Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1) knockdown on the migration of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) KYSE-450 cell and underlying mechanism. Methods: Lentiviral transfection was conducted to establish sh-NC control cell and ACC1 knocking down cell (sh-ACC1). Human siRNA HSP27 and control were transfected by Lipo2000 to get si-HSP27 and si-NC. The selective acetyltransferase P300/CBP inhibitor C646 was used to inhibit histone acetylation and DMSO was used as vehicle control. Transwell assay was performed to detect cell migration. The expression of HSP27 mRNA was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and the expressions of ACC1, H3K9ac, HSP27 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related proteins E-cadherin and Vimentin were detected by western blot. Results: The expression level of ACC1 in sh-NC group was higher than that in sh-ACC1 group (P<0.01). The number of cell migration in sh-NC group was (159.00±24.38), lower than (361.80±26.81) in sh-ACC1 group (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of E-cadherin and Vimentin in sh-NC group were statistically significant compared with sh-AAC1 group (P<0.05). The migrated cell number in sh-NC+ si-NC group was (189.20±16.02), lower than (371.60±38.40) in sh-ACC1+ si-NC group (P<0.01). The migrated cell number in sh-NC+ si-NC group was higher than that in sh-NC+ si-HSP27 group (152.40±24.30, P<0.01), and the migrated cell number in sh-ACC1+ si-NC group was higher than that in sh-ACC1+ si-HSP27 group (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of E-cadherin and Vimentin in sh-NC+ si-NC group were significantly different from those in sh-ACC1+ si-NC and sh-NC+ si-HSP27 groups (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of E-cadherin and Vimentin in sh-ACC1+ si-NC group were significantly different from those in sh-ACC1+ si-HSP27 group (P<0.01). After 24 h treatment with C646 at 20 μmmo/L, the migrated cell number in sh-NC+ DMSO group was (190.80±11.95), lower than (395.80±17.10) in sh-ACC1+ DMSO group (P<0.01). The migrated cell number in sh-NC+ DMSO group was lower than that in sh-NC+ C646 group (256.20±23.32, P<0.01). The migrated cell number in sh-ACC1+ DMSO group was higher than that in sh-ACC1+ C646 group (87.80±11.23, P<0.01). The protein expressions of H3K9ac, HSP27, E-cadherin and Vimentin in sh-NC+ DMSO group were significantly different from those in sh-ACC1+ DMSO group and sh-NC+ C646 group (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of H3K9ac, HSP27, E-cadherin and Vimentin in sh-ACC1+ DMSO group were significantly different from those in sh-ACC1+ C646 group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Knockdown of ACC1 promotes the migration of KYSE-450 cell by up-regulating HSP27 and increasing histone acetylation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Embarrassment is a self-conscious emotion with important social functions, but it is not well understood. The perception of bystanders is considered a precondition for embarrassment, which makes it unique from other self-conscious emotions. Studies have shown that socially close bystanders can reduce individuals' embarrassment. However, whether and how the embarrassment of individuals varies with the changes in social distance between them and their bystanders remained unclear, which indicates the key characteristics of embarrassment. METHODS The current research consists of two studies. Study 1 tested whether participants' embarrassment systematically varied with social distance by setting up three levels of social distance: close friends (i.e., short), casual friends (i.e., medium), and strangers (i.e., long), based on 159 participants. With two full mediation models, study 2 investigated whether and how the fear of negative evaluation and state attachment security mediated the influence of social distance on embarrassment based on 155 participants. CONCLUSIONS The current findings revealed that the social distance between bystanders and protagonists systematically influenced the embarrassment of protagonists and this effect occurred via two parallel pathways, i.e., by increasing the fear of negative evaluation and by reducing state attachment security. The findings not only showed the unique role of bystander characteristics on embarrassment, but also two cognitive processes behind this unique self-conscious emotion: fearing negative evaluation and seeking attachment for security.

Abstract
Elderly people tend not to compete with others, and if they do, the mechanism behind the competition is not clear. In this study, groups of elderly couples and matched cross-sex controls were recruited to perform a competitive button-pressing task, while their brain signals were simultaneously collected using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning. Several fundamental observations were made. First, controls showed attenuated interpersonal competition across task processes, but couples held the competition with each other. Second, couples demonstrated increased inter-brain synchronization (IBS) between the middle temporal cortex and the temporoparietal junction across task processes. Third, Granger causality analysis in couples revealed significant differences between the directions (i.e., from men to women, and from women to men) in the first half of the competitive task, whereas there was no significant difference in the second half. Finally, the groups of couples and controls could be successfully discriminated against based on IBS by using a machine-learning approach. In sum, these findings indicate that elderly couples can maintain interpersonal competition, and such maintenance might be associated with changes in the IBS of the mentalizing system. It suggests the possible positive impact of long-term spouse relationships on interpersonal interactions, both behaviorally and neurally, in terms of competition.

Abstract
Background The management of neoplastic lesions at the anorectal junction remains debated. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) have emerged as the primary endoscopic modalities of choice. Purpose We sought to compare the performance of ESD and EMR in resection of anorectal neoplasia. Method Two authors independently searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Libraries (Jan 2000 – Aug 2021) for citations evaluating the performance of endoscopic resection techniques (ESD, EMR) for lesions involving the anorectal junction (defined as within 20mm of the dentate line). The frequencies and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of technical success (complete removal of all neoplastic tissue at index procedure), clinically significant post-endoscopic resection bleeding (CSPEB), delayed perforation, recurrence and referral to surgery were assessed using random-effects modelling. Result(s) We included 11 studies (total 563 patients: 414 ESD, 149 EMR) of which nine were ESD and two were EMR studies. Technical success was achieved in 97.2% overall (95% CI 94.8%-98.5%, ESD 97.5% and EMR range 93.9%-98.0%). Clinically significant post-endoscopic resection bleeding occurred in 4.3% (95% CI 1.6%-11.1%, ESD 3.0% and EMR range 8.2%-11.0%). Delayed perforation was not identified. Recurrence at first screening colonoscopy occurred in 4.8% (95% CI 1.9%-11.7%, ESD 3.0% and EMR range 15.4%-18.4%). Referral to surgery for any reason occurred in 5.9% (95% CI 4.3%-8.0%, ESD 6.9%, EMR range 2.0%-3.0%). Conclusion(s) ESD and EMR demonstrate high frequencies of technical success but may have different rates of adverse events and recurrence. More studies investigating lesions at the anorectal junction should be conducted including head-to-head analyses between ESD and EMR for low-risk anorectal junction neoplasia.

Abstract
Digital devices play a critical role in preschoolers' learning and development. Despite the evidence that digital devices use may facilitate preschoolers' learning and development, their overuse/problematic use has become a global concern as the popularity and widespread use of digital devices. This scoping review aims to synthesize the empirical evidence to identify the status quo, influential factors, developmental outcomes, and models of overuse/problematic use in preschoolers. This search has identified 36 studies published in international peer-reviewed journals during 2001-2021, converging into four common topics: the current situation, the influential factors, the consequences, and the models. First, the average percentages of overuse and problematic use across the studies collected in this research were 48.34%, and 26.83%, separately. Second, two influential factors were identified: (1) children's characteristics and (2) parental and family factors. Third, early digital overuse/problematic use was found to have a negative impact on the following domains: (1) physical health, (2) psychosocial health, (3) problematic behaviors, and (4) cognitive development; Fourth, most relevant studies adopted general linear models, while few of them adopted experimental designs. Finally, the implications for future studies and practical improvements are also addressed.

Abstract
A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed to investigate the health benefits of probiotic bacteria in infants when delivered in a follow-on infant formula. The study was conducted in Fuyang (Anhui Province, China) during winter and enrolled 192 healthy infants aged six to 12 months. Infants received one of three follow-on formulae daily for 12 weeks: supplemented with 106 cfu/g Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (n=64); 106 cfu/g Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 (n=64); or without added probiotics (n=64). The primary endpoint was physician-confirmed bacterial or viral infections during the treatment period. Secondary endpoints included parentally reported (confirmed and unconfirmed) infections; antiviral or antibiotic treatments, and hospitalisation; stool frequency and consistency; infant growth; infant temperament; and adverse events. There were 8 cases of confirmed infection, all upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). Confirmed URTIs were observed in 9.4% of the control group, compared to 3.1% in the HN001 group (P=0.273), and 0.0% in the HN019 group (P=0.028). A similar trend was observed for parentally reported URTIs, with 25.0% in the control group, compared with 14.1% in the HN001 group (P=0.119) and 9.4% in the HN019 group (P=0.019). No infants in the HN019 group were prescribed antibiotics or antivirals, compared with 3 (4.7%) in the HN001 group and 7 (10.9%) in the control group. No infants required hospitalisation. The probiotic-containing formulae were well-tolerated: there were no cases of diarrhoea or differences in stool frequency or characteristics, no differences in infant growth or temperament, and no treatment-related adverse events. This study directly compared the benefits of two different probiotics when added to follow-on infant formula at 106 cfu/g and consumed over a 12-week period. While HN001 showed trends toward reduced infections, HN019 showed better performance in terms of significantly reduced incidence of both physician-confirmed and parentally reported URTIs, and antibiotic/antiviral use compared to a control in Chinese infants. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01724203).

Abstract
Objective: To explore the efficacy of entecavir antiviral therapy on the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) combined with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in Tibet region. Methods: HBeAg-positive CHB patients who were treated with entecavir in the outpatient and inpatient Department of Infectious Diseases of the Tibet Autonomous Region people's Hospital between January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 140 subjects with CHB, 95 cases were CHB alone, and the other 45 cases were diagnosed as CHB combined with NAFLD by ultrasound. All patients were given entecavir 0.5 mg orally once daily on an empty stomach for 48 weeks. HBeAg negative conversion rate, blood glucose, blood lipid, liver function and the degree of liver fibrosis were compared between the two groups at the 12th, 24th and 48th weeks of treatment to evaluate the virological response. SPSS 19.0 statistical software was used to process the data. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (x¯±s). Descriptive statistical analysis was used for t-test, and the categorical variables were expressed as percentage (%) and χ2 test. A p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: After 48 weeks of treatment, the HBeAg and HBV DNA negative conversion rate were significantly better in patients with CHB alone (group B) than CHB combined with NAFLD (group A), that is to say, HBeAg negative conversion rate in group A and B patients were 28.90% and 40%, respectively, and group B was better than group A. HBV DNA negative conversion rate was significantly elevated in group B (83.2%) than group A (64.4%), with statistical significance (P<0.05), and the difference between the both groups was statistically significant. Alanine aminotransferase level was significantly decreased in patients with CHB alone than patients with CHB combined with NAFLD. Aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio index was significantly decreased after treatment than before treatment in both group of patients, and the depletion was more pronounced in CHB alone group. Liver stiffness values were significantly decreased in patients with CHB combined with NAFLD than CHB alone group. Moreover, liver stiffness values was higher in group A than group B before treatment under the influence of fat attenuation factors, and the differences before treatment and after treatment were 3.50±4.66 and 2.05±2.53, respectively; however, group B was not affected by fat attenuation factors, so LSM value reduction in group A was more obvious, and the differences were statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in blood glucose and blood lipids levels before and after treatment between the two groups. Conclusion: NAFLD has a certain effect on antiviral therapy and liver fibrosis in patients with CHB, i.e., the effect of antiviral therapy in patients with CHB alone is better than patients with CHB combined with NAFLD. Patients with CHB combined with NAFLD when treated with antiviral therapy had a significantly greater degree of liver stiffness reduction than patients with CHB alone. Therefore, it is necessary to actively intervene the risk factors associated with NAFLD according to the actual situation of different individuals to improve clinical efficacy of antiviral therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Neoplastic lesions at the ileocecal valve (ICV) represent a complex lesion subgroup given the unique anatomical characteristics of this location. Both endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are established techniques for colorectal neoplasia but comparative analyses for ICV lesions are lacking.
Aims
Evaluate the performance of EMR and ESD for ICV neoplasia.
Methods
Between Jan 2000 to Aug 2021, two authors independently searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Libraries for relevant citations evaluating the performance of either EMR and/or ESD for ICV neoplasia; defined as lesions involving at least one component of the ICV complex. The rate of technical success (complete removal of all neoplastic tissue during index procedure of those lesions deemed amenable to endoscopic resection), clinically significant post-endoscopic resection bleeding (CSPEB), delayed perforation, and recurrence were assessed. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model.
Results
Nine studies (367 patients, 252 EMR, 115 ESD) were included in the analysis. Successful removal of all visible neoplastic tissue of those deemed amenable to endoscopic resection was 98.1% (EMR 99.6%, ESD 97.4%). Of note, only 2 studies, both assessing EMR, provided data on lesions which were not considered for endoscopic resection ranging from 5.6–23.7%. Average procedure time ranged from 45–49 minutes for EMR and 52–191 minutes for ESD. Clinically significant post-endoscopic resection bleeding occurred in 6.2% (EMR 9.4%, ESD 4.4%). Delayed perforation occurred in 0.6% (EMR 0.4%, ESD 2.0%). Recurrence occurred in 3.1% (EMR 13.2%, ESD 1.9%).
Conclusions
Endoscopic resection, both with EMR and ESD, demonstrates high technical success and good adverse event profiles amongst ICV neoplasia deemed amenable for endoscopic resection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Minimally invasive endoscopic resection techniques, including endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) have revolutionized the management of peri-appendiceal colorectal neoplasia. However, questions remain about their comparative performance.
Aims
We sought to evaluate the performance of EMR, ESD and EFTR for peri-appendiceal colorectal neoplasia.
Methods
Two authors independently searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Libraries (Jan 2000 – Aug 2021) for citations evaluating the performance of endoscopic resection techniques (EMR, ESD, EFTR) for peri-appendiceal colorectal neoplasia (defined as those involving or in close proximity to the appendiceal orifice). The incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of technical success (complete removal of all neoplastic tissue at index procedure), clinically significant post-endoscopic resection bleeding (CSPEB), delayed perforation, recurrence and referral to surgery were assessed using random-effects modelling.
Results
12 studies were included in the analysis (479 patients: 185 EMR, 171 ESD, 123 EFTR). Technical success was achieved in 93.5% (95% CI 90.9%-95.4%, EMR 93.5%, ESD 94.1%, EFTR 92.7%). Clinically significant post-endoscopic resection bleeding occurred in 1.3% (95% CI 0.4%-4.3%, EMR 3.8%, ESD 1.2%, EFTR 0%). Delayed perforation occurred in 1.9% (95% CI 0.9%-3.9%, EMR 0%, ESD 2.4%, EFTR 2.4%). Recurrence occurred in 5.7% (95% CI 2.3%-13.8%, EMR 14.3%, ESD 0.2%, EFTR 12.2–14.3%). Referral to surgery occurred in 9.0% (95% CI 6.7%-12.0%, EMR 8.1%, ESD 9.5%, EFTR 9.8%).
Conclusions
Minimally invasive endoscopic resection techniques including EMR, ESD and EFTR demonstrate high frequencies of technical success with comparable adverse event profiles. They should now be viewed as first-line therapeutic modalities for the management of peri-appendiceal colorectal neoplasia.

Abstract
Bombyx mori cypovirus (BmCPV) is an important pathogen of silkworm (B. mori), the economically beneficial insect. The mechanism of its interaction with host immune defence system in the process of infection is still not yet completely clear. Researches have demonstrated that virus-encoded microRNAs (miRNA) play a crucial role in regulating host-pathogen interaction, but few reports are available so far on miRNAs encoded by insect viruses, especially the RNA viruses. In this study, a putative miRNA encoded by the 10th segment of BmCPV genomic RNA, BmCPV-miR-10, was identified and functionally analysed. The expression of the putative BmCPV-miR-10 could be detected via stem-loop RT-PCR (reverse transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction) in the midgut of silkworm larvae infected with BmCPV. BmCSDE1 (B. mori cold shock domain E1 protein) gene was predicted to be a candidate target gene for BmCPV-miR-10 with the miRNA binding site located in 3' untranslated region of its mRNA. The regulation effect of the putative BmCPV-miR-10 on BmCSDE1 was verified in HEK293 cells by lentiviral expression system, in BmN cells by transfecting BmCPV-miR-10 mimics. The qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR) results showed that the putative BmCPV-miR-10 could suppress the expression of BmCSDE1. By injection of BmCPV-miR-10 mimics into the silkworm larvae infected with BmCPV, it was further proved that the putative BmCPV-miR-10 could suppress the expression of BmCSDE1 in vivo, then inhibit the expression of BmApaf-1 (B. mori apoptotic protease activating factor 1), while enhance the replication of BmCPV genomic RNAs to a certain extent. These results implied that the putative BmCPV-miR-10 could down-regulate the expression of BmCSDE1, then suppress the expression of BmApaf-1, thereby created a favourable intracellular environment for virus replication and proliferation.

Abstract
Social exclusion motivates individuals to selectively reconnect with others, in which face categorization plays an important role. However, it remains unknown how reconnection possibility interacts with perception at the very early stage of face categorization. To address this issue, after social exclusion or social inclusion priming, participants were instructed to select one person from two gender-matched strangers as a future "coworker" (with high reconnection possibility; the left one is a future "stranger," with low reconnection possibility) for another ostensible task, and then complete an orientation judgment task of self-face, coworker face and stranger face, with event-related brain potential (ERP) recordings. Results showed that excluded participants produced larger N100 to future coworker face than to stranger face, but no such difference was found among included participants. Compared with included participants, excluded participants produced significantly larger N100 to future coworker face. Moreover, N100 elicited by future coworker face was significantly negatively correlated with rating scores of exclusion only for social excluded participants. These findings indicate that social reconnection desire may contribute to the biased face perception which facilitates face categorization of socially excluded people.

Abstract
Our brain codes manipulable tools as possibilities for action, particularly for those surrounding the body. Recent studies showed people would adjust their motor program when observing others around their own bodies (i.e. in the personal space). However, it remained unclear whether representing a personal space invader can automatically trigger motor coding. To address this, we devised an interaction task to measure the activation of pushing movements in facing a stranger approaching into personal space. The LRP (lateralized readiness potential) analyses revealed that observing a stranger in personal space caused an initial LRP bias associated with pushing movements, and an LRP deflection before responding of pull, suggesting representing personal space invaders activated the motor coding of push. The behavioral results showed the personal space intrusion prolonged the reaction time of participants' subsequent instructed pulling responses. The results of experiment 2 confirmed the behavioral observation of experiment 1 and further revealed the relationship between the response bias of push and social anxiety. Together, the present study demonstrates representing a stranger in personal space activated coding of defensive hand movements and biased subsequent motor responses.

Abstract
Obesity is a major risk factor underlying the development of metabolic disease and a growing public health concern globally. Strategies to promote skeletal muscle metabolism can be effective to limit the progression of metabolic disease. Here, we demonstrate that the levels of the Hippo pathway transcriptional co-activator YAP are decreased in muscle biopsies from obese, insulin-resistant humans and mice. Targeted disruption of Yap in adult skeletal muscle resulted in incomplete oxidation of fatty acids and lipotoxicity. Integrated 'omics analysis from isolated adult muscle nuclei revealed that Yap regulates a transcriptional profile associated with metabolic substrate utilisation. In line with these findings, increasing Yap abundance in the striated muscle of obese (db/db) mice enhanced energy expenditure and attenuated adiposity. Our results demonstrate a vital role for Yap as a mediator of skeletal muscle metabolism. Strategies to enhance Yap activity in skeletal muscle warrant consideration as part of comprehensive approaches to treat metabolic disease.

Abstract
Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is becoming a prevalent mental health concern around the world. However, the relationship among brain gray matter volume (GMV), emotion induced by decision-making and the level of reflection in IGD participants has not been fully elucidated to date. The current study aimed to explore this issue by combining a sequential decision task and voxel-based morphometry. Twenty-six IGD participants and 28 demographically matched healthy controls were recruited. After collecting Rumination-Reflection questionnaire data and high-resolution T1-weighted MRI data, participants were asked to complete a sequential decision task. The results demonstrated that compared to healthy controls, IGD participants exhibited significantly decreased GMV in the superior frontal gyrus (SFG). Moreover, GMV in the SFG of IGD participants fully mediated the impact of reflection level on the emotion of loss outcome during the sequential decision task. These results indicate that IGD is associated with reduced GMV in the SFG, and this structural change in IGD contributes to a particular relationship between the level of reflection and regret emotion for loss outcome in the sequential decision task.

Abstract
We report a unique multiyear L-band microwave radiometry dataset collected at the Maqu site on the eastern Tibetan Plateau and demonstrate its utilities in advancing our understandings of microwave observations of land surface processes. The presented dataset contains measurements of L-band brightness temperature by an ELBARA-III microwave radiometer in horizontal and vertical polarization, profile soil moisture and soil temperature, turbulent heat fluxes, and meteorological data from the beginning of 2016 till August 2019, while the experiment is still continuing. Auxiliary vegetation and soil texture information collected in dedicated campaigns are also reported. This dataset can be used to validate the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite based observations and retrievals, verify radiative transfer model assumptions and validate land surface model and reanalysis outputs, retrieve soil properties, as well as to quantify land-atmosphere exchanges of energy, water and carbon and help to reduce discrepancies and uncertainties in current Earth System Models (ESM) parameterizations. Measurement cases in winter, pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon periods are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the expression of circ-CCDC66 in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and cell lines, as well as its correlation with the prognosis of GC. Moreover, the regulatory effects of circ-CCDC66 on biological behaviors of GC cells and its molecular mechanism were explored. PATIENTS AND METHODS The relative expression level of circ-CCDC66 in GC tissues and cell lines was determined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). The correlation between the circ-CCDC66 level and overall survival of GC patients was analyzed as well. The potential influences of circ-CCDC66 on proliferative and invasive abilities of GC cells were evaluated through 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), colony formation and transwell assay, respectively. Meanwhile, the cell cycle progression and apoptosis of GC cells affected by circ-CCDC66 were determined. In addition, the direct target miRNA of circ-CCDC66 was predicted and verified by bioinformatics method and Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay, respectively. RESULTS Circ-CCDC66 was significantly up-regulated in GC tissues and cell lines. Up-regulation of circ-CCDC66 indicated markedly worse prognosis of GC patients. Transfection of circ-CCDC66-siRNA remarkably attenuated proliferative and invasive abilities of BGC-823 and MGC-803 cells. Besides, GC cells were arrested in the G0/G1 phase, and the apoptotic rate was remarkably elevated after circ-CCDC66 knockdown. The Dual-Luciferase reporter gene assay verified that circ-CCDC66 bind to miRNA-1238-3p by competing with LHX2 (LIM-homeobox domain 2). MiRNA-1238-3p was significantly down-regulated in GC cells, whereas LHX2 was up-regulated. Furthermore, overexpression of miRNA-1238-3p in GC cells markedly suppressed the LHX2 level. CONCLUSIONS Circ-CCDC66 is highly expressed in GC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circ-CCDC66 attenuates proliferative and invasive abilities of GC cells. Our results indicate that circ-CCDC66/miRNA-1238-3p/LHX2 axis may be a promising target for GC treatment.

Abstract
Most existing indoor navigation methods implicitly treat indoor users as ideal points. However, the ignorance of individual 3D indoor space needs may result in that navigation users do not have enough space or comfortable space to move in a real situation. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel human-oriented navigation approach that considers users' dimensions and interactions with indoor objects to establish comfortable navigable space. First, object space (O-Space) for users is derived according to their types (i.e., non-disabled people or disabled people) and functional space (F-Space) for indoor objects is determined according to their functions, locations, sizes, and interactions. Then, narrow gaps where users cannot pass through easily are calculated based on indoor obstacles defined by O-Space, the use of F-Space, and stationary objects. Finally, comfortable navigable space is established by excluding inappropriate sealed spaces that wrap indoor obstacles and narrow gaps of the entire indoor space. Two indoor navigation cases were conducted and the results demonstrate that our method could provide comfortable space and user-friendly paths that navigation users can navigate easily without stress. Furthermore, our method also shows great potential for improving user experience during navigation, especially in unfamiliar indoor environments and even emergencies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The longitudinal course of neuropsychological functioning after the first manic episode in bipolar disorder is unknown. The present study evaluated cognitive change in bipolar disorder in the first 3 years after the initial manic episode. METHODS Ninety-one newly diagnosed patients with bipolar disorder and 61 demographically similar healthy participants received a neuropsychological evaluation assessing multiple cognitive domains at baseline, 1-year, and 3-year time points. Patients also received clinical assessments including mood ratings at all time points. RESULTS Patients showed deficits in all domains at baseline, but similar longitudinal trajectories across time relative to healthy participants in most cognitive domains. For processing speed, patients showed more gains than controls from baseline to 1 year, but these gains stabilized thereafter. Patients with alcohol/substance abuse showed an initial delay but subsequent recovery in executive functioning. Patients who discontinued antipsychotic treatment showed better cognitive outcomes in verbal memory. CONCLUSION Appropriately treated patients with bipolar disorder showed favorable cognitive outcome in the first 3 years after experiencing an initial manic episode, arguing against cognitive neuroprogression at this stage of the illness. Discontinuation of antipsychotic treatment may be associated with better cognitive outcomes, but clarification of the role of antipsychotics on cognitive functioning requires further investigation.

Abstract
Abstract Postmortem changes on corpses appear immediately after death, and can transform the original structure characteristics of the corpse to different degrees as well as show specific changes on computed tomography (CT) images, sometimes with false positives and false negatives, influencing the identification of injuries or diseases. This paper systematically summarizes the postmortem changes of computed tomography imaging characteristics on corpses, to further expand the application of virtopsy in the practices of forensic pathology identification, and provide reference for the identification of injuries, diseases and changes after normal death.

Abstract
Stimuli related to the self are processed more efficiently in a variety of cognitive tasks. Recent studies have shown that this self-referential processing bias is modulated by emotion. However, a clear understanding of how emotional valence and arousal affect self-referential processing is still lacking. With a label-shape matching task, Experiment 1 measured a self-prioritisation effect in four different mood states. The results revealed stronger self-prioritisation effects in moods with higher arousal levels and a reliable correlation between the self-prioritisation effect and the arousal level reported by the participants; however, the effect of emotional valence was not statistically reliable. Experiment 2 further showed that alerting cues, known to raise arousal level, effectively increased the self-prioritisation effect in the same label-shape matching task. Experiment 3 clarified that alerting cues do not affect reward processing in a similar label-shape matching task, suggesting that arousal may selectively modulate self-referential processing. These observations provide clear evidence that emotional arousal modulates self-referential processing.

Abstract
The very-high-frequency gun (VHF-Gun) is a new concept photo-injector developed and built at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for generating high-brightness electron beams capable of driving X-ray free electron lasers (FELs) at MHz-class repetition rates. The gun that purposely uses established and mature radiofrequency and mechanical technologies has demonstrated over the last many years the capability of reliably operating in continuous wave mode at the design accelerating fields and required vacuum and mechanical performance. The results of VHF-Gun technology demonstration were reported elsewhere [Sannibale et al., Phys. Rev. Spec. Top.-Accel. Beams 15, 103501 (2012)]; here in this paper, we provide and analyze examples of the experimental results of the first high-brightness beam tests performed at the Advanced Photo-injector EXperiment test facility at LBNL that demonstrated the gun capability of delivering the beam quality required for driving high repetition rate X-ray FELs.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To quantitate breast cancer incidence (BrCa-I) and mortality (BrCa-M) outcome differences between the two Women's Health Initiative (WHI) HRT trials,1,2 the ratio of hazards was calculated for estrogen-alone based hormone replacement therapy (E-HRT) vs. placebo (P), and E + progestin Provera (ProgProv) combination HRT vs. P trials.
METHODS: Hazard ratios (HR) of BrCa-I and BrCa-M and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained from both WHI HRT trials. Subsequently, to compare BrCa outcomes between E-HRT vs. E + ProgProv, the ratios of HRs between the trials (HR1/HR2) were estimated separately for i. BrCa-I all women, ii. BrCa-I low Gail score (Gail score <1.75*), and iii. BrCa-M. The 95% CI was derived through logarithmic transformation of the 95% CI originally reported.
RESULTS:
Outcome Comparison, the two WHI HRT randomized trials. Ratio of Hazards, BrCa Incidence and BrCa mortality E-HRT vs. P, HR1 (95% CI)E-HRT + ProgProv vs. P, HR2 (95% CI)HR1/HR2 (95% CI)pBrCa-I All Woman10.77 (0.62-0.95)1.25 (1.07-1.46)0.62 (0.47-0.80)0.0004BrCa-I Low Gail Score* (Gail score <1.75)10.65 (0.50-0.86)1.24 (1.01-1.51)0.53 (0.38-0.74)0.0002BrCa-M20.55 (0.33-0.92)1.44 (0.97-2.15)0.38 (0.20-0.75)0.004*Gail score <1.75; HRs calculated from Reference 1, Figure 3
CONCLUSIONS: Our calculations show that the different outcomes between the two WHI HRT trials, estimated as ratio of hazards, are highly significant on statistical basis, both for BrCa incidence and for BrCa mortality. These findings highlight the potential carcinogenic impact of ProgProv and the major public health benefits of HRT based on E alone.

Abstract
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare, in the setting of breast cancer (BrCa) prevention, the impact of estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy (E-HRT) vs. tamoxifen (TAM) on breast cancer mortality (BrCa-M) and breast cancer case fatality ratio (BrCa-CFR), by analyzing data from the Women's Health Initiative Trial 2 (WHI HRT Trial 2, E-HRT vs. placebo [P])1 and the International Breast Cancer Intervention Study 1 (IBIS-1), TAM vs. P.2
METHODS: Hazard ratios (HR) and confidence intervals (CI) for BrCa incidence and mortality were extracted from the original WHI HRT Trial 2 and IBIS-1 trials.1,2 BrCa-CFRs were estimated by dividing the mortality HR by the incidence HR. Subsequently, to compare E-HRT vs. TAM outcomes, the ratios of HRs (HR1/HR2) between the two trials were estimated separately for BrCa-M and BrCa-CFR. The 95% CI was derived through logarithmic transformation of the 95% CI originally reported.
RESULTS:
Mortality and Case Fatality Outcomes: Impact of E-HRT versus TAM, expressed as ratio of HRs E-HRT vs. Placebo, HR1TAM vs. Placebo, HR2HR1/HR2pMortality0.55 (0.33-0.92)1.19 (0.68-2.10)0.46 (0.22-0.99)0.046Case Fatality0.70 (0.40-1.20)1.68 (0.93-3.01)0.42 (0.18-0.94)0.040
CONCLUSIONS: While acknowledging between-trial comparisons including eligibility differences, E-HRT yields significant reductions in BrCa mortality and case fatality as compared with TAM (54% and 58% respectively). These unexpected breast cancer mortality reductions represent major public health gains, additional to the already known superiority of E-HRT over TAM in terms of skeletal fracture rates and Alzheimer's dementia mortality reduction, and, in women entering menopause, also of cardiac and all-cause mortality reductions.

Abstract
Temporally modulated electron beams have a wide array of applications ranging from the generation of coherently enhanced electromagnetic radiation to the resonant excitation of electromagnetic wakefields in advanced-accelerator concepts. Likewise producing low-energy ultrashort microbunches could be useful for ultrafast electron diffraction and new accelerator-based light-source concepts. In this Letter we propose and experimentally demonstrate a passive microbunching technique capable of forming a picosecond bunch train at ∼6 MeV. The method relies on the excitation of electromagnetic wakefields as the beam propagates through a dielectric-lined waveguide. Owing to the nonultrarelativistic nature of the beam, the induced energy modulation eventually converts into a density modulation as the beam travels in a following free-space drift. The modulated beam is further accelerated to ∼20 MeV while preserving the imparted density modulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS This retrospective study purports to examine these characteristics and compare the surgical procedures available and appropriate for the treatment of patients affected by duodenal GISTs. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective examination of reports and studies carried out between May 2012 and March 2017, and covering patients with primary GISTs of the duodenum was performed using modules from the SPSS package. Comparisons of treatment effects resulting from the administration of two differential methods of surgical treatment namely pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and limited resection (LR), were effected on the reports of the GIST patients thus selected. RESULTS Out of these 62 patients who had undergone resection of duodenal GISTs, 47 (76%) had limited resection (LR) and 15 (24%) underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). In Multivariate analyses, tumor size was an independent predictive factor for recurrence (p=0.008). ASA, tumor size, and PD were independent and significant prognostic factors on OS (p=0.021, p=0.024, and p=0.030, respectively). In the very low and low risk group, and high-risk group, there were no significant differences in the RFS (recurrence-free survival) and OS (overall survival) between the LR and PD groups. CONCLUSIONS When technically feasible, LR should be given due consideration as a reliable and curative option for duodenal GISTs achieving satisfactory RFS and OS.

Abstract
We present new constraints on sub-GeV dark-matter particles scattering off electrons based on 6780.0 kg d of data collected with the DarkSide-50 dual-phase argon time projection chamber. This analysis uses electroluminescence signals due to ionized electrons extracted from the liquid argon target. The detector has a very high trigger probability for these signals, allowing for an analysis threshold of three extracted electrons, or approximately 0.05 keVee. We calculate the expected recoil spectra for dark matter-electron scattering in argon and, under the assumption of momentum-independent scattering, improve upon existing limits from XENON10 for dark-matter particles with masses between 30 and 100 MeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We present the results of a search for dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the mass range below 20 GeV/c^{2} using a target of low-radioactivity argon with a 6786.0 kg d exposure. The data were obtained using the DarkSide-50 apparatus at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. The analysis is based on the ionization signal, for which the DarkSide-50 time projection chamber is fully efficient at 0.1 keVee. The observed rate in the detector at 0.5 keVee is about 1.5 event/keVee/kg/d and is almost entirely accounted for by known background sources. We obtain a 90% C.L. exclusion limit above 1.8 GeV/c^{2} for the spin-independent cross section of dark matter WIMPs on nucleons, extending the exclusion region for dark matter below previous limits in the range 1.8-6 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Aberrantly overexpressed oncogenic microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are excellent targets for therapeutic interventions.
Aberrantly overexpressed oncogenic microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are excellent targets for therapeutic interventions. Nevertheless, thus far, little progress has been made in developing miRNA-based drugs and techniques for clinical applications, especially for overexpressed miRNAs. In this study, we demonstrate that self-assembled DNA nanostructures bearing multiple DNA sequences that are complementary to a target miRNA can effectively capture the overexpressed oncogenic miRNA and subsequently inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Specifically, a DNA nanotube structure that carries functional DNA segments (single-stranded, duplex and hairpin forms) was designed and synthesized to capture two well-known overexpressed miRNAs, miR-21 and miR-155. It was found that all three DNA nanotubes significantly reduced both miRNA levels and inhibited cancer cell growth. Moreover, the capture efficiency was highly concentration dependent and was associated with the structural design of the DNA nanotube. These results demonstrate that through careful design, programmable DNA nanostructures can hijack the natural cellular machinery and can serve as nucleic acid drugs themselves. The concept of using self-assembled DNA nanostructures to disrupt the intracellular machinery for therapeutic purposes opens a new paradigm for exploiting self-assembled DNA nanostructures for miRNA-based anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Background/Study Context: The face is the most distinctive physical feature of a person. Previous work has shown that one's own face (self-face) is advantageous in perception. Here the authors investigate how aging influences the configural and featural processing of self-face. METHODS Older and young adults searched for their own faces and faces of strangers (Experiment 1) or acquaintances (Experiment 2) among distractor faces. The configural and featural processing of faces was assessed with face inversion in Experiment 1 and with changes in point of view in Experiment 2. RESULTS Experiment 1 revealed a robust self-face advantage for upright faces in both young and older adults. A similar advantage was observed for inverted faces in young but not in older adults. Experiment 2 revealed a self-face advantage in older adults regardless of the point of view; in young adults, however, the self-face advantage only emerged for frontal view faces. CONCLUSION The present study shows that older adults have a self-face advantage in configural but not in featural processing. The authors suggest that the impairment in featural processing in older adults is likely the result of age-related changes in perceptual experience.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the application value of postmortem computed tomography (CT) angiography on diagnosis of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis degree. METHODS Based on the previous experimental results, the postmortem CT angiography device of human isolated heart was improved. Different coronary atherosclerotic stenosis degree of sudden death cases was selected. Before the cardiac anatomy, hearts were removed out completely and CT angiography was performed immediately. The CT angiography results were compared with histopathological findings. Meanwhile, the advantages and disadvantages of the angiography device before and after improvement were compared. RESULTS The improved angiography device of isolated heart could get better imaging results. The postmortem CT angiography results had high consistency with the histopathological findings on diagnosis of coronary atherosclerotic stenosis degree. And the coronary artery lesions could be revealed more objectively and vividly by 3D reconstruction technology. However, CT angiography could only be used to examine the pathological changes of blood vessels, which might have some limitations on the diagnosis of cause of death. CONCLUSIONS Postmortem CT angiography can be used as an additional method for the conventional autopsy in the cases of coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to determine if physical activity (PA) is a risk factor for persistent or recurrent hip pain in young and middle-aged persons with and without radiographic findings of cam or pincer morphology (CPM). METHODS A population sample of persons aged 20-49 with (cases) and without (controls) hip pain in Metro Vancouver, Canada, was selected through random digit dialing (RDD). Self-reported PA was expressed as average energy expenditure (MET-hours) per year, over lifetime. CPM was defined as alpha angle >55°, lateral centre edge angle (LCE) >40°, or positive cross-over sign. RESULTS Data were obtained for 500 subjects, 269 cases and 231 controls. Prevalence of radiographic CPM was 49% in the cases and 44% in the controls. In a logistic regression model adjusted for age, gender and CPM, total lifetime PA, including occupational, domestic and recreational activities, was significantly associated with hip pain (Odds ratio (OR) 1.30 per 1000 MET-hours, 95% CI 1.15-1.38). The effect of total PA was observed in those with CPM (1.44, 1.17-1.78) and without CPM (1.23, 1.04-1.45). For domestic activities, the association was seen only in those with CPM (significant interaction). When PA was categorized into quartiles, higher levels of PA were associated with a greater risk of pain. CONCLUSIONS PA, as measured by average energy expenditure over lifetime is a risk factor for hip pain in young and middle-aged persons. For some activities, the risk is likely increased in persons with radiographic evidence of CPM.
