted areas accounted for 14% of the total back trajectories in 2015, which contributed to approximately 60% in the other years. During the control period in 2015, there were six new particle formation (NPF) events observed, with a higher frequency, but a lower formation rate and growth rate than the same period in 2010-2013. The comparison of the condensation sink (CS), sulfuric acid, solar radiation and relative humidity among the different years indicated that at Shangdianzi station, the first factor in determining the NPF occurrence was the CS, and the second factor could be the concentration level of precursor vapors participating in the NPF event (e.g., sulfuric acid).
