The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines—with a focus on China—will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. Some uniform estimates with respect to time for the coupling terms between the fluid and the magnetic field will be presented, under the condition that the initial M1,1 norms of the vorticity and the current density are both sufficiently small. By the above estimates, we can obtain a global-in-time wellposedness of mild solutions in Morrey spaces via some effective arguments. The asymptotic behaviours of the solutions are also obtained.

One of the major issues in tissue engineering is regulation of stem cell differentiation toward specific lineages. Unlike biological and chemical signals, physical signals with adjustable properties can be applied to stem cells in a timely and localized manner, thus making them a hot topic for research in the fields of biomaterials, tissue engineering, and cell biology. According to the signals sensed by cells, physical signals used for regulating stem cell fate can be classified into six categories: mechanical, light, thermal, electrical, acoustic, and magnetic. In most cases, external macroscopic physical fields cannot be used to modulate stem cell fate, as only the localized physical signals accepted by the surface receptors can regulate stem cell differentiation via nanoscale fibrin polysaccharide fibers. However, surface receptors related to certain kinds of physical signals are still unknown. Recently, significant progress has been made in the development of functional materials for energy conversion. Consequently, localized physical fields can be produced by absorbing energy from an external physical field and subsequently releasing another type of localized energy through functional nanostructures. Based on the above concepts, we propose a methodology that can be utilized for stem cell engineering and for the regulation of stem cell fate via nanostructure-mediated physical signals. In this review, the combined effect of various approaches and mechanisms of physical signals provides a perspective on stem cell fate promotion by nanostructure-mediated physical signals. We expect that this review will aid the development of remote-controlled and wireless platforms to physically guide stem cell differentiation both in vitro and in vivo, using optimized stimulation parameters and mechanistic investigations while driving the progress of research in the fields of materials science, cell biology, and clinical research.

In this paper, we introduce and investigate Sobolev regularity properties of the local bilinear maximal operator and its fractional variant. Some new bounds for the derivatives of the above maximal functions are established. These estimates can be used to obtain boundedness and continuity for these operators in Sobolev spaces as well as the bounds of these operators on the Sobolev spaces with zero boundary values.

Stratigraphic sections in the Bogda Mountains, NW China, provide detailed records of late Permian-Early Triassic terrestrial paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic evolution at the paleo-mid-latitude of NE Pangea. The sections are located in the Tarlong-Taodonggou, Dalongkou, and Zhaobishan areas,-100 km apart, and-5000 m in total thickness. An age model was constructed using seven high-resolution U-Pb zircon CA-TIMS dates in the Tarlong-Taodonggou sections and projected to sections in two other areas to convert the litho-and cyclo-stratigraphy into a chronostratigraphy. Sediments were deposited in braided and meandering streams, and lacustrine deltaic and lakeplain-littoral environments. A cyclostratigraphy was established on the basis of repetitive environmental changes for high-order cycles, stacking patterns of high-order cycles, and long-term climatic and tectonic trends for low-order cycles (LC). Sedimentary evidence from the upper Wuchiapingian-mid Induan Wutonggou LC indicates that the climate was generally humid-subhumid and gradually became variable toward a seasonally dry condition in the early Induan. Lush vegetation had persisted across the Permo-Triassic boundary into the early Induan. A subhumid-semiarid condition prevailed during the deposition of mid Induan-lower Olenekian Jiu-caiyuan and lower Olenekian Shaofanggou LCs. These three LCs are largely continuous and separated by con-formities and diastems. Intra-and inter-graben stratigraphic variability is reflected by variations in thickness, depositional system, and average sedimentation rate, and results in variable spatial and temporal stratigraphic resolution. Such stratigraphic variability is mainly controlled by paleogeographic location, depocenter shift, and episodic uplift and subsidence in the source areas and catchment basin. A changeover of plant communities occurred during the early Induan, postdating the end-Permian marine mass extinction. However, riparian vegetation and upland forests were still present from the mid Induan to early Olenekian, and served as primary food source for terrestrial ecosystems, including vertebrates. Correlation of the vascular plant evolutionary history from the latest Changhsingian to early Induan in the Bogda Mountains with those reported from Australia and south China indicates a diachronous floral changeover on Pangea. The late Permian-Early Triassic litho-, cyclo-and chrono-stratigraphies, constrained by the age model, provides a foundation for future studies on the evolution of continental sedimentary, climatic, biologic, and ecological systems in the Bogda region. It also provides a means to correlate terrestrial events in the mid-paleolatitudes with marine and nonmarine records in the other parts of the world.

Direct numerical simulations are used to study the three-dimensional, incompressible and viscous flow dynamics of a base solid-body rotation flow with a uniform axial velocity entering a rotating, finite-length, straight circular pipe. Steady in time profiles of the axial, radial and circumferential velocities are prescribed along the pipe inlet. The convective boundary conditions for each velocity flux component is set at the pipe outlet. The simulation results describe the neutral stability line in response to either axisymmetric or three-dimensional perturbations in a diagram of Reynolds number (Re, based on inlet axial velocity and pipe radius) versus the incoming flow swirl ratio (omega). This line is in good agreement with the neutral stability line recently predicted by the linear stability theory of Wang el al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 797, 2016, pp. 284-321). The computed time history of the velocity components at a certain point in the flow is used to describe three-dimensional phase portraits of the flow global dynamics and its long-term behaviour. They show three types of flow evolution scenarios. First, the Wang & Rusak (Phys. Fluids, vol. 8 (4), 1996, pp. 1007-1016) axisymmetric instability mechanism and evolution to a stable axisymmetric breakdown state is recovered at certain operational conditions in terms of Re and co. However, at other operational conditions with same co but with a higher Re, a second scenario is found. The axisymmetric breakdown state continues to evolve and a spiral instability mode appears on it and grows to a rotating spiral breakdown state. Moreover, at higher levels of co a third scenario is found where there exists a dominant three-dimensional spiral type of instability mode that agrees with the linear stability theory of Wang et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 797, 2016, pp. 284-321). The growth of this mode leads directly to a spiral type of flow roll-up and nonlinearly saturates on a rotating spiral type of vortex breakdown. The Reynolds-Orr equation is used to reveal the mechanism that drives all the instabilities as well as the nonlinear global flow evolution. At high swirl ratios, the confined kinetic energy in the swirling flow can be triggered to be released through various physical agents, such as the asymmetric inlet-outlet conditions, that eliminate axial homogeneity along the pipe and induce flow instabilities and evolution to breakdown states. It is also shown that local instability analysis or its extension using the assumption of a weakly non-parallel flow to conduct convective instability-absolute instability analyses is definitely not related to any of the instability modes found in the present study. Moreover, a stability study based on the strongly non-parallel flow character, including axial inhomogeneity due to a finite-domain boundary conditions, must be conducted to reveal instabilities in such flows.

Crucial inputs for a variety of CP-violation studies can be determined through the analysis of pairs of quantum-entangled neutral D mesons, which are produced in the decay of the psi(3770) resonance. The relative strong-phase parameters between D-0 and (D) over bar (0) in the decays D-0 -> K-S,L(0)pi(+)pi(-) are studied using 2.93 fb(-1) of e(+)e(-) annihilation data delivered by the BEPCII collider and collected by the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV. Results are presented in regions of the phase space of the decay. These are the most precise measurements to date of the strong-phase parameters in D-0 -> K-S,L(0)pi(+)pi(-) decays. Using these parameters, the associated uncertainty on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa angle gamma/phi(3) is expected to be between 0.7 degrees and 1.2 degrees for an analysis using the decay B-+/- -> DK +/-, D -> K-S(0)pi(+)pi(-), where D represents a superposition of D-0 and (D) over bar (0) states. This is a factor of 3 smaller than that achievable with previous measurements. Furthermore, these results provide valuable input for charm-mixing studies, other measurements of CP violation, and the measurement of strong-phase parameters for other D-decay modes.

The three-dimensional, inviscid and viscous flow instability modes that appear on a solid-body rotation flow in a finite-length straight, circular pipe are analysed. This study is a direct extension of the Wang &. Rusak (Phys. Fluids, vol. 8 (4), 1996a. pp. 1007-1016) analysis of axisymmetric instabilities on inviscid swirling flows in a pipe. The linear stability equations are the same as those derived by Kelvin (Phil. Mag., vol. 10, 1880, pp. 155-168). However, we study a general mode of perturbation that satisfies the inlet, outlet and wall conditions of a flow in a finite-length pipe with a fixed in time and in space vortex generator ahead of it. This mode is different from the classical normal mode of perturbations. The eigenvalue problem for the growth rate and the shape of the perturbations for any azimuthal wavenumber consists of a linear system of partial differential equations in terms of the axial and radial coordinates (x, r). The stability problem is solved numerically for all azimuthal wavenumbers in. The computed growth rates and the related shapes of the various perturbation modes that appear in sequence as a function of the base flow swirl ratio (omega) and pipe length (L) are presented. In the inviscid flow case, the m = 1 modes are the first to become unstable as the swirl ratio is increased and dominate the perturbation's growth in a certain range of swirl levels. The m = 1 instability modes compete with the axisymmetric (m = 0) instability modes as the swirl ratio is further increased. In the viscous flow case, the viscous damping effects reduce the modes' growth rates. The neutral stability line is presented in a Reynolds number (Re) versus swirl ratio (w) diagram and can he used to predict the first appearance of axisymmetric or spiral instabilities as a function of Re and L. We use the Reynolds-Orr equation to analyse the various production terms of the perturbation's kinetic energy and establish the elimination of the flow axial homogeneity at high swirl levels as the underlying physical mechanism that leads to flow exchange of stability and to the appearance of both spiral and axisymmetric instabilities. The viscous effects in the bulk have only a passive influence on the modes' shapes and growth rates. These effects decrease with the increase of Re.
