    Abstract Background: In cervicothoracic junction, the use of strong fixation device such as pedicle screw placement is often needed.
    Objective: The current study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of pedicle screw placement using stress conduction analysis in the clinical application.
    Methods: We retrospectively collected patients who underwent pedicle screw internal fixation in cervicothoracic junction. Patients were divided into conventional nail placement (Group A) and modified pedicle screw implantation under guidance of stress analysis (Group B) according to the methods of pedicle screw placement. The accuracy of pedicle screw placement was assessed by computed tomography (CT) examination, and the success rate was calculated.
    Results: A total of 80 patients who underwent pedicle screw internal fixation in cervicothoracic junction were included. There were no obvious differences in baseline characteristics between two groups. The success rate of total screw placement, cervical spine screw placement and upper thoracic spine screw placement in Group B was higher than those in Group A (P< 0.001, P= 0.005, P= 0.008). Additionally, Heary Grade I in the Group B was higher than Group A (P= 0.001).
    Conclusion: Stress analysis-guided technique can increase the accuracy of pedicle screw placement. Importantly, it meets the requirements of internal fixation of the cervicothoracic junction.

    Abstract The evaporative emissions of anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOCs) are sensitive to ambient temperature. This sensitivity forms an air pollution-meteorology connection that has not been assessed on a regional scale. We parametrized the temperature dependence of evaporative AVOC fluxes in a regional air quality model and evaluated the impacts on surface ozone in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) area of China during the summer of 2017. The temperature dependency of AVOC emissions drove an enhanced simulated ozone-temperature sensitivity of 1.0 to 1.8 μg m

    Abstract High-mercury wet deposition in the southeastern United States has been noticed for many years. Previous studies came up with a theory that it was associated with high-altitude divalent mercury scavenged by convective precipitation. Given the coarse resolution of previous models (e.g., GEOS-Chem), this theory is still not fully tested. Here we employed a newly developed WRF-GEOS-Chem (WRF-GC; WRF: Weather Research Forecasting) model implemented with mercury simulation (WRF-GC-Hg v1.0). We conduct extensive model benchmarking by comparing WRF-GC with different resolutions (from 50 to 25 km) to GEOS-Chem output (4 ∘ × 5 ∘ ) and data from the Mercury Deposition Network (MDN) in July–September 2013. The comparison of mercury wet deposition from two models presents high-mercury wet deposition in the southeastern United States. We divided simulation results by heights (2, 4, 6, 8 km), different types of precipitation (large-scale and convective), and combinations of these two variations together and find most mercury wet deposition concentrates on higher level and is caused by convective precipitation. Therefore, we conclude that it is the deep convection that caused enhanced mercury wet deposition in the southeastern United States.

    Abstract The carcinogenicity of radon has been convincingly documented through epidemiological studies of underground miners. The risk of lung cancer from radon exposure is due to the continuous radioactive decay of this gas and subsequent emission of high-energy alpha decay particles. And the bronchial epithelial cells are the main targets of radon exposure. However, there is a lack of early warning indicators of lung cancer caused by radon in the physical examination of populations involved in occupations with higher exposure to radon. To assess the potential of a molecular-based marker approach for the early detection of human lung cancer induced by radon, human bronchial epithelial cell injury models induced by alpha-particle irradiation were constructed. The results of transwell migration assay, transwell invasion assay, and the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related proteins showed that malignant cell transformation could be triggered by alpha irradiation. Potential microRNAs (miRNAs) (hsa-miR-3907, hsa-miR-6732-3p, hsa-miR-4788, hsa-miR-5001-5p, and hsa-miR-4257) were screened using miRNA chips in cell models. The pathway analyses of miRNAs selected using DIANA-miRPath v3.0 showed that miRNAs involved in malignant cell transformation were associated with cell adhesion molecules, extracellular matrix receptor interaction, and proteoglycans in cancer, among others, which are closely related to the occurrence and development of carcinogenesis. Reverse Transcription Quantitative Real-Time PCR (RT-qPCR) assay showed that five screened miRNAs were up-regulated in five lung cancer tissue samples. In conclusion, the results indicated that hsa-miR-3907, hsa-miR-6732-3p, hsa-miR-4788, hsa-miR-5001-5p, and hsa-miR-4257 may be potential early markers of the malignant transformation of bronchial epithelial cells induced by alpha-particle irradiation.

    Abstract Since its first confirmed case at the end of 2019, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic in three months with more than 1.4 million confirmed cases worldwide, as of early April 2020. Quantifying the changes of pollutant emissions due to COVID-19 and associated governmental control measures is crucial to understand its impacts on economy, air pollution, and society. We used the WRF-GC model and the tropospheric NO2 column observations retrieved by the TROPOMI instrument to derive the top-down NOx emission change estimation between the three periods: P1 (January 1st to January 22nd, 2020), P2 (January 23rd, Wuhan lockdown, to February 9th, 2020), and P3 (February 10th, back-to-work day, to March 12th, 2020). We found that NOx emissions in East China averaged during P2 decreased by 50% compared to those averaged during P1. The NOx emissions averaged during P3 increased by 26% compared to those during P2. Most provinces in East China gradually regained some of their NOx emissions after February 10, the official back-to-work day, but NOx emissions in most provinces have not yet to return to their previous levels in early January. NOx emissions in Wuhan, the first epicenter of COVID-19, had no sign of emission recovering by March 12. A few provinces, such as Zhejiang and Shanxi, have recovered fast, with their averaged NOx emissions during P3 almost back to pre-lockdown levels.

    Abstract Background: Intracellular calcium overload has been implicated in various pathological conditions including ischemia reperfusion injury. This study aims to explore the effect and probable mechanism of dantrolene, a ryanodine receptor and intracellular calcium antagonist, on the skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion injury.
    Materials and methods: SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham group which underwent anaesthesia and exposure of femoral vein, reperfusion group that received 2 h ischemia and the amount of diluent via femoral vein before 4 h reperfusion, dantrolene group that underwent 2 h ischemia and was given 2 mg/kg dantrolene via femoral vein before 4 h reperfusion. The parameters measured at the end of reperfusion included serum maleic dialdehyde (MDA), tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO) and muscle histology, as well as serum TNF-α and IL-10.
    Results: Levels of MDA, MPO and TNF-α increased in the reperfusion group, whereas the relevant expressions in the dantrolene group decreased significantly. Histological examination demonstrated significant improvements between the same both groups. IL-10 reflected the protection observed above with a significant up-regulation of expression after dantrolene administration.
    Conclusion: Ryanodine receptor antagonist dantrolene exerted a significant protective effect against the inflammatory injury of skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion. The underlying molecular mechanism is probably related to the suppression of TNF-α levels and the increment of IL-10 expression.

    Abstract The carcinogenicity of radon has been convincingly documented through epidemiological studies of underground miners. However, there is a lack of early warning indicators for radon radiation damage. In this study, mixed serum samples of 3 groups were collected from 27 underground uranium miners and seven aboveground miners according to the radiation exposure dose. The differentially expressed proteins in the serum were identified using the isobaric tags for the relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based method. Some differentially expressed proteins were validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 84 underground and 32 aboveground miners. A total of 25 co-differentially expressed proteins in 2 underground miner groups were screened, of which 9 were downregulated and 13 were upregulated. Biological process analysis of these proteins using Metascape showed that 5 GO terms were enriched, such as negative regulation of very-low-density lipoprotein particle clearance, endocytosis, and regulated exocytosis. The results of the ELISA for the expression levels of GCN1, CIP2A, and IGHV1-24 in the serum of 116 miners' serum showed that the levels of GCN1 and CIP2A were consistent with the iTRAQ results. In conclusion, APOC1, APOC2, APOC3, ORM1, ORM2, ANTXR1, GCN1, and CIP2A may be potential early markers of radon radiation damage.
