Abstract
Background To date, 10 species of the genus Microhyla have been recorded in China, of which six were distributed in Yunnan Province. Microhylahmongorum Hoang, Nguyen, Phan, Pham, Ninh, Wang, Jiang, Ziegler, and Nguyen, 2022 was also speculated to be distributed in Xishuangbana, Yunnan Province, China. However, there is no evidence of documentation of M.hmongorum. New information We report the first country record of Microhylahmongorum, based on specimens collected from Yunnan border region. Morphologically, the specimen was consistent with the original descriptions of M.hmongorum. Phylogenetically, the sequences of the specimens from China clustered with the sequence of type specimens of M.hmongorum from Vietnam, with uncorrected pairwise distances of 0.9% at the 16S gene fragment analysed. Therefore, we report M.hmongorum as a new record species in China.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax (VEN) combined with azacitidine (AZA) versus CAG regimen combined with decitabine (DAC) in elderly patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods: From January 2018 to August 2020, the clinical data of forty-five elderly patients with relapse AML at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed, including 31 males and 14 females. The median age was 66 (60-80) years old. Eighteen patients were administrated with VEN and AZA, while the other 27 were in CAG with DAC. The complete remission (CR) rate, partial remission (PR) rate, total remission rate (ORR), adverse events and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups. Results: At the end of the treatment, the ORR in VEN with AZA group was 77.8% (14/18); including 11 CR and 3 PR. In CAG with DAC group, the ORR was 37.0% (10/27); including 8 CR and 2 PR (P=0.007). Subgroup analysis suggested that VEN with AZA had a higher ORR in patients stratified as intermediate and poor-risk (P=0.013) or with DNA methylation mutations (P=0.007). Main adverse events in both groups were bone marrow suppression, infections, nausea and vomiting, anorexia and fatigue. Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ cytopenia developed in lower incidence of VEN with AZA group, such as leukopenia (66.7% vs. 100%, P=0.002), anemia (50.0% vs. 92.6%, P=0.002), thrombocytopenia (72.2% vs. 96.3%, P=0.031) and neutropenia (61.1% vs. 92.6%, P=0.014). In addition, less grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ infections occurred in VEN with AZA group (66.7% vs. 33.3%, P=0.028), as well as grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ gastrointestinal events (40.7% vs. 11.1%, P=0.032), grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ fatigue (55.6% vs.11.1%, P=0.003) compared with CAG with DAC group. The 1-year OS in VEN with AZA group versus CAG with DAC group was 42.9% and 31.6% respectively (P=0.150). Conclusion: VEN combined with AZA proves favorable efficacy and tolerablity in elderly patients with relapsed AML.

Abstract
Effective conservation of threatened biota relies on accurate assessments and scientific guidance. As an unfortunate example, Chinese giant salamanders (Andrias, CGS) remain critically endangered in nature. Misguided conservation efforts, e.g., commercial propagation and releasing of millions of likely non-indigenous or interspecific hybrids, have further compromised conservation initiatives. Limited information on wild populations of CGS poses a significant conservation challenge. Following 18-month long field monitoring, we now report the discovery of a wild population of CGS in a closed nature reserve in Jiangxi Province, China. Genomic assessments reveal its genetic distinctiveness and do not detect genetic admixture with other species. Based on morphological and molecular evidences, we describe this CGS as a new species Andrias jiangxiensissp. nov. This is the only known species of CGS today with a genetically pure, reproducing, in situ population. This discovery emphasizes the important role that closed nature reserves play in protecting species, and the necessity of integrating long-term field monitoring and genetic assessments. It sets a new pathway for discovering and conserving endangered species, especially for those biotas that are similarly being extirpated by anthropogenic translocations and overexploitation.

Abstract
The Himalaya are among the youngest and highest mountains in the world, but the exact timing of their uplift and origins of their biodiversity are still in debate. The Himalayan region is a relatively small area but with exceptional diversity and endemism. One common hypothesis to explain the rich montane diversity is uplift-driven diversification-that orogeny creates conditions favoring rapid in situ speciation of resident lineages. We test this hypothesis in the Himalayan region using amphibians and reptiles, two environmentally sensitive vertebrate groups. In addition, analysis of diversification of the herpetofauna provides an independent source of information to test competing geological hypotheses of Himalayan orogenesis. We conclude that the origins of the Himalayan herpetofauna date to the early Paleocene, but that diversification of most groups was concentrated in the Miocene. There was an increase in both rates and modes of diversification during the early to middle Miocene, together with regional interchange (dispersal) between the Himalaya and adjacent regions. Our analyses support a recently proposed stepwise geological model of Himalayan uplift beginning in the Paleocene, with a subsequent rapid increase of uplifting during the Miocene, finally giving rise to the intensification of the modern South Asian Monsoon.

Abstract
This study investigated the combined efficacy of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) and UV light (UV) in improving egg internal quality (weight loss, Haugh unit, yolk index, albumen pH) over a 6-wk storage time at 25°C. Eggs were preserved after immersion for 4 min in SAEW (30 mg/L), irradiation for 4 min under a UV lamp, or a combination of SAEW and UV treatment for 4 min. The combination of SAEW and UV inhibited the deterioration of yolk index over the storage period, as well as reducing the extent of decrease in Haugh unit and of weight loss during storage at 25°C, and it was more effective than SAEW or UV alone in maintaining egg internal quality (P < 0.05). The results highlight the promising use of a SAEW and UV combination treatment to improve egg internal quality during storage.

Abstract
We conducted a case-control study to investigate the possible association between three common single nucleotide polymorphisms in interleukin-10 (IL-10) and the development of acute pancreatitis in a Chinese population. Between January 2013 and December 2014, 255 patients with acute pancreatitis and 255 control subjects were recruited for the study. Genotyping of IL-10 rs1800896, rs1800871, and rs1800872 was performed using polymerase chain reaction coupled with restriction fragment length polymorphism. Using logistic regression analysis, we found that the AA genotype of IL-10 rs1800896 was correlated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis in a codominant model (OR = 2.44, 95%CI = 1.28-4.77). In a dominant model, we found that the GA+AA genotype of IL-10 rs1800896 was associated with an elevated risk of acute pancreatitis (OR = 1.51, 95%CI = 1.05-2.18). In a recessive model, the AA genotype of IL-10 rs1800896 was correlated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis (OR = 1.98, 95%CI = 1.06-3.77). In conclusion, IL-10 rs1800896 was correlated with an increased risk of acute pancreatitis in codominant, dominant, and recessive models.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Surgery is still the main curative therapeutic modality for breast cancer. Although surgery often results in the successful removal of the primary tumor, its process could increase the risk of metastases of residual cancer cells. Understanding of the connection between breast cancer metastasis and surgical wound will lead to the establishment of a proper treatment strategy for postoperative cancer patient. AIM To study the influence of surgical procedure on the metastasis of primary breast cancer. METHODS We established MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer xenograft model. Levels of Pro-matrix metalloproteinase 9 (Pro-MMP-9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in host serum and tumors were tested at different time points with ELISA and zymography and correlated to tumor growth and postoperative metastasis. RESULTS Our study demonstrated surgical wound had promoting effect on tumor growth and pulmonary metastasis of human breast cells, if tumor cells remain in bodies. This effect might be related to the postoperative interaction of cancer and host cells, which resulted in expression of Pro-MMP-9. Surgical process could also increase the VEGF expression in tumor tissues. CONCLUSIONS Surgical wound-produced host Pro-MMP-9 and tumor cell VEGF might be important mediators leading to metastasis of residual breast cancer after surgery.

Abstract
A single nucleotide polymorphism, - 160C-->A, has been identified in the promoter region of the E-cadherin gene and has been shown to alter its transcriptional activity. To assess susceptibility of -160A allele carriers to seven types of cancers, the authors conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis, up to November 2006, of 26 case-control studies comprising 7,042 cases and 7,011 controls. Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by using the random-effects model. Publication bias, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses were also performed, which showed that -160A allele carriers, compared with noncarriers, had about a 17-19% increased risk of several invasive/metastatic tumors. Analyses of various types of cancers revealed that, in Europeans, the -160AA homozygote was associated with an increased risk of urothelial cancer, carriers of -160A were at increased risk of lung and prostate cancers, and carriers of -160A with gastric cancer were found to suffer a significantly increased risk, whereas their Asian counterparts seemed to be tolerant. No evidence was found that the -160A allele predisposed its carriers to breast, colorectal, or esophageal cancers. These findings indicate that -160A of the E-cadherin gene is emerging as a low-penetrance tumor susceptibility allele for the development of gastric, lung, prostate, and urothelial cancers.

Abstract
Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene transforming growth factor beta (TGFB) Type II receptor (TGFBR2) are frequently found in many cancers with microsatellite instability, but are less common in lung cancer. In the present study, we looked for mutations in TGFBR2 in nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells and tissues. A novel homozygous microdeletion (c.492_507del) was identified in two cell lines derived from the same giant cell carcinoma (GCC) and was confirmed in the corresponding tumor tissues. Furthermore, a heterozygous c.492_507del was found in the germ-line of one patient, as well as in the other GCC cases and some large cell carcinomas (LCC) but not in other subtypes of NSCLC. The 16 bp-microdeletion introduced a premature stop codon at positions 590-592 of the cDNA, resulting in a truncated TGFBR2 protein with a mutated transmembrane domain and loss of kinase domain. The GCC cells were characterized as being unresponsive to TGFB induction both in growth inhibition and stimulation of extracellular matrix protein. Moreover, after the reconstitution of wild-type TGFBR2 expression, the sensitivity to TGFB was restored. Therefore, mutated TGFBR2 seems to play an important role in the abrogation of TGFB signal transduction in GCC cells.

Abstract
The present study was designed to assess whether changes in glycolipids and cyclic AMP contents might serve as markers for the diagnosis of malignancy in the liver. The experimental model was a transplantable murine hepatoma. Experimental mice were divided into three groups: (1) a therapeutic group, which had been transplanted with hepatoma and treated with the antimetabolism drug 5-fluorouracil (0.2 mg/day i.p.), (2) a control group, which had been transplanted with hepatoma and treated with 0.2 ml 0.9% NaCl/day and (3) a normal group of mice. The ganglioside and cAMP contents in the hepatoma tissue, plasma cAMP, total- and lipid-bound sialic acid levels and red blood cell membrane sialic acid levels were determined. Results showed that the ganglioside content, total and lipid-bound sialic acid levels in the control group were significantly higher than those in the livers of normal mice (p < 0.01) while these respective values in the therapeutic group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.01). The cAMP levels of tumor tissues and plasma in the control group were lower than those in normal mice. No significant difference in red blood cell membrane sialic acid content was observed between the therapeutic and control groups though levels for both were higher than those in normal mice. These results indicate that ganglioside content and sialic acid levels in hepatoma tissues were significantly elevated, and cAMP levels in hepatoma tissues were significantly decreased during proliferation and abnormal differentiation.

Abstract
A micronutrient-fortified rusk for weanling children was tested in a rural area near Beijing. Two hundred twenty-six children aged 6-13 mo were randomly assigned by village to either a micronutrient-fortified or an unfortified rusk, daily for 3 mo. The fortified rusk contained extra zinc; iron; calcium; vitamins A, D, and B-12; thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid. Infants receiving the fortified rusk exhibited no decline in hemoglobin concentrations during the study whereas those receiving the unfortified rusk exhibited a significant decline. Improvements were also seen in erythrocyte porphyrin, plasma vitamin A, and riboflavin status, but these improvements were seen in both of the groups. Micronutrient fortification was probably beneficial for iron status and the fortified rusk promises to be an effective vehicle for supplementation.

Abstract
The distribution of plasmalogenase for the hydrolysis of 1-alkenyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (plasmenylethanolamine) in the subcellular fractions of guinea pig tissues was examined. Plasmalogenase activity was found in high abundance in the cytosolic fractions of the brain and the heart. Assessment of microsomal marker enzyme activities in the cytosolic fraction revealed that plasmalogenase activity in the cytosol was not due to microsomal contaminations. The characteristics of the cytosolic plasmalogenase were very similar to the microsomal enzyme with respect to the pH profile of the reaction, the presence of divalent cations and Km values for plasmenylethanolamine. However, the cytosolic enzyme was slightly less stable at 55 degrees C than the microsomal enzyme. Cytosolic enzyme activity was eluted as a broad peak in Sepharose 6B chromatography with an average molecular weight of 250,000. Our results demonstrate that most of brain plasmalogenase activity is soluble which makes the brain cytosol an excellent source to initiate the purification of this enzyme.

Abstract
An epidemiological comparative study on dietary patterns and population means of blood pressure was undertaken in 10 groups (3 of workers, 6 of farmers, 1 of fishermen) of adult males and females of northeast, north, south, middle and east China. Standardized methods and record forms were used for blood pressure measurements and 24-hr dietary recall interviews. Simple correlation and linear regression, multiple regression (adjusted for age, sex and body mass index) and ridge regression were used to analyze the relationship of dietary electrolytes and animal protein to blood pressure. The results show a significant negative association of mean daily intake of Ca and animal protein with population mean blood pressure. Excluding the fishermen's group, mean daily intake of Na showed significant positive association with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The Chinese diet should probably be improved, increasing Ca and animal protein and cutting salt to a much lower level.
