Abstract
Monkeypox is a rare infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which used to occur endemically in central and western Africa. As of 25th May, a total of 219 recently confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported from 19 non-endemic countries. This outbreak unusually takes place in non-endemic areas for monkeypox virus and has exhibited features of high risk of human-to-human transmission. Onset of multiple human monkeypox cases may be related to the decreased level of herd cross-immunity after the cessation of smallpox vaccination. Moreover, behavioral patterns in specific populations may account for the human-to-human transmission in this outbreak. Currently, possibility of global epidemic of monkeypox is extremely low, but China should be cautious about risks of importation of monkeypox cases. The key to prevention and control is to establish a surveillance system to identify suspicious cases and close contacts as soon as possible.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and influencing factors of long-term prognosis of tuberculous meningitis(TBM), and to provide a recommendation for treatment and early intervention of TBM. Methods: Clinical data of TBM patients were retrospectively collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2021. Patients who were followed-up more than one year were divided into two groups according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Risk factors associated with long-term prognosis were analyze by conditional logistic stepwise regression. Results: A total of 60 subjects were enrolled including 33 (55%) males and 27 (45%) females with age 15-79 (44.5±19.8) years. There were 30 cases (50%) complicated with encephalitis, 21 cases (35%) with miliary tuberculosis. The diagnosis was microbiologically confirmed in 22 patients (36.7%), including 5 cases (22.7%, 5/22) by acid-fast staining, 8 cases (36.4%, 8/22) by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) culture, and 20 cases (90.9%, 20/22) by molecular biology. The median follow-up period was 52(43, 66 ) months in 55 cases surviving more than one year. Among them, 40 cases (72.7%) were in favorable group (mRS 0-2) and 15 cases (27.3%) were in unfavorable group (mRS 3-6) with poor prognosis. The mortality rate was 20% (11/55). Elderly (OR=1.06, P=0.048 ) , hyponatremia(OR=0.81,P=0.020), high protein level in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (OR=3.32,P=0.033), cerebral infarction(OR=10.50,P=0.040) and hydrocephalus(OR=8.51,P=0.049) were associated with poor prognosis in TBM patients. Conclusions: The mortality rate is high in patients with TBM. Molecular biology tests improves the sensitivity and shorten the diagnosis time of TBM. Elderly, hyponatremia, high protein level in CSF, cerebral infarction and hydrocephalus are independent risk factors of long-term survival in TBM patients.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the actual situation of the implementation of "Diagnosis and therapy guideline of preterm birth(2014)", "Guideline" for short, by front-line obstetricians, and to provide reference for the further update and supplement of the "Guideline". Methods: This study designed a structured questionnaire for the prominent problems in the prevention and treatment of preterm birth, which was determined by the expert team drafting the "Guideline". In October to November 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among obstetricians, including members of the Perinatal Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association and the Obstetrics Subgroup,Chinese society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chinese Medical Association, on the implementation status of the "Guideline". The recommendations of the "Guideline" were used as standard answers to determine the implementation rate. A total of 328 valid questionnaires were collected. The total score of the questionnaire was 12 points. The questionnaire was divided into low executive ability group (<7 points) and high executive ability group (≥7 points) with a score of 7 as the threshold value, and the differences in baseline information such as hospital grade and professional title between the two groups were compared. Results: The score of 328 obstetricians was (7.6±1.6) points, including 250 (76.2%, 250/328) in the high execution group and 78 (23.8%, 78/328) in the low execution group. The execution rates of "the use of uterine contraction inhibitors for short courses"[97.0% (318/328)], "late umbilical cord breakage after birth of premature infants"[87.8% (288/328)] and "should preterm patients with intact membranes be treated with antibiotics"[86.6% (284/328)] were all over 80%, indicating good implementation. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hospital grade and professional title were independent factors influencing the performance of the "Guideline"(all P<0.05), and secondary hospitals had lower scores and worse execution than tertiary hospitals (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.23-0.77; P=0.005). Senior titles had higher scores and better execution than junior titles (OR=5.33, 95%CI: 2.35-12.07; P<0.001). When answering the question "gestational week at which premature infants could survive in your hospital", only 3.4% (11/328) answered 22 weeks, and 44.5% (146/328) answered 28 weeks, accounted for the highest proportion. The gestational week of surviving premature infants in tertiary hospitals was earlier than that in secondary hospitals (P<0.05). The gestational week of surviving premature infants answered by senior titles was earlier than that of junior titles (P<0.05). Conclusions: Obstetricians generally have a good implementation of the "Guideline", and their understanding of some recommended clauses in the guidelines needs to be improved. In the future, training of primary hospitals and physicians with junior titles should be strengthened.

Abstract
Bacterial sensing of environmental signals through the two-component system (TCS) plays a key role in modulating virulence. In the search for the host hormone-sensing TCS, we identified a conserved qseEGF locus following glmY, a small RNA (sRNA) gene in uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis. Genes of glmY-qseE-qseG-qseF constitute an operon, and QseF binding sites were found in the glmY promoter region. Deletion of glmY or qseF resulted in reduced swarming motility and swarming-related phenotypes relative to the wild-type and the respective complemented strains. The qseF mutant had decreased glmYqseEGF promoter activity. Both glmY and qseF mutants exhibited decreased flhDC promoter activity and mRNA level, while increased rcsB mRNA level was observed in both mutants. Prediction by TargetRNA2 revealed cheA as the target of GlmY. Then, construction of the translational fusions containing various lengths of cheA 5′UTR for reporter assay and site-directed mutagenesis were performed to investigate the cheA-GlmY interaction in cheA activation. Notably, loss of glmY reduced the cheA mRNA level, and urea could inhibit swarming in a QseF-dependent manner. Altogether, this is the first report elucidating the underlying mechanisms for modulation of swarming motility by a QseEF-regulated sRNA GlmY, involving expression of cheA, rcsB and flhDC in uropathogenic P. mirabilis.

Abstract
A 49-year-old male was admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital presented with fever for more than half a year. The patient was diagnosed as Sjogren's syndrome at local hospital. After oral prednisone 60 mg per day was given, the fever alleviated, but recurred after prednisone tapered to 40 mg/d. Both blood culture and stool culture were positive for Salmonella enteritidis. Antibiotics including ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cilastatin-imipenem were sequentially administrated for 4 weeks, yet not effective. Although there were not respiratory symptoms or certain abnormalities on high-resolution chest CT, arterial blood gas indicated hypoxemia. Serum lactate dehydrogenase and β2 micro-globulin were elevated, and the lung function test demonstrated significant impairment of diffusion function. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT)scan suggested that high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was diffusely seen in both lungs. The patient was finally diagnosed as pulmonary intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) by transbronchial lung biopsy. This case aims to emphasize the differentiation diagnoses of pulmonary intravascular lymphoma from common situations.

Abstract
We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution and detectability of MW satellites and marginalizes over uncertainties in the mapping between galaxies and DM halos, the properties of the MW system, and the disruption of subhalos by the MW disk. Our results are consistent with the cold, collisionless DM paradigm and yield the strongest cosmological constraints to date on particle models of warm, interacting, and fuzzy dark matter. At 95% confidence, we report limits on (i) the mass of thermal relic warm DM, m_{WDM}>6.5 keV (free-streaming length, λ_{fs}≲10h^{-1} kpc), (ii) the velocity-independent DM-proton scattering cross section, σ_{0}<8.8×10^{-29} cm^{2} for a 100 MeV DM particle mass [DM-proton coupling, c_{p}≲(0.3 GeV)^{-2}], and (iii) the mass of fuzzy DM, m_{ϕ}>2.9×10^{-21} eV (de Broglie wavelength, λ_{dB}≲0.5 kpc). These constraints are complementary to other observational and laboratory constraints on DM properties.

Abstract
To understand the development of the mucous preglottal salivary gland in Coturnix japonica (Japanese quail), morphological and histochemical studies were performed on 20 healthy Japanese quail embryos (aging from 10 th to 17 th incubation days) and 25 healthy quail chicks (aging from 0 th to 60 th days). The primordia of preglottal salivary gland was observed as an epithelial bud at the early embryonic stage, which then elongated and differentiated into secretory units by the end of this stage. In Japanese quails, the preglottal salivary gland was a mucous polystomatic tubulo-alveolar unpaired gland composed of two lateral portions and a middle one embedded into submucosa of the lingual root. The gland openings accompanied taste pore (8.17 μm) of taste buds associated salivary glands type; some skeletal muscle fibers embedded among secretory lobules extended from muscle cricohyoideus at 14 th day old quail chick. Also, both herbts corpuscles and secretory motor plexus could be detected among secretory lobules. Based on our investigations, the development of preglottal salivary gland could clearly be distinguished in the embryonic stage into prebud and bud stages at 10 th day old, cord and branching stages ended by cavitation at 11 th day old, canalization stage at 13 th day old, lobulation and secretory stages by the 17 th day old. This mucous secretion showed different histochemical reactions ended with highly alcinophilic mucous indicated highly sialomucin (acidic) content. Myoepithelial cells could be demonstrated at 17-day old quail embryo and there after, surrounded the secretory endpieces of the preglottal salivary gland.

Abstract
Objectives With the prolonged survival time of AIDS patients, complications of various systems and organs of HIV infection are increasingly prominent. These diseases have become the major factors influencing the quality of life and prognosis of HIV‐infected persons, and multidisciplinary cooperation treatment is urgently needed. Methods The Chinese HIV/AIDS Clinical Trial Network has conducted a series of multicentre clinical cohort studies over the past 16 years, in which studies related to people living with HIV systemic complications. Based on the results of previous studies, this review establishes the complications of Chinese people living with HIV after long‐term cART. Results HIV’s direct damage to human cells, chronic abnormal inflammatory activation after HIV infection, long‐term drug side effects caused by cART and persistent reservoirs cause systemic complications in people living with HIV. We summarised the clinical characteristics of the complications of HIV infection in China from the aspects of the liver, cardiovascular, the nervous system, the kidney, bone metabolism, blood glucose, and lipid metabolism. Conclusions The management of the complications of HIV infection is a major link in improving the survival treatment and prognosis of patients in the future. The joint participation of doctors from different departments of general hospitals in the management of comorbidities is the main theme for future improvement of quality of life and prognosis for people living with HIV.

Abstract
Novel coronavirus pneumonia was a novel coronavirus infection that has dominated pulmonary infection since December 2019. The main manifestations were fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, normal or leukopenia in peripheral blood and changes in chest CT and in severe cases, multiple organ failure might occur. The National Health Commission, PRC has revised the consensus on diagnosis and treatment seven times in a short period of time, indicating the growing understanding of the disease. Patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia usually had history of travelling or living in the epidemic area including Wuhan within 14 days before onset, or have been exposed to patients who had fever or respiratory symptoms from the epidemic area, or had clustering diseases. However, novel coronavirus pneumonia was becoming more and more blurred after vanishing epidemic. The diagnosis and differential diagnosis of novel coronavirus pneumonia were challenges not only because of large number of tourists increasing dramatically after the relieving of epidemic, but also patients with other diseases from different areas to search for medical care. In this article, the clinical and chest imaging features of the novel coronavirus pneumonia were reviewed and compared with other infections and non-infectious diffuse pulmonary diseases. We try to find the similarities and differences among them, and to identify clues to the diagnosis of novel coronavirus pneumonia, so as to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical and coagulation characteristics in patients with critical Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and acro-ischemia. Methods: The retrospective study included 7 critical COVID-19 patients with acro-ischemia in an intensive care unit (ICU) in Wuhan, from Feb 4 to Feb 15, 2020. The clinical and laboratory data before and during the ICU stay were analyzed. Results: The median age of 7 patients was 59 years and 4 of them were men. Three patients were associated with underlying comorbidities. Fever, cough, dyspnea and diarrhea were common clinical symptoms. All patients had acro-ischemia presentations including finger/toe cyanosis, skin bulla and dry gangrene. D-dimer, fibrinogen and fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) were significantly elevated in most patients. Prothrombin time was prolonged in 4 patients. D-dimer and FDP levels progressively elevated consistent with COVID-2019 exacerbation. Four patients were diagnosed with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) . Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) was administrated in 6 patients, which reduced D-dimer and FDP rather than improved clinical symptoms. Five patients died finally and the median time from acro-ischemia to death was 12 days. Conclusions: Coagulation parameters should be monitored closely in critical COVID-2019 patients. The timing and protocol of anticoagulation therapy are still under investigation based on more clinical data.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics and prognostic value of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets in patients with severe influenza. Methods: This was a single-center cross-sectional study in influenza patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from August 2017 to April 2018. Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets were detected by flow cytometry in both patients and 108 healthy controls. Influenza patients were divided into mild group and severe group. Severe patients were further classified into alive and fatal subgroups. Results: A total of 42 influenza patients were recruited in this study, including 24 severe cases (6 deaths). The remaining 18 cases were mild. The peripheral blood lymphocyte counts and lymphocyte subset counts (B, NK, CD4(+)T, CD8(+)T) in either mild patients[795 (571,1 007), 43 (23,144), 70 (47,135), 330 (256,457), 226 (148,366) cells/μl respectively] or severe patients[661 (474,1 151),92 (52,139), 54 (34,134), 373 (235,555), 180 (105,310) cells/μl respectively] were both significantly lower than those of healthy controls [1 963 (1 603,2 394),179 (119,239), 356 (231,496), 663 (531,824), 481 (341,693) cells/μl respectively]. Meanwhile, the T cells and CD8(+)T counts in fatal patients [370 (260,537) cells/μl and 87 (74,105) cells/μl] were significantly lower than those in severe and alive patients [722 (390,990) cells/μl and 222 (154,404) cells/μl]. CD8(+)HLA-DR/CD8(+)and CD8(+)CD38(+)/CD8(+)T cell activating subgroups in mild cases[(53.7±19.2)% and 74.8% (64.1%,83.7%) respectively] were significantly higher than those in severe cases[(38.5±21.7)% and 53.3% (45.3%,67.2%) respectively].Moreover,CD8(+)HLA-DR/CD8(+)count in severe and alive group was higher than that in fatal group [(46.1±19.1)% vs. (18.2±14.6)%, P<0.01]. Logistic regression analysis showed that CD8(+)T cell count (OR=0.952, 95%CI 0.910-0.997, P=0.035) and CD8(+)HLA-DR/CD8(+)T (OR=0.916, 95%CI 0.850-0.987, P=0.022) were both negatively correlated with mortality.Peripheral blood lymphocyte counts in mild cases rapidly decreased within 1 day after diagnosis, and returned to the basic level one week later. Conclusions: All peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets (T,B,NK) in patients with influenza are significantly reduced. These findings are consistent with the immunological characteristics of respiratory viral infections, in which peripheral lymphocytes (especially T cells) migrate to respiratory tract in the early stage and circulate to the peripheral blood after recovery. The activated CD8(+)T cell counts in peripheral blood are negatively correlated with the severity of disease, which could be considered as a prognostic indicator of severe influenza.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical and coagulation characteristics of the critical Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acro-ischemia in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: The retrospective study included 7 critical COVID-19 patients with acro-ischemia in a single center in Wuhan, from Feb 4 to Feb 15, 2020. The clinical and laboratory data before and during the ICU stay were analyzed. Results: The median age of 7 patients was 59 years and 4 of them were men. 3 of them were associated with underlying comorbidities. Fever, cough, dyspnea and diarrhea were common clinical symptoms. All patients had acro-ischemia presentations including finger/toe cyanosis, skin bulla and dry gangrene. D-dimer, fibrinogen and fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) were significantly elevated in most patients. Prothrombin time (PT) were prolonged in 4 patients. D-dimer and FDP levels increased progressively when COVID-2019 exacerbated, and 4 patients were diagnosed with definite disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). 6 patients received low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) treatment, after which their D-dimer and FDP decreased, but there was no significant improvement in clinical symptoms. 5 patients died finally and the median time from acro-ischemia to death was 12 days. Conclusions: The existence of hypercoagulation status in critical COVID-2019 patients should be monitored closely, and anticoagulation therapy can be considered in selected patients. More clinical data is needed to investigate the role of anticoagulation in COVID-2019 treatment.

Abstract
In recent years, many γ-ray sources have been identified, yet the unresolved component hosts valuable information on the faintest emission. In order to extract it, a cross-correlation with gravitational tracers of matter in the Universe has been shown to be a promising tool. We report here the first identification of a cross-correlation signal between γ rays and the distribution of mass in the Universe probed by weak gravitational lensing. We use data from the Dark Energy Survey Y1 weak lensing data and the Fermi Large Area Telescope 9-yr γ-ray data, obtaining a signal-to-noise ratio of 5.3. The signal is mostly localized at small angular scales and high γ-ray energies, with a hint of correlation at extended separation. Blazar emission is likely the origin of the small-scale effect. We investigate implications of the large-scale component in terms of astrophysical sources and particle dark matter emission.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of peramivir trihydrate in patients with influenza. Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo and positive control, multicenter clinical trial, comparing peramivir trihydrate with oseltamivir and placebo. The inclusive criteria were 15-70 years old, onset within 48 h, positive rapid influenza antigen test, and febrile (>38℃) accompanied with at least two associated symptoms. The severe cases complicated with chronic pulmonary and cardiac diseases, malignancies, organ transplantation, hemodialysis, uncontrolled diabetes, immunocompromised status, pregnancy and coexistence of bacterium infections were excluded. All patients were randomized 2∶2∶1 to receive peramivir, oseltamivir and placebo respectively. The primary endpoint was the disease duration, the secondary endpoints included time to normal axillary temperature and normal living activities, viral response, and adverse effects. Results: Following informed consent, 133 patients were included in this study. Four patients were exclude due to missing medical records, not fitting inclusion or exclusion criteria and poor compliance. A total of 129 patients were finally analyzed, including 49 cases, 54 cases and 26 cases in peramivir group, oseltamivir group and placebo group. The median disease duration were 96 (76, 120) hours, 105 (90,124) hours, and 124 (104, 172) hours in three groups respectively (P>0.05) . The time to normal axillary temperature, normal living activities and viral response were not significantly different in three groups (P>0.05) . Conclusion: The value of antiviral therapy in patients with mild influenza needs to be further determined.

Abstract
The distribution of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets were compared between patients with colorectal cancer and healthy controls. The number of natural killer(NK) cells and CD(8)(+)T cells and the percentage of naive CD(4)(+) T cells were all decreased significantly in patients. On the contrary, the percentages of memory CD(4)(+) T cells, HLA-DR(+) CD(8)(+) T cells and CD(38)(+) CD(8)(+) T cells were significantly increased. It suggests that the tumor killing effect of cytotoxic lymphocytes in peripheral blood is impaired in patients with colorectal cancer, whereas the immune response is over stimulated.

Abstract
The combination of multiple observational probes has long been advocated as a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, in particular dark energy. The Dark Energy Survey has measured 207 spectroscopically confirmed type Ia supernova light curves, the baryon acoustic oscillation feature, weak gravitational lensing, and galaxy clustering. Here we present combined results from these probes, deriving constraints on the equation of state, w, of dark energy and its energy density in the Universe. Independently of other experiments, such as those that measure the cosmic microwave background, the probes from this single photometric survey rule out a Universe with no dark energy, finding w=-0.80_{-0.11}^{+0.09}. The geometry is shown to be consistent with a spatially flat Universe, and we obtain a constraint on the baryon density of Ω_{b}=0.069_{-0.012}^{+0.009} that is independent of early Universe measurements. These results demonstrate the potential power of large multiprobe photometric surveys and pave the way for order of magnitude advances in our constraints on properties of dark energy and cosmology over the next decade.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features and T lymphocytes subsets in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Methods: A total of 48 hospitalized patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1/AIDS and CMV infections were recruited at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from Jan 2010 to Aug 2017. Their clinical features and immune function were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with only HIV/AIDS in previous study were recruited as controls. Results: All 48 patients were at C3 stage, including 36 men and 12 women. Five of them were younger than 30 years old, 33 cases within 31-50 years old, and 10 cases older than 50 years old. Thirty-five patients had CD(4)(+)T lymphocytes ≤ 50 cells/μl, 7 cases with CD(4)(+)T cells 51-100/μl, 3 cases with 101-200 cells/μl, and 3 cases over 200 cells/μl. As to CMV infections, there were 31 cases of CMV viremia, 1 case of CMV encephalitis, 1 case of CMV enteritis, 5 cases of CMV pneumonia, and 9 cases of CMV retinitis. Other opportunistic infections were also common including 16 cases of pneumocystis pneumonia, 9 cases of tuberculosis, 5 cases of syphilis, 18 cases of digestive tract fungal infections, 8 cases of pulmonary fungal infections, 2 cases of EB virus infections, 2 cases of HIV encephalopathy/progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), 3 cases of cryptococcal meningitis, 1 case of toxoplasma infection. In group of both CMV and HIV/AIDS infections, 100% patients had inverted CD(4)(+)/CD(8)(+) ratio. The immune activation marker CD(8)(+)CD(38)(+)/CD(8)(+) was higher (61.6%-98.8%) with a median value of 91.2% in 40 patients. HLA-DR(+)CD(8)(+)/CD(8)(+), another marker for T cell activation, was 25.5%-98.0% in 44 patients with a median value of 60.3%. Thirty-six patients had both immune activation markers positive. There was no significant difference in counts of B cells, natural killer cells, CD(4)(+) T cells, CD(8)(+) T cells and immune activation subsets stratified by gender and age (P>0.05). Meanwhile, neither serum HIV viral load nor serum CMV viral load was correlated with HLA-DR(+)CD(8)(+)/CD(8)(+), CD(8)(+)CD(38)(+)/CD(8)(+), CD(4)(+)T cell counts, and CD(4)(+)/CD(8)(+) ratio in the CMV and HIV/AIDS co-infection group (all P>0.05), while HIV viral load in HIV/AIDS only group was significantly correlated with HLA-DR(+)CD(8)(+)T/CD(8)(+), CD(38)(+)CD(8)(+)/CD(8)(+), CD(4)(+) T cell counts, CD(4)(+)/CD(8)(+) ratio (r=0.473, 0.575, -0.767 and -0.678, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusions: CMV infections develop in HIV patients with advanced stage. CMV infection can cause life-threatening multiple organ lesions, especially in those with CD(4)(+) T cells less than 100 cells/μl. It is of great importance to screen CMV-IgM, pp65 antigen, CMV DNA to make early diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Cryptococcal meningitis is a common and refractory central nervous system infection, with high rates of mortality and disability. The experts of the Society of Infectious Diseases of Chinese Medical Association have reached this consensus after a thorough discussion. Based on the current situation of cryptococcal meningitis in China, the management of cryptococcal meningitis includes 6 aspects: introduction, microorganism identification, clinical manifestations and diagnosis, principles of antifungal therapy, treatment of refractory and recurrent meningitis, treatment of intracranial hypertension. There is not a separate consensus on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in patients with cryptococcal meningitis. This article focuses on different antifungal regimens and reducing intracranial pressure by reference to Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) guidelines. The importance of early diagnosis, combined long-term antifungal therapy, control of intracranial hypertension are emphasized.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the common opportunistic infections and the characteristics of peripheral lymphocyte subsets in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: From December 2013 to December 2016, peripheral lymphocyte subsets were consecutively detected by flow cytometry in treated SLE patients with or without opportunistic infections (OIs) . The lymphocyte subsets in healthy donors were used as normal control group. Results: A total of 145 treated SLE patients were enrolled including 108 with OIs and 37 without OIs. The common OIs were cytomegalovirus (CMV) diseases (66/108), Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP, 16/108), other fungal infections (16/108), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV, 15/108) and tuberculosis (14/108). Compared with treated SLE without OIs, total lymphocyte, CD(4+) T, and CD(8+) T lymphocyte counts were significantly reduced in SLE with OIs [1 260 (780, 1 810) cells/μl vs. 565 (399, 1 043) cells/μl, P<0.001; 485 (280, 811) cells/μl vs. 173 (95, 327) cells/μl, P<0.001; 464 (339, 764) cells/μl vs. 265 (158, 424) cells/μl, P=0.003, respectively]. Conclusions: The common OIs in treated SLE patients were CMV diseases, PJP, other fungi, EBV and tuberculosis. OIs are prone to develop in SLE patients with severe lymphocytopenia, especially CD(4+) T cell depletion.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological and clinical features of 20 patients with neurobrucellosis (NB) . Methods: The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and treatment data of patients diagnosed with NB from 2010 to 2016 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Twelve (60%) patients reported the history of contact with infected animals and intake of raw milk product. The common manifestations included headache (85%, 17/20), fatigue (85%, 17/20), fever (80%, 16/20), weight loss (70%, 15/20), the signs included pathological reflection (70%, 15/20), decreased muscle strength(45%, 9/20). The mean time to diagnosis was 7.9 months. All patients were diagnosed by positive serum antibody against Brucella. Body fluid culture revealed positive blood Brucella in 5 (31.2%, 5/16) patients and positive cerebrospinal fluid in 3 (16.7%, 3/18) patients. The medication consisted of rifampicin and minocycline based regimens or combined with ceftriaxone, fluroquinolone, streptomycin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX). Ninety percent(18/20) patients obtained clinical improvement, whereas mild sequelae were observed in 5 patients. Conclusions: Clinical features of NB are heterogeneous. Carefully seek for epidemiological clues and early tests for Brucella may lead to well outcome. Combination therapy with two or more active antimicrobial agents is suggested.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of patients with Brucella endocarditis in order to improve the understanding and treatment of Brucella endocarditis. Methods: The clinical data including demographic characteristics, clinical features, laboratory data, echocardiography, treatment and clinical outcome of 6 patients with Brucella endocarditis were collected and analyzed. Results: In our database consisting of 211 brucellosis patients with positive blood culture, 6 patients (2.8%) with Brucella endocarditis were selected from May 2007 to December 2016 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital.The age range was 25-55 years, among whom 5 patients were men.The majority were farmers and all patients reported the history of closely contact with livestock.All of them had fever and 3 of them had arthralgia.Four patients had aortic involvement (4/6) and 2 of them presented with symptoms of left ventricular failure at admission.Blood culture of Brucella and serum agglutination test of Brucella were positive in all of them.Combined antibiotics treatments were given to all patients.Valve replacement surgery was performed in four patients, among them, three patients well recovered, one lost. Among all the patients, four were followed up continually and other two were lost. Conclusions:Brucella endocarditis has a predominance of aortic involvement and is prone to left ventricular failure.Early antibiotic treatment combined with valve-replacement surgery is effective to improve the prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To improve the clinical recognition of infective endocarditis (IE) and septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) in patients with extensive burns. Methods: A case of large area burn complicated with IE and SPE confirmed by blood cultures and echocardiography was described. A literature review was performed with "burn" and "infective endocarditis" as the Chinese key words in Wanfang database; with "burn" and "infective endocarditis" as Mesh terms in PubMed. Results: The patient was a 37-year-old male with large area burn, who presented with fever and hemoptysis. Blood cultures were positive for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Echocardiography disclosed vegetations located in the tricuspid valve. Multiple wedge-shaped lesions were found on chest CT. From January 1978 to December 2015, 26 related articles were retrieved and 134 burned patients complicated with endocarditis were reported, of which, 97 cases were IE and 1 case with SPE. Of the 134 cases, 120 cases were dead, 12 cases cured and 2 cases unknown. The mortality was 89.6%. Conclusions: There was a high mortality of burned patients complicated with IE. SPE should be considered for patients with multiple peripheral nodules in both lungs and a positive blood culture. Combination and prolonged anti-infective therapy may increase the treatment success and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the immunophenotypic features of peripheral lymphocytes in adult patients with Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)-associated infectious mononucleosis(IM) and chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV). METHODS Eighteen IM patients, 12 CAEBV patients and 18 healthy donors were included. Lymphocyte subsets including CD3(-)CD19(+) B cells, CD3(-)CD16/56(+) NK cells, CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry. The expression of activation markers (HLA-DR and CD38) on CD8(+) T cells and CD28 expression on T cells were also determined. Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare variables among groups. RESULTS IM patients had dramatically increased CD8(+) T cell counts than healthy donors (5.22×10(9)/L vs 0.54×10(9)/L, P<0.001). B cell counts moderately reduced in patients with IM than in healthy donors. No difference was found in absolute CD4(+) T cell and NK cell counts between IM and healthy donors. The levels of HLA-DR and CD38 on CD8(+) T cells significantly increased in IM patients compared with those in healthy controls. The intensity of CD28 on CD8(+) T cells significantly decreased, which was not seen on CD4(+) T cells. The median cell counts of B, NK, CD4(+) T and CD8(+) T subsets in CAEBV patients were 0.02×10(9)/L, 0.06×10(9)/L, 0.26×10(9)/L and 0.21×10(9)/L respectively, which were significantly lower than those in healthy donors (0.22×10(9)/L, 0.38×10(9)/L, 0.78×10(9)/L, 0.54×10(9)/L)and IM patients (0.12×10(9)/L, 0.40×10(9)/L, 0.91×10(9)/L, 5.22×10(9)/L). The positive rates of HLA-DR and CD38 on CD8(+) T cells in CAEBV patients were higher than those in healthy controls, but lower than those in IM patients. CONCLUSIONS The immunophenotypic pattern in adult patients with IM is characterized by a dramatic increase of extensively activated CD8(+) T cells, a moderate reduction of CD19(+) B cells and no significant change of CD4(+) T cells and CD16/56(+) NK cells. CAEBV is featured by an immunosuppression status as demonstrated by significantly decreased B, NK, CD4(+) T and CD8(+) T subsets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors of neurological complications (NC) in left-sided infective endocarditis (IE) and to assess its impact on the outcome and cardiac surgery. METHODS Clinical data, NC, treatment and outcome of patients with definite left-sided IE admitted to our hospital during 2001-2012 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 308 patients with age of (45.3±15.9) years were enrolled. Among them, 65 (21.1%) experienced at least one NC. Independent risk factors associated with NC were large vegetation (HR=1.681, 95%CI 1.013-2.788, P=0.044), non-neurologic embolism (HR=1.820, 95%CI 1.068-3.100, P=0.028), mitral valve involvement (HR=1.888, 95%CI 1.089-3.274, P=0.024), Staphylococcus aureus infection (HR=2.054, 95%CI 1.097-3.846, P=0.044), and uncontrolled infection (HR=4.680, 95%CI 2.563-8.546, P<0.001). During a median follow-up for 17 months, 70 (22.7%) patients died. NC had a negative impact on long-term outcome (HR=2.292, 95%CI 1.274-4.122, P=0.006). Valve replacement surgery was performed in 156(50.6%)patients, which was associated with a lower rate of 1-year IE-related death (HR=0.160, 95%CI 0.063-0.405, P<0.001). Among patients with NC, valve replacement surgery was associated with lower rates of in-hospital mortality and 1-year IE-related mortality (14.8% vs 5.3%, 18.5% vs 73.7%, respectively, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Independent risk factors of NC include large vegetation, non-neurologic embolism, mitral valve involvement, Staphylococcus aureus infection, and uncontrolled infection. Neurologic complications link to the poor prognosis in patients with left-sided IE. Valve surgery is considered as a safe procedure and improves the survival.

Abstract
To investigate that prohibitin is probably concerned in B--lymphocyte--like cells mediated signal pathways in Lamprey, a necessary and fundamental plan is firstly conducted. A full--length cDNA encoding the prohibitin1 protein was cloned from Lampetra japonica by EST sequence analysis in L. japonica leukocyte cDNA library conducted by our laboratory. Prohibitin1 contains a 828 bp open reading frame, encoded 275 amino acids residues, and molecular weight is 29.9517 KD, isoelectric point is 6.93, consists of 31 negatively charged amino acids residues (Asp+Glu) and 21 positively charged ones (Arg+Lys). The Prohibitin1 gene sequence from L. japonica is 71% identical to the ones of other 24 eukaryotic species, which shows the putative prohibitin1 gene is highly conserved. Western blotting analysis results showed the recombinant proteins were the target proteins in prokaryote. Real--time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that the expression of the prohibitin1 gene is significantly up--regulated in leukocyte, heart and gill of L. japonica by LPS stress treatment. In conclusion, we have cloned and identified the full--length cDNA of Prohibitin1 in L. japonica and found that it was related to adaptive immune response in lamprey for the first time.

Abstract
We investigate theoretically the effects of a nanotube on the graphene nanoribbon Landau level spectrum utilizing the tight-binding model. The addition of a nanotube changes the original dispersionless Landau subbands into distorted parabolic ones, creates additional band-edge states, and modifies the subband spacings. Moreover, the dispersion relations rely sensitively on the nanotube location. The nanotube-ribbon couplings disrupt the Landau wavefunctions and lift their spatial symmetry, which will change the selection rule of optical transitions. The numbers, frequencies and heights of the density of states (DOS) peaks are found to be strongly dependent on the magnetic flux density and the nanotube location. The evolution of the DOS peak with the magnetic flux density is explored. The graphene nanoribbon Landau levels are shown to be modified in an unexpected fashion by the nanotube-ribbon interactions. These predictions can be validated by measuring the spectra of scanning tunneling experiments or magneto-optical experiments, and they are most observable by placing the nanotube at the electron wavefunction localization sites.

Abstract
No clear data exists regarding the initiating process of medial care delivery in cases of humanitarian rescue for advanced and debilitating patient conditions. We report on the delivery of care from a hospital located in a rural area in Southern Taiwan to a desperate patient from a country across the world in Lima, Peru. The patient is a 45-year old woman with unilateral severe, progressive primary lymphedema of 26 years who was scheduled to undergo a high femoral amputation for infections, lymphatic leak, inability to ambulate, and symptomatic cardiomegaly. All arrangements for care, including dental restoration, were made by our hospital in collaboration with the government of Peru. Upon multi-departmental consultation, an 8-hour Charles procedure was performed removing 47 kg of lymphedematous thigh and leg tissue. Eleven months postoperatively the patient is healed and ambulating without assistance. Her weight dropped from 120 to 73 kg. This case of humanitarian action demonstrates intense collaboration and coordination between two governments with dialogue, diplomatic success, a lymphedema surgical feat, and ultimately a successful outcome for the patient.

Abstract
In this work we use the tight-binding model to study the electronic properties of nanotube-ribbon hybrid systems. The nanotube-ribbon interactions will modify state energies, alter energy gaps, destroy state degeneracy, and create additional band-edge states. The bandstructures are asymmetric and symmetric about the Fermi energy when the interactions are turned on and off, respectively. The energy gap is found to vary sensitively with the nanotube location. Moreover, semiconductor-metal transition is predicted for nanotube-ribbon hybrid systems (I) and (III). For a zigzag ribbon, the partial flat bands at E(F) are almost unaffected by the nanotube-ribbon coupling although the bandstructures have been noticeably modified by such coupling; the energy gap of system (IV) is always zero. The effects of nanotube diameter and ribbon width on the energy gap and the density of states are also investigated. The semiconductor-metal transition can be accomplished by varying the nanotube location, the nanotube diameter or the ribbon width. The main features of the bandstructure are directly reflected in the density of states. The numbers, heights, and energies of the density of states peaks are strongly dependent on the nanotube-ribbon hoppings.

Abstract
The electronic and transport properties of carbon nanotubes subject to the influences of a transverse electric field and an arbitrary magnetic field are studied by the tight-binding model. The external fields would modify the energy dispersions, destroy the state degeneracy, change the symmetry characteristics, alter the energy gap, modulate the electron effective mass, and create extra band-edge states. The energy gap and the electron effective mass exhibit a rich dependence on the field strength, the magnetic field direction, and the types of carbon nanotubes. A semiconductor-metal transition would be allowed for certain field strengths and magnetic field directions. The variations of energy dispersions with the external fields will also be reflected in the conductance. Special features of the conductance, such as single-shoulder, multi-shoulder, and spike structures, are predicted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among survivors. METHODS 110 survivors with confirmed SARS were evaluated at the Prince of Wales Hospital, HK at the end of 3 and 6 months after symptom onset. The assessment included lung volumes (TLC, VC, RV, FRC), spirometry (FVC, FEV1), carbon monoxide transfer factor (TLCO adjusted for haemoglobin), inspiratory and expiratory respiratory muscle strength (Pimax and Pemax), 6 minute walk distance (6MWD), chest radiographs, and HRQoL by SF-36 questionnaire. RESULTS There were 44 men and 66 women with a mean (SD) age of 35.6 (9.8) years and body mass index of 23.1 (4.8) kg/m2. Seventy (64%) were healthcare workers. At 6 months 33 subjects (30%) had abnormal chest radiographs; four (3.6%), eight (7.4%), and 17 (15.5%) patients had FVC, TLC, and TLCO below 80% of predicted values; and 15 (13.9%) and 24 (22.2%) had Pimax and Pemax values below 80 cm H2O, respectively. The 6MWD increased from a mean (SD) of 464 (83) m at 3 months to 502 (95) m (95% CI 22 to 54 m, p<0.001), but the results were lower than normal controls in the same age groups. There was impairment of HRQoL at 6 months. Patients who required ICU admission (n = 31) had significantly lower FVC, TLC, and TLCO than those who did not. CONCLUSION The exercise capacity and health status of SARS survivors was considerably lower than that of a normal population at 6 months. Significant impairment in surface area for gas exchange was noted in 15.5% of survivors. The functional disability appears out of proportion to the degree of lung function impairment and may be related to additional factors such as muscle deconditioning and steroid myopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental allografting of fetal cardiomyocytes has been performed successfully. In this study, we attempted to transplant rat fetal cardiomyocytes into the hearts of mice by blocking the CD28/B7 costimulatory pathway via CTLA4-Ig gene transfer. METHODS Fetal cardiomyocytes derived from Dark Agouti rat were infected with CTLA4-Ig-expressing adenovirus vectors (AdCTLA) and injected directly into the normal myocardium of C3H/He mice (n=15). For control, cells infected with beta-Gal-expressing adenovirus vector (AdRL) and cells without infection were injected into additional mice (n=30). Mice were killed at 2 (n=5), 4 (n=5), and 8 (n=5) weeks after xenotransplantation. Transplanted fetal cardiomyocytes were examined for survival by immunostaining with anti-rat atrial natriuretic peptide and anti-CTLA4-Ig antibodies. RESULTS Fetal cardiomyocytes were successfully infected by AdCTLA and AdRL. The cardiomyocytes infected with AdCTLA expressed CTLA4-Ig and survived to 8 weeks after xenotransplantation in all of these mice. However, cardiomyocytes infected with AdRL and noninfected cells were not detected even 2 weeks after xenotransplantation. CONCLUSION Survival of xenografted fetal cardiomyocytes is prolonged by adenovirus-mediated CTLA4-Ig expression.

Abstract
The phenomenon of primary neoplasms inhibiting the growth of their metastatic lesions is thought to be related to endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the influence of tumour resection on angiostatin levels and tumour growth using a tumour-bearing mouse model. A primary Lewis lung cancer tumour model was established in C57BL/6 mice and these mice were divided into two groups 10 days after the tumour cells were inoculated. In the surgical resection group (S group) the tumour was resected, but in the control group (C group) a sham operation was performed. The level of angiostatin in the sera was analysed 5 days after the operation by western blotting. To observe tumour growth, four Lewis lung cancer models were established in these mice from both the S and C groups. An immunohistochemical analysis of the tumour tissues was conducted to estimate the proliferation and apoptotic rates of the tumour cells, as well as the amount of neoangiogenesis in the tumours. Angiostatin was observed in the tumour-bearing mice, but disappeared within 5 days after the tumour had been resected. Increased tumour growth was observed in all of the tumour models in the S group compared with the C group and the differences were significant. A significantly higher intratumour vessel density and proliferation cell index, but a significantly lower apoptotic index were also found in the S group compared with the C group. These findings demonstrated that angiostatin was generated directly from the tumour tissue. Furthermore, tumour resection accelerates the growth of other tumours and this is probably related to multiple factors including increased neoangiogenesis, increased tumour cell proliferation, and decreased apoptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The antitumor effect of isolated lung perfusion with cisplatin was limited because the intracellular platinum concentration did not increase sufficiently. To solve this problem, digitonin, a detergent, was chosen to increase cell permeability and enhance intracellular uptake and antitumor effect. This study was designed to investigate toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of isolated lung perfusion with the combined use of digitonin and cisplatin in Fischer 344 rats. METHODS Systemic and local toxicities of isolated lung perfusion treatment were evaluated on the basis of body weight change, survival rate, and histologic findings. The maximal tolerated dose of digitonin was determined by assessing survival on day 21 after contralateral pneumonectomy, body weight change, and histologic findings. Pharmacokinetics were observed in a solitary lung tumor nodule model by measuring platinum concentration in tumor and normal lung tissue. The antitumor effect was evaluated by the number of tumor nodules in the left lung 21 days after isolated lung perfusion. Isolated lung perfusion was performed 7 days after 1.0 x 10(6) methylcholanthrene sarcoma cells were injected into the external jugular vein. RESULTS The maximal tolerated dose of digitonin was 20 micromol/L. Platinum concentration of tumor nodules in the digitonin-cisplatin-treated rats was 20% higher than in the cisplatin-only group (5.48 +/- 0.64 microg/g tissue versus 4.50 +/- 1.09 microg/g tissue; p = 0.067). The number of pulmonary nodules decreased significantly by digitonin use (1.3 +/- 1.5 versus 9.7 +/- 2; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Isolated lung perfusion with digitonin and cisplatin in combination was performed safely and enhanced the antitumor effect. These drugs in combination show promise for enhancing the effect of clinical isolated lung perfusion.

Abstract
A new therapy for severe ischemic heart disease has been developed; therapeutic angiogenesis induced by the local implantation of autologous bone marrow cells (BMC). After confirming that no detrimental changes were induced by this treatment in a canine heart model, a clinical trial was commenced in 1999. Thus far, 5 patients have been given this new treatment concomitant with coronary artery bypass grafting and all have been followed up for at least 1 year. Autologous BMC were implanted into the ungraftable area and postoperative cardiac scintigraphy showed specific improvement in coronary perfusion in 3 of the 5 patients. Postoperative chest radiography, electrocardiography, echocardiography and blood tests did not reveal any detrimental changes. In conclusion, this new therapy appears to be safe and could provide a treatment option for patients with otherwise untreatable ischemic heart disease.
