Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths attributed to fine particulate matter (with an aerodynamic equivalent diameter <2.5 μm, PM2.5) exposure are a common global public health concern. Recent improvements in air quality and the corresponding health benefits have received much attention. Thus, we have explored the trends of PM2.5 pollution improvement on COPD deaths during an important period of air pollution control (2008-2017) in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China. Data, including daily COPD death counts, meteorological variables, and ambient air pollutants, were collected from 2008 to 2017. Generalized additive models were fitted to evaluate the percent change (%) in pollution-related COPD deaths. The results showed that the number of days with daily PM2.5 concentrations <35 μg/m3 increased from 19 days (5.19%) in 2008 to 166 days (45.48%) in 2017, and PM2.5 concentrations >75 μg/m3 decreased from 222 days (60.66%) in 2008 to 33 days (9.04%) in 2017. The associations in the overall period between 2008 and 2017 was significant. In subperiod analysis, each 10 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5 was associated with a percent change (%) of 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37, 1.42) at lag 5 and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.26, 1.30) at lag 6 during 2008-2013. Significant results were also found at lag 0-5 [percent change (%), 1.12 (95% CI, 0.09, 2.17)], lag 0-6 [percent change (%), 1.52 (95% CI, 0.43, 2.62)] and lag 0-7 [percent change (%), 1.72 (95% CI, 0.57, 2.88)] during 2008-2013. By contrast, no significant association was found between 2014 and 2017. In conclusion, the decreased COPD deaths associated with PM2.5 exposure were found, especially after the air quality improvement turning point in 2014.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sarcopenia's temporal profile can be regarded as a dynamic process with distinct states, in which malnutrition plays an important role. This study aimed to address two research gaps: sarcopenia's transitional dynamics and associations of nutritional indices with state transitions in community-dwelling Chinese adults aged 50 and older. DESIGN A prospective population-based cohort study. SETTING Community-based setting in western China. PARTICIPANTS The analytic sample included data from 1910 participants aged ≥ 50 in the West China Health and Aging Trend study between 2018-2022. MEASUREMENTS We defined three states: the initial normal state (normal muscle strength, physical performance and muscle mass), the worst sarcopenia state (low muscle mass plus low muscle strength and/or low physical performance) and the intermediate subclinical state (the other scenarios). The relevant measurement methods and cut-off points were based on the 2019 AWGS consensus. Using a continuous-time multistate Markov model, we calculated probabilities of transitions between different states over 1, 2 and 4 years; we also examined associations between nutritional indices and transitions, including body mass index (BMI), calf circumference (CC), mid-arm circumference (MAC), triceps skinfold thickness (TST), albumin (ALB), geriatric nutrition risk index (GNRI), vitamin D (VitD) and prealbumin (PA). RESULTS For individuals in the normal state, their probabilities of remaining stable versus progressing to a subclinical state were 53.4% versus 42.1% at 2 years, and 40.6% versus 49.0% at 4 years. In the subclinical population, their 2- and 4-year chances were 60.2% and 51.2% for maintaining this state, 11.8% and 16.2% for developing sarcopenia, 28.0% and 32.6% for reverting to normal. For sarcopenic individuals, the likelihood of staying stable versus retrogressing to the subclinical state were 67.0% versus 26.3% at 2 years, and 48.3% versus 36.3% at 4 years. Increased BMI, CC, MAC, TST, ALB, GNRI and PA correlated with reversion from the subclinical state, among which increased TST, ALB and PA were also paralleled with reversion from sarcopenia, while decreased BMI, CC, MAC, TST and GNRI were associated with progression to sarcopenia. VitD was not significantly associated with any transitions. CONCLUSION This study reveals how sarcopenia changes over time in a Chinese population. It also highlights the usefulness of simple and cost-effective nutritional status indices for indicating state transitions, which can help identify individuals at risk of sarcopenia and guide targeted interventions within the optimal time window.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) activation against acute lung injury in rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis and explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS Forty-eight SD rats were randomly assigned into control group, model group, CB2 agonist group and P38 MAPK inhibitor group (n=12). In the latter 3 groups, the rats received intraperitoneal injection of LPS to induce sepsis, and the control rats were given saline injection. In CB2 agonist group, JWH133 (3 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 30 min before LPS injection; in P38 MAPK inhibitor group, the rats received intraperitoneal injection of SB203580 (5 mg/kg) 30 min prior to JWH133 injection. The changes in lung histopathology, water content, fluid clearance rate, inflammatory factors, pulmonary expressions of CB2 and tight junctionrelated genes, and phosphorylation of P38 MAPK in the lung tissues were examined. RESULTS The rat models of sepsis showed severe damage of alveolar structures with significantly decreased fluid clearance rate, lowered pulmonary expressions of CB2, occludin and ZO-1 mRNA and proteins, increased water content in the lung tissue, and increased phosphorylation level of P38 MAPK and TNF-α and IL-1β levels in lung lavage fluid (all P < 0.05). Treatment with JWH133 improved alveolar pathology in the septic rats, but there was still inflammatory infiltration; lung tissue water content, phosphorylation of P38 MAPK, and TNF-α and IL-1β levels in lung lavage fluid were all significantly decreased, and the fluid clearance rate, pulmonary expressions of CB2, occludin and ZO-1 were significantly increased (all P < 0.05). Additional treatment with SB203580 resulted in further improvements of alveolar pathologies, lowered phosphorylation levels of P38 MAPK in the lung tissue and TNF-α and IL-1β levels in lung lavage fluid, and increased the protein expressions of occludin and ZO-1 (P < 0.05) without causing significant changes in mRNA and protein expression of CB2 (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION In rats with LPS-induced sepsis, activation of CB2 can inhibit the p38 MAPK signaling pathway, reduce the release of inflammatory factors in the lung tissues, promote tight junction protein expressions, and thus offer protection against acute lung injury.

Abstract
BackgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) represent the prototypical spondyloarthritides. PsA patients may also suffer from axial disease (axPsA). Despite overlapping symptoms, axPsA and AS may be distinct disorders with differing clinical manifestations, genetic associations, and radiographic findings.1 These disorders also respond differently to immunomodulatory therapies such as anti-interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitors. While guselkumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-23p19 subunit, improved symptoms of axPsA,2 risankizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-23p19 subunit, did not show improvement in the primary endpoint of proportion of AS patients achieving an Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society 40% (ASAS40) response at week (W) 12.3ObjectivesTo understand molecular distinctions between axPsA and AS to differentiate these diseases and guide treatment choice.MethodsWhole blood and serum samples were collected from consenting patients in the NCT03162796/NCT0315828 studies of guselkumab in PsA and the NCT02437162/NCT02438787 studies of ustekinumab in AS. axPsA patients were investigator-verified as having magnetic resonance imaging- or pelvic x-ray-confirmed sacroiliitis at screening (locally read). Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes were determined by RNA sequencing, limited to Caucasian patients to reduce genetic variability,4 and select serum cytokine levels were analyzed alongside samples from healthy individuals. Differential prevalence of HLA alleles in axPsA versus AS was determined using a Fisher’s Exact test. Statistical significance of differential baseline serum cytokine expression among axPsA versus non-axPsA versus AS patients, and of guselkumab effect on serum cytokine reduction versus placebo among axPsA and non-axPsA patients, were determined with a generalized linear model performed on log2-transformed data. Biomarker data from guselkumab every-4-weeks and every-8-weeks treatment arms were pooled.ResultsAmong the 186/234 Caucasian axPsA/AS patients with available data, 34%/15% were female, 70%/14% used methotrexate at baseline, mean serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were 2.8/2.4 mg/dL and mean Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) scores were 6.4/7.5, respectively. Aside from race, baseline demographics and disease characteristics were representative of the overall population. The prevalence of class I HLA allele -B27, -C01, and -C02 carriers was significantly lower in axPsA than AS patients (30.7% versus 92.3%, p<0.001; 5.9% versus 31.6%, p<0.001; and 28.0% versus 62.0%, p<0.001, respectively), while the prevalence of HLA-C06 was significantly higher in axPsA than AS populations (36.0% versus 8.6%, p<0.001). Baseline serum levels of IL-17A and IL-17F were significantly higher in axPsA (N=71) than in AS (N=58) patients (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). Comparable IL-17A/F expression was seen for axPsA and non-axPsA (N=229) patients (both p=not significant). Significant and comparable reductions from baseline in serum IL-17A/F in axPsA and non-axPsA patients were seen with guselkumab treatment (axPsA N=41, non-axPsA N=160) versus placebo (axPsA N=30, non-axPsA N=69) at W4/24 (all p<0.05).ConclusionAdults with axPsA and AS exhibit different genetic risk factors and serum IL-17 levels, supporting the concept of distinct disorders. Guselkumab demonstrated significant pharmacodynamic effects in axPsA patients that aligned with such effects in non-axPsA patients, consistent with observed clinical improvement.2References[1]Feld et al.

Abstract
Feed efficiency (FE) is a major economic trait of meat duck. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of residual feed intake (RFI) divergence on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and blood biochemical parameters in small-sized meat ducks. A total of 500 healthy 21-day-old male ducks were housed in individual cages until slaughter at 63 d of age. The growth performance was determined for all the ducks. The carcass yield, meat quality, and blood biochemical parameters were determined for the selected 30 high-RFI (HRFI) and 30 low-RFI (LRFI) ducks. In terms of growth performance, the RFI, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and average daily feed intake (ADFI) were found to be significantly lower in the LRFI group (P < 0.01), whereas no differences were observed in the BW and body weight gain (P > 0.05). For slaughter performance, no differences were observed in the carcass traits between the LRFI and HRFI groups (P > 0.05). For meat quality, the shear force of breast muscle was significantly lower in the LRFI group (P < 0.05), while the other meat quality traits of breast and thigh muscles demonstrated no differences (P > 0.05). For blood biochemical parameters, the serum concentrations of triglycerides (TG) and glucose (GLU) were significantly lower in the LRFI group (P < 0.05), while the other parameters showed no differences (P > 0.05). The correlation analysis demonstrated a high positive correlation between RFI, FCR, and ADFI (P < 0.01). The RFI demonstrated a negative effect on the breast muscle and lean meat yields, but a positive effect on the shear force of breast muscle (P < 0.05). Further, the RFI demonstrated a positive effect on the TG and GLU levels (P < 0.05). These results indicate that the selection for low RFI could improve the FE of small-sized meat ducks without affecting the production performance. This study provides valuable insight into the biological processes underlying the variations in FE in small-sized meat ducks.

Abstract
BackgroundSynovial tissue macrophages significantly contribute to Rheumatoid Arthritis, yet the precise nature/function of macrophage subsets within the inflamed joint remains unexplored.ObjectivesTo fully explore the spectrum of distinct macrophage activation states residing within the synovium of RA, at risk and healthy individuals.MethodsSingle-cell synovial tissue suspensions from RA (n=44), IAR (n=5), HC (n=11), PsA (n=11) and OA (n=4) were obtained, and synovial macrophage subsets examined by advanced multiparameter flow cytometric analysis, bulk RNA-sequencing, metabolic and functional assays.ResultsMultidimensional analysis identifies enrichment of CD206+CD163+ synovial-tissue macrophages co-expressing CD40 in the RA joint compared to healthy synovial-tissue, with frequency of CD206+CD163+CD40+ macrophages associated with increased disease activity and treatment response. In contrast, CX3CR1-expressing macrophages which form a protective barrier in healthy synovium are significantly depleted in RA. Importantly this signature of enriched CD40 expression coupled with depleted CX3CR1 expression is an early phenomenon, occurring prior to clinical manifestation of disease in individuals ‘at-risk’ of RA (IAR). RNAseq and metabolic profiling of sorted RA synovial-macrophages identified that this population is transcriptionally distinct, displaying unique inflammatory, phagocytic and tissue-resident gene signatures, paralleled by a bioenergetically stable profile as indicated by NAD(P)H emission. Functionally CD206+CD163+ RA macrophages are potent producers of pro-inflammatory mediators (reversed by CD40-signalling inhibition) and induce an invasive phenotype in healthy synovial-fibroblasts. These findings identify a distinct pathogenic population of synovial-tissue macrophage involved in shaping the immune response in RA. Crucially, this signature is present pre-disease representing a unique opportunity for early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.ConclusionWe have identified a novel population of tissue-resident macrophages in the RA synovium which are transcriptionally/metabolically distinct and capable of contributing to disease pathology. Uncovering the molecular patterns and cues that transform this immunoregulatory macrophage population into a dysfunctional inflammatory activation state may provide opportunities to reinstate joint homeostasis in RA patients.Disclosure of InterestsMegan Hanlon: None declared, Mary Canavan: None declared, Nuno Neto: None declared, Qingxuan Song Employee of: Employee of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Phil Gallagher: None declared, Ronan Mullan: None declared, Conor Hurson: None declared, Barry Moran: None declared, Michael Monaghan: None declared, Sunil Nagpal Employee of: Employee of Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Douglas Veale Consultant of: Janssen, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Ursula Fearon Consultant of: Janssen, Eli Lilly, Pfizer

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influenza and pneumonia vaccination rates in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and analyze the factors affecting vaccination. Methods: Totally 4 016 COPD patients at the initial visit were included in the Respiratory Department of Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from December, 2016 to December, 2019. Each patient's vaccination status after the visit for 1 year was reviewed, and finally 3 177 patients were included in the analysis. Relevant factors affecting vaccination were analyzed with logistic regression. Results: The overall vaccination rates of COPD patients with influenza vaccine, pneumonia vaccine and influenza combined pneumonia vaccine were 2.3% (72/3 177), 1.1% (34/3 177) and 1.1% (34/3 177), respectively. The influenza vaccination rate of urban patients (3.3%, 41/1 252) was higher than that of rural patients (1.6%, 31/1 925,P=0.002). The rates of influenza vaccine, pneumonia vaccine and influenza combined pneumonia vaccine in ex-smokers with COPD were 3.3% (33/993), 2.1% (21/993), 2.1% (21/993), respectively and 1.7% (25/1 467), 0.7% (11/1 467), 0.7% (11/1 467), in current smokers with COPD, respectively (P=0.034, P=0.015, P=0.015, respectively). The influenza vaccination rate was higher in patients with COPD assessment test (CAT) scored less than 10 (4%, 27/673) than patients with CAT scored more than 10 (1.8%, 45/2 504,P=0.002). In a multifactor analysis, patients who lived in country side, were current smokers, and had more symptoms were less likely to be vaccinated, with an aOR 1.73(95%CI 1.02-2.93), 2.10(95%CI 1.18-3.76), 2.06(95%CI 1.24-3.43), respectively. 81.2% of COPD patients did not receive the vaccine because they did not know the vaccine. Conclusions: Vaccination rates for influenza vaccine, pneumonia vaccine and both of them in COPD patients were low and the patients lacked knowledge of vaccine. The residence, smoking status and symptoms were related to the vaccination of COPD patients, and these should be taken into account in the vaccination health education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While three-dimensional susceptibility-weighted imaging has been widely suggested for intracranial vessel imaging, hemorrhage detection, and other neuro-diseases, its relatively long scan time has necessitated the clinical verification of recent progresses of fast imaging techniques. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of brain SWI accelerated by compressed sensitivity encoding to identify the optimal acceleration factors for clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-nine subjects, prospectively enrolled from 5 centers, underwent 8 brain SWI sequences: 5 different folds of compressed sensitivity encoding acceleration (CS2, CS4, CS6, CS8, and CS10), 2 different folds of sensitivity encoding acceleration (SF2 and SF4), and 1 without acceleration. Images were assessed quantitatively on both the SNR of the red nucleus and its contrast ratio to the CSF and, subjectively, with scoring on overall image quality; visibility of the substantia nigra-red nucleus, basilar artery, and internal cerebral vein; and diagnostic confidence of the cerebral microbleeds and other intracranial diseases. RESULTS Compressed sensitivity encoding showed a promising ability to reduce the acquisition time (from 202 to 41 seconds) of SWI while increasing the acceleration factor from 2 to 10, though at the cost of decreasing the SNR, contrast ratio, and the scores of visual assessments. The visibility of the substantia nigra-red nucleus and internal cerebral vein became unacceptable in CS6 to CS10. The basilar artery was well-distinguished, and diseases including cerebral microbleeds, cavernous angiomas, intracranial gliomas, venous malformations, and subacute hemorrhage were well-diagnosed in all compressed sensitivity encoding sequences. CONCLUSIONS Compressed sensitivity encoding factor 4 is recommended in routine practice. Compressed sensitivity encoding factor 10 is potentially a fast surrogate for distinguishing the basilar artery and detecting susceptibility-related abnormalities (eg, cerebral microbleeds, cavernous angiomas, gliomas, and venous malformation) at the sacrifice of visualization of the substantia nigra-red nucleus and internal cerebral vein.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the potential biomarkers and susceptible population for early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Ten hub differentially expressed TB-related genes (DETRGs) from GSE83456 dataset were screened with the "limma" package and the GeneCards database. Unsupervised clustering was utilized to identify susceptible population among TB patients based on 10 hub DETRGs. TRANSFAC, MirTarbase, miRanda and TargetScan was used to predict microRNAs and transcription factors (TFs) and construct TF-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. The results showed that a total of 266 DEGs were identified. Functional analysis mainly enriched in interferon pathway, cytokine and receptor interaction and host defense response to virus, while the four-module genes screened were closely related to interferon-γ signal transduction pathway as well. Based on 10 DETRGs, TB patients were divided into two clusters with significant differences in neutrophil function and 16 hub miRNAs and 10 hub TFs were predicted. Finally, NFATc1- (miR145) - STAT1 regulatory pathway was identified as the critical regulatory pathway, which mediates cytokine receptor binding, interleukin-1 receptor binding and TNF signaling pathway. Hence, we concluded that immunoheterogeneity exists among TB patients and NFATC1-(miR145)-STAT1 regulatory pathway might be associated with tuberculosis infection, which may be valuable targets for prevention and treatment of tuberculosis.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Fusion genes are chromosomal aberrations in malignancies that can be used as prognostic markers as well as therapeutic targets. The FGFR3-TACC3 (F3-T3) was initially discovered as an oncogenic molecule in glioblastoma and bladder cancer and subsequently found in many other cancer types. Based on clinical evidence, F3-T3 was found in glioblastoma patients before and after TMZ and radiotherapy treatment, suggesting that targeting F3-T3 is a valid strategy for glioblastoma treatment.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We profiled the proteins that interacted with F3-T3 fusion protein in U-251 MG cells with F3-T3 through 2-D liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. To validate the result of proteomic analysis, we performed reverse immunoprecipitation by pulling down Hsp90 or Cdc37 in U-251 MG cells stably expressing F3-T3. To inhibit the association between F3-T3 and the Hsp90-Cdc37 complex, we treated U-251 MG and LN-229 cells stably expressing F3-T3 with Hsp90 inhibitors or siRNA of Cdc37. We applied the CCK8 assay to evaluate the sensitivity of glioblastoma cells stably expressing F3-T3, wild-type FGFR3, kinase-dead F3-T3 (K508R), and empty vectors to TMZ. Immunoblot and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect DNA damage marker pH2AX. The drug combination effect index was analyzed using software CalcuSyn. U-251 MG cells stably expressing F3-T3 infected with luciferase virus were intracranially injected in nude mice. The experimental group was administered with temozolomide (5mg/kg/day) by oral gavage, Hsp90 inhibitor Onalespib (30mg/kg/day) by tail vein injection or the combination of the two for indicated days.
RESULTS
We identified the proteins that showed increased binding ratios to F3-T3 over full-length FGFR3, the molecular chaperone proteins encoded by the genes HSP90AB1, HSP90AA1, and CDC37 emerged as 5th, 6th, and 7th on the top ten list, showing an approximately 4-fold increase in normalized spectral counts. Using Hsp90 inhibitors or Cdc37 siRNA disrupted the formation of the F3-T3/Hsp90/Cdc37 complex. Disruption of Hsp90-Cdc37 chaperoning caused a ubiquitination-mediated degradation of the glycosylated form of F3-T3 and abrogated the maturation of nascent F3-T3, resulting in suppression of F3-T3 signaling pathways. Additionally, our results provide evidence that the F3-T3 signaling pathway confers drug resistance to TMZ induced DNA damage. However, the resistance of TMZ was disrupted in glioblastoma cells harboring kinase-dead F3-T3 (K508R). We also demonstrated Hsp90 inhibitor significantly sensitized glioblastoma cells harboring the F3-T3 fusion gene to TMZ treatment and improved survival of xenograft model bearing F3-T3 tumor in vivo.
CONCLUSION
F3-T3 is a strong Hsp90 client that shows strong addiction to the Hsp90-Cdc37 chaperone system. Combination therapy with Hsp90 inhibitor overcomes the TMZ resistance conferred by F3-T3.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the method and plausibility of using free rectus abdominis flap (FRAF) to reconstruct the major and complex defects in the craniofacial regions after ablation of advanced sinonasal carcinoma. Methods: From 2007 to 2018 at No. 980 Hospital of Joint Logistic Supportive Force of People's Liberation Army of China, 13 patients with advanced carcinoma of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, including 11 males and 2 females, aged from 33 to 67 years, were treated with FRAF to repair the invasion of skull base, face and orbit. Based on adequate and meticulous preoperative evaluations on patients and tumors, complete resection of tumor bulks was performed. According to the sites, characters and extents of the defects, FRAF was introduced in different ways into reconstruction of major and complex defects in the craniofacial regions after resection of advanced sinonasal carcinomas, restoring the structure and contour of the craniofacial region. Results: Complete resection of tumors was achieved in all cases. For repairing the major and complex defects resulted from tumor ablation, FRAF graft was conducted in 13 patients with advanced sinonasal carcinomas. The recipient vessels were facial artery and vein in 9 cases, superficial temporal artery and vein in 4 cases. Vascular bridging with the external jugular vein was carried out in 2 cases who underwent submandibular neck dissections, in which facial artery and vein were used as recipient vessels. Free fibular flap was used along with FRAF in a case undergone bilateral maxillectomy. Pedicled galea capitis and periosteal flap were applied simultaneously in 3 cases with dura defects at the skullbase resulted from tumor resection. All flaps used in 13 cases survived uneventfully without major complications, with successful repair of defects, reconstruction of structures and restoration of contour of craniofacial regions. Conclusion: With adequate evaluation of resectability of tumors as well as nature and extent of defects after tumor removal, FRAF transplantation is an ideal method and strategy of choice for reconstructing the major and complex defects in craniofacial regions resulted from tumor ablation of advanced sinonasal carcinomas.

Abstract
Background:Synovial tissue macrophages are an exquisitely plastic pool of innate cells that play a key role in RA disease progression. However, the precise nature, diversity, and function of macrophage subsets within the inflamed joint remains unexplored.Objectives:Therefore, the aims of this study are to phenotypically, transcriptionally and functionally characterise synovial tissue macrophages residing within the inflamed joint.Methods:Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and healthy control synovial-tissue biopsies and synovial-fluid mononuclear cells were analysed using the following panel (CD40,-CD45,-CD64,-CD68,-CD163,-CD206,-CD253,-CCR4,-CCR7,-CXCR1,-CXCR3). CD206+CD163+ and CD206-CD163- macrophages were sorted from RA synovial-tissue by FACSAria sorter; RNAseq and FLIM analysis, autologous T-cell co-culture and heathy fibroblast experiments performed. Cytokine expression was measured by MSD immunoassay.Results:RA synovial tissue and fluid macrophages display markers typical of both M1 (CD40+CD253+) and M2 (CD206+CD163+) macrophages with a spectrum of macrophage activation states identified. Within this spectrum, significant enrichment of dominant CD206+CD163+ macrophage-subtype is present in synovial tissue versus fluid (p<0.05). CD206+CD163+ synovial tissue macrophages express significantly more CD40 than synovial fluid (p<0.0003), positively correlate with disease activity (r=0.6, p<0.01), with baseline levels predicting response to therapy (p<0.05). Moreover, CD206+CD163+CD40+ macrophages are enriched in RA synovial tissue compared to PsA and OA pathotypes (p<0.05). While the CD206+CD163+ subset is present in healthy synovial tissue, expression of CD40 is completely absent in healthy synovium (p<0.05) with dramatically decreased expression of CX3CR1 on RA macrophages. RNA-seq analysis indicates that CD206+CD163+ population is transcriptionally distinct from synovial tissue CD206-CD163-, synovial fluid CD206+CD163+, and RA monocyte-derived M1/M2 macrophages, with unique tissue-resident gene signatures. Moreover, differing metabolic demands between CD206+CD163+ and CD206-CD163- subsets was demonstrated by RNAseq and FLIM analysis. CD206+CD163+ macrophages enhance autologous T-cell responses, spontaneously secrete high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activate healthy fibroblasts towards pro-inflammatory mechanisms thus further contributing to the local inflammatory response. Finally, inhibition of CD40 activity abrogates the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators (TNFa, IL-1B, IL-6, IFNy) and induces IL-10 expression in sorted CD206+CD163+ synovial tissue-macrophages suggesting a key role for CD40 in driving this pathogenic phenotype.Conclusion:This data identifies for the first-time enrichment of a previously undescribed dysfunctional dominant and transcriptionally distinct macrophage subtype in RA synovial tissue. Taken together, this data provides a greater understanding of the critical role tissue-resident macrophages play in perpetuating inflammation in RA. Further investigation of the molecular patterns and cues that shape specific synovial macrophage subsets may provide opportunities to reinstate RA joint homeostasis.Disclosure of Interests:Megan Hanlon: None declared, Mary Canavan: None declared, Qingxuan Song Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, Nuno Neto: None declared, Phil Gallagher: None declared, Ronan Mullan: None declared, Conor Hurson: None declared, Michael Monaghan: None declared, Sunil Nagpal Employee of: Janssen Research & Development, Douglas Veale Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Janssen, Novartis, MSD, Pfizer, UCB, Consultant of: Abbvie, Janssen, Novartis, MSD, Pfizer, UCB, Grant/research support from: Janssen, Abbvie, Pfizer, UCB, Ursula Fearon Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Grant/research support from: Janssen, Abbvie, Pfizer, UCB

Abstract
Background:Guselkumab (GUS), an interleukin-23 p19-subunit monoclonal antibody, demonstrated efficacy compared with placebo (PBO) in reducing signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the phase 3 DISCOVER-1 & 2 studies.1,2Objectives:To evaluate gene expression in the blood of PsA patients (pts) in the DISCOVER-1 & -2 studies and the impact of GUS on the expression of these genes.Methods:Pts were treated with GUS 100 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W); GUS 100 mg at W0, W4, then Q8W; or matching PBO. Whole transcriptome profiling by RNA-sequencing was performed using the Novaseq platform on blood samples obtained from a subset of 673 pts with PsA at baseline across the 2 DISCOVER studies, as well as from 21 demographically (age, sex, and ethnicity) matched healthy controls procured independently of the clinical program. A subgroup (N=227) also had serial blood samples (W0/W4/W24) evaluated; the subgroup pts were selected based on having baseline characteristics (demographics, disease activity, medication use) representative of the overall cross-study PsA population. Significance of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PsA and healthy controls was defined by a false discovery rate (FDR) <0.05 based on a log-linear model using edgeR. Top genes were defined by significance and |logFC| >1. For cell type analysis, genes that changed with GUS treatment were tested for enrichment using Cibersort. Gene enrichment scores were calculated using Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA).Results:To define disease genes, we compared genes at baseline in pts with active PsA vs. healthy control whole blood transcriptomes and detected 355 upregulated and 314 downregulated (top genes shown in Table 1), defined here as core disease genes. Upregulated genes were largely related to neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and extracellular matrix, whereas downregulated genes were related to T cells. The upregulated disease genes were significantly decreased and the downregulated disease genes were significantly increased by GUS treatment vs. PBO at W4 and W24 (Fig 1). Upon stratification by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75% response and American College of Rheumatology 20% response, changes in core disease gene expression from W0 were statistically significant among responders, but not in non-responders, at W4 and W24 (data not shown). We then performed the second differential expression analysis comparing baseline to W4 and W24 for both PBO and GUS treatment arms to define genes that change with treatment arm over time. At W4 and W24 we found many DEGs from baseline with GUS treatment and none with PBO. These included genes related to B-, T-, NK-, and plasma cells (increased by GUS) and neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, and macrophages (decreased by GUS), suggestive of a partial normalization of immune cell composition in whole blood.Conclusion:Using whole transcriptome profiling, we detected DEGs in blood samples obtained from PsA pts vs. healthy controls, suggesting a dysregulation of immune cell profiles in PsA. The majority of these disease-associated genes were modulated by GUS, with directionality toward a normalization of whole blood transcriptomic signatures.References:[1]Deodhar A et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The clinical practice of three-dimensional TOF-MRA, despite its capability in brain artery assessment, has been hampered by the relatively long scan time, while recent developments in fast imaging techniques with random undersampling has shed light on an improved balance between image quality and imaging speed. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of TOF-MRA accelerated by compressed sensitivity encoding and to identify the optimal acceleration factors for routine clinical use. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred subjects, enrolled at 5 centers, underwent 8 brain TOF-MRA sequences: 5 sequences using compressed sensitivity encoding with acceleration factors of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (CS2, CS4, CS6, CS8, and CS10), 2 using sensitivity encoding with factors of 2 and 4 (SF2 and SF4), and 1 without acceleration as a reference sequence (RS). Five large arteries, 6 medium arteries, and 6 small arteries were evaluated quantitatively (reconstructed signal intensity, structural similarity, contrast ratio) and qualitatively (scores on arteries, artifacts, overall image quality, and diagnostic confidence for aneurysm and stenosis). Comparisons were performed among the 8 sequences. RESULTS The quantitative measurements showed that the reconstructed signal intensities of the assessed arteries and the structural similarity consistently decreased as the compressed sensitivity encoding acceleration factor increased, and no significant difference was found for the contrast ratios in pair-wise comparisons among SF2, CS2, and CS4. Qualitative evaluations showed no significant difference in pair-wise comparisons among RS, SF2, and CS2 (P > .05). The visualization of all the assessed arteries was acceptable for CS2 and CS4, while 2 small arteries in images of CS6 were not reliably displayed, and the visualization of large arteries was acceptable in images of CS8 and CS10. CONCLUSIONS CS4 is recommended for routine brain TOF-MRA with balanced image quality and acquisition time; CS6, for examinations when small arteries are not evaluated; and CS10, for fast visualization of large arteries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Connexin 43 (Cx43) is the most ubiquitously expressed member of the family of connexins, constituting gap junctions and mediating cell communication, still its role in hearing loss has been little studied. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression pattern of Cx43. Spiral ganglia neurons (SGNs) and Corti co-culture were utilized to assay the re-innervation of hair cells by newborn SGNs. Gap19 was utilized to inhibit Cx43 hemichannels. Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and endocochlear potential (E.P.) were measured to confirm the hearing loss. RESULTS The expression of Cx43 in P14 mice was higher than in P0 and P28 (adult) mice, the earlier time point coinciding with the early inner ear development. Additionally, the growth and synapse generation of fibers were inhibited after Gap 19 treatment of the co-cultures of the Corti and SGNs from newborn mice. Furthermore, the inhibition of Cx43 could increase the ABR threshold and decrease E.P. level in postnatal mice, whereas such an effect was not observed in adult mice. CONCLUSION The function of Cx43 is critical during the early development of mouse cochlea but is dispensable in adult mice.

Abstract
Any arbitrary state of polarization of light beam can be decomposed into a linear superposition of two orthogonal oscillations, each of which has a specific amplitude of the electric field. The dispersive nature of diffractive and refractive optical components generally affects these amplitude responses over a small wavelength range, tumbling the light polarization properties. Although recent works suggest the realization of broadband nanophotonic interfaces that can mitigate frequency dispersion, their usage for arbitrary polarization control remains elusively chromatic. Here, we present a general method to address broadband full-polarization properties of diffracted fields using an original superposition of circular polarization beams transmitted through metasurfaces. The polarization-maintaining metasurfaces are applied for complex broadband wavefront shaping, including beam deflectors and white-light holograms. Eliminating chromatic dispersion and dispersive polarization response of conventional diffractive elements lead to broadband polarization-maintaining devices of interest for applications in polarization imaging, broadband-polarimetry, augmented/virtual reality imaging, full color display, etc.

AIM To explore the applicability of diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) sequence quantitative parameters in differentiating uterine sarcoma (USr) from degenerative uterine fibroids (DUF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fourteen cases of USr and 30 cases of DUF were analysed retrospectively. The diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and DTI images were analysed by two observers using Functool software on a ADW4.6 workstation. The images were post-processed to generate an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map of DWI, ADC map of DTI (ADCT map), and fractional anisotropy (FA) map. Three regions of interest (ROI) were selected from the ADC, ADCT, and FA maps to obtain the ADC, ADCT, and FA values. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of all parameters were used to analyse and compare the diagnostic value of USr and DUF. RESULTS The ADC value, ADCT value, and FA value of USr (1.190 ± 0.262 × 10-3mm2/s, 1.165 ± 0.270 × 10-9mm2/s, 0.168 ± 0.063) were significantly lower compared to the values for DUF (1.525 ± 0.314 × 10-3mm2/s, 1.650 ± 0.332 × 10-9mm2/s, 0.254 ± 0.111; all p<0.001). The diagnostic threshold values for USr were: ADC ≤1.290 × 10-3mm2/s, ADCT ≤1.322 × 10-9mm2/s and FA ≤0.192. The corresponding sensitivities and specificities were 78.6%/90%, 96.7%/92.9%, and 86.7%/85.7%, respectively. The areas under the curve (AUC) were 0.875, 0.974, and 0.831, respectively. CONCLUSIONS DTI quantitative parameters can be used to differentiate USr from DUF. The ADCT value had the highest diagnostic efficacy.

Abstract
To have a better understanding of how the “gut–liver axis” mediates the lipid deposition in the liver, a comparison of overfeeding influence on intestine physiology and microbiota between Gang Goose and Tianfu Meat Goose was performed in this study. After force-feeding, compared with Gang Goose, Tianfu Meat Goose had better fat storage capacity in liver (397.94 vs. 166.54 for foie gras weight (g), P < 0.05; 6.37 vs. 2.92% for the ratio of liver to body, P < 0.05; 60.01 vs. 46.64% for fat content, P < 0.05) and the less subcutaneous adipose tissue weight (1240.96 g vs. 1440.46 g, P < 0.05). After force-feeding, the digestion–absorption capacity of Tianfu Meat Goose was higher than that of Gang Goose (5.56 vs. 3.64 and 4.63 vs. 3.68 for the ratio of villus height to crypt depth in duodenum and ileum, respectively, P < 0.05; 1394.96 vs. 782.59 and 1314.76 vs. 766.17 for the invertase activity (U/mg-prot), in duodenum and ileum, respectively, P < 0.05; 6038.36 vs. 3088.29 and 4645.29 vs. 3927.61 for the activity of maltase (U/mg-prot), in duodenum and ileum, respectively, P < 0.05). Force-feeding decreased the gene expression of Escherichia coli in the ileum of Tianfu Meat Goose; force-feeding increased the number of gut microbiota Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus-Polymerase Chain Reaction band in Tianfu Meat Goose and decreased the number in Gang Goose. In conclusion, compared with Gang Goose, the lipid deposition in the liver and the intestine digestion–absorption capacity and stability were higher in Tianfu Meat Goose. Thereby, Tianfu Meat Goose is the better breed for foie gras production for prolonged force-feeding; Gang Goose possesses better fat storage capacity in subcutaneous adipose tissue. However, Gang Goose has lower gut stability responding to force-feeding, so Gang Goose is suited to force-feeding in a short time to gain the body weight and subcutaneous fat as an overfed duck for roast duck.

Abstract
Objective: To establish and validate a radiomics nomogram based on MR for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis in laryngeal cancer. Methods: One hundred and seventeen patients with laryngeal cancer who underwent MR examinations and received open surgery and neck dissection between January 2016 and December 2019 were included in this study. All patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n=89) and test cohort (n=28) using computer-generated random numbers. Clinical characteristics and MR were collected. Radiological features were extracted from the MR images. Enhanced T1 and T2WI were selected for radiomics analysis, and the volume of interest was manually segmented from the Huiyihuiying radiomics cloud platform. The variance analysis (ANOVA) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were used to reduce the dimensionality of the radiomics features in the training cohort. Then, a radiomic signature was established. The clinical risk factors were screened by using ANOVA and multivariate logistic regression. A nomogram was generated using clinical risk factors and the radiomic signature. The calibration curve and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve were used to confirm the nomogram's performance in the training and test sets. The clinical usefulness of the nomogram was evaluated by decision curve analysis (DCA). Furthermore, a testing cohort was used to validate the model. Results: The radiomics signature consisted of 21 features, and the nomogram model included the radiomics signature and the MR-reported lymph node status. The model showed good calibration and discrimination. The model yielded areas under the ROC curve (AUC) in the training cohort, specificity, and sensitivity of 0.930, 0.930 and 0.875. In the test cohort, the model yielded AUC, specificity and sensitivity of 0.883, 0.889 and 0.800. DCA indicated that the nomogram model was clinically useful. Conclusion: The MR-based radiomics nomogram model may be used to predict cervical lymph node metastasis of laryngeal cancer preoperatively. MR-based radiomics could serve as a potential tool to help clinicians make an optimal clinical decision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subsequent to the implementation of the universal salt iodisation policy, China has all but eliminated the iodine deficiency disorders. However, pregnant women are still experiencing mild iodine deficiency. The present study explored factors that could relate to mild iodine deficiency in pregnant women. METHODS In total, 2400 pregnant women were enrolled using a multistage, stratified, random sampling method in Shanghai. Data were collected via a standardised questionnaire. The urine samples and household cooking salt samples were collected for the detection of urinary iodine and salt iodine concentrations. RESULTS The median urinary iodine concentration (MUIC) was 148.0 μg L-1 for all participants, and 155.0 μg L-1 , 151.0 μg L-1 and 139.6 μg L-1 in the first, second and third trimesters. The MUIC in the third trimester was significantly lower than that of the first trimester (P < 0.05). The usage rates of iodised salt and qualified-iodised salt were 71.5% and 59.4%, respectively. Iodine-related knowledge score composition ratio was significantly different between the high and low UIC groups (P < 0.05). Participants' MUIC increased significantly with the increases in iodine-related knowledge score (P < 0.001). The third trimester was a significant risk factor for high UIC, whereas high iodine-related knowledge score, actively learning dietary knowledge and having a habit of consuming iodine-rich food were significant protective factors for high UIC (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Iodine level is adequate among pregnant women in Shanghai during the first and the second trimesters, although it is is insufficient in the third trimester. Good iodine-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviours are important for pregnant women with respect to maintaining adequate urinary iodine.

Abstract
Leaf senescence is a complex and precise regulatory process that is correlated with numerous internal and environmental factors. Leaf senescence is tightly related to the redistribution of nutrients, which significantly affects productivity and quality, especially in crops. Evidence shows that the mediation of transcriptional regulation by WRKY transcription factors is vital for the fine-tuning of leaf senescence. However, the underlying mechanisms of the involvement of WRKY in leaf senescence are still unclear in wheat. Using RNA sequencing data, we isolated a novel WRKY transcription factor, TaWRKY40-D, which localizes in the nucleus and is basically induced by the progression of leaf senescence. TaWRKY40-D is a promoter of natural and dark-induced leaf senescence in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and wheat. We also demonstrated a positive response of TaWRKY40-D in wheat upon jasmonic acid (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. Consistent with this, the detached leaves of TaWRKY40-D VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) wheat plants showed a stay-green phenotype, while TaWRKY40-D overexpressing Arabidopsis plants showed premature leaf senescence after JA and ABA treatment. Moreover, our results revealed that TaWRKY40-D positively regulates leaf senescence, possibly by altering the biosynthesis and signalling of JA and ABA pathway genes. Together, our results suggest a new regulator of JA- and ABA-related leaf senescence, as well as a new candidate gene that can be used for molecular breeding in wheat.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of heat waves and ozone on hypertensive rats. Heat wave and ozone pollution were simulated on the Shanghai Meteorological and Environmental Animal Exposure System. Eighteen hypertensive rats were randomly divided into a control group, an ozone group, and a heat wave plus ozone group. The experimental groups were transferred to the exposure system for exposure to the ozone and heat wave plus ozone. After exposure, blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta, and the hearts were harvested in all groups. The concentrations of inflammatory factors, vasomotion factors, cardiovascular risk factors, oxidative stress and thrombosis factors and heat stress factors in heart tissue were measured in each rat. Ozone exposure and heat wave plus ozone exposure increased the levels of inflammatory factors, thrombosis factors, vasomotion factors and cardiovascular risk factors, except for HDL-C, which was reduced. Moreover, experimental exposure increased the heat stress factors and oxidative stress, except for SOD, which was decreased. These data demonstrated that both ozone exposure and heat wave plus ozone exposure could adversely affect hypertensive rats, and that heat wave may enhance the toxic effect of ozone exposure.

Abstract
Anthracnose (ANT) and angular leaf spot (ALS) caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Pseudocercospora griseola, respectively, are devastating diseases of common bean around the world. Therefore, breeders are constantly searching for new genes with broad-spectrum resistance against ANT and ALS. This study aimed to characterize the genetic resistance of California Dark Red Kidney (CDRK) to C. lindemuthianum races 73, 2047, and 3481 and P. griseola race 63-39 through inheritance, allelism testing, and molecular analyses. Genetic analysis of response to ANT and ALS in recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a CDRK × Yolano cross (CY) showed that the resistance of CDRK cultivar is conferred by a single dominant loci, which we named CoPv01CDRK/PhgPv01CDRK. Allelism tests performed with race 3481showed that the resistance gene in CDRK is independent of the Co-1 and Co-AC. We conducted co-segregation analysis in genotypes of 110 CY RILs and phenotypes of the RILs in response to different races of the ANT and ALS pathogens. The results revealed that CoPv01CDRK and PhgPv01CDRK are coinherited, conferring resistance to all races. Genetic mapping of the CY population placed the CoPv01CDRK/PhgPv01CDRK loci in a 245 Kb genomic region at the end of Pv01. By genotyping 19 RILs from the CY population using three additional markers, we fine-mapped the CoPv01CDRK/PhgPv01CDRK loci to a smaller genomic region of 33 Kb. This 33 Kb region harbors five predicted genes based on the common bean reference genome. These results can be applied in breeding programs to develop bean cultivars with ANT and ALS resistance using marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs), the neurohormones synthesized in the insect corpora cardiaca are known to mobilize lipids and carbohydrates for energy-consuming activities including reproduction. However, both inhibitory and stimulatory effects of AKHs on insect reproduction have been reported, and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Using the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, as a model system, we report here that AKHs are expressed in response to rhythmic diel change, and AKH III expression increases markedly at photophase. Diurnal injection of AKH III but not AKH I or AKH II in adult females stimulates vitellogenesis and egg development. In contrast, AKH treatment at scotophase represses female reproduction. RNA interference-mediated knockdown of AKH receptor (AKHR) results in significantly reduced vitellogenin (Vg) expression in the fat body at photophase along with reduced Vg deposition in the ovary. AKHR knockdown also leads to decreased expression of Brummer, triacylglycerol lipase and trehalose transporter, accompanied by suppressed mobilization of triacylglycerol and trehalose. We propose that in addition to stimulating Vg expression at photophase, AKH/AKHR signalling is likely to regulate ovarian uptake of Vg via triacylglycerol mobilization and trehalose homeostasis. This study provides new insights into the understanding of AKH/AKHR signalling in the regulation of insect reproduction.

Abstract
Background:Immune checkpoint blockade with agents targeting CTLA4 and PD-1/PD-L1 alone or in combination has demonstrated exceptional efficacy in multiple cancer types by “unleashing” the cytotoxic action of quiescent, tumor-infiltrating T cells. However, the therapeutic action of these immunotherapies goes hand in hand with the loss of immune tolerance and appearance of immune-related adverse events such as colitis, arthralgia and inflammatory arthritis in responsive patients. Therefore, immune checkpoint molecules have been proposed as targets for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.Objectives:Herein, we interrogate the potential of BTLA/HVEM axis as a target for restoring immune homeostasis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Sjogren’s Syndrome (SjS) by examining their expression patterns in autoimmune disease tissues.Methods:Message and protein expression of BTLA and HVEM were examined in RA and SLE synovial tissues, SLE cutaneous lesions, SjS salivary glands and peripheral blood samples of autoimmune disease by RNA sequencing and flow cytometry.Results:Tissue dysregulation of the BTLA-HVEM axis was observed: Increased BTLA RNA level in RA synovium, SLE-affected skin, and SjS salivary gland samples, whereas HVEM level was affected only in the RA synovium when compared to unaffected tissues. Detailed immunophenotyping of B, T, and myeloid cell populations in RA, SLE, SjS and healthy control PBMCs revealed differential modulation of the BTLA+ or HVEM+ immune cell subsets in a disease-context dependent manner. SjS patients showed an overall decrease in memory B cells and most of the BTLA+ B cell subsets while a decrease in HVEM+ B cells was observed only in SLE PBMC samples and not RA and SLE samples. Immunophenotyping with a T cell panel exhibited decreased BTLA and HVEM expression on T cell subsets in SjS and SLE but not in RA patients. In addition, protein levels of HVEM were differentially decreased in SLE myeloid cell subsets. Finally, we demonstrate tissue-specific surface expression patterns of BTLA in RA and SLE samples: higher surface BTLA levels on RA and SLE PBMC B cells than matched tissue-derived B cells.Conclusion:Our results demonstrate a dysregulation of the BTLA/HVEM axis in either lesional tissue or peripheral blood in an autoimmune disease context-dependent manner. These results also indicate the potential of targeting BTLA-HVEM axis for the treatment of multiple autoimmune diseases.Disclosure of Interests:Sunil Nagpal Shareholder of: Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Employee of: Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Suzanne Cole Shareholder of: Janssen Research & Development employee, Employee of: Janssen Research & Development employee, Achilleas Floudas: None declared, Mihir Wechalekar Grant/research support from: Grant from Janssen Research & Development, Qingxuan Song Shareholder of: Employee of Janssen Research, Employee of: Employee of Janssen Research, Tom Gordon: None declared, Roberto Caricchio Grant/research support from: Financial grant from Janssen Research & Development, Douglas Veale: None declared, Ursula Fearon: None declared, Navin Rao Shareholder of: Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Employee of: Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Ling-Yang Hao Shareholder of: Employee of Janssen Research, Employee of: Employee of Janssen Research

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various minimally invasive approaches have been described for infected necrotizing pancreatitis. This article describes a modified minimal-access retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy (MARPN) procedure assisted by gas insufflation. METHODS This retrospective, observational study documented patients who had undergone a step-up MARPN between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2016. A minimum follow-up of 1 year was required for inclusion. The step-up approach involved percutaneous catheter drainage followed by the modified MARPN and necrosectomy. If more than one access site was needed it was categorized as complex MARPN. RESULTS Of 212 patients with infected necrotizing pancreatitis, 164 (77·4 per cent) underwent a step-up approach. The median number of percutaneous catheter drains and MARPN procedures was 3 (range 1-7) and 1 (1-6) respectively. Ninety patients (54·9 per cent) underwent complex MARPN. For residual necrosis after MARPN, three patients (1·8 per cent) underwent sinus tract gastroscopy, and 11 (6·7 per cent) had sinography combined with a tube change. However, operations in 13 patients (7·9 per cent) required conversion to open surgery. Postoperative complications developed in 103 patients (62·8 per cent). The mortality rate was 6·1 per cent (10 deaths). CONCLUSION A step-up approach using a modified MARPN for infected necrotizing pancreatitis is a reasonable option.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP or CREBBP) plays important roles in regulating gene transcription and animal development. However, the process by which CBP is up-regulated to impact insect development is unknown. In this study, the regulatory mechanism of Bombyx mori CBP (BmCBP) expression induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) was investigated. In the Bo. mori cell line, DZNU-Bm-12, 20E enhanced BmCBP transcription and histone H3K27 acetylation. BmCBP RNA interference (RNAi) resulted in decreased histone H3K27 acetylation. Additionally, the luciferase activity analysis revealed that the transcription factor, Bo. mori CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein gamma (BmC/EBPg), activated BmCBP transcription, which was suppressed by BmC/EBPg RNAi and promoted by BmC/EBPg overexpression. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation results demonstrated that BmC/EBPg could bind to the C/EBP cis-regulatory elements in two positions of the BmCBP promoter. Moreover, BmC/EBPg transcription was enhanced by the 20E receptor (BmEcR), which bound to the BmC/EBPg promoter. BmEcR RNAi significantly inhibited the transcriptional levels of BmC/EBPg and BmCBP in the presence of 20E. Furthermore, the BmEcR-BmC/EBPg pathway regulated the acetylation levels of histone H3K27. Altogether, these results indicate that BmEcR enhances the expression of BmC/EBPg, which binds to the BmCBP promoter, activates BmCBP expression and leads to histone H3K27 acetylation.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different rearing methods and stocking densities on carcass yield and proximate composition of meat in small-sized meat ducks. A total of 555 one-day-old birds were randomly allocated to six treatment groups (three replicates per treatment, sex ratio 1/1) with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of two rearing methods (reared in cage or net) and three stocking densities (5 [low], 7 [medium], or 9 [high] birds/m2) until day 70. Five male and five female birds from each replicate were randomly selected and processed to determine the carcass yield. Proximate composition was determined by proximate analysis using the breast and thigh muscles. There was no interaction effect between the rearing method and stocking density on carcass yield. The rearing method affected the thigh muscle rate, which was higher in the cage groups (P < 0.05). The final BW and abdominal fat rate decreased with increasing density (P < 0.05), whereas the thigh muscle rate increased (P < 0.05). There were significant interaction effects (P < 0.05) between the rearing method and stocking density on the content of protein, fat, and collagen. The content of fat and moisture was greater and lower, respectively, in the cage groups (P < 0.05). The content of moisture, fat, and collagen with a medium density was higher (P < 0.05). In addition, the content of protein and fat was lower in the ducks fed in nets at low and high densities (P < 0.05), respectively; the collagen content of breast and thigh muscle was lower in the ducks fed in cages and nets, respectively, at a low density (P < 0.05). Our findings provide valuable insights into the single and interactive effects of the rearing method and stocking density on duck slaughter performance and proximate composition of meat. The results indicate that a rearing system with a cage pattern and a medium density is better than other arrangements for small-sized meat ducks.

Abstract
High-precision radiometric calibration (RC) coefficients are required to retrieve reliable water quality parameter products in turbid inland/coastal waters. However, unreliable RC coefficients when satellite sensors lack accurate and in-time RC may lead to pronounced uncertainties in the products through error propagation. To address this issue, a novel approach for estimating water quality parameters, taking suspended particulate matter (SPM) as a case, was proposed by coupling the procedures of RC and SPM model development. The coupled models were established using digital numbers (DNs) from target sensors and "in-situ" SPM measurements from concurrent well-calibrated reference sensors, with the RC coefficients introduced as unknown model parameters. The approach was tested and validated in varied Chinese inland/coastal regions, including the Hongze lake (HL), Taihu lake (TL), and Hangzhou bay (HB). The results show: (1) the DN-based SPM models can achieve a degree of accuracy comparable to reflectance-based SPM models with determination coefficients (R2) of 0.94, 0.92, and 0.72, and root-mean-square errors (RMSE) of 7.02 mg/L, 15.73 mg/L, and 619.2 mg/L for the HL, TL, and HB, respectively, and the biases less than 3% between the derived and official gain RC coefficients; (2) the uncertainty of SPM products increases exponentially as the RC uncertainty increases for exponential reflectance-based SPM models; (3) the DN-based SPM models are less sensitive to the uncertainties of atmospheric correction and RC coefficients, while the reflectance-based models suffer deeply. This study provides encouraging results to the improvement of SPM retrieval using the DN-based models by coupling RC and SPM retrieving processes, especially for sensors without precise RC coefficients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of miR-124Aa on the proliferation, invasion and cytokine excretion of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PATIENTS AND METHODS RASFs were separated for in-vitro culture, and transfected using lipidosome that connected with chemically synthesized miR-124a mimic or miR-124a inhibitor. Then, MTT, transwell chamber, and flow-cytometry were used to detect the impact on the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of RASFs; RT-PCR and Western-blotting were employed to measure the effect of miR-124a on the expressions of matrixmetalloproteinase3/13 (MMP3/13) and interleukin1β (IL-1β) of RASFs. RESULTS miR-124a significantly suppresses the proliferation of RASFs, while inhibits the invasion of RASFs. The flow cytometry indicated that miR-124a showed no significant effect on the apoptosis of RASFs. Finally, miR-124a downregulates the expressions of MMP3/13 and IL-1β. CONCLUSIONS MiR-124a is of great significance for the onset of RA by inhibiting the proliferation and invasion of RASFs possibly through downregulating the expression of MMP3/13 and IL-1β.
