title: Supplementary Material for: The Impact of Obesity on T and NK Cells after LVAD Implantation

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Infections are a major problem after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation that affects morbidity, mortality, and the quality of life. Obesity often increases the risk for infection. In the cohort of LVAD patients, it is unknown if obesity affects the immunological parameters involved in viral defense. Therefore, this study investigated whether overweight or obesity affects immunological parameters such as CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Immune cell subsets of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and NK cells were compared between normal-weight (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, <i>n</i> = 17), pre-obese (BMI 25.0–29.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, <i>n</i> = 24), and obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, <i>n</i> = 27) patients. Cell subsets and cytokine serum levels were quantified prior to LVAD implantation and at 3, 6, and 12 months after LVAD implantation. <b><i>Results:</i></b> At the end of the first postoperative year, obese patients (31.8% ± 2.1%) had a lower proportion of CD8<sup><b>+</b></sup> T cells than normal-weight patients (42.4% ± 4.1%; <i>p</i> = 0.04), and the percentage of CD8<sup><b>+</b></sup> T cells was negatively correlated with BMI (<i>p</i> = 0.03; <i>r</i> = −0.329). The proportion of circulating NK cells increased after LVAD implantation patients in normal-weight (<i>p</i> = 0.01) and obese patients (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01). Patients with pre-obesity showed a delayed increase (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01) 12 months after LVAD implantation. Further, obese patients showed an increase in the percentage of CD57<sup>+</sup> NK cells after 6 and 12 months (<i>p</i> = 0.01) of treatment, higher proportions of CD56<sup>bright</sup> NK cells (<i>p</i> = 0.01), and lower proportions of CD56<sup>dim/neg</sup> NK cells (<i>p</i> = 0.03) 3 months after LVAD implantation than normal-weight patients. The proportion of CD56<sup>bright</sup> NK cells positively correlated with BMI (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.01, <i>r</i> = 0.403) 1 year after LVAD implantation. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This study documented that obesity affects CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and subsets of NK cells in patients with LVAD in the first year after LVAD implantation. Lower proportions of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and CD56<sup>dim/neg</sup> NK cells and higher proportion of CD56<sup>bright</sup> NK cells were detected in obese but not in pre-obese and normal-weight LVAD patients during the first year after LVAD implantation. The induced immunological imbalance and phenotypic changes of T and NK cells may influence viral and bacterial immunoreactivity.

title: Supplementary Material for: Effectiveness of water-assisted colonoscopy without sedation in patients with ulcerative colitis

description: Introduction Studies have found that water-assisted colonoscopy (WAC) including water immersion colonoscopy (WIC) and water exchange colonoscopy (WEC) is superior to air insufflation colonoscopy (AIC) in terms of the cecal intubation rate. However, the application of WAC in ulcerative colitis (UC) has rarely been reported. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of WAC without sedation in patients with UC. Methods 172 UC patients were randomly divided into the AIC group (n=56), WIC group (n=58) and WEC group (n=58). The cecal intubation rate, abdominal pain score, operator difficulty, bowel cleanliness, insertion and total time were compared. Results The cecal intubation rate was higher in the WIC (91.4% vs. 75.0%; mean difference=16.4%, 95%CI 3.0%-29.8%) and WEC (93.1% vs. 75.0%; mean difference=18.1%, 95%CI 5.0%-31.2%) compared to the AIC group, while there was no difference between the WIC and WEC groups. The abdominal pain score and operator difficulty were lower in the WIC and WEC groups than in the AIC group, while there was no difference between the WIC and WEC groups. The bowel cleanliness during withdrawal was higher in the WIC and WEC groups than in the AIC group, while the WEC was superior to WIC. Compared with the AIC and WIC groups, the insertion time and total time were longer in the WEC group, and there was no difference in the AIC group and WIC group. Conclusion In comparison with AIC, WAC can increase the cecal intubation rate, reduce abdominal pain scores and improve bowel cleanliness in patients with UC.

title: Supplementary Material for: Effect of Fluoride-Containing Toothpastes on Enamel Demineralization and Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Architecture

description: This study aimed to explore the effect of fluoridated toothpastes on biofilm architecture and enamel demineralization in an in vitro biofilm model. <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> was grown on enamel and treated with slurries of commercial toothpastes, containing SnF<sub>2</sub> or NaF. Water and chlorhexidine were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. The developed biofilms were imaged and enamel demineralization was measured. SnF<sub>2</sub> and NaF toothpaste treatments significantly reduced enamel demineralization, but SnF<sub>2</sub> toothpaste was more effective. Only SnF<sub>2</sub> toothpaste and chlorhexidine treatments caused reductions on biofilm mass and thickness. In conclusion, this biofilm model was able to differentiate the effects of the SnF<sub>2</sub> and NaF toothpastes on biofilm architecture and enamel demineralization.

title: Supplementary Material for: The Association between Baseline and 3-Month Albuminuria and 1-Year Prognosis of Ischemic Stroke

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The association between the changes in albuminuria levels and the clinical prognosis of stroke is unknown. The present study aimed to explore the relationships between changes in albuminuria and the risk of adverse stroke outcomes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack from the Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III) who had the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) detected at baseline and 3-month were recruited. They were classified into 4 groups according to baseline and 3-month ACR and followed up for 1 year. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 5,311 patients were finally included in the study. There were 3,738 (70.4%), 483 (9.1%), 451 (8.5%), and 639 (12.0%) patients with no albuminuria, baseline albuminuria, 3-month albuminuria, and persistent albuminuria, respectively. After adjustment for confounding variables, persistent albuminuria was independently associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR], 2.23; 95% CI, 1.17–4.25; <i>p</i> = 0.02), stroke recurrence (HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.02–2.36; <i>p</i> = 0.04), and poor functional outcome (OR, 2.22; 95% CI, 1.66–2.96; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Baseline albuminuria was independently associated with poor functional outcome (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.19–2.28; <i>p</i> = 0.003), while 3-month albuminuria was independently associated with stroke recurrence (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.06–2.65; <i>p</i> = 0.03). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Changes in albuminuria can predict adverse 1-year outcomes in Chinese ischemic stroke patients. In particular, persistent albuminuria was independently associated with 1-year all-cause death, stroke recurrence, and poor functional outcome.

title: A new baenid turtle, <i>Saxochelys gilberti</i>, gen. et sp. nov., from the uppermost cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Hell Creek Formation: sexual dimorphism and spatial niche partitioning within the most speciose group of Late Cretaceous turtles

description: The uppermost Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Hell Creek Formation in North America has yielded a diverse assemblage of fossil turtles dominated by baenids. A population of over 30 individual skeletons from the Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota comprises a new baenid turtle, <i>Saxochelys gilberti</i>, increasing the number of recognized Hell Creek turtles to at least 26, 11 of which are baenids. <i>Saxochelys gilberti</i> is differentiated from all other baenids based on the presence of a nuchal scale, finely sculptured shell, absence of an omega-shaped femoral-anal sulcus, presence of an omega-shaped extragular-humeral sulcus, a cavum tympani that is relatively smaller than the diameter of the orbit, presence of a robust single scale on the posteromedial portion of the parietals, and jugal exclusion from the orbital margin. Two distinct plastral morphologies, concave (N = 8) and flat (N = 9), are interpreted as representing male and female individuals, respectively. A ca. 10% size difference between the sexes indicates that <i>S. gilberti</i> is a sexually size-dimorphic turtle with larger females. This suggests female mate choice in this baenid turtle. A referred <i>S. gilberti</i> skeleton from above the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary provides evidence for the survival of yet another species of turtle across this extinction event. The type locality of <i>S. gilberti</i> is close both stratigraphically and geographically to another locality consisting of a completely different assortment of baenid species, suggesting a fine degree of spatial niche partitioning in baenid turtles that may help explain the extremely high diversity of the group within the Hell Creek Formation.

title: Dissolved oxygen and carbonate system in a southern nearshore marine aquaculture area in the North Yellow Sea in May, June, July, August and September 2017

description: Around the North Yellow Sea, Liaoning and Shandong Provinces in China are involved in fast-developing and highly populated marine aquacultural activities. For example, its southern nearshore waters are occupied by an important mariculture area in Shandong, where the water depth is only 10−21 m. Sea cucumbers <i>Apostichopus japonicus</i>, and scallops <i>Chlamys Farreri</i>, are cultured in this area where summertime hypoxia and pH decline have been observed in 2015 and 2016.<br>From May to September, five southern nearshore surveys (monthly from May to September) were carried out in the North Yellow Sea in 2017. During the nearshore surveys, discrete water samples were collected using a 5-L Niskin bottle at the surface (2 m below sea surface) and 2 m above the seafloor, while depth profiles of temperature and salinity (practical salinity scale of 1978) were determined using a calibrated RBR profiler (RBR Ltd., Canada). <br>Sampling surveys were supported by the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, via the Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (grant no. XDA11020702).<br>

title: Multiple linear regression model to evaluate the market value of residential apartments in Fortaleza, CE

description: Abstract The valuation of real estate, which assists in the definition of market value, is an important science with a wide field of action, which includes the collection of taxes, commercial transactions, insurance and judicial expertise. This study presents the construction of a linear regression model to determine the market value (dependent variable) of residential apartments in the city of Fortaleza-CE. The studied database presents 17,493 apartments, divided into 227 plan types in a total of 154 projects launched between the years of 2011 and 2014. The model developed was obtained using Multiple Linear Regression associated with the Ridge Regression technique to solve the existing multicollinearity problem. In the analysis of 30 variables (12 quantitative and 18 dummy type qualitative variables), an equation with 6 variables was reached, which meets the theoretical assumptions for its existence.

title: Supplementary Material for: Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Patients with Nonmetastatic BCLC Stage C Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with promising outcome. However, appropriate survival prediction models are scarce. This study aimed to develop a simple and clinically useful prognostic nomogram for patients with nondistant metastatic Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C HCC undergoing SBRT. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The data were based on a prospective multi-institutional registry enrolling 246 patients with nondistant metastatic BCLC stage C HCC treated with SBRT between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2016. They were randomly divided into two subsets: 164 into the development cohort and 82 into the validation cohort. We identified and included prognostic factors for survival to derive a nomogram in the development cohort. The predictability of the nomogram was evaluated in the validation cohort. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the calibration plot were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The median survival was 13.5 months, with 1- and 2-year overall survival (OS) rates of 55.0 and 32.9%, respectively. Number of tumors, largest tumor size, macrovascular invasion, Child-Turcotte-Pugh class, and biologically effective dose were significantly associated with OS (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). These predictors were included to develop a nomogram with an AUROC of 0.77 (0.73–0.87). The prediction model was well calibrated in the validation cohort. The OS for patients who were divided by their risk scores differed significantly (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The nomogram we generated had discriminatory and satisfactory predictability for OS among nonmetastatic BCLC stage C HCC patients treated with SBRT. It demands further validations with cross-country data to confirm its worldwide usefulness.
