    Abstract: Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia is a spectrum of involuntary dyskinetic disorders with high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Mutations in proline‐rich transmembrane protein 2 have been identified as the major pathogenic factor. Objectives We analyzed 600 paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia patients nationwide who were identified by the China Paroxysmal Dyskinesia Collaborative Group to summarize the clinical phenotypes and genetic features of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia in China and to provide new thoughts on diagnosis and therapy. Methods The China Paroxysmal Dyskinesia Collaborative Group was composed of departments of neurology from 22 hospitals. Clinical manifestations and proline‐rich transmembrane protein 2 screening results were recorded using unified paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia registration forms. Genotype‐phenotype correlation analyses were conducted in patients with and without proline‐rich transmembrane protein 2 mutations. High‐knee exercises were applied in partial patients as a new diagnostic test to induce attacks. Results Kinesigenic triggers, male predilection, dystonic attacks, aura, complicated forms of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, clustering in patients with family history, and dramatic responses to antiepileptic treatment were the prominent features in this multicenter study. Clinical analysis showed that proline‐rich transmembrane protein 2 mutation carriers were prone to present at a younger age and have longer attack duration, bilateral limb involvement, choreic attacks, a complicated form of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia, family history, and more forms of dyskinesia. The new high‐knee‐exercise test efficiently induced attacks and could assist in diagnosis. Conclusions We propose recommendations regarding diagnostic criteria for paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia based on this large clinical study of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. The findings offered some new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia and might help in building standardized paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia clinical evaluations and therapies. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society

    Abstract: Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision‐making. We explore the love of money, pay satisfaction, probability of risk, and dishonesty across cultures. Avaricious monetary aspiration breeds unethicality. Prospect theory frames decisions in the gains‐losses domain and high‐low probability. Pay dissatisfaction (in the losses domain) incites dishonesty in the name of justice at the individual level. The Corruption Perceptions Index, CPI, signals a high‐low probability of getting caught for dishonesty at the country level. We theorize that decision‐makers adopt avaricious love‐of‐money aspiration as a lens and frame dishonesty in the gains‐losses domain (pay satisfaction‐dissatisfaction, Level 1) and high‐low probability (CPI, Level 2) to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity. We challenge the myth: Pay satisfaction mitigates dishonesty across nations consistently. Based on 6500 managers in 32 countries, our cross‐level three‐dimensional visualization offers the following discoveries. Under high aspiration conditions, pay dissatisfaction excites the highest‐ (third‐highest) avaricious justice‐seeking dishonesty in high (medium) CPI nations, supporting the certainty effect. However, pay satisfaction provokes the second‐highest avaricious opportunity‐seizing dishonesty in low CPI entities, sustaining the possibility effect—maximizing expected utility. Under low aspiration conditions, high pay satisfaction consistently leads to low dishonesty, demonstrating risk aversion—achieving ultimate serenity. We expand prospect theory from a micro and individual‐level theory to a cross‐level theory of monetary wisdom across 32 nations. We enhance the S‐shaped Curve to three 3‐D corruption surfaces across three levels of the global economic pyramid, providing novel insights into behavioral economics, business ethics, the environment, and responsibility.

    Abstract: Understanding the anatomical variations in the human cochlea is important for cochlear implants. This study examined these variations using a reconstructed fusion model of the skull and temporal bone. The three‐dimensional (3D) digital model of the temporal bone was reconstructed from multiple axial micro‐computed tomography (CT) scans of temporal bone and high resolution CT of the skull from 15 cadavers. A skull model was reconstructed and merged with the reconstructed temporal bone. The 3D relationship between the cochlea and the skull's mid‐sagittal plane was analyzed. The α and β angles of the cochlear autogenous rotation and bottom position, respectively, further subdivided the cochlear spatial orientation. The relationship between the base of the cochlea and the round window was evaluated with the Φ angle. Cochlear size was measured and the relationship was statistically analyzed. Cochlear implant electrode arrays were observed in five cases of right‐temporal bone specimens. The α, β, and Φ angles were 46.01 ± 9.65, 56.79 ± 3.58, and 44.41 ± 7.23, respectively. The α angle varied greatly and was negatively correlated to the Φ angle (correlation coefficient = −0.211, P   〈  0.05). Among the five specimens, the α and Φ angle of the 2R and 4R cochlear specimens was lower and higher than the mean value, respectively. These measurements revealed variations in the size and position of the cochlea. Some of these variations may require surgical adjustments for insertion of electrodes with cochlear implants and present a greater challenge for implantation of cochlear electrode implantation. These data also provide a better understanding of variations in human cochlear anatomy. Anat Rec, 301:1086–1095, 2018. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Abstract: Halolysins are T at‐dependent extracellular subtilases of haloarchaea. Whether halolysins can be activated before transport across the cytoplasmic membrane in a folded state and how haloarchaea minimize the risk of intracellular activation of halolysins and proteolysis of cellular proteins are unknown. Here, we report that both the precursor and proform of halolysin S pt A from N atrinema sp. J 7‐2 mature autocatalytically, and the S pt A maturation proceeds less efficiently in the presence of KCl than N a C l. When produced in H aloferax volcanii , most S pt A molecules are secreted into the culture medium, but a small number of molecules can be activated intracellularly, affecting the cell's growth. Furthermore, retardation of S pt A secretion in H fx. volcanii via mutation of the T at signal peptide leads to intracellular accumulation of the active enzyme and subsequent cell death. Although the S ec signal peptide can mediate S pt A secretion in H fx. volcanii , the secreted protein undergoes proteolysis. In N atrinema sp. J 7‐2, S pt A is secreted primarily during stationary phase, and the intracellular accumulation of mature enzyme occurs during the stationary and death phases. The growth phase‐dependent synthesis of S pt A , highly efficient secretion system, and high intracellular KC l concentration, contribute to the suppression of premature activation of this enzyme in N atrinema sp. J 7‐2.

    Abstract: Geographic differences exist in the antibiotic resistance patterns of Helicobacter pylori . Personalized treatment regimens based on local or individual resistance data are essential. We evaluated the current status of H. pylori resistance in Ningxia, analyzed resistance‐related factors, and assessed the concordance of phenotypic and genotypic resistance. Methods Strains were isolated from the gastric mucosa of patients infected with H. pylori in Ningxia and relevant clinical information was collected. Phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility assays (Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion) and antibiotic resistance gene detection (Sanger sequencing) were performed. Results We isolated 1955 H. pylori strains. The resistance rates of H. pylori to amoxicillin, levofloxacin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole were 0.9%, 42.4%, 40.4%, and 94.2%, respectively. Only five tetracycline‐resistant and one furazolidone‐resistant strain were identified. Overall, 3.3% of the strains were sensitive to all six antibiotics. Multidrug‐resistant strains accounted for 22.9%, of which less than 20% were from Wuzhong. Strains isolated from women and patients with nonulcerative disease had higher rates of resistance to levofloxacin and clarithromycin. Higher rates of resistance to metronidazole, levofloxacin, and clarithromycin were observed in the older age group than in the younger age group. The kappa coefficients of phenotypic resistance and genotypic resistance for levofloxacin and clarithromycin were 0.830 and 0.809, respectively, whereas the remaining antibiotics showed poor agreement. Conclusion H. pylori antibiotic resistance is severe in Ningxia. Therefore, furazolidone, amoxicillin, and tetracycline are better choices for the empirical therapy of H. pylori infection in this region. Host sex, age, and the presence of ulcerative diseases may affect antibiotic resistance of the bacteria. Personalized therapy based on genetic testing for levofloxacin and clarithromycin resistance may be a future direction for the eradication therapy of H. pylori infection in Ningxia.

    Abstract: Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is the most common type of paroxysmal dyskinesias. Only one‐third of PKD patients are attributed to proline‐rich transmembrane protein 2 ( PRRT2 ) mutations. Objective We aimed to explore the potential causative gene for PKD. Methods A cohort of 196 PRRT2 ‐negative PKD probands were enrolled for whole‐exome sequencing (WES). Gene Ranking, Identification and Prediction Tool, a method of case–control analysis, was applied to identify the candidate genes. Another 325 PRRT2 ‐negative PKD probands were subsequently screened with Sanger sequencing. Results Transmembrane Protein 151 ( TMEM151A) variants were mainly clustered in PKD patients compared with the control groups. 24 heterozygous variants were detected in 25 of 521 probands (frequency = 4.80%), including 18 missense and 6 nonsense mutations. In 29 patients with TMEM151A variants, the ratio of male to female was 2.63:1 and the mean age of onset was 12.93 ± 3.15 years. Compared with PRRT2 mutation carriers, TMEM151A ‐related PKD were more common in sporadic PKD patients with pure phenotype. There was no significant difference in types of attack and treatment outcome between TMEM151A ‐positive and PRRT2 ‐positive groups. Conclusions We consolidated mutations in TMEM151A causing PKD with the aid of case–control analysis of a large‐scale WES data, which broadens the genotypic spectrum of PKD. TMEM151A ‐related PKD were more common in sporadic cases and tended to present as pure phenotype with a late onset. Extensive functional studies are needed to enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of TMEM151A ‐related PKD. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society

    Abstract: With the development and generalization of endoscopic technology and screening, clinical application of magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (MCCG) has been increasing. In recent years, various types of MCCG are used globally. Therefore, establishing relevant guidelines on MCCG is of great significance. The current guidelines containing 23 statements were established based on clinical evidence and expert opinions, mainly focus on aspects including definition and diagnostic accuracy, application population, technical optimization, inspection process, and quality control of MCCG. The level of evidence and strength of recommendations were evaluated. The guidelines are expected to guide the standardized application and scientific innovation of MCCG for the reference of clinicians.

    Abstract: Highlights Zotarolimus‐eluting stents (ZES) demonstrated good performance in the Chinese diabetic population. This single‐arm study with a performance goal design revealed an acceptable rate of events, including cardiac death, revascularization and stent thrombosis, in Chinese diabetic patients receiving ZES. Moreover, ZES may have further utility in patients with poor glucose control, complex lesions, and unfavorable clinical features.

    Abstract: Recently, functional homotopy (FH) architecture, defined as robust functional connectivity (FC) between homotopic regions, has been frequently reported to be altered in MDD patients (MDDs) but with divergent locations. Methods In this study, we obtained resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R‐fMRI) data from 1004 MDDs (mean age, 33.88 years; age range, 18–60 years) and 898 matched healthy controls (HCs) from an aggregated dataset from 20 centers in China. We focused on interhemispheric function integration in MDDs and its correlation with clinical characteristics using voxel‐mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) devised to inquire about FH patterns. Results As compared with HCs, MDDs showed decreased VMHC in visual, motor, somatosensory, limbic, angular gyrus, and cerebellum, particularly in posterior cingulate gyrus/precuneus (PCC/PCu) (false discovery rate [FDR] q  〈  0.002, z = −7.07). Further analysis observed that the reduction in SMG and insula was more prominent with age, of which SMG reflected such age‐related change in males instead of females. Besides, the reduction in MTG was found to be a male‐special abnormal pattern in MDDs. VMHC alterations were markedly related to episode type and illness severity. The higher Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score, the more apparent VMHC reduction in the primary visual cortex. First‐episode MDDs revealed stronger VMHC reduction in PCu relative to recurrent MDDs. Conclusions We confirmed a significant VMHC reduction in MDDs in broad areas, especially in PCC/PCu. This reduction was affected by gender, age, episode type, and illness severity. These findings suggest that the depressive brain tends to disconnect information exchange across hemispheres.

    Abstract: Fresh‐cut lettuce has a short shelf‐life due to enzymatic browning and oxidative senescence. The present study investigated effects of polysaccharide‐based edible coatings (alginate, chitosan, and carrageenan) on enzymatic browning and antioxidant defense system of fresh‐cut lettuces during cold storage (4°C) for 15 days. The results showed that three coatings could inhibit enzymatic browning through maintaining total phenolics (TP) content and decreasing polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) activities. These coatings also reduced phospholipase D (PLD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) activities, lowered malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and enhanced antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD; peroxidase, POD; catalase, CAT; ascorbate peroxidase, APX) activities. Besides, all coatings positively affected sensory properties of fresh‐cut lettuces after 3 days storage. Additionally, among three coating treatments, chitosan coating had the most positive effects on quality of fresh‐cut lettuce and was the most suitable coating for retarding enzymatic browning and alleviating membrane oxidative damage. These results indicated that polysaccharide‐based edible coatings were helpful to maintain quality, inhibit enzymatic browning, and postpone senescence of fresh‐cut lettuce.
