Objective To explore the protective effect of resveratrol against oxidative damage to cultivated fibroblasts irradiated with UVB. Methods Fibroblasts from normal human skin cultured in vitro were divided into 5 groups (a normal control group, a group irradiated with UVB, a group treated with resveratrol before UVB irradiation, and a group treated after irradiation). A monolayer of fibroblasts was irradiated with UVB at 60 mJ/cm2. The vitality of the cells was measured using the methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) method. The activity of superoxide dis-mutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were determined using enzyme biochemistry. Results Resveratrol over 100 μM inhibited the proliferation of fibroblasts. Resveratrol under 100 μM improved the proliferation of cells. The optimal concentration was 50 μM. UVB irradiation decreased the vitality of the cells and SOD activity, and it significantly enhanced MDA content. Conclusions Resveratrol treatment before or after UVB irradiation elevates the survival rate of fibroblasts, enhances the activity of SOD, and decreases MDA content. Resveratrol at low concentration could improve the proliferation of fibroblasts, and at high concentration could inhibit their proliferation. Res-veratol at 50 μM relieves the inhibited proliferation of fibroblasts damaged by UVB irradiation.

An analytical method based on ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed for the determination of cyantraniliprole and its main metabolite J9 Z38 residues in pepper and soil. The fate of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 in pepper and soil was also evaluated. The target compounds were extracted with acetonitrile, cleaned up by C18 cartridge, and further analyzed by gradient ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization in positive mode ( ESI﹢) using a UPLC BEH C18 Column. The method was validated using fortified pepper and soil. Intra-day mean recoveries of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 at three spiked levels (0. 01, 0. 10 and 1. 00 mg/kg) ranged from 88. 6% to 105 . 7% with relative standard deviations of 3 . 8%-15 . 1%. Inter-day mean recoveries of cyantraniliprole and J9 Z38 were found between 91 . 4% and 105 . 3% with relative standard deviations of 4 . 9%-12 . 3% at three spiked levels. Limits of quantification ( LOQs) of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 were 0. 1 and 0. 2 μg/kg, respectively. Linear calibration functions with correlation coefficients of r>0. 9992 were obtained in the concentration range of 2. 0-128. 0 μg/L. This method was applied to the analysis of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 residues in real pepper and soil samples selected from field. The results of the residue dynamic experiment showed that the half-life of cyantraniliprole ranged from 9 . 2 to 11 . 2 days in pepper and from 9 . 2 to 20. 8 days in soil. While, the residues of J9Z38 in pepper were below LOQ, and the half-life of J9Z38 in soil was 9. 4 days. The degradation speed of cyantraniliprole increased with the increase of the precipitation.

In December 2019, a number of cases of pneumonia with unknown causes were successively reported in multiple hospitals in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The pathogen is a novel coronavirus, which can lead to novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) and even threaten the patients' lives. In the following, the COVID-19 epidemic is spreading rapidly in many provinces and cities. It is particularly important to summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in solid organ transplantation (SOT) recipients and to optimize the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment strategies. Therefore, we organized Chinese experts in the field of organ transplantation to draft this article according to the characteristics of lung infection of SOT recipients and the characteristics of current COVID-19 by referring to relevant guidelines and specifications at home and abroad, aiming to provide reference for transplant physicians in China. This management strategy will be revised at any time with the deepening understanding of the COVID-19 infection.

Objectives:
To explore the association between the polymorphism of persistent obesity and genetic variations in the LEP (human leptin gene, LEP) and LEPR (leptin receptor gene, LEPR) genes and different molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
Methods:
All 703 female patients of breast cancer diagnosed by histopathology in the Sichuan Cancer Hospital or the West China Hospital, excluding patients with metastatic breast cancer or mental disease, were selected as cases from April 2014 to May 2015. At the same time, 805 healthy women received physical examination in medical examination center of Sichuan People Hospital or Shuangliu maternal and child health care hospital, excluding those with therioma, breast disease, and mental disease, were enrolled in control group. A uniform questionnaire was used to collect general information including demographic characteristic, reproductive history height, weight, and so on. And the obesity status in recent 10 years was judged. Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer was used to determine the genotypes of LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101, while the multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the effect of risk factors related to breast cancer in different molecular subtypes; and then, the association between polymorphism of persistent obesity, the LEP, LEPR genes and breast cancer of different molecular subtypes was analyzed by binary logistic regression models.
Results:
The average age of controls was (48.98±8.83) years old, while the age of cases of TNBC, Luminal A, Luminal B, and HER-2+ were (51.43±11.33), (49.94±10.10), (49.73±9.38), (50.50±9.04) years old, respectively. The frequency of genotype LEP rs7799039, LEPR rs1137100 and LEPR rs1137101 in control group was separately 74.8%(1 157/1 546), 83.6%(1 339/1 602) and 88.4%(1 416/1 602); while 77.6% (1 074/1 384), 82.4% (1 155/1 402) and 87.9% (1 232/1 402) respectively in case group. Compared with non-persistent obesity subjects, the persistent obesity ones showed an increased risk in TNBC (

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for prognoses of patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) receiving bridging therapy (intravenous thrombolysis [IVT] combined with endovascular treatment [EVT]).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 404 patients with acute BAO accepted bridging therapy were collected from Endovascular Treatment for acute Basilar Artery Occlusion (ATTENTION) database. The prognoses of these patients were evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 90 d after treatment. The differences of clinical and imaging data between patients with good prognosis and poor prognosis were compared, and the independent influencing factors for prognoses were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results:Among 404 patients with acute BAO, 156 (39%) had good prognosis and 248 (61%) had poor prognosis. Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had significantly higher proportions of patients older than 65 years, patients with NIHSS scores>20 on admission, and patients with thrombectomy frequency>1, significantly lower proportion of patients with successful vascular recanalization, and significantly different distribution of occlusive sites ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS scores on admission>20 ( OR=0.510, 95%CI: 0.331-0.786, P=0.002), and occlusion site at the distal basilar artery ( OR=2.241, 95%CI: 1.357-3.702, P=0.002), thrombectomy frequency>1 ( OR=0.523, 95%CI: 0.339-0.807, P=0.003) and successful vascular recanalization ( OR=2.022, 95%CI: 1.032-3.961, P=0.040) were independent influencing factors for good prognosis of these patients. Conclusion:Acute BAO patients with NIHSS scores>20 on admission, thrombectomy frequency>1, non-distal BAO occlusion, and unsuccessful recanalization have poor prognosis after bridging therapy.

Background:
and Purpose To examine the clinical and safety outcomes after endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) with different anesthetic modalities.
Methods:
This was a retrospective analysis using data from the Endovascular Treatment for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion (ATTENTION) registry. Patients were divided into two groups defined by anesthetic modality performed during EVT: general anesthesia (GA) or non-general anesthesia (non-GA). The association between anesthetic management and clinical outcomes was evaluated in a propensity score matched (PSM) cohort and an inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) cohort to adjust for imbalances between the two groups.
Results:
Our analytic sample included 1,672 patients from 48 centers. The anesthetic modality was GA in 769 (46.0%) and non-GA in 903 (54.0%) patients. In our primary analysis with the PSM-based cohort, non-GA was comparable to GA concerning the primary outcome (adjusted common odds ratio [acOR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82 to 1.25; P=0.91). Mortality at 90 days was 38.4% in the GA group and 35.8% in the non-GA group (adjusted risk ratio, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.08; P=0.44). In our secondary analysis with the IPTW-based cohort, the anesthetic modality was significantly associated with the distribution of modified Rankin Scale at 90 days (acOR: 1.45 [95% CI: 1.20 to 1.75]).
Conclusion
In this nationally-representative observational study, acute ischemic stroke patients due to BAO undergoing EVT without GA had similar clinical and safety outcomes compared with patients treated with GA. These findings provide the basis for large-scale randomized controlled trials to test whether anesthetic management provides meaningful clinical effects for patients undergoing EVT.
