Abstract
Background Cough is one of the most common complications following intravenous administration of sufentanil during anesthesia induction. The study aimed to investigate the protective effect of alfentanil, afentanyl derivative with short onset time and short duration, in reducing sufentanil-induced cough. Patients and methods Eighty patients that scheduled for thyroid surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the alfentanil group and normal saline group, with 40 cases per group. Patients in the alfentanil group received intravenous administration of 2 μg/kg alfentanil prior to sufentanil injection during general anesthesia induction, while the same dose of normal saline was administered in the normal saline group. The outcomes measures included the incidence and severity of cough and common side effects of opioids following the administration of sufentanil during the induction of general anesthesia, intraoperative hemodynamics parameters and major adverse events during anesthesia recovery period. Results The incidence of cough within one minute after the injection of sufentanil during anesthesia induction was 40% in the normal saline group, and the pretreatment of alfentanil significantly reduced the incidence of sufentanil-induced cough to 5% (p < 0.05). Correspondingly, the patients in the alfentanil group had decreased severity of sufentanil-induced cough compared with the normal saline group (p < 0.05). No significant differences in the incidences of common side effects of opioids (dizziness, nausea and vomiting, chest tightness and respiratory depression) within one minute after sufentanil injection were found (p > 0.05). Furthermore, there were no significant differences between the two groups in intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, extubation time, or the incidences of emergence agitation, respiratory depression, delayed recovery from anesthesia and postoperative nausea and vomiting during Postanesthesia Care Unit stay (p > 0.05). Conclusion Pretreatment with low-dose alfentanil (2 μg/kg) effectively and safely reduced both the incidence and severity of sufentanil-induced cough during anesthesia induction. Clinical Trial Registration Number Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (identifier: ChiCTR2300069286).

Abstract
Polysaccharides from natural sources have an excellent immune function and low toxicity; however, their limitations such as short half-life and instability limit their sustained pharmacological activity. In this context, the combination of polysaccharides and nanotechnology have been developed to promote the stability and prolong the immune activities of polysaccharides. To synthesize and explore the antitumor effect and immunomodulatory activity of PHP-AuNPs. Polysaccharides extracted from Pseudostellaria heterophylla were used to synthesize gold nanocomposites (PHP-AuNPs), and their physicochemical properties and immunoregulatory effect in vitro and in vivo were analyzed. The PHP-AuNPs were green synthesized with high biosafety. PHP-AuNPs can activate macrophages in vitro and decrease the tumor weight and volume, whereas they increase the immune organ index in vivo. Besides, PHP-AuNPs showed a beneficial effect for maintaining the immune balance of CD4+ /CD8+ T cells and modulating the release of cytokines such as TNF-α increase and IL-10 decrease in mice. All these results suggested that PHP-AuNPs exhibit a remarkable antitumor effect and stronger immunomodulatory activity than that of free PHP-1. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: The P. heterophylla polysaccharide-gold nanocomposites (PHP-AuNPs) were synthesized and physicochemical properties were characterized. The cytotoxicity in vitro and immunomodulatory effects of PHP-AuNPs on macrophages were analyzed. The immune-antitumor effects in vivo of PHP-AuNPs have also been confirmed.

Abstract
Purpose This study was performed to evaluate the effects of intraoperative intravenous lidocaine on postoperative delirium in elderly patients with hip fracture. Patients and methods In total, 100 elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery were randomized to the lidocaine group (Group L) or saline (control) group (Group C). Before anesthetic induction, Group L received lidocaine at 1 mg/kg for more than 10 minutes followed by continuous infusion at 1.5 mg/kg/h until the end of surgery. Group C received normal saline, and the injection methods were consistent with those in Group L. General anesthesia was induced with propofol, sufentanil, and cis-atracurium. Anesthesia was maintained by propofol and remifentanil. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative delirium in the first 7 postoperative days. The secondary outcomes included the severity of delirium, onset and duration of delirium, emergence agitation, adverse events, total propofol dose, intraoperative opioid dosage, length of post-anesthesia care unit stay, extubation time, and patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management. Results All 100 patients completed the study. The incidence of postoperative delirium was lower in Group L than in Group C (14% vs 36%, P = 0.011). The delirium severity scores were lower in Group L (3 [3-4]) than in Group C (4 [4-5]) (P = 0.017). In addition, the incidences of hypertension, tachycardia, and emergence agitation were significantly lower in Group L than in Group C. No cases of local anesthetic toxicity occurred in either group. Conclusion Patients received lidocaine at 1 mg/kg for more than 10 minutes followed by continuous infusion at 1.5 mg/kg/h until the end of surgery, which can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture. In addition, the used regimen of lidocaine would not increase the risk of local anesthetic toxicity.

Abstract
Preparing high-performance electrode materials from metal-organic framework precursors is currently a hot research topic in the field of energy storage materials. Improving the conductivity of such electrode materials and further increasing their specific capacitance are key issues that must be addressed. In this work, we prepared phosphoric acid-functionalized UiO-66 material as a precursor for carbonization, and after carbonization, it was combined with activated carbon to obtain nitrogen-/phosphorus-codoped carbonized UiO-66 composite material (N/P-C-UiO-66@AC). This material exhibits excellent conductivity. In addition, the carbonized product ZrO2 and the nitrogen-/phosphorus-codoped structure evidently improve the pseudocapacitance of the material. Electrochemical test results show that the material has a good electrochemical performance. The specific capacitance of the supercapacitor made from this material at 1.0 A/g is 140 F/g. After 5000 charge-discharge cycles at 10 A/g, its specific capacitance still remains at 88.5%, indicating that the composite material has good cycling stability. The symmetric supercapacitor assembled with this electrode material also has a high energy density of 11.0 W h/kg and a power density of 600 W/kg.

Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited skeletal muscle disorder caused primarily by a genetic mutation, usually in the calcium channel gene of the muscle. This mutation can lead to muscle hypersensitivity to volatile anesthetics (such as sevoflurane) and the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine, resulting in hyperthermia, muscle stiffness, metabolic disturbances, and other severe physiological reactions. This condition may prove fatal unless it is recognized in its early stages and treatment is administered promptly and aggressively. We report a 13-year-old adolescent who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and developed MH after the use of inhalational anesthetics, manifested by unremitting hyperthermia with a maximum temperature of 44.2°C, muscle rigidity, tachycardia, hypercapnia; and malignant arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, hyperkalemia, metabolic, and respiratory acidosis. After early and timely recognition, multidisciplinary management and administration of dantrolene, the case was successfully treated. Exome sequencing revealed a point mutation (amino acid change) on the RYR1 gene: c.12700G>C(p.Val4234Leu). Due to the lack of ready-made dantrolene in our hospital, the patient in this case received dantrolene treatment only 6 h after the first observation of high body temperature. We review the development of the disease and summarize the success of treatment and what can be done to improve the chances of saving the patient's life if dantrolene is not available in time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This randomized controlled trial was performed to observe the effect of remimazolam with sufentanil on hemodynamics during anesthetic induction in elderly patients with mild hypertension undergoing orthopedic surgery of the lower limbs. METHODS Sixty elderly patients were randomly assigned to undergo general anesthesia with intravenous injection of either remimazolam besylate (25 mg/vial, batch number 10T11011; Yichang Humanwell Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Yichang, China) at 0.2 mg/kg (Group R, n = 30) or propofol at 1.5 mg/kg (Group P, n = 30). Both injections were completed within 15 to 20 s. If the bispectral index value did not reach 40 to 60, then 0.05 mg/kg of remimazolam was added in Group P and 1 mg/kg of propofol was added in Group R. When the BIS value reached 40 to 60, sufentanil was administered at 0.3 to 0.5 µg/kg and cisatracurium was administered at 0.15 to 0.2 mg/kg in both groups. Three minutes later, tracheal intubation and controlled ventilation were performed to maintain the end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure at 4.5 to 5.0 kPa. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), continuous cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and pulse oxygen saturation were recorded before induction (T0), when the eyelash reflex disappeared (T1), immediately after endotracheal intubation (T2), 1 min after endotracheal intubation (T3), and 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T4). The disappearance time of the eyelash reflex, injection pain, hypotension, bradycardia, hiccupping, nausea and vomiting, and other adverse events were observed. RESULTS The MAP, HR, CO, and CI at T1, T2, T3, and T4 were significantly higher in Group R than P, while SVR was significantly lower in Group R than P (P < 0.05). In Group P, the MAP, HR, CO, and CI were significantly lower and the SVR was significantly higher at T1, T2, T3, and T4 than at T0 (P < 0.05). Adverse events occurred in 8 (20%) patients in Group R and 22 (73%) in Group P. The total incidence of adverse events was significantly lower in Group R than P (P < 0 0.001). CONCLUSION Remimazolam combined with sufentanil for general anesthesia induction has the advantages of small hemodynamic fluctuations, stable circulation, and few adverse reactions, making it suitable for elderly patients with mild hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is increasing evidence for a close correlation between risk stratification, prognosis and the immune environment in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). However, the efficacy of immunotherapy is different among different patients with COAD. Therefore, the current work tends to use immune-related gene to develop a gene-pair model to evaluate the COAD prognosis, and to develop a new method for risk stratification of COAD, which is conducive to better predict the immunotherapy effect of patients. METHODS Specifically, from the TCGA and GEO (GSE14333 and GSE39582) databases, we first collected gene expression profiles, associated survival follow-up information of COAD patients. Through systematic bioinformatics analysis, we established a prognosis-related model of colon cancer with three pairs of "immune gene pairs", with uni- and multivariate and lasso cox regression analyses verifying the model stability. Most immune cells showed markedly different levels of infiltration between the two risk subgroups calculated by the model. More, single-cell RNA-seq analyses were also performed to validate the selected genes in the immune gene-pair model. RESULTS A prognosis-related model of colon cancer with three pairs of "immune gene pairs" were built and validated by several datasets. The analysis of immune landscape of COAD revealed that low-risk subgroup obtained by the prognosis-related model for COAD can be further divided into three subclusters with different prognosis. Then, we applied the Tumor online Prognostic analyses Platform (ToPP) to construct a prognostic model using these five genes. Results show that APOD, ISG20 and STC2 are risk factors, while CXCL9 and IL7R are protection factors. We also found that only the five-gene model could also predict the prognosis of COAD patients, indicating the robustness of the gene-pair model. Among the five genes, including CXCL9, APOD, STC2, ISG20, and IL7R, in the gene-pair model, single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the high expression of CXCL9 and IL7R in inflammatory macrophages. Using cell-cell interaction and trajectory analysis, data indicate that CXCL9+/IL7R+ pro-inflammatory macrophages were capable of secreting and activating more anti-tumor pathways than CXCL9-/IL7R- pro-inflammatory macrophages. CONCLUSIONS In short, we have successfully developed an "immune gene pair" related model that can judge the prognostic status of patients with COAD and may contribute to risk stratification and evaluate potential beneficiaries of immunotherapy, providing new ideas for the anti-COAD management and therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To clarify the definition of severe pulmonary tuberculosis and its inclusion criteria by summarizing and analyzing the studies of severe pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Methods: A systematic search of Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, Embase, CNKI, WanFang database, and CBM database was conducted to collect studies published between 2017 and 2022 on patients with severe pulmonary TB. Searches were performed using a combination of subject terms and free words. The search terms included: tuberculosis, severe, serious, intensive care, critical care, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, hospitalization, respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ failure, pulmonary heart disease, and pneumothorax. The definitions and inclusion criteria for severe pulmonary TB in the included studies were extracted. Results: A total of 19 981 studies were identified and 100 studies were finally included, involving 8 309 patients with severe pulmonary TB. A total of 8 (8.00%) studies explicitly mentioned the definition of severe pulmonary TB, and 53 (53.00%) studies clearly defined the inclusion criteria for patients with severe pulmonary TB. A total of 5 definitions and 30 inclusion criteria were extracted. A total of 132 dichotomous variables and 113 continuous variables were included in the outcome indicators related to patients with severe pulmonary TB of concern in the studies. Conclusions: The definition and diagnostic criteria for severe TB are unclear, and there is an urgent need to develop a clear definition and diagnostic criteria to guide clinical practice.

Methods A total of 149 patients undergoing hysteroscopy were randomly assigned to a ciprofol (Group C) or propofol group (Group P). All cases received intravenous sufentanil 0.1 µg/kg for analgesic preconditioning. Group C received an induction dose of ciprofol 0.4 mg/kg and a maintenance dosage of 0.6-1.2 mg/kg/h to maintain BIS value between 40-60. In Group P, propofol was started at 2.0 mg/kg and then maintained at 3.0-6.0 mg/kg/h. The primary outcome was the successful rate of hysteroscopy. Secondary outcomes included the change of hemodynamic, respiratory adverse events, injection pain, body movement, recovery time, anesthetist's satisfaction, time of disappearance of the eyelash reflex and the incidence of nausea and vomiting. Results The success rate of hysteroscopy in each group was 100%. After drug administration, the incidence of hypotension in Group C was much lower than that in Group P (P< 0.05). The incidence of respiratory adverse events in Group C (4.0%) was much lower than that in Group P (31.1%) (P< 0.05). The incidence of injection pain and body movement in Group C was significantly lower than that in Group P (P< 0.05). The mean eyelash reflex disappearance time was less than 3 minutes in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in awakening times, anesthetist's satisfaction and the incidence of nausea and vomiting. No serious adverse events occurred in any patients. Conclusion Ciprofol proved to be a safer alternative to propofol for anesthesia during hysteroscopy. In comparison to propofol, ciprofol does not cause injection pain, exerts less impact on hemodynamics, and results in less respiratory depression.

Abstract
Effective utilization of wild relatives is key to overcoming challenges in genetic improvement of cultivated tomato, which has a narrow genetic basis; however, current efforts to decipher high-quality genomes for tomato wild species are insufficient. Here, we report chromosome-scale tomato genomes from nine wild species and two cultivated accessions, representative of Solanum section Lycopersicon, the tomato clade. Together with two previously released genomes, we elucidate the phylogeny of Lycopersicon and construct a section-wide gene repertoire. We reveal the landscape of structural variants and provide entry to the genomic diversity among tomato wild relatives, enabling the discovery of a wild tomato gene with the potential to increase yields of modern cultivated tomatoes. Construction of a graph-based genome enables structural-variant-based genome-wide association studies, identifying numerous signals associated with tomato flavor-related traits and fruit metabolites. The tomato super-pangenome resources will expedite biological studies and breeding of this globally important crop.

Abstract
Many organisms use functional surfaces to collect water from the atmosphere. Salsola ferganica Drob. is one of the most abundant plants in desert regions and thrives in extreme environments with multiple but limited water resources, including dew and fog; however, its mechanisms of water harvesting remain unclear. We investigated trichome structural characteristics and their influence on the surface wettability of S. ferganica leaves using a variety of approaches (scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, immunolabelling staining, X-ray diffractometry, and infrared spectroscopy). Microstructural observations revealed that the trichomes of S. ferganica presented a curved upper part, the 'spindle node'-like structure in the middle, and the micro-grooves structure in between; such unique structures may aid in capturing moisture from the air. The physicochemical characteristics of the trichome surface, including hydrophobic functional groups, hydrophilic pectins, and low crystallinity, may enhance the adhesion of water drops to trichomes. Furthermore, we discovered that the piliferous S. ferganica leaves were more effective in retaining water than the glabrous S. aralocaspica leaves, and the dense trichome layer exhibited a significantly unwettable surface (high contact angle with droplets), whereas the individual trichomes retained water effectively (more so under drought conditions). The combination of these two properties is consistent with the 'rose petal effect', which describes rough surfaces that are hydrophobic but exhibit high adhesion with water. These factors suggest that the evolutionary optimisation of water acquisition by coupling relevant microstructures with the physicochemical properties of trichomes enables S. ferganica to survive harsh conditions in the seedling stage.

Abstract
Ciprofol is a newly developed intravenous anesthetic agent with improved pharmacokinetic properties. Compared to propofol, ciprofol exhibits stronger binding to the GABAA receptor and elicits a greater enhancement of GABAA receptor-mediated neuronal currents in vitro. The aims of the present clinical trials were to examine the safety and efficacy of different doses of ciprofol for induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients. A total of 105 elderly patients undergoing elective surgery were randomized, in a 1:1:1 ratio, to receive one of three sedation regimens: (1) the C1 group (0.2 mg/kg ciprofol), (2) the C2 group (0.3 mg/kg ciprofol), (3) the C3 group (0.4 mg/kg ciprofol). The primary outcome was the incidence of various adverse events, including hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, tachycardia, hypoxemia, and injection pain. The secondary outcomes of efficacy were the success rate of general anesthesia induction, the time to anesthesia induction, and the frequency of remedial sedation was recorded in each group. Adverse events occurred in 13 patients (37%) in group C1, 8 patients (22%) in group C2, and 24 patients (68%) in group C3. Compared with group C2, the total incidence of adverse events was significantly higher in group C1 and group C3 (p < .001).The success rate of general anesthesia induction in the three groups was 100%. Compared with group C1, the frequency of remedial sedation was significantly lower in group C2 and group C3. The outcomes demonstrated that ciprofol at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg has good safety and efficacy in the induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients. Overall, ciprofol is a new and viable option for the induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing elective surgery.

Abstract
MYB transcription factors (TFs) are important regulators of the stress response in plants. In the present study, we characterized the CgMYB1 gene in Chenopodium glaucum, a member of the R2R3-MYB TF family. CgMYB1 was located in the nucleus with an activating domain at the C terminus. The CgMYB1 gene could be induced by salt and cold stress in C. glaucum. Overexpressing CgMYB1 in Arabidopsis significantly enhanced salt and cold tolerance, probably by improving physiological performance and stress-related gene expression. Further analysis suggests that the positive response of CgMYB1 to abiotic stress may partially be attributed to the interaction between CgMYB1 and the CgbHLH001 promoter followed by activation of downstream stress-responsive genes, which mediates stress tolerance. Our findings should contribute to further understanding of the function of R2R3 MYB TF in response to abiotic stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous studies revealed that CgbHLH001 transcription factor (TF) played an important role in abiotic stress tolerance, suggesting that its promoter was a potential target in response to stress signals. In addition, the regulatory mechanism of CgbHLH001 TF is still limited. RESULTS In the present study, a 1512 bp of 5'-flanking sequence of CgbHLH001 gene was identified, and the sequence carried quite a few of cis-acting elements. The gene promoter displayed strong activity and was induced by multiple abiotic stress. A series of 5'-deletions of the promoter sequence resulted in a gradual decrease in its activity, especially, the 5' untranslated region (UTR) was necessary to drive promoter activity. Further, CgbHLH001 promoter drove its own gene overexpression ectopically at the transcriptional and translational levels, which in turn conferred the stress tolerance to transgenic Arabidopsis. Transcriptome analysis showed that salt stress induced a large number of genes involved in multiple biological regulatory processes. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that mediate phytohormone signal transduction and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway were widely induced and mostly upregulated under salt stress, and the transcription levels in PbHLH::bHLH-overexpressing transgenic lines were higher than that of 35S::bHLH overexpression. CONCLUSIONS The CgbHLH001 promoter exhibited a positive response to abiotic stress and its 5' UTR sequence enhanced the regulation of gene expression to stress. A few important pathways and putative key genes involved in salt tolerance were identified, which can be used to elucidate the mechanism of salt tolerance and decipher the regulatory mechanism of promoters to develop an adaptation strategy for desert halophytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To survive harsh environmental conditions, desert plants show various adaptions, such as the evolution of trichomes, which are protective epidermal protrusions. Currently, the morphogenesis and function of trichomes in desert plants are not well understood. Salsola ferganica is an annual halophyte distributed in cold deserts; at the seedling stage, its rod-shaped true leaves are covered with long and thick trichomes and are affected by habitat conditions. Therefore, we evaluated the trichomes on morphogenesis and cell wall composition of S. ferganica compared to Arabidopsis thaliana and cotton, related gene expression, and preliminary function in salt accumulation of the leaves. RESULTS The trichomes of S. ferganica were initiated from the epidermal primordium, followed by two to three rounds of cell division to form a multicellular trichome, while some genes associated with them were positively involved. Cell wall composition analysis showed that different polysaccharides including heavily methyl-esterified and fully de-esterified pectins (before maturation, probably in the primary wall), xyloglucans (in the mid-early and middle stages, probably in the secondary wall), and extensin (during the whole developmental period) were detected, which were different from those found in trichomes of Arabidopsis and cotton. Moreover, trichome development was affected by abiotic stress, and might accumulate salt from the mesophyll cells and secrete outside. CONCLUSIONS S. ferganica has multicellular, non-branched trichomes that undergo two to three rounds of cell division and are affected by abiotic stress. They have a unique cell wall composition which is different from that of Arabidopsis and cotton. Furthermore, several genes positively or negatively regulate trichome development. Our findings should contribute to our further understanding of the biogenesis and adaptation of plant accessory structures in desert plant species.

Abstract
Salt bladders are specialized epidermal structures that halophytes use to store and excrete excess salt. However, the cell wall composition during salt bladder development is unclear, and the functions of salt bladders in a few wild plants remain unexplored. Therefore, the present study examined salt bladder development, cell wall composition, and their roles under salt stress by employing bladder-brushed and unbrushed Chenopodium album plants. We found that the bladder cell of C. album was connected to the epidermal cells through a rectangular stalk cell and developed from the shoot tip and the young leaves. The polysaccharides of salt bladder cell wall showed dynamic distribution at different stages of development. Moreover, salt bladders affected Na+ and K+ accumulation, increased reactive oxygen species scavenging, and improved the osmoregulation and photosynthetic efficiency in leaves, subsequently enhancing the salt tolerance of plants. The findings strengthen our knowledge of the physiological mechanisms of the accessory structures in desert plants, which can be used as a reference for further research at the molecular level.

Abstract
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play important roles in plant growth, development, metabolism, hormone signaling pathways, and responses to abiotic stresses. However, comprehensive genomic and functional analyses of bHLH genes have not yet been reported in desert euhalophytes. Suaeda aralocaspica, an annual C4 halophyte without Kranz anatomy, presents high photosynthetic efficiency in harsh natural habitats and is an ideal plant for identifying transcription factors involved in stress resistance. In this study, 83 bHLH genes in S. aralocaspica were identified and categorized into 21 subfamilies based on conserved motifs, gene structures, and phylogenetic analysis. Functional annotation enrichment revealed that the majority of SabHLHs were enriched in Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways involved in the response to stress conditions, as transcription factors. A number of cis-acting elements related to plant hormones and stress responses were also predicted in the promoter regions of SabHLHs, which were confirmed by expression analysis under various abiotic stress conditions (NaCl, mannitol, low temperature, ABA, GA3, MeJA, and SA); most were involved in tolerance to drought and salinity. SabHLH169 (076) protein localized in the nucleus was involved in transcriptional activity, and gene expression could be affected by different light qualities. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of the bHLH gene family in S. aralocaspica. These data will facilitate further characterization of their molecular functions in the adaptation of desert plants to abiotic stress.

Abstract
Cotyledons play an important role in seedling establishment, although they may just exist for a short time and become senescent upon the emergence of euphylla. So far, the detailed function of cotyledons has not been well understood. Suaeda aralocaspica is an annual halophyte distributed in cold deserts; its cotyledons could exist for a longer time, even last until maturity, and they must exert a unique function in seedling development. Therefore, in this study, we conducted a series of experiments to investigate the morphological and physiological performances of cotyledons under salt stress at different developmental stages. The results showed that the cotyledons kept growing slowly to maintain the normal physiological activities of seedlings by balancing phytohormone levels, accumulating osmoprotectants and antioxidants, and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Salt stress activated the expression of osmoprotectant-related genes and enhanced the accumulation of related primary metabolites. Furthermore, differentially expressed transcriptional profiles of the cotyledons were also analyzed by cDNA-AFLP to gain an understanding of cotyledons in response to development and salt stress, and the results revealed a progressive increase in the expression level of development-related genes, which accounted for a majority of the total tested TDFs. Meanwhile, key photosynthetic and important salt stress-related genes also actively responded. All these performances suggest that "big cotyledons" are experiencing a delayed but active developmental process, by which S. aralocaspica may survive the harsh condition of the seedling stage.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine, esketamine or combined intranasal administration on the induction of inhalation anaesthesia in children.Methods: Ninety children aged 1–6 years were randomly allocated into three equal groups to be premedicated with either intranasal dexmedetomidine 2 μg/kg (Group D), esketamine 1 mg/kg (Group S), or dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg combined with esketamine 0.5 mg/kg (Group DS). The primary endpoint was the Induction Compliance Checklist (ICC) Scale. Secondary outcomes included the sedation success rate; the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale score; the time of reaching up to two points on the University of Michigan Sedation Scale (UMSS); Parental Separation Anxiety Scale; anaesthesiologist satisfaction with induction based on the visual analogue scale; emergence agitation scale score; and adverse effects.Results: The children in the DS group showed a high degree of cooperation with inhalation anaesthesia induction, and their ICC score was significantly lower than that of the D and S groups (p = 0.001), but there was no difference between the D and S groups. The success rate of sedation was higher in Group DS (90%) than in Group D (70%) and Group S (53.3%) (p = 0.007). Anaesthesiologist satisfaction with induction was significantly higher in Group DS than in Groups D and S (p = 0.001). The incidence of emergence agitation and the Paediatric Anaesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) score in the DS group were lower than those in the D and S groups.Conclusions: Preoperative intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine combined with esketamine can significantly improve the cooperation of children with inhalation anaesthesia masks. It is a sedation method that has a high success rate and reduces the incidence and degree of emergence agitation.

Abstract
Seed dispersal, germination and seedling establishment are affected by various ecological factors in desert plant species. Tamarix ramosissima has evolved multiple strategies to facilitate its survival in harsh environments during the early stages of development. In this study, we investigated the effects of different ecological factors on seed germination and seedling growth, the function of the seed pappus in seed dispersal, as well as the function of the hypocotyl hairs in seedling establishment. We found that the seed germination of T. ramosissima was rapid and could occur under a wide range of temperatures (5-30 °C), after long periods of storage (at least 12 months on dispersal), under high concentrations of salts (700-900 mmol·L-1) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 (500 g·L-1) and under medium concentrations of alkalis (300-500 mmol·L-1). Lower concentrations of salts and PEG promoted seedling growth. The seed pappus had no effect on seed germination, but it might function as an accessory structure that provides a buoyancy force and promotes long-distance seed dispersal. The hypocotyl hairs located on the edge of the hypocotyl end might aid the upright positioning of the seedlings during early development, especially when seed germination occurs under floating or flooding conditions. In conclusion, the germination of T. ramosissima seeds and seedling development can occur under diverse types of abiotic stress, and the seed pappus and hypocotyl hairs played an important role in seed dispersal and seedling establishment.

Abstract
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor has been shown to play an important role in various physiological processes. However, its functions and mechanisms in drought tolerance still remain poorly understood. Here, we reported a bHLH transcription factor - CgbHLH001 - from Chenopodium glaucum, which was able to confer drought tolerance in maize. CgbHLH001-overexpressed maize lines exhibited drought-tolerant phenotype and improved ear traits by accumulating the contents of soluble sugar and proline and elevating the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT) under drought stress, accompanying with the upregulation of some stress-related genes, which may balance the redox and osmotic homeostasis compared with the non-transgenic and CgbHLH001-RNAi plants. These findings suggest that CgbHLH001 can confer drought tolerance and has the potential for utilization in improving drought resistance in maize breeding.

Abstract
Background Sugar and organic acids not only contribute to the formation of soluble solids (Brix) but also are an essential factor affecting the overall flavor intensity. However, the possible metabolic targets and molecular synthesis mechanisms remain to be further clarified. Methods UHPLC-HRMS (ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry) combined with comparative transcriptome analysis were performed in fruits at green ripe (S1), turning-color (S2), and red ripe (S3) stages of two tomato genotypes TM-1 (Solanum galapagense L., LA0436) and TM-38 (S. lycopersicum L. cultivar M82, LA3475) that vary in fruit Brix. Results The fruit Brix of TM-1 was nearly twice that of TM-38 at S3. Nevertheless, TM-1 accumulated 1.84- and 2.77-fold the L-malic acid and citric acid in red ripe fruit (S3) compared with TM-38, respectively. D-glucose and D-fructose in TM-1 and TM-38 fruits tended to be similar at S3. Concomitantly, the sugar/organic acid ratio of TM-38 fruits were 23. 08-, 4. 38-, and 2.59-fold higher than that of TM-1 fruits at S1, S2, and S3, respectively. Among starch and sucrose (carbohydrate, CHO) metabolism (ko00500) genes, SUS (Solyc07g042550.3) and BAM (Solyc08g077530.3) were positively (r = 0.885–0.931) correlated with the sugar/organic acid ratio. Besides, INV (Solyc09g010080.3 and Solyc09g010090.5.1), AAM (Solyc04g082090.3), 4-α-GTase (Solyc02g020980.2.1), BGL2 (Solyc06g073750.4, Solyc06g073760.3, and Solyc01g081170.3), TPS (Solyc01g005210.2 and Solyc07g006500.3), and TPP (Solyc08g079060.4) were negatively (r = −0.823 to −0.918) correlated with the sugar/organic acid ratio. The organic acid (TCA cycle) metabolism (ko00020) gene ALMT (Solyc01g096140.3) was also negatively (r = −0.905) correlated with the sugar/organic acid ratio. Conclusion Citric acid may play a more dominant role in the sugar/organic acid ratio of the tomato fruit, and the contribution of both L-malic acid and citric acid to the fruit Brix was much greater than that of D-glucose and D-fructose. Genes involved in CHO and TCA metabolism, which have a significant correlation with the sugar/organic acid ratio were considered to be the contributing factors of fruit Brix.

Abstract
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) plays pivotal roles in the carbon fixation of photosynthesis and a variety of metabolic and stress pathways. Suaeda aralocaspica belongs to a single-cellular C4 species and carries out a photosynthetic pathway in an unusually elongated chlorenchyma cell, which is expected to have PEPCs with different characteristics. To identify the different isoforms of PEPC genes in S. aralocaspica and comparatively analyze their expression and regulation patterns as well as the biochemical and enzymatic properties in this study, we characterized a bacterial-type PEPC (BTPC; SaPEPC-4) in addition to the two plant-type PEPCs (PTPCs; SaPEPC-1 and SaPEPC-2) using a genome-wide identification. SaPEPC-4 presented a lower expression level in all test combinations with an unknown function; two SaPTPCs showed distinct subcellular localizations and different spatiotemporal expression patterns but positively responded to abiotic stresses. Compared to SaPEPC-2, the expression of SaPEPC-1 specifically in chlorenchyma cell tissues was much more active with the progression of development and under various stresses, particularly sensitive to light, implying the involvement of SaPEPC-1 in a C4 photosynthetic pathway. In contrast, SaPEPC-2 was more like a non-photosynthetic PEPC. The expression trends of two SaPTPCs in response to light, development, and abiotic stresses were also matched with the changes in PEPC activity in vivo (native) or in vitro (recombinant), and the biochemical properties of the two recombinant SaPTPCs were similar in response to various effectors while the catalytic efficiency, substrate affinity, and enzyme activity of SaPEPC-2 were higher than that of SaPEPC-1 in vitro. All the different properties between these two SaPTPCs might be involved in transcriptional (e.g., specific cis-elements), posttranscriptional [e.g., 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) secondary structure], or translational (e.g., PEPC phosphorylation/dephosphorylation) regulatory events. The comparative studies on the different isoforms of the PEPC gene family in S. aralocaspica may help to decipher their exact role in C4 photosynthesis, plant growth/development, and stress resistance.

Abstract
1. A better understanding of intestinal development is essential for the intestinal health of poultry. Intestinal villification starts on embryo day E15 and is generally completed before hatching (E21). The development of lymphoid organs in the intestine starts during embryogenesis. However, transcriptional information on the processing of intestinal morphogenesis and immune development during chick embryogenesis is limited.2. In this work, RNA-sequencing was performed using 12 biological replicates to investigate Hy-Line brown chick embryonic small intestinal transcription at E15 and E21. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between E15 and E21 were identified. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, based on the DEGs, were performed to identify key GO terms in the biological process category and key KEGG pathways. PPI networks were constructed based on the DEGs in the key pathways to screen hub genes. The embryonic small intestinal morphology and IgA distribution were observed by histological processing. The serum levels of IgA and lysozyme were measured by ELISA.3. A total of 76.38 Gb of high-quality RNA-sequencing data were generated and uploaded. A total of 2,676 DEGs, between E15 and E21, were identified. Structural development and villification of the small intestine at E15 tended to proceed via the expression of nervous system development-related genes. A combination of the histological and serological results with the transcriptome data indicated that the identified genes and pathways may be strong candidates for intestinal morphogenesis-regulation.4. The small intestine appears to have developed a relatively complete morphology and transport, metabolism, digestion and immunity functions by E21. This work provided a transcriptome profile of the chick embryonic small intestine and provided insights into the intestinal development and health of poultry.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Short QT syndrome (SQTS), a disorder associated with characteristic electrocardiogram QT-segment abbreviation, predisposes afflicted patients to sudden cardiac death. Despite some progress in assessing the organ level pathophysiology and genetic changes of the disorder, the understanding of the human cellular phenotype and discovering of an optimal therapy has lagged due to a lack of appropriate human cellular models of the disorder. The aim of this study was to establish a cellular model of SQTS type 5 using human-induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) and gene-edited cell line using CRISPR/CAS9.
Methods and results
This study recruited one patient with short QT syndrome type 5 carrying a mutation in CACNb2 gene as well as one healthy control subject. We generated hiPSCs from their skin fibroblasts, and differentiated hiPSCs into cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) for physiological. Isogenic control hiPSC-CMs generated by the CRISPR/CAS9 technique were also used for the study.
The hiPSC-CMs from the patient showed a reduced calcium current (ICa-L) density and shortened action potential duration (APD) compared with healthy control hiPSC-CMs and isogenic hiPSC-CMs. Furthermore, they demonstrated abnormal rhythmic activities. Carbachol increased the arrhythmic events in SQTS significantly but not in healthy and isogenic control cells. Gene and protein expression profiling showed a decreased CACNb2 expression in SQTS cells. Quinidine prolonged the APD and abolished arrhythmic activity.
Conclusions
Patient-specific hiPSC-CMs are able to recapitulate single-cell phenotype features of SQTS type 5 and provide novel opportunities to further elucidate the cellular disease mechanism and test drug effects.

Abstract
Seed heteromorphism is an adaptive strategy towards adversity in many halophytes. However, the underlying mechanisms and ecological significance of seed heteromorphism have not been deeply explored. Using Suaeda aralocaspica, a typical C4 annual halophyte without Kranz anatomy, we studied seed morphology, differentiation of morphs and fruit-setting patterns, and correlated these traits with germination responses, seed characteristics and heteromorphic seed ratio. To elucidate the genetic basis of seed heteromorphism, we analysed correlated patterns of gene expression for seed development-related genes as well. We observed that S. aralocaspica produced three types of seed morph: brown, large black and small black with differences in colour, size, mass and germination behaviour; the latter two were further distinguished by their origin in female or bisexual flowers, respectively. Further analysis revealed that seed heteromorphism was associated with genetic aspects including seed positioning, seed coat differentiation and seed developmental gene expression, while variations in seed heteromorphism may be associated with environmental conditions, e.g. annual precipitation, temperature, daylight and their monthly distribution in different calendar years. Seed heteromorphism and its variations in S. aralocaspica show multilevel regulation of the bet-hedging strategy that influences phenotypic plasticity, which is a consequence of internal genetic and external environmental factor interaction. Our findings contribute to the understanding of seed heteromorphism as a potential adaptive trait of desert plant species.

Abstract
Background Despite an increase in the rates of epidural labor analgesia, continuation of epidural labor analgesia in the second stage of labor (CEADSSOL) was interrupted by care providers due to fears of increased risk of operative delivery and adverse neonatal outcomes. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of CEADSSOL and the newer American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) definition of arrest of labor on the length of secondary stage of labor, newborn outcomes, and mode of delivery. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study. Data collection began during March 2014 and ended in May 2015, 1 year after implementation of both interventions. The primary outcome was the length of secondary stage of labor, mode of delivery and neonatal outcome (Apgar < 7, at 5 minutes). The implementation of continuing epidural analgesia during the second stage of labor was performed with 0.08%‐0.15% ropivacaine and 0.1‐0.2 µg/mL sufentanil. Results There were a total 10 414 deliveries during the study period. The length of the second stage of labor has no significant differences among groups. The cesarean delivery rate decreased 4.1% (36% vs 40.1%, P = .0038). Moreover, no significant difference was found in neonatal Apgar scores less than 7 at 5 minutes between two phases. Maternal outcomes remained unchanged. Post‐intervention neonatal parameters including NICU admissions (P < .001), incidences of antibiotics usage (P < .0001), intubation (P = .0003), and 7 days mortality (P = .0020) were remarkably reduced compared to pre‐interventions. Conclusion The important finding of this study was the improvement in neonatal outcomes by implementing two simultaneous interventions without a cost of increased operative delivery.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between dietary N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) intake and chronic inflammation state of body. Methods: A total of 306 samples of 102 types of food were purchased from a supermarket in Xiamen in September 2019, including grains, meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, beans, dairy products, vegetables and fruits. The content of Neu5Gc in food was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 500 healthy freshmen from Xiamen University were selected by using a simple random sampling method. The food frequency questionnaire was used to investigate the food intake in the past year. The food intake was corrected by 3 consecutive 24-hour recalls, and the amount of Neu5Gc intake was calculated. The concentration of anti-Neu5Gc antibody, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum was detected. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between Neu5Gc intake and anti-Neu5Gc antibody, CRP and IL-6 levels. Results: Neu5Gc was mainly found in red meat and liquid dairy products. The contents of Neu5Gc in beef, lamb and pork were (30.32±2.84), (20.39±4.73) and (5.58±1.04) mg/kg, respectively, and in liquid milk and yogurt were (10.87±1.54) and (6.91±0.24) mg/L, respectively. The M (P25, P75) intake of Neu5Gc for all participants was 4.62 (2.20, 8.60) mg/d. The M(P25, P75) intake of Neu5Gc for males about 6.60(2.83, 10.20) was higher than that for females about [3.84 (1.84, 6.35) mg/d] (P<0.001). The M (P25, P75) of serum anti-Neu5Gc, CRP and IL-6 levels were 3.07 (2.17, 4.14) μg/ml, 0.37 (0.22, 0.87) mg/ml and 61.82 (12.23, 315.30) pg/ml, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the intake level of Neu5Gc was positively correlated with serum anti-Neu5Gc antibody, CRP and IL-6 levels, with rs values about 0.222, 0.102 and 0.126, respectively (all P values <0.05). Conclusion: Dietary Neu5Gc intake is mainly from red meat and liquid dairy products, and its intake level is positively correlated with chronic inflammatory state of body.

Abstract
Purpose: To study the synergistic effect of a combination of granulocyte-macrophage colonystimulating factor and thymosin-α1 on the treatment of Lewis lung cancer transplanted tumor.Methods: C57BL/6 mice were used. A mouse model of Lewis lung cancer was established using Lewis lung cancer cell lines. The mice were randomly divided into blank control group, polyene taxol (DTX) group, DTX thymosin α1 (Tα-1) group, and DTX granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) group, with 8 mice per group. The degree of tumor inhibition, thymus mass, thymus index, spleen mass, spleen index, IL-6, TNF-1, IFN-1, CD4+, CD8+ T cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ were determined by ELISA and flow cytometry.Results: Body mass, thymus mass, thymus index, spleen mass, spleen index, IL-6, TNF-1, IFN-1, CD4+, CD8+ T cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in DTX + Tα-1 group, DTX + GM-CSF group and DTX + Tα-1 + GM-CSF group were significantly elevated (p < 0.05), relative to the corresponding levels in DTXmice (p < 0.05). Body mass, degree of tumor inhibition, thymus mass, thymus index, spleen mass, spleen index, IL-6, TNF-1, IFN-1, CD4, CD8 T cells and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in DTX + Tα-1 + GM-CSF mice were significantly elevated, relative to the DTX + Tα-1 and DTX + GM-CSF groups (p < 0.05). Thestate of the tumor was significantly improved in the DTX + Tα-1 and DTX + GM-CSF mice.Conclusion: A combination treatment of GM-CSF, Tα-1 and DEX effectively enhances the resistance of mice and suppresses chemotherapy-induced decrease in body weight. This finding may be of clinical significance.

Abstract
Variations of photosynthetic structures in different tissues or cells are in coordination with changes in various aspects, e.g. physiology, biochemistry, gene expression, etc. Most C4 plant species undergo developmental enhancement of the photosynthetic system, which may present different modes of changes between anatomy and physiology/biochemistry. In the current study, we investigated a Kranz-type C4 species Salsola ferganica with the progressive development of photosynthetic (PS) structure, performance of PS physiology, induction of PS enzymes, and transcriptional and translational regulation of PS genes, results revealed that S. ferganica presented C3 type anatomy in cotyledons but C4 type in leaves (C3/L4), with the C4 system separation of initial carbon fixation in the palisade mesophyll (M) cells and the following incorporation into triosephosphates and sugars in the bundle sheath (BS) cells, respectively. The BS cells continuously surrounded the vascular bundles and water storage cells in leaf anatomic structure. Compared to the single-cell C4 species Suaeda aralocaspica, S. ferganica exhibited similar developmental enhancement of C4 syndrome temporally and spatially in anatomic structures, enzyme activities, and gene expression, which suggests that completion of differentiation of the photosynthetic system is necessary for a C4 assimilation pathway. Besides, S. ferganica also displayed some different characteristics compared to S. aralocaspica in photosynthetic physiology, e.g. a more flexible δ13C value, much lower phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity, and an insensitive response to stimuli, etc., which were not typical C4 characteristics. We speculate that this may suggest a different status of these two species in the evolutionary process of the photosynthesis pathway. Our findings will contribute to further understanding of the diversity of photosynthesis systems in Kranz-type C4 species and the Salsola genus.

Abstract
Calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) and its substrates play important roles in plant response to stress. So far, the documentation on the characterization of the CDPK and downstream interaction components (especially transcription factors, TFs) is limited. In the present study, an interaction between CgCDPK (protein kinase) (accession no. MW26306) and CgbHLH001 (TF) (accession no. MT797813) from a halophyte Chenopodium glaucum was further dissected. Firstly, we revealed that the probable nature between the CgCDPK and CgbHLH001 interaction was the phosphorylation, and the N-terminus of CgbHLH001, especially the 96th serine (the potential phosphorylation site) within it, was essential for the interaction, whereas the mutation of 96Ser to alanine did not change its nuclear localization, which was determined by the N-terminus and bHLH domain together. Furthermore, we verified the function of CgbHLH001 gene in response to stress by ectopic overexpression in tobacco; the transgenic lines presented enhanced stress tolerance probably by improving physiological performance and stress-related gene expression. In conclusion, we characterized the biological significance of the interaction between CDPK and bHLH in C. glaucum and verified the positive function of CgbHLH001 in stress tolerance, which may supply more evidence in better understanding of the CDPK signaling pathway in response to adversity.

Abstract
In order to achieve long-pulse H-mode plasma scenario over 400 s with high heating power in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) device, the lower graphite divertor will be upgraded into a tungsten (W) divertor with active water cooling, which consists of the W/Cu monoblock units and the W flat-tile units as the divertor plasma facing components. As a fundamental diagnostic tool, the divertor Langmuir probe (Div-LP) diagnostic system will be upgraded accordingly. This paper presents the design of two kinds of new Div-LP systems, which are planned to be utilized on the W/Cu monoblock units and the W flat-tile units for the upgraded lower tungsten divertor, respectively, including their structures and preliminary poloidal and toroidal layouts. The Div-LP diagnostic system can measure the plasma parameters with the schemes of triple-probe, double-probe, and single-probe, to obtain the spatial and temporal distribution of plasma behavior on the divertor targets, which is useful for the discharge control and operation in EAST. In addition, the thermal analysis of the two kinds of probe assemblies is also carried out by using the three-dimensional finite element code ANSYS, which is aimed to get the optimal designs to withstand the long-pulse and high-power operation in EAST future experiments.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the characteristics and methods of different fixation methods and prevention of open knee joint fracture. Methods: The data of 86 cases of open knee joint fracture admitted from January 2002 to December 2015 in Department of Orthopaedics, Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University were analyzed retrospectively.There were 65 males and 21 females aged of 38.6 years. There were 38 cases treated with trans articular external fixation alone, 48 cases were in the trans articular external fixation plus auxiliary limited internal fixation group. All the patients were treated according to the same three stages except for different fixation methods. Observation of external fixation and fracture fixation, fracture healing, wound healing and treatment, treatment and related factors of infection control and knee function recovery. χ(2) test was used to analyze data. Results: Eleven patients had primary wound healing, accounting for 12.8%. Seventy-five patients had two wounds healed, accounting for 87.2%. Only 38 cases of trans articular external fixator group had 31 cases of articular surface reduction, accounting for 81.6%; Five cases of trans articular external fixator assisted limited internal fixation group had 5 cases of poor reduction, accounting for 10.4%; There was significant difference between the two groups (χ(2)=44.132, P<0.05). Take a single cross joint external fixation group, a total of 23 cases of patients with infection, accounted for 60.5% of external fixation group; trans articular external fixation assisted limited internal fixation group there were 30 cases of patients with infection, accounting for the assistance of external fixator and limited internal fixation group 62.5%; There was significant difference between the two groups(χ(2)=0.035, P>0.05). Five cases of fracture nonunion cases of serious infection, patients voluntarily underwent amputation. The Lysholm Knee Scale: In the external fixation group, 23 cases were less than 50 points, accounting for 60.5%, 15 cases were more than 50 points, accounting for 39.5%, external fixation and limited internal fixation group 20 cases were less than 50 points, accounting for 41.7%, 28 cases were more than 50 points, accounting for 58.3%; There was significant difference between the two groups(χ(2)=1.279, P>0.05). Conclusions: Prevention and control of infection is a central link in the treatment of open fracture of the knee. Trans articular external fixator plus limited internal fixation is an important measure to treat open fracture of the knee-joint.

Abstract
Seed heteromorphism is a common characteristic of halophyte and an adaptation to the spatial and temporal variations of natural habitats. Differences in dormancy and germination requirements have been documented in heteromorphic seeds of many species, but the mechanisms for maintenance between different status in various populations have not been well-understood. Salsola ferganica is a typical annual halophyte in Chenopodiaceae distributed in cold desert, in the present study, we found that it could produce three distinct types of seed according to the shape and size of winged perianth (WP), which differed in dispersal ability, dormancy and germination behaviors. Our further investigation revealed that light could significantly promote germination of heteromorphic seeds of S. ferganica, and WP inhibited while GA3 enhanced germination, which suggests that S. ferganica seeds possessed a photo-sensitive combined with morphological and non-deep physiological dormancy type, in which light was the dominant factor. Not like other desert plant species, the germinability of heteromorphic seeds of S. ferganica could not sustain for long (only 1-2 years), especially the small seeds, and was affected by storage time, temperature, salinity, even the environmental conditions of the maternal plant. Thus, the differences of characteristics existed among heteromorphic seeds and variations of heteromorphic ratio among different calendar years were presumed as diverse adaptation strategies integrated in the individual mother plant, and might apply important ecological significance for successful reproduction of the species in the unpredictable cold desert.

Abstract
Plants have evolved different abilities to adapt to the ever-fluctuating environments for sessility. Calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) is believed to play a pivotal role in abiotic stress signaling. So far, study on the specific substrates that CDPK recognized in response to adversity is limited. In the present study, we revealed a potential interaction between CDPK and a bHLH transcription factor under salt stress in Chenopodium glaucum. First, we identified a CgCDPK, which was up-regulated under salt and drought stress; then by Y2H screening, CgCDPK was detected to be involved in interaction with a bHLH TF (named as CgbHLH001), which also positively respond to salt and drought stress. Further computational prediction and experiments including GST-pulldown and BiFC assays revealed that potential interaction existed between CgCDPK and CgbHLH001, and they might interact on the plasma membrane. In addition, CgCDPK-overexpressed transgenic tobacco line could significantly accumulate transcripts of NtbHLH (a homolog of CgbHLH001 in N. tabacum), which provided another evidence of correlation between CgCDPK and CgbHLH001. Our results suggest that CgbHLH001 can interact with CgCDPK in signal transduction pathway in response to abiotic stress, which should provide new evidence for further understanding of the substrate specificity of plant CDPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical outcome of totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery for mitral valve replacement. METHODS Clinical data of 634 cases undergoing totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery for mitral valve replacement from May 2004 to February 2016 in Department of Thoracoscopic Cardiacsurgery, Shanghai Yodak Cardiothoracic Hospital was analyzed retrospectively. There were 292 male and 342 female patients, aged from 17 to 68 years with a mean of (45±13) years. All the 634 patients had moderate-severe mitral valve stenosis and (or) incompetence, 263 patients had moderate-severe tricuspid valve incompetence, 356 patients had atrial fibrillation, 46 patients had left atrium thrombosis. Cardiopulmonary bypass was established with right femoral artery and a single 2 stage venus cannula in the right atrium. The ascending aorta was cross-clamped and the myocardium was protected by coronary perfusion with cold crystalloid cardioplegia. Totally thoracoscopic mitral valve replacement were performed. RESULTS Thirteen cases had incision expanded and 8 cases had conversions to sternotomy. Cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp time were (89±18) minutes and (51±12) minutes, respectively. Operation time was (3.1±1.2) hours. Mechanical ventilation time and intensive care unit stay were (17±6) hours and (27±8) hours, respectively. Postoperation drainage quantity was (390±70) ml. The hospital days was (9.2±2.1) days. There were 5 cases in-hospital deaths. Postoperative complications occurred in 42 cases (6.6%), including 18 cases of right hemoneumothorax, 12 cases of reoperation for bleeding, 3 cases of perivalvular leakage (reoperation was done in 1 patient), 3 cases of low cardiac output syndrome, 2 cases of acute renal failure, 2 cases of inferior vena cava injury, 1 case of right femoral artery thrombosis and liver injury, respectively. The mean duration of follow-up was (58±9) months in 608 cases, with a follow-up rate of 96.7% (608/629). Three patients had died during the period of follow-up caused by congestive heart failure (2 patients) and stroke (1 patient). Late complication among 605 survivors were 37 cases, including 32 cases of moderate tricuspid valve insufficiency, 3 cases of stroke, 1 case of perivalvular leakage and infective endocarditis, respectively.There was no reoperation during the period of follow-up. CONCLUSION Totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery for mitral valve replacement is safe and effective, with unique superiority and clinical feasible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy of tadalafil de-escalation in the therapeutic effects of psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) during the 3 months extension phase. METHODS A total of 90 men with mild to severe psychogenic ED were randomly divided into 2 groups: tadalafil 5 mg group and tadalafil de-escalation group. Efficacy assessments included the 5-item version of International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), the Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) questionnaires, Psychological and Interpersonal Relationship Scales (PAIRS), Erection Hardness Score (EHS). RESULTS Compared with the baseline, tadalafil 5 mg and de-escalation groups enhanced all efficacy outcomes. Patients receiving tadalafil 5 mg and de-escalation experienced a significant mean improvement in the psychogenic erectile function domain of the IIEF-5 from the baseline (p < 0.01). The mean change from baseline was significantly higher for the tadalafil de-escalation group than for the tadalafil 5 mg group (p < 0.05). Response to SEP3, PAIRS and EHS was significantly higher in the tadalafil de-escalation group than in the tadalafil 5 mg group (p < 0.05). The severity of ED in the tadalafil de-escalation group had reduced after treatment. It was also significantly better than those in the tadalafil 5 mg group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Tadalafil de-escalation significantly improved the erectile function among psychogenic ED patients. This implies that tadalafil de-escalation treatment for psychogenic ED is worthy of further clinical practice and research.
