    Abstract: As an active substance isolated from the root of Morinda officinalis How., rubiadin-1-methyl ether (RBM), can improve osteoporosis due to its inhibition on osteoclastogenesis. Autophagy plays a key role in osteoclastogenesis. Our research aims to explore the relationship between RBM, autophagy, and osteoclastogenesis. Our results showed that RBM not only inhibited the differentiation level of osteoclasts and the proliferation ability of osteoclast precursors (OCPs), but also repressed the autophagic activity in OCPs (LC3 transformation and the number of autophagosomes observed by transmission electron microscopy). However, RBM-inhibited osteoclast differentiation and OCP autophagy (LC3 transformation and LC3-puncta formation) could be reversed by the application of TAT-Beclin1. Moreover, RBM administration reduced RANKL-induced p65 phosphorylation and p65 nuclear translocation in OCPs. In addition, the addition of RBM inhibited Beclin1 protein level and BECN1 (the gene form of Beclin1) mRNA level in OCPs increased by RANKL. Importantly, the reduction in the expression of BECN1 and Beclin1, LC3 transformation, and osteoclastic differentiation in OCPs caused by RBM were reversed by p65 overexpression. In conclusion, RBM may reduce the transcription of BECN1 by inhibiting the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, thereby inhibiting Beclin1-dependent autophagy and RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

    Abstract: D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer improves oncological outcomes. This meta-analysis aimed to compare operation data, histopathological characteristics, perioperative conditions, and long-term survival after D3 and D2 lymphadenectomy in right hemicolectomy. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for relevant articles (up to March 31, 2020). Random-effects and fixed-effects meta-analysis models were used. Review Manager (RevMan) version 5.3 and Stata version 15.1 were used for pooled estimates. Results After screening 714 articles, 7 articles with a total of 1368 patients were eligible for inclusion. Compared with D2, D3 lymphadenectomy improves results in terms of blood loss (weighted mean difference [WMD] = −20.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] −28.19 to −13.16, P 〈 .01), harvested lymph nodes (WMD = 8.86, 95% CI 7.74 to 9.98, P 〈 .01), 3-year overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.03, 95% CI 1.20 to 3.43, P 〈 .01), 5-year OS (HR = 2.22, 95% CI 1.15 to 4.30, P = .02), and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.16, 95% CI 1.19 to 3.90, P = .01). There was no significant difference regarding operation time, anastomosis leakage, wound infection, overall morbidity, postoperative hospital stay, mortality, length of dissected colon, and 3-year DFS ( P 〉 = .05). Conclusions It is suggested in this review that D3 lymphadenectomy is superior to D2 lymphadenectomy in terms of blood loss, harvested lymph nodes, 3-year OS, 5-year OS, and 5-year DFS. The conclusion must be drawn with caution due to the limited number of included studies. Further RCTs are needed for stronger evidence.

    Abstract: Objective: To investigate the technique and efficacy of fully endoscope resection of intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILS) by transcanal transpromontorial endoscopic approach (TTEA). Study Design: Retrospective case review. Setting: Hospital. Patients: All patients who were affected by ILS, without extension to the internal auditory canal and underwent surgery with TTEA in our hospital in 2020. Intervention(s): Therapeutic. Main Outcome Measure(s): Recovery status, postoperative complications and remaining symptoms after surgery. Results: Three patients were included, all of which underwent gross total resections. The follow-up period was from 10 months to 2 years. No intraoperative and postoperative major complications were observed. There was no facial paralysis or cerebrospinal fluid leakage postoperatively. The hospitalization time of TTEA was 5 days. Three patients’ vertigo was relieved after 1 week without receiving vestibular therapy. Only 1 patient complained of transient episodes of vertigo when climbing or holding heavy objects. Conclusions: TTEA has the advantages of clear vision to identify the anatomical structure, enabling complete tumor resection, reduced operation time, and faster postoperative recovery. Level of Evidence: IV

    Abstract: Bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs)have great therapeutic potential for the repair of diabetic lower-limb ischemia because of their proangiogenic properties. However, cells transplanted into an ischemic environment have reduced cell survival rates and impaired angiogenic capacity in vivo. We explored hypoxia pretreatment as a method to promote BM-MSC survival by inducing autophagy. Our results showed that hypoxic pretreatment has no effect on the phenotype or differentiation capacity of BM-MSCs; however, hypoxia increased viability and reduced apoptosis in cells treated with lipopolysaccharide. Immunofluorescence and western blot results showed that hypoxia pretreatment enhances cell autophagy mediated by elevated expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). The AMPK/mTOR (adenosine monophosphate–activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway was also activated in BM-MSCs during hypoxia-enhanced autophagy. It is important to note that hypoxia pretreatment in BM-MSCs significantly enhanced cell survival and promoted angiogenesis in the lower limb of ischemic diabetic rats. In conclusion, hypoxia pretreatment enhances survival in BM-MSCs, promoting angiogenesis by increasing autophagy and significantly decreasing apoptosis. Therefore, modulation of autophagy with hypoxic pretreatment may provide a novel strategy to improve MSC-based therapies.

    Abstract: To solve the problem of front wheels being jammed due to the passive trajectory tracking of the conventional car-like robot in the leader–follower formation control, we propose a novel car-like robot with the integration of front-wheel driving and steering. We establish its kinematic model, then analyze its controllability via the method of chained form system, and design the trajectory-tracking controller via the backstepping method. Simulations and experimental results validate our algorithm. This novel car-like robot with the integration of front-wheel driving and steering system not only avoids the jamming in the formation motion, but also owes the advantages of compacter structure, lighter body, and lower energy consumption.

    Abstract: In this study, the experiments were carried out in a circulating fluidized bed with different coal bed methane and coal gangue mixing ratios. The results show that bed temperature distribution becomes well-proportioned and the combustion efficiency increases when coal bed methane was introduced. The NO emission increases along with the excess air coefficient rise. The SO 2 emission reduces first and then increases with the rising bed temperature and there is an optimum temperature corresponding to the lowest SO 2 emission. At the same time, the effects of the bed temperature and excess air coefficient on pollutant emissions are more obvious when coal bed methane and coal gangue mixing ratio is less than 0.3. In the experiments, the best operation conditions have been found at coal bed methane and coal gangue mixing ratio of 0.2 and excess air coefficient of less than 1.3. The results show that the co-combustion of coal bed methane and coal gangue in circulating fluidized bed is feasible and provides some references for the combustion optimization.

    Abstract: Human umbilical cord–derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) are multipotent, primitive, and have been widely used for skin tissue engineering. Their transdifferentiation is determined by the local microenvironment. In this study, we investigated the potential epidermal differentiation of UC-MSCs and the formation of epidermis substitutes in a 3-dimensional (3D) microenvironment, which was fabricated by UC-MSCs embedded into collagen–chitosan scaffolds (CCSs) combined with an air–liquid interface (ALI) culture system. Using fluorescence microscope, we observed that UC-MSCs were spindle-shaped and evenly distributed in the scaffold. Methyl thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide assay and Live/Dead assay indicated that the CCSs have good biocompatibility with UC-MSCs. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting assay showed that UC-MSCs on the surface of the CCSs were positive for the epidermal markers cytokeratin 19 and involucrin at 14 days. In addition, hematoxylin–eosin staining indicated that multilayered epidermis substitutes were established. The constructed epidermis substitutes were applied to treat full-thickness wounds in rats and proved to promote wound healing. In conclusion, manipulating the 3D microenvironment is a novel method for inducing the epidermal differentiation of MSCs to engineer epidermal substitutes, which provides an alternative strategy for skin tissue engineering.
