    Abstract Self-gripping mesh is widely used in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and some researches report its advantages compared with conventional mesh. The aim of this study was to assess outcomes of self-gripping mesh and conventional mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. A systematic literature review was undertaken to identify studies comparing the results of self-gripping mesh and conventional mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Outcomes, including recurrence, chronic pain, operation time, hematoma, seroma and infection, were measured. Four randomized controlled trials and 1 prospective comparative study were analyzed. The incidence of chronic pain in self-gripping group was significantly lower than that in conventional group (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.20, 0.93, P = 0.03), and there was no significant difference in hernia recurrence (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.03, 3.06, P = 0.32), operation time (MD 0.06, 95%CI - 2.32, 2.44, P = 0.96), hematoma (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.33, 3.07, P = 0.99) and seroma (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.49, 1.66, P = 0.73). Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using self-gripping mesh is associated with a decreased incidence of chronic pain compared with conventional mesh, without increased postoperative complications.

    Abstract The loess-paleosol sequences of southern China are valuable paleoclimatic archives since the Middle Pleistocene, on the regional and global scales. Knowledge of loess provenance can shed light on dust transport and the development of paleoclimatic proxies for loess deposits. However, there is a research gap regarding the provenance of the Oldest (∼0.9 Ma) Xiashu loess near the Yangtze River valley. The precise source area of the Xuancheng loess in southern China remains to be unidentified. In this study, we used elemental geochemistry and detrital zircon UPb ages to identify the sources of the Oldest Xiashu loess and Xuancheng loess in southern China. The Oldest Xiashu loess is dominantly derived from Yangtze River sediments, and part of its fine-grained dust component originates from the arid regions of Central Asia or northern China. The elemental compositions of the size-fractionated silicates and detrital zircon UPb ages of the Xuancheng loess are like those of the Shuiyang River sediments in the Xuancheng region. These results demonstrate that the Xuancheng loess is mainly the product of local dust activity in the Xuancheng regions, and thus that the Xiashu and Xuancheng loess are the products of independent dust transport processes. This spatial differentiation of loess provenance may be a widespread phenomenon in southern China, and consequently, the grain size compositions of the various loess sections in southern China cannot be used to recover paleo-wind directions on a regional scale. Overall, our study shows that when the grain size compositions from the southern China loess are used to reconstruct East Asian winter monsoon intensity, the signals from local wind fields should first be removed.

    Abstract Objective: We aimed to investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (lnc-NEAT1) on regulating hepatocyte proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation during hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
    Methods: Human liver cells (HL-7702) were cultured under glucose-free and oxygen-free conditions to construct the I/R injury model. Expression of lnc-NEAT1 was detected in this model and in normal cells. Plasmids of control overexpression [NC(+)], lnc-NEAT1 overexpression [NEAT1(+)], control short hairpin (sh)RNA [NC(-)], and lnc-NEAT1 shRNA [NEAT1(-)] were transfected into HL-7702 cells and subsequently subjected to I/R treatment. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, apoptosis-related proteins, and inflammatory cytokines were assessed.
    Results: Lnc-NEAT1 expression was elevated in the I/R group compared with the normal group. Cell proliferation was decreased in the NEAT1(+) group compared with the NC(+) group but increased in NEAT1(-) compared with NC(-). The apoptosis rate increased in the NEAT1(+) group compared with the NC(+) group but decreased in NEAT1(-) compared with NC(-). Western blot assay (detection of apoptosis-related proteins) showed similar results. Expression of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α increased in the NEAT1(+) group compared with NC(+) but decreased in NEAT1(-) compared with NC(-).
    Conclusion: Lnc-NEAT1 is overexpressed, induces cell apoptosis and inflammation, and inhibits proliferation during hepatic I/R injury.

    Abstract Strain CQ16Z1ᵀ was isolated from jamiecosley, a traditional Chinese pickle. The isolate was Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, catalase-negative, and long rod-shaped. The optimal temperature for growth was 37 °C and the DNA G + C content was 39.1 mol%. The results of 16S rRNA and rpoA gene sequencing, DNA–DNA hybridization, and peptidoglycan type analyses indicated that strain CQ16Z1ᵀ belongs to the recognized species Lactobacillus futsaii. However, the analysis results of pheS gene sequencing, amplified fragment length polymorphism, phenotypic profiles, cellular fatty acid, cell-wall monosaccharide determination, and cell morphology revealed that the novel strain was obviously different from the type strain L. futsaii JCM17355ᵀ, and had genetic relationship with Weissella cibaria to a certain degree, suggesting that the novel strain represents a novel subspecies of L. futsaii, for which the following names are proposed: L. futsaii subsp. futsaii subsp. nov. (type strain YM0097ᵀ = JCM 17355ᵀ = BCRC 80278ᵀ) and L. futsaii subsp. chongqingii subsp.nov., with the type strain CQ16Z1ᵀ (= CCTCC AB2017187ᵀ = KCTC 21089ᵀ).

    Abstract Several randomized trials comparing self-gripping mesh with polypropylene (PL) mesh in Lichtenstein hernioplasty revealed that the self-gripping mesh significantly reduced the operation time. In these studies, some enrolled only male patients, and in others, the proportion of women was extremely low. The aim of this research was to compare outcomes after self-gripping mesh repair with PL mesh secured with sutures in female Lichtenstein hernioplasty. Female patients with primary unilateral inguinal hernia were assigned randomly to undergo Lichtenstein hernioplasty with a self-gripping ProGrip (PG) mesh or a sutured PL mesh, followed-up at one week, one month, three months, one year, and two years. Demographics, hernia characteristics, and operative outcomes data were analyzed. Pain was assessed with a visual analog scale (0-10), and quality of life (QOL) was estimated by a 36-item short-form general survey (0-26). Forty eight patients in the PG group and 51 participants in the PL group completed the follow-up. The operation time of the PG (54.1 ± 12 minutes) group was significantly shorter than that of the PL (60.9 ± 11.3 minutes) group (

    Abstract Plasmid DNA of Lactobacillus plantarum PC518 was isolated by an improved method which contained a washing step for removing lysozyme. Three plasmid DNA libraries were constructed. A pair of outward primers was designed at both ends of the novel plasmid fragment obtained from plasmid DNA libraries, and the remainder of the circle plasmid was amplified by inverse PCR (iPCR). The whole sequence of plasmid was analyzed by the basic local alignment search tool, Tandem Repeats Finder, DNAMAN V6.0, DNASTAR and MEGA X software. The copy number was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. Plasmid extract showed 7 bands on agarose gel, indicating that L. plantarum PC518 contains multiple plasmids. The complete sequence of plasmid pLP60 was obtained by plasmid DNA libraries and iPCR. pLP60 is 6006 bp in length with a G + C content of 41.19 %, which encodes 8 open reading frames (ORFs). The ori site like theta-type could be located upstream of repB, which contains a short tandem repeats (sTR) and a long tandem repeats (lTR). RepB of pLP60 only had low similarity with Rep protein of known theta-type plasmids, but phylogenetic tree analysis showed that plasmids whose Rep proteins are similar to pLP60 have lTR at ori, and the conservativeness of lTR is consistent with similarity of Rep proteins, suggesting that RepB of pLP60 is a theta-replicating protein. So pLP60 was classified as class A of theta replication. The copy number of pLP60 was measured as 5 copies per cell by qPCR.
