Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) on the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy. Methods: A retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 168 patients with RRMM who underwent CAR-T therapy at the Department of Hematology, Xuzhou Medical University Hospital from 3 January 2020 to 13 September 2022 were analyzed. Patients were classified into a transplantation group (TG; n=47) and non-transplantation group (NTG; n=121) based on whether or not they had undergone ASCT previously. The objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and the levels of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD56 and natural killer (NK) cells before CAR-T infusion were analyzed by χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier method and independent sample t-test. Results: Among 168 patients with RRMM, 98 (58.3%) were male. The median age of onset was 57 (range 30-70) years. After CAR-T therapy, the ORR of patients was 89.3% (92/103) in the NTG and 72.9% (27/73) in the TG. The ORR of the NTG was better than that of the TG (χ2=5.71, P=0.017). After 1 year of CAR-T therapy, the ORR of the NTG was 78.1% (75/96), and that of the TG was 59.4% (19/32). The ORR of the NTG was better than that of the TG (χ2=4.32, P=0.038). The median OS and PFS in the NTG were significantly longer than those in the TG (OS, 30 vs. 20 months; PFS, 26 vs. 12 months; both P<0.05). The CD4 level before CAR-T infusion in the TG was significantly lower than that in the NTG (25.65±13.56 vs. 32.64±17.21; t=-2.15, P=0.034), and there were no significant differences in the counts of CD3, CD8, CD19, CD56, and NK cells between the TG and NTG (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Among patients suffering from RRMM who received CAR-T therapy, patients who did not receive ASCT had significantly better outcomes than those who had received ASCT previously, which may have been related to the CD4 level before receiving CAR-T therapy.

Outcome of stroke patients eligible to mechanical thrombectomy managed by spoke center, primary stroke center or comprehensive stroke center in the East of France. Rev Neurol (Paris) 2024; 180:517-523. [PMID: 38036405 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.08.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with suspected stroke are referred to the nearest hospital and are managed either in a spoke center (SC), a primary stroke center (PSC), or a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) in order to benefit from early intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). In case of large vessel occlusion (LVO), mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is only performed in the CSC, whereas the effectiveness of MT is highly time-dependent. There is a debate about the best management model of patients with suspected LVO. Therefore, we aimed to compare functional and safety outcomes of LVO patients eligible for MT managed through our regional telestroke system. METHOD We performed a retrospective analysis of our observational prospective clinical registry in all consecutive subjects with LVO within six hours of onset who were admitted to the SC, PSC, or CSC in the east of France between October 2017 and November 2022. The primary endpoint was the functional independence defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) score 0 to 2 at 90 days. Secondary endpoints were functional outcome, early neurological improvement, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and 90-day mortality. RESULTS Among the 794 included patients with LVO who underwent MT, 122 (15.4%) were managed by a SC, 403 (50.8%) were first admitted to a PSC, and 269 (33.9%) were first admitted to the CSC. The overall median NIHSS and ASPECTS score were 16 and 8, respectively. Multivariate analysis did not find any significant difference for the primary endpoint between patients managed by PSC versus CSC (OR 1.06 [95% CI 0.64;1.76], P=0.82) and between patient managed by SC versus CSC (OR 0.69 [0.34;1.40], P=0.30). No difference between the three groups was found except for the parenchymal hematoma rate between PSC and CSC (15.7 versus 7.4%, OR 2.25 [1.07;4.74], P=0.032). CONCLUSIONS Compared with a first admission to a CSC, the clinical outcomes of stroke patients with LVO eligible for MT first admitted to a SC or a PSC are similar.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the early clinical characteristics of elderly patients with severe burns and the risk factors on prognosis. Methods: This study was a retrospective case series study. Clinical data of 124 elderly patients with severe burns who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the 12 hospitals from January 2015 to December 2020 were collected, including 4 patients from the Fourth People's Hospital of Dalian, 5 patients from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, 22 patients from Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University, 5 patients from Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital, 27 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, 9 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, 10 patients from Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, 9 patients from Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital, 12 patients from the 924th Hospital of PLA, 6 patients from Zhangjiagang First People's Hospital, 4 patients from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and 11 patients from Zhengzhou First People's Hospital. The patients' overall clinical characteristics, such as gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, inhalation injury, causative factors, whether combined with underlying medical diseases, and admission time after injury were recorded. According to the survival outcome within 28 days after injury, the patients were divided into survival group (89 cases) and death group (35 cases). The following data of patients were compared between the two groups, including the basic data and injuries (the same as the overall clinical characteristics ahead); the coagulation indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time, D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), international normalized ratio (INR), and fibrinogen; the blood routine indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as white blood cell count, platelet count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit; the organ function indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, urea, serum creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total protein, albumin, globulin, blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, electrolyte indexes (potassium, sodium, chlorine, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in blood), uric acid, myoglobin, and brain natriuretic peptide; the infection and blood gas indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, pH value, oxygenation index, base excess, and lactate; treatment such as whether conducted with mechanical ventilation, whether conducted with continuous renal replacement therapy, whether conducted with anticoagulation therapy, whether applied with vasoactive drugs, and fluid resuscitation. The analysis was conducted to screen the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns. Results: Among 124 patients, there were 82 males and 42 females, aged 60-97 years, with body mass index of 23.44 (21.09, 25.95) kg/m2, total burn area of 54.00% (42.00%, 75.00%) total body surface area (TBSA), and full-thickness burn area of 25.00% (10.00%, 40.00%) TBSA. The patients were mainly combined with moderate to severe inhalation injury and caused by flame burns. There were 43 cases with underlying medical diseases. The majority of patients were admitted to the hospital within 8 hours after injury. There were statistically significant differences between patients in the 2 groups in terms of age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and inhalation injury, and PT, APTT, D-dimer, FDP, INR, white blood cell count, platelet count, urea, serum creatinine, blood glucose, blood sodium, uric acid, myoglobin, and urine volume within the first 24 hours of injury (with Z values of 2.37, 5.49, 5.26, 5.97, 2.18, 1.95, 2.68, 2.68, 2.51, 2.82, 2.14, 3.40, 5.31, 3.41, 2.35, 3.81, 2.16, and -3.82, respectively, P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences between two groups of patients in whether conducted with mechanical ventilation and whether applied with vasoactive drugs (with χ2 values of 9.44 and 28.50, respectively, P<0.05). Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, serum creatinine within the first 24 hours of injury, and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury were the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns (with odds ratios of 1.17, 1.10, 1.10, 1.09, and 1.27, 95% confidence intervals of 1.03-1.40, 1.04-1.21, 1.05-1.19, 1.05-1.17, and 1.07-1.69, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: The elderly patients with severe burns had the injuries mainly from flame burns, often accompanied by moderate to severe inhalation injury and enhanced inflammatory response, elevated blood glucose levels, activated fibrinolysis, and impaired organ function in the early stage, which are associated with their prognosis. Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and serum creatinine and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury are the independent risk factors for death within 28 days after injury in this population.

Abstract
Mucormycosis is a relatively rare but dangerous infectious diseases. Burn patients, especially severe burn patients, are at high risk of mucormycosis. In recent years, the incidence of mucormycosis in burn patients has increased. At present, there are a few domestic literatures on mucormycosis in burns, with most being case reports without systematic summary. Based on the relevant literature at home and abroad in recent years, this article reviewed the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment methods of mucormycosis in burns, hoping to provide some basis for the diagnosis and treatment of mucormycosis in burns in China.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the characteristics of the evolution of liver indexes in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) treated with CAR-T-cells based on BCMA. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed of patients with RRMM who received an infusion of anti-BCMA CAR-T-cells and anti-BCMA combined with anti-CD19 CAR-T-cells at our center between June 1, 2019, and February 28, 2023. Clinical data were collected to observe the characteristics of changes in liver indexes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), and direct bilirubin (DBIL) in patients, and its relationship with cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) . Results: Ninety-two patients were included in the analysis, including 41 patients (44.6%) in the group receiving a single infusion of anti-BCMA CAR-T-cells, and 51 patients (55.4%) in the group receiving an infusion of anti-BCMA combined with anti-CD19 CAR-T-cells. After infusing CAR-T-cells, 31 patients (33.7%) experienced changes in liver indexes at or above grade 2, which included 20 patients (21.7%) with changes in one index, five patients (5.4%) with changes in two indexes, and six patients (6.5%) with changes in three or more indexes. The median time of peak values of ALT and AST were d17 and d14, respectively, and the median duration of exceeding grade 2 was 5.0 and 3.5 days, respectively. The median time of peak values of TBIL and DBIL was on d19 and d21, respectively, and the median duration of exceeding grade 2 was 4.0 days, respectively. The median time of onset of CRS was d8, and the peak time of fever was d9. The ALT, AST, and TBIL of patients with CRS were higher than those of patients without CRS (P=0.011, 0.002, and 0.015, respectively). CRS is an independent factor that affects ALT and TBIL levels (OR=19.668, 95% CI 18.959-20.173, P=0.001). The evolution of liver indexes can be reversed through anti-CRS and liver-protection treatments, and no patient died of liver injury. Conclusions: In BCMA-based CAR-T-cell therapy for RRMM, CRS is an important factor causing the evolution of liver indexes. The evolution of liver indexes after CAR-T-cell infusion is transient and reversible after treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) has been shown to increase the prevalence of obesity and its related insulin resistance (IR). Ceramide is a sphingolipid known to facilitate the production of proinflammatory cytokines and subsequently exacerbate inflammation and IR during the progression of obesity. Here, we investigated the effects of BPA exposure on ceramide de novo synthesis and whether increased ceramides aggravate adipose tissue (AT) inflammation and obesity-related IR. METHODS A population-based case-control study was conducted to explore the relationship between BPA exposure and IR and the potential role of ceramide in AT in obesity. Next, we used mice reared on a normal chow diet (NCD) or a high-fat diet (HFD) to verify the results from the population study and then investigated the role of ceramides in low-level BPA exposure with HFD-induced IR and AT inflammation in mice treated with or without myriocin (an inhibitor of the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo ceramide synthesis). RESULTS BPA levels are higher in obese individuals and are significantly associated with AT inflammation and IR. Specific subtypes of ceramides mediated the associations between BPA and obesity, obesity-related IR and AT inflammation in the obesity group. In animal experiments, BPA exposure facilitated ceramide accumulation in AT, activated PKCζ, promoted AT inflammation, increased the expression and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines via the JNK/NF-κB pathway, and lowered insulin sensitivity by disrupting IRS1-PI3K-AKT signaling in mice fed a HFD. Myriocin suppressed BPA-induced AT inflammation and IR. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that BPA aggravates obesity-induced IR, which is partly via increased de novo synthesis of ceramides and subsequent promotion of AT inflammation. Ceramide synthesis could be a potential target for the prevention of environmental BPA exposure-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects and mechanism of annexin A1 (ANXA1)-overexpressing human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) in the treatment of mice with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: The experimental study method was adopted. After the adult AMSCs were identified by flow cytometry, the 3rd passage cells were selected for the follow-up experiments. According to the random number table (the same grouping method below), the cells were divided into ANXA1-overexpressing group transfected with plasmid containing RNA sequences of ANXA1 gene and no-load control group transfected with the corresponding no-load plasmid. The other cells were divided into ANXA1-knockdown group transfected with plasmid containing small interfering RNA sequences of ANXA1 gene and no-load control group transfected with the corresponding no-load plasmid. At post transfection hour (PTH) 72, the fluorescence expression was observed under a fluorescence microscope imaging system, and the protein and mRNA expressions of ANXA1 were detected by Western blotting and real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction respectively (with the sample numbers being 3). Fifty male C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks were divided into sham injury group, ARDS alone group, normal cell group, ANXA1-overexpressing group, and ANXA1-knockdown group, with 10 mice in each group. Mice in the last 4 groups were treated with endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide to make ARDS lung injury model, and mice in sham injury group were simulated to cause false injury. Immediately after injury, mice in sham injury group and ARDS alone group were injected with normal saline through the tail vein, while mice in normal cell group, ANXA1-overexpressing group, and ANXA1-knockdown group were injected with normal AMSCs, ANXA1-overexpressing AMSCs, and ANXA1-knockdown AMSCs, correspondingly. At post injection hour (PIH) 24, 5 mice in each group were selected, the Evans blue staining was performed to observe the gross staining of the right lung tissue, and the absorbance value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) supernatant of left lung was detected by microplate reader to evaluate the pulmonary vascular permeability. Three days after injection, the remaining 5 mice in each group were taken, the right lung tissue was collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe the pathological changes and immunohistochemical staining to observe the CD11b and F4/80 positive macrophages, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-1β in BALF supernatant of left lung were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, and least significant difference test. Results: At PTH 72, AMSCs in both ANXA1-overexpressing group and ANXA1-knockdown group expressed higher fluorescence intensity than AMSCs in corresponding no-load control group, respectively. At PTH 72, compared with those in corresponding no-load control group, the protein and mRNA expressions of ANXA1 in ANXA1-overexpressing group were significantly increased (wth t values of 249.80 and 6.56, respectively, P<0.05), while the protein and mRNA expressions of ANXA1 in ANXA1-knockdown group were significantly decreased (wth t values of 176.50 and 18.18, respectively, P<0.05). At PIH 24, compared with those in sham injury group (with the absorbance value of BALF supernatant being 0.041±0.009), the lung tissue of mice in ARDS alone group was obviously blue-stained and the absorbance value of BALF supernatant (0.126±0.022) was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with those in ARDS alone group, the degree of blue-staining in lung tissue of mice was significantly reduced in normal cell group or ANXA1-overexpressing group, and the absorbance values of BALF supernatant (0.095±0.020 and 0.069±0.015) were significantly decreased (P<0.05), but the degree of blue-staining in lung tissue and the absorbance value of BALF supernatant (0.109±0.016, P>0.05) of mice in ANXA1-knockdown group had no significant change. Compared with that in normal cell group, the absorbance value of BALF supernatant of mice in ANXA1-overexpressing group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Three days after injection, the lung tissue structure of mice in ARDS alone group was significantly damaged compared with that in sham injury group. Compared with those in ARDS alone group, hemorrhage, infiltration of inflammatory cells, alveolar collapse, and interstitial widening in the lung tissue of mice were significantly alleviated in normal cell group and ANXA1-overexpressing group, while no significant improvement of above-mentioned lung tissue manifestation was observed in ANXA1-knockdown group. Three days after injection, the numbers of CD11b and F4/80 positive macrophages in the lung tissue of mice in ARDS alone group were significantly increased compared with those in sham injury group. Compared with those in ARDS alone group, the numbers of CD11b and F4/80 positive macrophages in lung tissue of mice in normal cell group, ANXA1-overexpressing group, and ANXA1-knockdown group reduced, with the most significant reduction in ANXA1-overexpressing group. Three days after injection, compared with those in sham injury group, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in BALF supernatant of mice in ARDS alone group were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with those in ARDS alone group, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in BALF supernatant of mice in normal cell group and ANXA1-overexpressing group, as well as the level of IL-1β in BALF supernatant of mice in ANXA1-knockdown group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with that in normal cell group, the level of TNF-α in BALF supernatant of mice was significantly decreased in ANXA1-overexpressing group (P<0.05) but significantly increased in ANXA1-knockdown group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Overexpression of ANXA1 can optimize the efficacy of AMSCs in treating ARDS and enhance the effects of these cells in inhibiting inflammatory response and improving pulmonary vascular permeability, thereby alleviating lung injury of mice with ARDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of natural killer/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) with multifocal small intestine involvement complicated by intestinal perforation is extremely poor. There is no evidence-based treatment strategy for this intractable condition. CASE PRESENTATION A 30-year-old male was admitted to our hospital in April 2017 and presented with recurrent fever for three months and multiple painless subcutaneous nodules in the abdominal wall. An excision biopsy of the subcutaneous nodules in the abdominal wall revealed NKTCL. The patient was diagnosed with stage IVB NKTCL with skin and multifocal small intestinal involvement according to the imaging results. The first intestinal perforation occurred due to tumor infiltration before the initial treatment. The second intestinal perforation occurred after receiving two cycles of chemotherapy with a modified SMILE regimen. The histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) chidamide was administered as a single-agent therapy after recovery from the second intestinal perforation. Complete remission was achieved. Unfortunately, five months later, the patient was confirmed to have relapsed and received the salvage chemotherapy. The patient suffered from disease progression again after the fourth cycle of chemotherapy. At this point, from May 29, 2018, the patient started to receive injections of the anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) antibody camrelizumab as a salvage treatment. Two months after the initial anti-PD-1 antibody camrelizumab injection, the response was partial remission. Disease progression was confirmed in March 2021, with a progression-free survival time of 34 months. CONCLUSIONS NKTCL patients with multifocal small intestine involvement have a high risk of intestinal perforation. The possible etiologies of bowel perforation include tumor infiltration, tumor necrosis in response to therapy, and acute inflammation. The anti-PD-1 antibody camrelizumab may be a new candidate agent for treating this type of intractable NKTCL. Further observations are necessary to identify the efficacy and safety of new agents in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing number of transradial approach (TRA) for carotid artery stenting (CAS), however, similar techniques and materials as for femoral access are used. We report the results of TRA lower profile technique for CAS using a 7 F Simmons guiding catheter, especially in terms of feasibility and procedural safety in a single center. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 68 consecutive patients with symptomatic extracranial carotid stenoses who underwent 75 CAS between January 2018 and December 2021. The success and crossover rate, procedural time, fluoroscopy, clinical outcomes, technical considerations, and procedural complications were analyzed. RESULTS TRA CAS with Simmons guiding catheter was successful in 67/75 (89.3%) cases, with a 7 (9.3%) crossover rate. Fluoroscopy mean time was 15.8 minutes. Two forearm hematomas were described. No ischemic or surgical site complications were reported. CONCLUSIONS In our experience frontline TRA with a 7 F Simmons guiding catheter is feasible with high procedural success and a low rate of access site complications.

Abstract
Objective: To conduct a visual analysis of the literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction and to explore the current research status, evolution process, hot topics, and future research trends in burn-related coagulation dysfunction at home and abroad. Methods: The bibliometrics method was used. The literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction which were published in Web of Science and China National Knowledge Internet databases from January 1, 1950 to May 1, 2022, and met the inclusion criteria were retrieved for publication volume analysis. The literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction were retrieved as above in the core collection of Web of Science and China National Knowledge Internet databases, and CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used to perform co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, and literature co-citation analysis of key words. Results: A total of 501 and 235 literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction were retrieved from Web of Science database and China National Knowledge Internet database, respectively. The literature on burn-related coagulation dysfunction emerged from 1975 and 1950, respectively, in China and abroad, which were gradually increased later. The frequency and centrality of Chinese key words such as , , were high in 235 literature in China National Knowledge Internet database, and the frequency and centrality of key words such as burn, coagulation, and deep vein thrombosis were high in 340 literature in the core collection of Web of Science database. In China National Knowledge Internet database, the top 6 Chinese key words in terms of burst intensity were , , , , , , and the first 3 among which were burst key words in the early stage; and in the core collection of Web of Science database, the key words with higher burst intensity were disseminated intravascular coagulation and pulmonary embolism, which were the burst key words in the early stage. The representative clustering labels in China National Knowledge Internet database were #0 , #1 , and #2 , etc., and the representative clustering labels in the core collection of Web of Science database were #0 risk, #1 surgical patient, and #2 sepsis. Early researches in China National Knowledge Internet database and the core collection of Web of Science database focused on the presence of burn-related coagulation dysfunction itself, while the late researches focused on the relationship between burn-related coagulation dysfunction and inflammation, immunity, coagulation in general, and wounds. From 2010 onwards, there were a large number of core cited literature in the core collection of Web of Science database, and the prevention and treatment of vein thromboembolism was the most popular research direction in recent years. The researches on optimization and standardization of diagnostic methods and the overall mechanism of burn-related coagulation dysfunction would be the main research directions in the future. Conclusions: The research hotspots and evolution processes of burn-related coagulation dysfunction at home and abroad have both similarities and differences, and the current research hotspot is the relationship between coagulation and inflammation, immunity. With researches increasingly deepening, the researches on optimization and standardization of diagnostic methods and the overall mechanism of burn-related coagulation dysfunction will be the main research directions in the future.

Abstract
Immune activation is one of the major factors of secondary injury post burn, and is the main organismal response in the anti-infection process. As an important part of the innate immune response, the complement system is able to induce the activation of immune cells after burns, promote inflammation and mediate the breakdown of the immune barrier, and even engage in complex cross-linking with the coagulation cascade. This article reviews the role of complement system activation in post-burn immunity and its possibility of clinical translation from the perspectives of innate immunity, acquired immunity, and cross-linking of the complement system with the coagulation cascade.

Abstract
To explore the relationship between the early or delayed age at natural menopause and metabolic syndrome (MS) in women. A total of 4 734 natural menopausal women who completed the baseline survey from November 2017 to January 2020 in the Guangzhou Middle-aged and Elderly Chronic Disease Prospective Cohort Study were selected in this cross-sectional study. Data on general demographic characteristics, disease history and female physiological health indicators were collected. Logistic regression model and restricted cubic spline curve were used to analyze the relationship between the age at natural menopause and MS. The results showed that the mean age of the subjects was (60±6) years old. The median (Q1,Q3) age at natural menopause was 50 (49, 52) years old, and the prevalence of MS was 14.8%(699/4 734). After adjusting for confounders, the age at natural menopause was closely related to MS in an approximate"U"shape. Compared with the group of normal age at natural menopause, the early age at menopause (OR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.12-2.06) and delayed age at menopause (OR=1.77, 95%CI: 1.36-2.30) had a higher risk of MS. In the group with time since menopause ≤6 years and 7-9 years, the risk of MS in the group with delayed age at menopause was 2.40 times (95%CI: 1.54-3.75) and 2.19 times (95%CI: 1.11-4.31) higher than that in the group with normal menopausal age, respectively. In conclusion, the early and delayed age at natural menopause increased the risk of MS. The increased risk of MS in delayed age at natural menopause mainly occurred within 10 years since menopause.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the significance of serum CCL28 in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) diagnosis and evaluation. METHOD The expression of CCL28 mRNA in salivary glands of SS patients from the GEO database was analysed. Serum levels of CCL28 of SS patients, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, and healthy controls (HCs) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The serum immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels and the focus score of labial salivary gland (LSG) in patients with SS were also measured, and the correlation between serum IgA levels and serum CCL28 was explored. In addition, the level of serum CCL28 was compared between two subsets of SS patients who were classified by clinical symptoms and laboratory tests. RESULTS SS patients displayed decreased expression of CCL28 mRNA in salivary glands, accompanying more severe pathological injury. Serum levels of CCL28 in both primary and secondary SS patients were significantly lower than those in the HC group, whereas no significant differences were observed between RA patients or SLE patients and HCs. Compared with RA and SLE patients alone, serum levels of CCL28 were dramatically lower in patients with SS secondary to RA or SLE. No remarkable correlation between serum IgA and CCL28 levels was observed, while the focus score of LSG negatively correlated with serum CCL28 levels. Serum levels of CCL28 were lower in SS patients who had dental caries and thrombocytopenia. CONCLUSION Serum CCL28 is a useful biomarker in the diagnosis and evaluation of SS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor, has been extensively demonstrated to be associated with metabolic disorders, including obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the underlying mechanism underpinning the environmental etiology of chronic metabolic disorders has not been sufficiently elucidated. OBJECTIVES This study is designed to explore the toxicological pathogenesis of chronic inflammation in BPA exposure during obesity. METHODS We investigated the role of IL-17A in the association of BPA exposure and obesity from human cross-sectional study to animal models, including genetically modified IL-17A-/- mice. RESULTS Here, our work started from case-control observation that BPA exposure was significantly associated with risk of obesity (odds ratio = 4.72, 95%CI: 3.18 - 11.18, P < 0.01), metabolic disorder and levels of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in human adipose (estimated changes β = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.15 - 1.01, P < 0.01) with bariatric surgery. Animal model fed with high-fat diet (HFD) confirmed that BPA exposure aggravated body weight gain and insulin resistance, concurrent with much heightened inflammatory responses in the adipose tissue including increase in IL-17A and macrophage polarization towards M1 stage. Genetically modified IL-17A ablated mice (IL-17A-/-) showed reversed adipose tissue inflammation response, improved macrophage polarization homeostasis, along with insulin sensitivity in both HFD group alone or much more significantly the HFD + BPA group. Moreover, mediation analysis in human epidemiological investigation demonstrated that plasma IL-17A attributed up to 30.01% mediating role in the associations between BPA exposure and obesity risk. DISCUSSION This research paradigm from human to animal provides strong evidence for the elucidation of IL-17A moderating inflammation and insulin resistance in obesity. Such findings reiterate the obesogenic role of environmental endocrine disruptor BPA in metabolic disorders and unveils the potential toxicological mechanisms underpinning such effect.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Amyloid-β is a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and its pathology has been hypothesized as a multiple organ syndrome that may also affect cardiac function. There are limited data on association of plasma amyloid-β with cardiac dysfunction and risk of HF in the general population.
Objective
To determine the association of plasma amyloid-β40 (Aβ40) and amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) with echocardiographic measurements of cardiac dysfunction, and with incident heart failure (HF) in the general population.
Methods
We included 4156 participants of the population-based cohort (mean age 71.4 years, 57.1% women), who had plasma amyloid-β measured between 2002 and 2005, and were free of dementia and HF at baseline. Multivariable linear regression models were used to explore the associations of plasma Aβ40 and Aβ42 with echocardiographic measures. Participants were followed for the occurrence of HF until December 2016. Cause-specific hazard models were used to assess the association of plasma amyloid-β with incident HF and competing risk event. Models were adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors.
Results
Higher plasma Aβ40 concentrations were associated with lower left ventricular ejection fraction (β, −0.39; 95% CI, −0.68 to −0.10) and larger left ventricular mass (β, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.06 to 1.34). Aβ42 was not significantly associated with echocardiographic measures cross-sectionally. During follow-up (median 10.2 years), 472 incident HF cases were identified. Higher plasma Aβ40 was associated with an increased risk of incident HF (HR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.51), more profound in men than in women (P value for interaction: 0.022). One SD increase in Aβ40 was associated with a 31% increase in the hazard of HF in men (HR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.54) but the association was not significant in women (HR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.93 to 1.20). Higher plasma Aβ42 concentrations were associated with increased risk of HF (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.24), while further adjustment for concomitant Aβ40 attenuated this association (HR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.16).
Conclusion
Higher levels of plasma Aβ40 were independently associated with worse cardiac function and higher risk of new-onset HF in the general population, in particular among men.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Emerging evidence suggests that aortic valve calcium (AVC) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, while the association of (early) AVC with subclinical cardiac dysfunction and with risk of heart failure (HF) remains unclear.
Purpose
To determine the association of CT-assessed AVC with echocardiographic measurements of cardiac dysfunction, and with HF in the general population.
Methods
We included 2,348 participants (mean age 68.5 years, 52% women) of the Rotterdam Study, who had AVC measured between 2003 and 2006, and without a history of HF at baseline. Linear regression models were used to explore cross-sectional associations of AVC with echocardiographic measures at baseline. All participants were followed for HF event until December 2016. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association of AVC with incident HF. Models were adjusted for potential confounders.
Results
The presence of AVC was associated with 3.14 g/m2 (95% CI, 1.50 to 4.79) higher mean left ventricular mass indexed by body surface area. One-unit larger log (AVC+1) was associated with 0.01 mm (95% CI 0.01 to 0.02) larger mean left atrial size. During a median follow-up of 9.8 years, 182 incident HF cases were identified. Presence of AVC was associated with 37% greater risk for HF (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.87). One-unit larger log (AVC+1) was associated with 11% larger risk of HF (HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.18). Compared with the AVC =0, AVC ≥100 had 1.70 folded risk of HF (HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.17 to 2.49).
Conclusions
The levels of AVC were associated with markers of left ventricular structure and with risk of HF, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Larger CT-assessed AVC is an indicative of increased risk for development of HF.

Abstract
PURPOSE The natural evolution of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) is indeed difficult to predict at the individual level. OBJECTIVE In a large prospective multicentric European cohort, we aimed to evaluate whether the PHASES, UCAS, and ELPASS scores in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage would have predicted a high risk of aneurysmal rupture or growth. METHODS Academic centers treating patients with intracranial aneurysms were invited to prospectively collect de-identified data from all patients admitted at their institution for a subarachnoid hemorrhage-related to intracranial aneurysmal rupture between January 1 and March 31, 2021 through a trainee-led research collaborative network. Each responding center was provided with an electronic case record form (CRF) which collected all the elements of the PHASES, ELAPSS, and UCAS scores. RESULTS A total of 319 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage were included at 17 centers during a 3-month period. One hundred eighty-three aneurysms (57%) were less than 7 mm. The majority of aneurysms were located on the anterior communicating artery (n = 131, 41%). One hundred eighty-four patients (57%), 103 patients (32%), and 58 (18%) were classified as having a low risk of rupture or growth, according to the PHASES, UCAS, and ELAPSS scores, respectively. CONCLUSION In a prospective study of European patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, we showed that 3 common risk-assessment tools designed for patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms would have not identified most patients to be at high or intermediate risk for rupture, questioning their use for decision-making in the setting of unruptured aneurysms.
