Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the alterations in cortical-cerebellar circuits and assess their diagnostic potential in preschool children with autism spectrum disorder using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS We utilized diffusion basis spectrum imaging approaches, namely DBSI_20 and DBSI_combine, alongside 3D structural imaging to examine 31 autism spectrum disorder diagnosed patients and 30 healthy controls. The participants' brains were segmented into 120 anatomical regions for this analysis, and a multimodal strategy was adopted to assess the brain networks using a multi-kernel support vector machine for classification. RESULTS The results revealed consensus connections in the cortical-cerebellar and subcortical-cerebellar circuits, notably in the thalamus and basal ganglia. These connections were predominantly positive in the frontoparietal and subcortical pathways, whereas negative consensus connections were mainly observed in frontotemporal and subcortical pathways. Among the models tested, DBSI_20 showed the highest accuracy rate of 86.88%. In addition, further analysis indicated that combining the 3 models resulted in the most effective performance. CONCLUSION The connectivity network analysis of the multimodal brain data identified significant abnormalities in the cortical-cerebellar circuits in autism spectrum disorder patients. The DBSI_20 model not only provided the highest accuracy but also demonstrated efficiency, suggesting its potential for clinical application in autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.

Abstract
Background The imbalance between M1 and M2 macrophage activation is closely associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Sulforaphane (SFN) plays an important role in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Objective To investigate the effect of SFN on macrophage polarization and its underlying regulatory mechanism. Methods Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were treated with SFN and an Nrf2 inhibitor, Brusatol. M1 macrophages were induced by LPS and IFN-γ stimulation, whereas M2 macrophages were induced by stimulation with IL-4 and IL-13. LPS-stimulated BMDMs were co-cultured with Caco-2 cells. Flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and Western blot were performed to assess macrophage polarization. Cell function was assessed using CCK8 assay, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) assay, and biochemical analysis. Results Higher concentrations of SFN resulted in better intervention effects, with an optimal concentration of 10 μM. SFN decreased the levels of IL-12, IL-6, and TNF-α, as well as the percentages of CD16/32 in M1 BMDMs. At the same time, SFN increased the levels of YM1, Fizz1, and Arg1 as well as the percentages of CD206+ cells in M2 BMDMs. In addition, SFN enhanced the accumulation of Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 in M1 BMDMs, and the downregulation of Nrf2 reversed the regulatory effect of SFN on M1/M2 macrophages. LPS-stimulated BMDMs induced Caco-2 cell damage, which was partially alleviated by SFN. Conclusion Our findings indicate that SFN may act as an Nrf2 agonist to regulate macrophage polarization from M1 to M2. Furthermore, SFN may represent a potential protective ingredient against IBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict cancer survival have recently been reported for a number of sarcoma subtypes, but none have investigated undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). ML is a powerful tool that has the potential to better prognosticate UPS. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was queried for cases of histologically confirmed undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) (n = 665). Patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics were recorded, and ML models were developed to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival. The best performing ML model was externally validated using an institutional cohort of UPS patients (n = 151). RESULTS All ML models performed best at the 1-year time point and worst at the 5-year time point. On internal validation within the SEER cohort, the best models had c-statistics of 0.67-0.69 at the 5-year time point. The Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP) model was the best performing model and used for external validation. Similarly, the MLP model performed best at 1-year and worst at 5-year on external validation with c-statistics of 0.85 and 0.81, respectively. The MLP model was well calibrated on external validation. The MLP model has been made publicly available at https://rachar.shinyapps.io/ups_app/ . CONCLUSION Machine learning models perform well for survival prediction in UPS, though this sarcoma subtype may be more difficult to prognosticate than other subtypes. Future studies are needed to further validate the machine learning approach for UPS prognostication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a serious threat to human health, and tumor development is associated with abnormal mitochondrial function. It is believed that the introduction of healthy mitochondria into tumor cells can induce the oxidative stress in tumor cells to return to normal levels, thus exerting an inhibitory effect on tumor growth. METHODS Mitochondria isolated from 143BρW cells were co-cultured with HuCCT1 cells, and the mitochondria were stained with MitoTracker dye as a tracking label. Changes in apoptosis, proliferation, oxidative stress, and PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were assessed. In addition, a CCA nude mouse transplantation tumor model was constructed to analyze the effects of mitochondrial transplantation on the above factors in nude mice. Furthermore, the expression of PTEN was interfered to observe the effect and mechanism of mitochondrial transplantation on the proliferation and apoptosis of CCA cells. RESULTS Mitochondrial transplantation promoted apoptosis and inhibited cell proliferation in CCA cell line. SOD, GSH, and CAT activities were significantly increased, the expression of PTEN was activated, and the expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT were inhibited after mitochondrial transplantation. After mitochondrial transplantation + si-PTEN treatment, cell apoptosis, SOD, GSH, CAT activity, and the expression of PTEN were decreased, while the expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT were significantly enhanced. CONCLUSION This study reveals the anti-tumor potential of mitochondrial transplantation through PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to regulate cellular oxidative stress in CCA.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor, and its pathogenesis is still not fully understood. Studies have shown that SMAD7 gene polymorphisms can affect CRC susceptibility, but the results have been inconsistent and require additional confirmation. Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of SMAD7 variants on the risk of CRC in the Chinese Han population. A total of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SMAD7 were genotyped among 696 CRC patients and 696 healthy participants using the MassARRAY iPLEX platform. SNPs were evaluated for their associations with CRC using logistic regression analysis under multiple genetic models. The false-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis was used to validate the positive findings. Our study indicated that rs11874392 showed an increased association with CRC risk (odds ratio, 1.31; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.67; p = 0.024). Stratified analysis showed that rs11874392 might increase the risk of CRC in females (OR = 1.70, p = 0.028), individuals with smoking (OR = 1.87, p = 0.026), and drinking (OR = 1.38, p = 0.027). The rs11874392 was found to be related to an elevated risk of rectal cancer (OR = 1.73, p = 0.003), but not with colon cancer. FPRP analysis demonstrated that all of these associations were statistically significant (FPRP <0.2). Additionally, rs11874392 was the strongest predictive model for CRC. This study provides evidence that the SMAD7 rs11874392 is related to an increased susceptibility to CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Itch (pruritus) is a common unpleasant feeling, often accompanied by the urge of scratching the skin. It is the main symptom of many systemic and skin diseases, which can seriously affect the patient's quality of life. Geraniol (GE; trans-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol) is a natural monoterpene with diverse effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-nociceptive, and anticancer properties. The study aims to examine the effects of GE on acute and chronic itch, and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Acute itch was investigated by using Chloroquine and compound 48/80 induced model, followed by manifestation of diphenylcyclopropenone (DCP)-induced allergic contact dermatitis and the acetone-ether-water (AEW)-induced dry skin model in mice. The scratching behavior, skin thickness, c-Fos expression, and GRPR protein expression in the spinal cord were subsequently monitored and evaluated by behavioral tests as well as pharmacological and pharmacogenetic technologies. RESULTS Dose-dependent intraperitoneal injection of GE alleviated the acute itch, induced by chloroquine and compound 48/80, as well as increased the spinal c-Fos expression. Intrathecal administration of GE suppressed the GABAA receptor inhibitor bicuculline-induced itch, GRP-induced itch, and the GABAergic neuron inhibition-induced itch. Furthermore, the subeffective dose of bicuculline blocked the anti-pruritic effect of GE on the chloroquine and compound 48/80 induced acute itch. GE also attenuated DCP and AEW-induced chronic itch, as well as the increase of spinal GRPR expression in DCP mice. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS GE alleviates both acute and chronic itch via modulating the spinal GABA/GRPR signaling in mice. Findings of this study reveal that GE may provide promising therapeutic options for itch management. Also, considering the pivotal role of essential oils in aromatherapy, GE has great application potential in aromatherapy for treating skin diseases, and especially the skin with severe pruritus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a widespread chronic metabolic disease that significantly impairs quality of life. Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of both acupuncture and acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) in the management of obesity. However, the superiority of acupuncture combined with ACE over acupuncture alone remains a subject of controversy. This study aims to elucidate this controversy and provide robust clinical evidence. METHODS A comprehensive search of relevant literature from the initiation to July 2022 was carried out in 8 databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane database, Web of Science, CBM Database, CNKI, Wan-fang Database, and VIP Database). We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the treatment of simple obesity using acupuncture paired with ACE, with acupuncture alone as the control group. The pooled outcomes included body mass index (BMI), body weight (BW), %BF, waist circumference (WC), hip circumferences (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), therapeutic effective rate (TER), and adverse events. Two independent reviewers performed screening (using EndNote X9) and quality assessment (using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool) for the included studies. with the software RevMan 5.3 was used to perform pooling of effect sizes. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). RESULTS A total of 20 trials involving 15 datasets (1616 participants) were included. The findings demonstrated significant improvements in outcome measures when acupuncture was combined with ACE, compared with acupuncture alone (BMI: MD = -1.49 kg/m2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -1.93 to -1.04, P < .01; BW: MD = -2.38, 95% CI = -3.86 to -0.89, P < .01; %BF: MD = -2.19, 95% CI = -3.23 to -1.15, P < .01; WC: MD = -2.01, 95% CI = -3.66 to -0.35, P < .05; HC: MD = -0.83, 95% CI = -1.64 to -0.02, P < .05; WHR: MD = -0.02, 95% CI = -0.03 to -0.01, P < .01; TER: OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.93-3.74, P < .01). Adverse effects were reported in 4 studies. CONCLUSION SUBSECTIONS The results of this meta-analysis indicate that acupuncture combined with ACE is superior to acupuncture alone in the treatment of obesity, which is supported by the subgroup analysis. The assessment of efficacy may have been influenced by variations in study quality, potentially amplifying the observed effects. RCTs with larger sample sizes and improved methodological quality are needed to enhance the validity of the findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insects rely on chemosensory perception, mainly olfaction, for the location of mates, food sources, and oviposition sites. Plant-released volatile compounds guide herbivorous insects to search for and locate their host plants, further helping them to identify suitable positions for oviposition. The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (S. frugiperda) was found to invade China in 2019 and has since seriously threatened multiple crops, particularly maize and rice. However, the chemical and molecular mechanisms underlying oviposition preference in this pest are not fully understood. Here, the oviposition preference of S. frugiperda on maize and rice plants was investigated. RESULTS GC-EAD and GC-MS/MS techniques were used to identify the antennally active volatiles from maize and rice plants. The attraction and oviposition stimulation of identified components to female adults were tested in both laboratory and field settings. The odorant receptors (ORs) on female antennae were expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and their functions evaluated by RNAi. Ten and eleven compounds of maize and rice plants, respectively, were identified to possess electrophysiological activity from headspace volatiles. Among these compounds, (Z)-3-hexenyl-acetate specifically presented in maize volatiles was found to play a critical role in attracting females and stimulating oviposition compared to rice volatiles. Among the cloned ORs on the antennae of both sexes, SfruOR23 with highly female-biased expression mediated the responses of females to (Z)-3-hexenyl-acetate. Knockdown of SfruOR23 using RNAi markedly reduced the electrophysiological response of female antennae and oviposition preference to the compound. CONCLUSIONS (Z)-3-Hexenyl-acetate is a key volatile mediating the host and oviposition preference of S. frugiperda on maize. The olfactory receptor of (Z)-3-hexenyl-acetate was identified to be SfruOR23, which is mainly expressed in the antennae of S. frugiperda.

Abstract
Antisense long noncoding RNA (as-lncRNA) is a lncRNA transcribed in reverse orientation that is partially or completely complementary to the corresponding sense protein-coding or noncoding genes. As-lncRNAs, one of the natural antisense transcripts (NATs), can regulate the expression of their adjacent sense genes through a variety of mechanisms, affect the biological activities of cells, and further participate in the occurrence and development of a variety of tumours. This study explores the functional roles of as-lncRNAs, which can cis-regulate protein-coding sense genes, in tumour aetiology to understand the occurrence and development of malignant tumours in depth and provide a better theoretical basis for tumour therapy targeting lncRNAs.

Abstract
CaFCD1 gene regulates pepper cuticle biosynthesis. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an economically important vegetable crop that easily loses water after harvesting, which seriously affects the quality of its product. The cuticle is the lipid water-retaining layer on the outside of the fruit epidermis, which regulates the biological properties and reduces the rate of water-loss. However, the key genes involved in pepper fruit cuticle development are poorly understood. In this study, a pepper fruit cuticle development mutant fcd1 (fruit cuticle deficiency 1) was obtained by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis. The mutant has great defects in fruit cuticle development, and the fruit water-loss rate of fcd1is significantly higher than that of the wild-type '8214' line. Genetic analysis suggested that the phenotype of the mutant fcd1 cuticle development defect was controlled by a recessive candidate gene CaFCD1 (Capsicum annuum fruit cuticle deficiency 1) on chromosome 12, which is mainly transcribed during fruit development. In fcd1, a base substitution within the CaFCD1 domain resulted in the premature termination of transcription, which affected cutin and wax biosynthesis in pepper fruit, as revealed by the GC-MS and RNA-seq analysis. Furthermore, the yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase reporter assays verified that the cutin synthesis protein CaCD2 was directly bound to the promoter of CaFCD1, suggesting that CaFCD1 may be a hub node in the cutin and wax biosynthetic regulatory network in pepper. This study provides a reference for candidate genes of cuticle synthesis and lays a foundation for breeding excellent pepper varieties.

Abstract
The environmental pollutant Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) has an adverse effect on the reproductive performance of mammals. We previously showed that BaP treatment during early pregnancy damages endometrial morphology and impairs embryo implantation. Endometrial decidualization at the implantation site (IS) after embryo implantation is crucial for pregnancy maintenance and placental development. The balance between proliferation and differentiation in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) is a crucial event of decidualization, which is regulated by the cell cycle. Here, we report that abnormal decidualization caused by BaP is associated with cell cycle disturbance of stromal cells. The mice in the treatment group were gavaged with 0.2 mg/kg/day BaP from day 1-8 of pregnancy, while those in control were gavaged with corn oil in parallel. BaP damaged the decidualization of ESCs and reduced the number of polyploid cells. Meanwhile, BaP up-regulated the expression of Ki67 and PCNA, affecting the differentiation of stromal cells. The cell cycle progression analysis during decidualization in vivo and in vitro showed that BaP induced polyploid cells deficiency with enhanced expressions of CyclinA(E)/CDK2, CyclinD/CDK4 and CyclinB/CDK1, which promote the transformation of cells from G1 to S phase and simultaneously activate the G2/M phase. The above results indicated that BaP exposure accelerates cell cycle progression, promotes ESC proliferation, inhibits differentiation, and impedes proper decidualization and polyploidy development. Thus, the imbalance of ESC proliferation and differentiation would be an important mechanism for BaP-induced defective decidualization.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) has been associated with an impairment in glymphatic function. Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XFZYD) is widely used in the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that Xuefu Zhuyu decoction pretreatment could attenuate early neurological deficits after ischemic stroke by enhancing the function of the glymphatic system. To prove our hypothesis, we carried out temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion surgery on C57BL/6 mice and then measured neurological score, infarct size and performed hematoxylin-eosin staining to assess stroke outcomes after 24 h of reperfusion. Subsequently, we injected fluorescent tracers in to the cisterna magna and evaluated tracer distribution in coronal brain sections. The polarization of aquaporin-4 (AQP4), colocalization of aquaporin-4, α-dystroglycan, β-dystroglycan and agrin were determined by immunofluorescence. Our research showed that pretreatment with Xuefu Zhuyu decoction significantly alleviated neurological scores, neurological deficits and pathological abnormalities in a mouse model of ischemic stroke. Importantly, Xuefu Zhuyu decoction pretreatment enhanced cerebrospinal fluid influx, protected aquaporin-4 depolarization and promoted the colocalization of aquaporin-4 with its anchoring proteins in the brain. Our findings highlight novel mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effect of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction pretreatment on ischemic stroke-induced brain damage through the glymphatic system. Xuefu Zhuyu decoction pretreatment may offer a promising approach to slow the onset and progression of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
ObjectiveConstraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a common treatment for upper extremity motor dysfunction after a stroke. However, whether it can effectively improve lower extremity motor function in stroke patients remains controversial. This systematic review comprehensively studies the current evidence and evaluates the effectiveness of CIMT in the treatment of post-stroke lower extremity motor dysfunction.MethodsWe comprehensively searched randomized controlled trials related to this study in eight electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, WAN FANG, and VIP). We evaluated CIMT effectiveness against post-stroke lower extremity motor dysfunction based on the mean difference and corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI). We assessed methodological quality based on the Cochrane Bias Risk Assessment Tool. After extracting the general information, mean, and standard deviation of the included studies, we conducted a meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16.0. The primary indicator was the Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale on lower limbs (FMA-L). The secondary indicators were the Berg balance scale (BBS), 10-meter walk test (10MWT), gait speed (GS), 6-min walk test (6MWT), functional ambulation category scale (FAC), timed up and go test (TUGT), Brunnstrom stage of lower limb function, weight-bearing, modified Barthel index (MBI), functional independence measure (FIM), stroke-specific quality of life questionnaire (SSQOL), World Health Organization quality of life assessment (WHOQOL), and National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS).ResultsWe initially identified 343 relevant studies. Among them, 34 (totaling 2,008 patients) met the inclusion criteria. We found that patients treated with CIMT had significantly better primary indicator (FMA-L) scores than those not treated with CIMT. The mean differences were 3.46 (95% CI 2.74–4.17, P < 0.01, I2 = 40%) between CIMT-treated and conventional physiotherapy-treated patients, 3.83 (95% CI 2.89–4.77, P < 0.01, I2 = 54%) between patients treated with CIMT plus conventional physiotherapy and patients treated only with conventional physiotherapy, and 3.50 (95% CI 1.08–5.92, P < 0.01) between patients treated with CIMT plus western medicine therapy and those treated only with western medicine therapy. The secondary indicators followed the same trend. The subgroup analysis showed that lower extremity CIMT with device seemed to yield a higher mean difference in FMA-L scores than lower extremity CIMT without device (4.52, 95% CI = 3.65–5.38, P < 0.01 and 3.37, 95% CI = 2.95–3.79, P < 0.01, respectively).ConclusionCIMT effectively improves lower extremity motor dysfunction in post-stroke patients; however, the eligible studies were highly heterogeneous.Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=277466.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, we have reported the chemical composition of Equisetum arvense essential oil and the anti-cancer activity of the plant against the prostate cancer cell line. The essential oil was obtained using the hydro-distillation assay. The chemical composition was identified using the gas chromatographic methods including gas chromatography/flame ionization detector and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The antioxidant activity of the essential oil and extract was evaluated using classical methods. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was run to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of the essential oil and extract on the prostate cancer cell line of lymph node carcinoma of the prostate. The induction apoptosis of the extract was analyzed by a flow cytometer. Thymol acetate (14.7%), trans-carveol (12.5%), thymol (11.8%), and δ-elemene (9.4%) were identified as the main compounds for the essential oil. The extract scavenged the free radical of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 15.2 ± 1.4 μg/mL for the plant extract. In the MTT assay, the IC50 of the extract and essential oil were 25.2 ± 0.3 and 218.9 ± 10.7 μg/mL after 72 h. The highest apoptosis was 31.6% for the plant extract. The obtained results of the present study revealed that E. arvense can be introduced as a potent agent to prevent the growth of prostate tumors.

Abstract
Teacher beliefs are a pivotal psychological quality for sustainable teacher development. Previous studies have mainly focused on the beliefs of English-as-a-second/foreign-language (ESL/EFL) teachers, while little attention has been paid to those of Chinese-as-an-additional-language (CAL) teachers. Particularly, there is a paucity of effort made to develop and validate instrument for measuring pre-service CAL teacher beliefs. Therefore, to further quantify the beliefs of CAL teachers is increasingly called for as an essential means to help teachers sensitize their beliefs system and promote teacher development as a sustainable goal. To be specific, the present study aims to construct a scale for gauging beliefs of pre-service CAL teachers. It firstly conceptualizes the dimensions of pre-service CAL teacher beliefs by means of semantic analysis with ROST CM6, and then cross-validates the reliability and validity of the scale with psychometric methods. Two independent samples composed of 221 and 222 pre-service CAL teachers participated in a questionnaire survey. The two samples were utilized for later Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), respectively. The two data sets have satisfactory psychometric results, all confirming that the scale subsumes three factors: Beliefs about Chinese Language Teaching (BCLT), Beliefs about Chinese Language (BCL), and Beliefs about Chinese Language Learners (BCLL). The scale validated in the present study contributes to research on pre-service CAL teacher beliefs, and provides implications for sustainable pre-service CAL teacher training.

Abstract
Thalassemia is one of southern China's most common inherited disorders. Little is known about the genotypes of thalassemia in children in Jiangxi Province, the People's Republic of China (PRC). Two thousand, nine hundred and fifty-two children with suspected thalassemia were recruited from August 2016 to December 2020 at the Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital, Nanchang, PRC. Reverse dot-blot hybridization was used to detect α- and β-thalassemia (α- and β-thal) genotypes. A rare mutation was detected using gap-polymerase chain reaction (gap-PCR) and gene sequencing. The overall distribution of thalassemia (1534 cases) was 51.96%, and the detection rate of α-thal (616 cases), β-thal (888 cases) and concurrent α- and β-thalassemias (30 cases) was 20.86, 30.08, and 1.02%, respectively. A rare α-thal genotype, -α27.6/- -SEA (Southeast Asian), was identified. Seventy-eight cases of severe β-thal were detected, accounting for 8.78% of the cases, including 56 double heterozygous cases and 22 cases that were homozygous. Both α- and β-thalassemias are widely distributed in the children of Jiangxi Province. Thalassemia genetic testing is essential to establish a comprehensive thalassemia prevention program and improve public education.

Abstract
IntroductionAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. The biological mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AD aren’t completely clear. Studies have shown that the gut microbiota could be associated with AD pathogenesis; however, the pathways involved still need to be investigated.AimsTo explore the possible pathways of the involvement of gut microbiota in AD pathogenesis through metabolites and to identify new AD biomarkers.MethodsSeven-month-old APP/PS1 mice were used as AD models. The Morris water maze test was used to examine learning and memory ability. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and widely targeted metabolomics were used to identify the gut microbiota composition and fecal metabolic profile, respectively, followed by a combined analysis of microbiomics and metabolomics.ResultsImpaired learning abilities were observed in APP/PS1 mice. Statistically significant changes in the gut microbiota were detected, including a reduction in β-diversity, a higher ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota, and multiple differential bacteria. Statistically significant changes in fecal metabolism were also detected, with 40 differential fecal metabolites and perturbations in the pyrimidine metabolism. Approximately 40% of the differential fecal metabolites were markedly associated with the gut microbiota, and the top two bacteria associated with the most differential metabolites were Bacillus firmus and Rikenella. Deoxycytidine, which causes changes in the pyrimidine metabolic pathway, was significantly correlated with Clostridium sp. Culture-27.ConclusionsGut microbiota may be involved in the pathological processes associated with cognitive impairment in AD by dysregulating pyrimidine metabolism. B. firmus, Rikenella, Clostridium sp. Culture-27, and deoxyuridine may be important biological markers for AD. Our findings provide new insights into the host-microbe crosstalk in AD pathology and contribute to the discovery of diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for AD.

Abstract
Background Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) reveals abnormalities in patients with autism spectrum syndrome (ASD). Previous connectome studies of ASD have failed to identify the individual neuroanatomical details in preschool-age individuals. This paper aims to establish an individual morphological connectome method to characterize the connectivity patterns and topological alterations of the individual-level brain connectome and their diagnostic value in patients with ASD. Methods Brain sMRI data from 24 patients with ASD and 17 normal controls (NCs) were collected; participants in both groups were aged 24-47 months. By using the Jensen-Shannon Divergence Similarity Estimation (JSSE) method, all participants's morphological brain network were ascertained. Student's t-tests were used to extract the most significant features in morphological connection values, global graph measurement, and node graph measurement. Results The results of global metrics' analysis showed no statistical significance in the difference between two groups. Brain regions with meaningful properties for consensus connections and nodal metric features are mostly distributed in are predominantly distributed in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and cortical regions spanning the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes. Consensus connectivity results showed an increase in most of the consensus connections in the frontal, parietal, and thalamic regions of patients with ASD, while there was a decrease in consensus connectivity in the occipital, prefrontal lobe, temporal lobe, and pale regions. The model that combined morphological connectivity, global metrics, and node metric features had optimal performance in identifying patients with ASD, with an accuracy rate of 94.59%. Conclusion The individual brain network indicator based on the JSSE method is an effective indicator for identifying individual-level brain network abnormalities in patients with ASD. The proposed classification method can contribute to the early clinical diagnosis of ASD.

Abstract
Objective: This was a large-scale multicenter study with two objectives. One was to study the factors influencing pedestrian smartphone use while crossing roads, and the other was to study the effect of combined visual and auditory intervention on smartphone zombies (smombies) at crossroads. Methods: This study was conducted in four different Chinese cities. By observing pedestrians crossing intersections, the weather, time, and characteristics of the pedestrians were recorded by four researchers. Then, its influencing factors and the effects of the intervention were studied in two consecutive periods. Results: A total of 25,860 pedestrians (13,086 without intervention and 12,774 with visual and auditory intervention) were observed in this study. Logistic regressions showed that gender, age of the pedestrians, weather, and time were the factors influencing smombies crossing roads. The number of smartphone users decreased from 4,289 to 3,579 (28.1%) (χ2 = 69.120, p < 0.001) when the intervention was conducted. Conclusion: Based on large-sample, multicenter research, this study revealed the factors influencing pedestrian smartphone use while crossing roads, contributing to our understanding of the current situation of smombies in China. Furthermore, the effect of visual and auditory intervention was demonstrated, providing a new paradigm for global prevention of smombie behavior.

Abstract
Sleep contributes to the maintenance of overall health and well-being. There are a growing number of patients who have headache disorders that are significantly affected by poor sleep. This is a paradoxical relationship, whereby sleep deprivation or excess sleep leads to a worsening of headaches, yet sleep onset also alleviates ongoing headache pain. Currently, the mechanism of action remains controversial and poorly understood. The glymphatic system is a newly discovered perivascular network that encompasses the whole brain and is responsible for removing toxic proteins and waste metabolites from the brain as well as replenishing nutrition and energy. Recent studies have suggested that glymphatic dysfunction is a common underlying etiology of sleep disorders and headache pain. This study reviews the current literature on the relationship between the glymphatic system, sleep, and headaches, discusses their roles, and proposes acupuncture as a non-invasive way to focus on the glymphatic function to improve sleep quality and alleviate headache pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The circadian locomotor output cycles kaput (CLOCK) gene and the alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (ADH4) gene are promising candidates for susceptibility to cluster headaches (CH). Associations of the three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-CLOCK SNP rs1801260 and ADH4 SNPs rs1800759, and rs1126671-with CH were studied previously, but the results were inconsistent. METHODS Associations between the three SNPs (rs1801260, rs1126671, and rs1800759) and CH risk were separately assessed by pooled odds ratios (ORs) along with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) based on five different genetic models. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). All statistical analyses were carried out with RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Eight studies involving 1437 CH patients and 2541 healthy controls were selected for quantitative synthesis, from five studies on CLOCK rs1801260, five on ADH4 rs1800759, and three on ADH4 rs1126671. Our pooled data did not support associations between the three SNPs (rs1801260 in the CLOCK gene, rs1800759 and rs1126671 in the ADH4 gene) and susceptibility to CH (rs1801260: OR 1.10, 95% CI: 0.95-1.28; p = 0.19; rs1800759: OR 1.06, 95% CI: 0.93-1.22; p = 0.37; and rs1126671: OR 1.09, 95% CI: 0.92-1.28; p = 0.32). CONCLUSION We found no significant associations between the three SNPs (rs1801260 in the CLOCK gene and rs1800759 and rs1126671 in the ADH4 gene) and the susceptibility to CH across both Caucasian and Asian ethnicities in our meta-analysis.

Abstract
GFP-like fluorescent proteins and their molecular mimics have revolutionized bioimaging research, but their emissions are largely limited in the visible to far-red region, hampering the in vivo applications in intact animals. Herein, we structurally modulate GFP-like chromophores using a donor-acceptor-acceptor (D-A-A') molecular configuration to discover a set of novel fluorogenic derivatives with infrared-shifted spectra. These chromophores can be fluorescently elicited by their specific interaction with G-quadruplex (G4), a unique noncanonical nucleic acid secondary structure, via inhibition of the chromophores' twisted-intramolecular charge transfer. This feature allows us to create, for the first time, FP mimics with tunable emission in the near-infrared (NIR) region (Emmax = 664-705 nm), namely, infrared G-quadruplex mimics of FPs (igMFP). Compared with their FP counterparts, igMFPs exhibit remarkably higher quantum yields, larger Stokes shift, and better photostability. In a proof-of-concept application using pathogen-related G4s as the target, we exploited igMFPs to directly visualize native hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA genome in living cells via their in situ formation by the chromophore-bound viral G4 structure in the HCV core gene. Furthermore, igMFPs are capable of high contrast HCV RNA imaging in living mice bearing a HCV RNA-presenting mini-organ, providing the first application of FP mimics in whole-animal imaging.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with a single-stranded covalently closed-loop structure, and their abnormal expression may participate in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. Currently, knowledge of circRNAs in gout is limited. In this case-control study, human circRNA microarrays were used to identify differentially expressed circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with primary gout (n = 5) and healthy controls (HC; n = 3). Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze significantly different circRNAs (fold change >1.5, p < 0.05). In addition, four significantly differentially expressed circRNAs were selected for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to detect expression levels in 90 gout patients and 60 HC. Subsequently, circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was established to predict the function of circRNAs of interest. Microarray analysis indicated that 238 circRNAs were upregulated and 41 circRNAs were down-regulated in the gout group (fold change >1.5, p < 0.05). Bioinformatics analysis showed that differentially expressed circRNAs were involved in the pathogenesis of gout via various pathways. Moreover, the expression levels of hsa_circRNA_103657 and hsa_circRNA_000241 were significantly higher in the gout group than those in the HC group, and both correlated significantly with lipid metabolism parameters. Furthermore, the area under the curve of hsa_circRNA_103657 was 0.801 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.730–0.871; p < 0.001). Our results provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of primary gout. Differentially expressed circRNAs were identified in the PBMCs of gout patients, and these differential circRNAs may play important roles in the development and progression of gout.

Abstract
Glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons represent the neural components of the medial vestibular nuclei. We assessed the functional role of glutamatergic and GABAergic neuronal pathways arising from the vestibular nuclei (VN) in the maintenance of gait and balance by optogenetically stimulating the VN in VGluT2-cre and GAD2-cre mice. We demonstrate that glutamatergic, but not GABAergic VN neuronal subpopulation is responsible for immediate and strong posturo-locomotor deficits, comparable to unilateral vestibular deafferentation models. During optogenetic stimulation, the support surface dramatically increased in VNVGluT2+ mice, and rapidly fell back to baseline after stimulation, whilst it remained unchanged during similar stimulation of VNGAD2+ mice. This effect persisted when vestibular tactilo kinesthesic plantar inputs were removed. Posturo-locomotor alterations evoked in VNVGluT2+ animals were still present immediately after stimulation, while they disappeared 1 h later. Overall, these results indicate a fundamental role for VNVGluT2+ neurons in balance and posturo-locomotor functions, but not for VNGAD2+ neurons, in this specific context. This new optogenetic approach will be useful to characterize the role of the different VN neuronal populations involved in vestibular physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
AIMS Phosphorus (P) is a finite resource and inoculation of phosphorus-mobilizing bacteria (PMB) is a promising approach for the enhancement of soil P availability and plant P uptake. This drives scientists to search for the microbes effective in mobilizing legacy P in soils. METHODS AND RESULTS The current incubation and greenhouse pot experiments were conducted to investigate P mobilization and pepper P uptake as affected by a new biocontrol and bioremediation bacterium Burkholderia cepacia CQ18. This bacterium converted Ca3 (PO4 )2 , FePO4 , AlPO4 , and lecithin into soluble inorganic P in the culture solutions and increased available P (including water-soluble P and Olsen P) in the soil. There were positive correlations between the soluble inorganic phosphorus and the exudates (protons, organic acids (oxalate and gluconate), siderophores and phosphatases) in culture solutions. Pepper plant biomass, fruit yield and P uptake changed in the sequence: chemical fertilizers plus bacterial inoculant >only chemical fertilizers >only bacterial inoculant >blank control. CONCLUSIONS Taking into account the wide spectrums of P mobilization and simultaneous production of acid, neutral and alkaline phosphatases at a given pH, B.cepacia CQ18 may be a potential PMB used in soils with wide pH ranges. The mechanisms employed by this bacterium in the solubilization of recalcitrant inorganic P could be the efflux of protons, organic acids (oxalate and gluconate) and siderophores. Phosphatases could be of utmost importance in the mineralization of the organic P. The production of siderophores and phosphatases by of B.cepacia CQ18 could thus be crucial for not only the antagonism against plant pathogens but also the mobilization of soil sparingly available P. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Burkholderia cepacia CQ18 could be potentially developed into a biofertilizer.

Abstract
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) is a complicated structural agent with a sophisticated transcription process and a high infection rate. A vaccine against HSV1 is urgently needed. As multiple viral-encoded proteins, including structural and nonstructural proteins, contribute to immune response stimulation, an attenuated or deficient HSV1 vaccine may be relatively reliable. Advances in genomic modification technologies provide reliable means of constructing various HSV vaccine candidates. Based on our previous work, an M6 mutant with mutations in the UL7, UL41, LAT, Us3, Us11 and Us12 genes was established. The mutant exhibited low proliferation in cells and an attenuated phenotype in an animal model. Furthermore, in mice and rhesus monkeys, the mutant can induce remarkable serum neutralizing antibody titers and T cell activation and protect against HSV1 challenge by impeding viral replication, dissemination and pathogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the contribution of single-gene defects to the genetic cause of cardiac left-sided lesions (LSLs), and to evaluate the incremental diagnostic yield of whole-exome sequencing (WES) for single-gene defects in fetuses with LSLs without aneuploidy or a pathogenic copy-number variant (pCNV). METHODS Between 10 April 2015 and 30 October 2018, we recruited 80 pregnant women diagnosed with a LSL who had termination of pregnancy and genetic testing. Eligible LSLs were aortic valve atresia or stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, mitral atresia or stenosis and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). CNV sequencing (CNV-seq) and WES were performed sequentially on specimens from these fetuses and their parents. CNV-seq was used to identify aneuploidies and pCNVs, while WES was used to identify diagnostic genetic variants in cases without aneuploidy or pCNV. RESULTS Of 80 pregnancies included in the study, 27 (33.8%) had a genetic diagnosis. CNV-seq analysis identified six (7.5%) fetuses with aneuploidy and eight (10.0%) with pCNVs. WES analysis of the remaining 66 cases revealed diagnostic genetic variants in 13 (19.7%) cases, indicating that the diagnostic yield of WES for the entire cohort was 16.3% (13/80). KMT2D was the most frequently mutated gene (7/66 (10.6%)) in fetuses with LSL without aneuploidy or pCNVs, followed by NOTCH1 (4/66 (6.1%)). HLHS was the most prevalent cardiac phenotype (4/7) in cases with a KMT2D mutation in this cohort. An additional six (9.1%) cases were found to have potentially deleterious variants in candidate genes. CONCLUSIONS Single-gene defects contribute substantially to the genetic etiology of fetal LSLs. KMT2D mutations accounted for approximately 10% of LSLs in our fetal cohort. WES has the potential to provide genetic diagnoses in fetuses with LSLs without aneuploidy or pCNVs.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors associated with anastomotic leakage after robotic surgery in mid-low rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective case-control study method was conducted. Inclusion criteria: (1) 18 to 80 years old; (2) pathologically confirmed rectal cancer; (3) distance <10 cm from tumor to anal margin; (4) robotic anterior rectal resection. Patients with previous history of colorectal cancer surgery, distant metastases or other malignant tumors, undergoing emergency surgery, with severe abdominal adhesions or those receiving combined organ resection were excluded. Based on the above criteria, 636 patients undergoing robotic radical sphincter-preserving surgery for mid-low rectal cancer in Zhongshan Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were included in this study, including 398 males (62.6%) and 238 females (37.4%) with a mean age of (61.9±11.3) years. Sixty-eight cases (10.7%) received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Amony the 636 included patients, 123(19.3%) underwent natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) and 15 (2.3%) underwent preventive stoma. According to the cirteria developed by the International Rectal Cancer Research Group in 2010, the anastomotic leakage was classified as grade A (no requirement of intervention), B (requirement of intervention), and C (requirement of operation). Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between anastomotic leakage and clinicopathological factors. Factors in univariate analysis with P<0.05 were included in the multivariate analysis. Results: Anastomotic leakage occurred in 38 cases (6.0%). The grading of anastomotic leakage was grade A in 13 cases (2.0%), grade B in 19 cases (3.0%), and grade C in 6 cases (0.9%). The 3-year disease-free survival rate of patients with anastomotic leakage and without anastomotic leakage was 83.5% and 83.6% respectively (P=0.862); the 3-year overall survival rate of the two group was 85.1% and 87.5% respectively (P=0.296). The results of univariate logistic regression analysis showed that male (P=0.011), longer operation time (P=0.042), distance ≤5 cm from tumor to anal margin (P=0.012), more intraoperative blood loss (P=0.048) were associated with anastomotic leakage (all P<0.05). NOSES was not associated with anastomotic leakage (P=0.704). Multivariate analysis confirmed that male (OR=3.03, 95%CI: 1.37 to 7.14, P=0.010), operation time ≥180 minutes (OR=2.04, 95%CI: 1.03 to 3.99, P=0.040), distance ≤5 cm from tumor to anal margin (OR=2.56, 95%CI:1.28 to 5.26, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage. Conclusion: Male, short distance from tumor to anal margin, and long operation time are independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing robotic mid-low rectal cancer radical surgeries. These patients need to be cautiously treated during surgery.

Abstract
AIMS Quorum quenching (QQ) is an attractive strategy for mitigating biofouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). However, the effects of QQ on the activated sludge (AS) process have not been adequately evaluated. This study investigated the long-term effects of QQ on a laboratory-scale anoxic-oxic MBR, focusing on AS performance and microbial community. METHODS AND RESULTS Anoxic-oxic MBRs with and without QQ were operated for 91 days. QQ did not affect COD and TN removal efficiencies over the experimental period, during which its activity remained >90%. QQ reduced floc size by approximately 8% but had no effect on biomass concentration. AS microbial communities were regularly analysed using massively parallel sequencing. AS bacterial communities were temporally dynamic irrespective of QQ presence, for example, a temporal increase in bacterial diversity and a temporal decay of community similarity. QQ counteracted the temporal change in diversity and the temporal distance-community decay. Community comparison revealed that QQ changed the successional trajectory of the AS community at a late period, because it decelerated temporal changes of specific members, such as Thiothrix and Sphingomonadaceae*. Correlation networks revealed that QQ increased network clustering, complexity and density. The combined results suggest that the tighter microbial association by QQ increased the community resistance. CONCLUSIONS QQ can enhance the diversity and stability of the AS community in MBR by counteracting the innate temporal change in community structure. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our findings are useful for the further advancement of QQ-based strategies in engineered microbial environments.

Abstract
Background
Heterotaxy (Htx) syndrome is an congenital disorders resulting from incorrectly establishment of left-right patterning during embryogenesis. Over 96% of patients with Htx exhibit some form of congenital heart disease (CHD),and has relatively poor survival. Multiple lines of evidence support genetic contributions to the etiology of Htx. As a specific genetic etiology is currently identifiable in only a minority of patients, there remains enormous potential for novel gene and pathway discovery.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic yield of whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in fetuses with the pathogenesis of Htx, to explore candidate genes for Htx and to expand the clinical phenotype of known genetic conditions.
Method
WES and WGS were performed on specimens from 46 fetuses diagnosed with Htx and their parents. The single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy-number variants (CNVs) were filtered and annotated by standard analysis process. All reported variants were classified according to he American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines.
Results
In the 46 fetuses, the detection rates of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variations were21.7% (10/46) and 10.9% (5/46) respectively. Ten pathogenic variations were identified on genes of CCDC114, DNAH11, ARMC4, STRA6, PQBP1 (hemizygote), HYDIN, RAI1 (Alagille Syndrome), ZFMP2 and Del(22q11.2) Syndrome. Five likely pathogenic variation were on DNAAF1 (Holshner syndrome), NF1, NEXN, NOTCH3 and FOXC1. Of 30 fetuses with prenatally diagnosed right atrial isomerism (RAI), the main intracardiac anomalies were atrioventricular canal (AV canal), isomerism of right atrial appendages, pulmonary stenosis or atresia (PS & PA) and right aortic arch. In 16 fetuses diagnosed left atrial isomerism (LAI) the main intracardiac anomalies were isomerism of left atrial appendages, interrupted IVC and azygos vein continuation. Of the 10 positive cases, 8 fetus were diagnosed of RAI and 2 were diagnosed of LAI by prenatal ultrasonic examination or fetal autopsy. The detection rate was 8/30 (26.7%) for RAI and 2/16 (12.5%) for LAI.
Conclusion
This study outlines the way for a substantial improvement in the diagnostic yield of prenatal genetic disorders in Htx through WES and WGS. Our experience also expanded the knowledge of the clinical phenotype of known genetic conditions. Our results indicate that the proportion of SNV in Htx of prenatal cases was significantly higher than that in patients with other congenital heart abnormalities, and the recessive inheritance occurred in a higher proportion in Htx. Our results have important implications for clinical management and genetic counseling of Htx.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
No data is available for the contribution of single gene disorders (SGDs) to left-sided congenital heart defects (LSCHDs) in the fetal population.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to explore the entire genetic architecture of LSCHDs, especially the contribution of SGDs in a cohort of fetal LSCHDs.
Methods
Low-pass whole genome sequencing (WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES) were performed on specimens from 83 deceased fetuses with lSCHDs, including 48 HLHS, 22 CoA, 5 AS, 3 AAH, 2 AS+CoA and 1 case of AA, AS+MS, MA. Sequencing was predominantly performed in fetus-parent trios (n=63, 75.9%), or in fetus only (n=20, 24.1%).
Results
34.9% (n=29) of the 83 fetal left-sided CHDs were identified with related genetic abnormalities. WGS analysis identified 14 (16.9%) with chromosomal abnormalities, including 6 (7.2%) aneuploidies and 8 (9.6%) pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs). WES analysis of the remaining 69 cases without chromosomal abnormalities identified 15 (15/69, 21.7%) with pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants. Of these 15 cases, KMT2D was the most frequently mutated gene (7/69, 10.1%), followed by NOTCH1 (4/69, 2.5%). Compound heterozygosity was identified in 3 genes (DNAH11, POFUT1, CRB2) that are not yet well established as CHD genes. Finally, we also observed a LOF variant in NONO (X-linked) that was maternally transmitted to an affected male case.
The genetic results of this cohort Aneuploidies Trisomy 18 4 Turner syndrome 2 CNVs 11q terminal deletion 3 1p36 deletion 1 15q terminal deletion 1 7q11.23 deletion 1 4p terminal deletion 1 12q complex internal duplication 1 SGDs AD (KMT2D = 7; NOTCH1 = 4) 11 AR (DNAH11, POFUT1, CRB2) 3 X-recessive (NONO) 1 AD: autosomal dominant; AR: autosomal recessive.
Conclusions
Our experience supports that SGDs contribute a significant part to the pathogenesis of fetal CHDs, WES has the potential to provide molecular diagnoses in fetal left-sided CHDs without chromosomal abnormalities. KMT2D mutations accounted for a large fraction of left-sided CHDs in fetal population. If the KMT2D mutation is detected, further diagnosis of Kabuki syndrome should be considered.

Abstract
Intraoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) is increasingly used for surgical navigation and validation of device placement. In spinal deformity correction, CBCT provides visualization of pedicle screws and fixation rods in relation to adjacent anatomy. This work reports and evaluates a method that uses prior information regarding such surgical instrumentation for improved metal artifact reduction (MAR). The known-component MAR (KC-MAR) approach achieves precise localization of instrumentation in projection images using rigid or deformable 3D-2D registration of component models, thereby overcoming residual errors associated with segmentation-based methods. Projection data containing metal components are processed via 2D inpainting of the detector signal, followed by 3D filtered back-projection (FBP). Phantom studies were performed to identify nominal algorithm parameters and quantitatively investigate performance over a range of component material composition and size. A cadaver study emulating screw and rod placement in spinal deformity correction was conducted to evaluate performance under realistic clinical imaging conditions. KC-MAR demonstrated reduction in artifacts (standard deviation in voxel values) across a range of component types and dose levels, reducing the artifact to 5-10 HU. Accurate component delineation was demonstrated for rigid (screw) and deformable (rod) models with sub-mm registration errors, and a single-pixel dilation of the projected components was found to compensate for partial-volume effects. Artifacts associated with spine screws and rods were reduced by 40%-80% in cadaver studies, and the resulting images demonstrated markedly improved visualization of instrumentation (e.g. screw threads) within cortical margins. The KC-MAR algorithm combines knowledge of surgical instrumentation with 3D image reconstruction in a manner that overcomes potential pitfalls of segmentation. The approach is compatible with FBP-thereby maintaining simplicity in a manner that is consistent with surgical workflow-or more sophisticated model-based reconstruction methods that could further improve image quality and/or help reduce radiation dose.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of serum Uric Acid (sUA), lipids and Cystatin C (CysC) in primary gout patients, and to explore the clinical significance in gout patients. METHODS sUA, CysC, high-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP) and other biochemical parameters were measured in 326 gout patient and 210 healthy control subjects, blood cell counts were also detected. Clinical data were collected from gout patients. RESULTS sUA, CysC, hsCRP, Body Mass Index (BMI), White Blood Cell (WBC) counts, neutrophil Granulocyte (GR), Monocyte (Mo), Triglycerides (TG), plasma Total Cholesterol (TC), Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100), Blood Glucose (GLU), serum Creatinine (sCr) and Urea Nitrogen (BUN) were significantly increased in gout patients compared with HC subjects (P<0.01, respectively), while lymphocyte counts and High Density Lipoprotein- Cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly decreased in gout patients compared with HC subjects (P<0.01, respectively). Positive correlations were observed between concentration of sUA and age, TG, VLDL, sCr and CysC (P<0.05, respectively). While negative correlations were observed between the concentration of sUA and HDL-C(P<0.01). Besides, Positive correlations were observed between concentration of CysC and WBC, GR, Mo, apoA1, GLU, sCr, BUN, sUA, hsCRP (P<0.05, respectively). While negative correlations were observed between the concentration of CysC and TC, LDL-C(P<0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Blood lipid profile changes in gout patients. Gout patients who suffer from lipid metabolism disorder and vascular diseases might be associated with hyperuricemia, which leads to endothelial cell damage and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. CysC might be a marker for renal function damage and inflammation. Hyperuricemia is the risk factor of renal disorder in gout patients.

Abstract
Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is an endocrine-disrupting pollutant present in various aspects of daily life, and studies have demonstrated that BaP exerts reproductive toxicity. We previously showed that BaP damages endometrial morphology and decreases the number of implantation sites in early pregnant mice, but the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. The endometrial function is crucial for implantation, which is associated with endometrial cell apoptosis. In this study, we focused on the effect of BaP on endometrial cell apoptosis and the role of WNT signaling during this process. Pregnant mice were gavaged with corn oil (control group) or 0.2 mg·kg-1 ·day -1 BaP (treatment group) from Days 1 to 6 of pregnancy. BaP impaired endometrial function by decreasing the expression of HOXA10 and BMP2, two markers of receptivity and decidualization. WNT5A and β-catenin were activated in the BaP group. BaP affected the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and inhibited the apoptosis of endometrial stromal cells. In vitro, human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) were treated with different concentrations of BaP (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); 5, 10 µM). WNT5A and β-catenin were also upregulated in the BaP treatment group. HESC apoptosis was restrained by BaP. Inhibiting WNT5A by SFRP5 partially restored the effect of BaP on apoptosis. In summary, these results suggested that BaP exposure during early pregnancy activates WNT5A/β-catenin signaling pathway, which inhibits the endometrial cell apoptosis and potentially destroys endometrial function.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the imaging performance and radiation dose characteristics of the O-arm CBCT imaging system (Medtronic Inc., Littleton MA) and demonstrate the potential for improved image quality and reduced dose via model-based image reconstruction (MBIR). METHODS Two main studies were performed to investigate previously unreported characteristics of the O-arm system. First is an investigation of dose and 3D image quality achieved with filtered back-projection (FBP) - including enhancements in geometric calibration, handling of lateral truncation and detector saturation, and incorporation of an isotropic apodization filter. Second is implementation of an MBIR algorithm based on Huber-penalized likelihood estimation (PLH) and investigation of image quality improvement at reduced dose. Each study involved measurements in quantitative phantoms as a basis for analysis of contrast-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution as well as imaging of a human cadaver to test the findings under realistic imaging conditions. RESULTS View-dependent calibration of system geometry improved the accuracy of reconstruction as quantified by the full-width at half maximum of the point-spread function - from 0.80 to 0.65 mm - and yielded subtle but perceptible improvement in high-contrast detail of bone (e.g., temporal bone). Standard technique protocols for the head and body imparted absorbed dose of 16 and 18 mGy, respectively. For low-to-medium contrast (<100 HU) imaging at fixed spatial resolution (1.3 mm edge-spread function) and fixed dose (6.7 mGy), PLH improved CNR over FBP by +48% in the head and +35% in the body. Evaluation at different dose levels demonstrated 30% increase in CNR at 62% of the dose in the head and 90% increase in CNR at 50% dose in the body. CONCLUSIONS A variety of improvements in FBP implementation (geometric calibration, truncation and saturation effects, and isotropic apodization) offer the potential for improved image quality and reduced radiation dose on the O-arm system. Further gains are possible with MBIR, including improved soft-tissue visualization, low-dose imaging protocols, and extension to methods that naturally incorporate prior information of patient anatomy and/or surgical instrumentation.

Abstract
Background Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) limits the wider application of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We explored the relationship between the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway and aGVHD and identified effective and efficient therapeutic targets for the prevention and management of aGVHD following HSCT. Material/Methods C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice were used to establish the aGVHD model. The bone marrow and spleen mononuclear cells were separated from the donor mice and injected into the caudal vein of recipient mice that had undergone total body irradiation (TBI, 8 Gy). Sulforaphane (SFN) was used to activate the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway. Results The long-term survival rate of the SFN group was higher than that of the control group (40% vs. 0%, p<0.05, n=10). There were worse pathological changes and a greater infiltration of inflammatory cells in the liver, small intestine, and lung tissues of the control group. Furthermore, the Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 mRNA and protein levels were higher in the small intestines of the SFN group than in the control group (p<0.05, n=4). Conclusions The Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway plays a vital role in preventing aGVHD in an HSCT mouse model by regulating the expression of the downstream antioxidant genes NQO1 and HO-1 and by inhibiting the local inflammatory reaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (laBCC) or metastatic BCC (mBCC), two difficult-to-treat populations, have had limited treatment options. Sonidegib, a hedgehog pathway inhibitor (HPI), was approved in laBCC based on results from the BOLT trial. OBJECTIVE To evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of sonidegib in laBCC and mBCC in the BOLT 18- and 30-month analyses. METHODS BOLT (NCT01327053, ClinicalTrials.gov), a double-blind phase 2 study, enrolled patients from July 2011 until January 2013. Eligible HPI-treatment-naïve patients with laBCC not amenable to curative surgery/radiotherapy or mBCC were randomized 1 : 2 to sonidegib 200 mg (laBCC, n = 66; mBCC, n = 13) or 800 mg (laBCC, n = 128; mBCC, n = 23). Tumour response was assessed per central and investigator review. RESULTS With 30 months of follow-up, among patients treated with sonidegib 200 mg (approved dose), objective response rates were 56.1% (central) and 71.2% (investigator) in laBCC and 7.7% (central) and 23.1% (investigator) in mBCC. Tumour responses were durable as follows: median duration of response was 26.1 months (central) and 15.7 months (investigator) in laBCC and 24.0 months (central) and 18.1 months (investigator) in mBCC. Five patients with laBCC and three with mBCC in the 200-mg arm died. Median overall survival was not reached in either population; 2-year overall survival rates were 93.2% (laBCC) and 69.3% (mBCC). In laBCC, efficacy was similar regardless of aggressive or non-aggressive histology. Sonidegib 200 mg continued to have a better safety profile than 800 mg, with lower rates of grade 3/4 adverse events (43.0% vs. 64.0%) and adverse events leading to discontinuation (30.4% vs. 40.0%). CONCLUSION Sonidegib continued to demonstrate long-term efficacy and safety in these populations. These data support the use of sonidegib 200 mg per local treatment guidelines.
