Abstract
PURPOSE Preoperative digital planning of total hip arthroplasty (THA) anticipates difficulties while increasing implant survival. The objective was to establish the learning curve to produce a reliable and reproducible preoperative planning for THA. We hypothesize that a learning curve exists for planning, and we want to determine the number of procedures required to accomplish it. METHODS This prospective study included patients for THA from 02/11/2019 to 01/11/2022. Ten junior (Juniors) and senior surgeons (Seniors) had received dedicated training in the use of the software. Modeling was done blindly by Juniors and Senior before surgery on a standardized front pelvis X-ray (mediCAD 2D Classic Hospital software). Statistical analyses to establish the learning curve were done to compare the Juniors and Seniors. RESULTS 60% of the Juniors achieved competence after 31.5 ± 12.9 [14-54] planning sessions for the acetabular implant, and 80% after 30.3 ± 8.3 [17-40] planning sessions for the femoral implant. Femoral neck size was achieved by all ten Juniors after 23.1 ± 6.8 [17-38] planning. The offset was correctly restored on the plan by 30% of the Juniors after 33.5 ± 11.6 [18-46] planning. CONCLUSION There is a learning curve for 2D planning of uncemented THA. The different planning items seem to have different learning curves. Compared to Seniors, the completion of 75 planning sessions is not sufficient in totality. The competence of the Juniors for the acetabular implant, the length of the neck and the size of the femoral stem are mostly acquired before 75 sessions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prospective study-Level II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood homeostasis requires the daily production of millions of terminally differentiated effector cells that all originate from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). HSCs are rare and exhibit unique self-renewal and multipotent properties, which depend on their ability to maintain quiescence through ill-defined processes. Defective control of cell cycle progression can eventually lead to bone marrow failure or malignancy. In particular, the molecular mechanisms tying cell cycle re-entry to cell fate commitment in HSCs remain elusive. Previous studies have identified chromatin coordination as a key regulator of differentiation in embryonic stem cells. RESULTS Here, we utilized genetic inactivation of the chromatin-associated Sin3B protein to manipulate cell cycle control and found dysregulated chromatin accessibility and cell cycle progression in HSCs. Single cell transcriptional profiling of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) inactivated for Sin3B reveals aberrant progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle, which correlates with the engagement of specific signaling pathways, including aberrant expression of cell adhesion molecules and the interferon signaling program in LT-HSCs. In addition, we uncover the Sin3B-dependent accessibility of genomic elements controlling HSC differentiation, which points to cell cycle progression possibly dictating the priming of HSCs for differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide new insights into controlled cell cycle progression as a potential regulator of HSC lineage commitment through the modulation of chromatin features.

Abstract
Transcription and DNA damage repair act in a coordinated manner. The scaffolding protein SIN3B serves as a transcriptional co-repressor of hundreds of cell cycle-related genes. However, the contribution of SIN3B during the DNA damage response remains unknown. Here, we show that SIN3B inactivation delays the resolution of DNA double-strand breaks and sensitizes cancer cells to DNA-damaging agents, including the chemotherapeutic drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin. Mechanistically, SIN3B is rapidly recruited to DNA damage sites where it directs the accumulation of Mediator of DNA Damage Checkpoint 1 (MDC1). In addition, we show that SIN3B inactivation favors the engagement of the alternative nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway over the canonical NHEJ. Altogether, our findings impute an unexpected function for the transcriptional co-repressor SIN3B as a gatekeeper of genomic integrity and a determining factor in the DNA repair choice pathway, and point to the inhibition of the SIN3B chromatin-modifying complex as a novel therapeutic vulnerability in cancer cells. IMPLICATIONS Identifying SIN3B as a modulator of DNA damage repair choice provides novel potential therapeutic avenues to sensitize cancer cells to cytotoxic therapies.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
To maintain blood homeostasis, millions of terminally differentiated effector cells are produced every day. At the apex of this massive and constant blood production lie hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), a rare cell type harboring unique self-renewal and multipotent properties. A key feature of HSCs is their ability to temporarily exit the cell cycle in a state termed quiescence. Defective control of cell cycle progression can eventually lead to bone marrow failure or malignant transformation. Recent work in embryonic stem cells has suggested that cells can more robustly respond to differentiation cues in the early phases of the cell cycle, owing to a discrete chromatin state permissive to cell fate commitment. However, the molecular mechanisms tying cell cycle re-entry to cell fate commitment in adult stem cells such as HSCs remain elusive. Here, we report that the chromatin-associated Sin3B protein is necessary for HSCs' commitment to differentiation, but dispensable for their self-renewal or survival. Transcriptional profiling of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) genetically inactivated for Sin3B at the single cell level reveals aberrant cell cycle gene expression, correlating with the defective engagement of discrete signaling programs. In particular, the loss of Sin3B in the hematopoietic compartment results in aberrant expression of cell adhesion molecules and essential components of the interferon signaling cascade in LT-HSCs. Finally, chromatin accessibility profiling in LT-HSCs suggests a link between Sin3B-dependent cell cycle progression and priming of hematopoietic stem cells for differentiation. Together, these results point to controlled progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle as a likely regulator of HSC lineage commitment through the modulation of chromatin features.

Abstract
Cancer cell dormancy has emerged as an important nongenetic driver of drug resistance. Dormant cells are characterized by a reversible cell cycle exit. They represent a reservoir for eventual cancer relapse, and upon reactivation, can fuel metastatic disease. Although dormant cells were originally believed to emerge from a drug-resistant pre-existing cancer subpopulation, this notion has been recently challenged. Here, we review recent evidence indicating that dormancy represents an adaptive strategy employed by cancer cells to avoid the cytotoxic effects of antitumor therapy. Furthermore, we outline the molecular pathways engaged by cancer cells to enter dormancy upon drug exposure, with a focus on cellular senescence as a driver of dormancy.

Abstract
Studying spin-momentum correlations in hadronic collisions offers a glimpse into a three-dimensional picture of proton structure. The transverse single-spin asymmetry for midrapidity isolated direct photons in p^{↑}+p collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Because direct photons in particular are produced from the hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force, this measurement is a clean probe of initial-state spin-momentum correlations inside the proton and is in particular sensitive to gluon interference effects within the proton. This is the first time direct photons have been used as a probe of spin-momentum correlations at RHIC. The uncertainties on the results are a 50-fold improvement with respect to those of the one prior measurement for the same observable, from the Fermilab E704 experiment. These results constrain gluon spin-momentum correlations in transversely polarized protons.

Abstract
Senescent cells are found to accumulate in aged individuals, as well as in cancer patients that receive chemotherapeutic treatment. Although originally believed to halt cancer progression due to their characteristic growth arrest, senescent cells remain metabolically active and secrete a combination of inflammatory agents, growth factors and proteases, collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). In this review, we discuss the contribution of senescent cells to cancer progression through their ability to alter cancer cells’ properties and to generate a microenvironment that promotes tumor growth. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that senescent cells are able resume proliferation and drive cancer relapse, pointing to the use of senolytics and SASP modulators as a potential approach to prevent tumor resurgence following treatment cessation. Thus, a better understanding of the hallmarks of senescence and the impact of the SASP will allow the development of improved targeted therapeutic strategies to leverage vulnerabilities associated with this cellular state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epigenetic mechanisms are critical in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Previous studies have suggested that hypermethylation of the BMPR2 (bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2) promoter is associated with BMPR2 downregulation and progression of PAH. Here, we investigated for the first time the role of SIN3a (switch-independent 3a), a transcriptional regulator, in the epigenetic mechanisms underlying hypermethylation of BMPR2 in the pathogenesis of PAH. METHODS We used lung samples from PAH patients and non-PAH controls, preclinical mouse and rat PAH models, and human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells. Expression of SIN3a was modulated using a lentiviral vector or a siRNA in vitro and a specific adeno-associated virus serotype 1 or a lentivirus encoding for human SIN3a in vivo. RESULTS SIN3a is a known transcriptional regulator; however, its role in cardiovascular diseases, especially PAH, is unknown. It is interesting that we detected a dysregulation of SIN3 expression in patients and in rodent models, which is strongly associated with decreased BMPR2 expression. SIN3a is known to regulate epigenetic changes. Therefore, we tested its role in the regulation of BMPR2 and found that BMPR2 is regulated by SIN3a. It is interesting that SIN3a overexpression inhibited human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells proliferation and upregulated BMPR2 expression by preventing the methylation of the BMPR2 promoter region. RNA-sequencing analysis suggested that SIN3a downregulated the expression of DNA and histone methyltransferases such as DNMT1 (DNA methyltransferase 1) and EZH2 (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2) while promoting the expression of the DNA demethylase TET1 (ten-eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase 1). Mechanistically, SIN3a promoted BMPR2 expression by decreasing CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) binding to the BMPR2 promoter. Last, we identified intratracheal delivery of adeno-associated virus serotype human SIN3a to be a beneficial therapeutic approach in PAH by attenuating pulmonary vascular and right ventricle remodeling, decreasing right ventricle systolic pressure and mean pulmonary arterial pressure, and restoring BMPR2 expression in rodent models of PAH. CONCLUSIONS All together, our study unveiled the protective and beneficial role of SIN3a in pulmonary hypertension. We also identified a novel and distinct molecular mechanism by which SIN3a regulates BMPR2 in human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells. Our study also identified lung-targeted SIN3a gene therapy using adeno-associated virus serotype 1 as a new promising therapeutic strategy for treating patients with PAH.

Abstract
Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an insidious and fatal interstitial lung disease associated with declining pulmonary function. Accelerated aging, loss of epithelial progenitor cell function and/or numbers, and cellular senescence are implicated in the pathogenies of IPF.Objectives: We sought to investigate the role of alveolar type 2 (AT2) cellular senescence in initiation and/or progression of pulmonary fibrosis and therapeutic potential of targeting senescence-related pathways and senescent cells.Methods: Epithelial cells of 9 control donor proximal and distal lung tissues and 11 IPF fibrotic lung tissues were profiled by single-cell RNA sequencing to assesses the contribution of epithelial cells to the senescent cell fraction for IPF. A novel mouse model of conditional AT2 cell senescence was generated to study the role of cellular senescence in pulmonary fibrosis.Measurements and Main Results: We show that AT2 cells isolated from IPF lung tissue exhibit characteristic transcriptomic features of cellular senescence. We used conditional loss of Sin3a in adult mouse AT2 cells to initiate a program of p53-dependent cellular senescence, AT2 cell depletion, and spontaneous, progressive pulmonary fibrosis. We establish that senescence rather than loss of AT2 cells promotes progressive fibrosis and show that either genetic or pharmacologic interventions targeting p53 activation or senescence block fibrogenesis.Conclusions: Senescence of AT2 cells is sufficient to drive progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Early attenuation of senescence-related pathways and elimination of senescent cells are promising therapeutic approaches to prevent pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
PROBLEM Physician-scientists are individuals trained in both clinical practice and scientific research. Often, the goal of physician-scientist training is to address pressing questions in biomedical research. The established pathways to formally train such individuals are mainly MD-PhD programs and physician-scientist track residencies. Although graduates of these pathways are well equipped to be physician-scientists, numerous factors, including funding and length of training, discourage application to such programs and impede success rates. APPROACH To address some of the pressing challenges in training and retaining burgeoning physician-scientists, New York University Grossman School of Medicine formed the Accelerated MD-PhD-Residency Pathway in 2016. This pathway builds on the previously established accelerated 3-year MD pathway to residency at the same institution. The Accelerated MD-PhD-Residency Pathway conditionally accepts MD-PhD trainees to a residency position at the same institution through the National Resident Matching Program. OUTCOMES Since its inception, 2 students have joined the Accelerated MD-PhD-Residency Pathway, which provides protected research time in their chosen residency. The pathway reduces the time to earn an MD and PhD by 1 year and reduces the MD training phase to 3 years, reducing the cost and lowering socioeconomic barriers. Remaining at the same institution for residency allows for the growth of strong research collaborations and mentoring opportunities, which foster success. NEXT STEPS The authors and institutional leaders plan to increase the number of trainees who are accepted into the Accelerated MD-PhD-Residency Pathway and track the success of these students through residency and into practice to determine if the pathway is meeting its goal of increasing the number of practicing physician-scientists. The authors hope this model can serve as an example to leaders at other institutions who may wish to adopt this pathway for the training of their MD-PhD students.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell functions are regulated by diverse inhibitory and activating receptors, including killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR), which interact with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules. Some KIR/HLA genetic combinations were reported associated with spontaneous clearance (SC) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) but with discordant results, possibly reflecting KIR and/or HLA gene polymorphism according to populations. KIR/HLA genetic combinations associated with both an exhaustive NK and T cell repertoire were investigated in a cohort of HIV-HCV co-infected individuals with either SC (n = 68) or chronic infection (CI, n = 163) compared to uninfected blood donors [controls (Ctrl), n = 100]. Multivariate analysis showed that the HLA C2C2 environment was associated with SC only in European HIV-HCV co-infected individuals [odds ratio (OR) = 4·30, 95% confidence interval = 1·57-12·25, P = 0·005]. KIR2D+ NK cell repertoire and potential of degranulation of KIR2DL1/S1+ NK cells were similar in the SC European cohort compared to uninfected individuals. In contrast, decreased frequencies of KIR2DS1+ and KIR2DL2+ NK cells were detected in the CI group of Europeans compared to SC and a decreased frequency of KIR2DL1/S1+ NK cells compared to controls. Regarding T cells, higher frequencies of DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1)+ and CD57+ T cells were observed in SC in comparison to controls. Interestingly, SC subjects emphasized increased frequencies of KIR2DL2/L3/S2+ T cells compared to CI subjects. Our study underlines that the C2 environment may activate efficient KIR2DL1+ NK cells in a viral context and maintain a KIR2DL2/L3/S2+ mature T cell response in the absence of KIR2DL2 engagement with its cognate ligands in SC group of HCV-HIV co-infected European patients.

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the Curiosity rover's exploration at Vera Rubin ridge (VRR) and summarizes the science results. VRR is a distinct geomorphic feature on lower Aeolis Mons (informally known as Mount Sharp) that was identified in orbital data based on its distinct texture, topographic expression, and association with a hematite spectral signature. Curiosity conducted extensive remote sensing observations, acquired data on dozens of contact science targets, and drilled three outcrop samples from the ridge, as well as one outcrop sample immediately below the ridge. Our observations indicate that strata composing VRR were deposited in a predominantly lacustrine setting and are part of the Murray formation. The rocks within the ridge are chemically in family with underlying Murray formation strata. Red hematite is dispersed throughout much of the VRR bedrock, and this is the source of the orbital spectral detection. Gray hematite is also present in isolated, gray-colored patches concentrated toward the upper elevations of VRR, and these gray patches also contain small, dark Fe-rich nodules. We propose that VRR formed when diagenetic event(s) preferentially hardened rocks, which were subsequently eroded into a ridge by wind. Diagenesis also led to enhanced crystallization and/or cementation that deepened the ferric-related spectral absorptions on the ridge, which helped make them readily distinguishable from orbit. Results add to existing evidence of protracted aqueous environments at Gale crater and give new insight into how diagenesis shaped Mars' rock record.

Abstract
Objective: To identify predictive and modifiable risk factors associated with fever and urosepsis in the post-operative period of ureteropyeloscopy and laser lithotripsy procedures for urolithiasis. Materials and methods: Records from 284 consecutive adult patients undergoing laser lithotripsy at John Hunter Hospital, Australia (2013–2017) were retrospectively reviewed. A wide variety of demographics, results, anaesthetic and operative data were compared between those who developed infectious complications (defined as fever ⩾38 or sepsis from a urinary source) and those who did not. Results: In total, 372 cases of Holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy were included. Despite excellent antibiotic prophylaxis rates, 10.2% ( n=38) of patients developed infectious complications (81.6% within 24 hrs). Urosepsis cases were twice as likely to have a positive pre-operative urine culture ( p=0.0148) and nearly four times as likely to have mixed growth ( p=0.0001). The proportion of smokers was twice as high in the infectious complication group (42.1%, p=0.0017), as was incomplete stone clearance (31.6% compared to 12.3%, p=0.0013), and female patients were twice as likely to develop an infectious complication as men (16.7% of all female cases, 7.1% of all male cases). Conclusion: Infectious complications post laser lithotripsy remain common in the Australian setting. Positive pre-operative urine culture, current smoking status, incomplete stone clearance and female gender were identified as significant risk factors. We propose high-risk patients should be monitored in the post-operative period with a low threshold for extending antibiotic therapy and every opportunity taken for smoking cessation counselling. Level of evidence: 3a (according to Oxford centre for evidence-based medicine)

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected tropical disease that affects mainly vulnerable population, whose majority has low ability to understand health information. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of health literacy (HL) and its association with sociodemographic, quality of life, health care aspects and worse clinical outcomes.
Methods
This is a cross-sectional study developed inside a cohort study (SaMi-Trop) including 1959 patients. It has been conducted in an endemic region to CD in Brazil. The eligible criteria for HL evaluation was the ability to read. The HL was assessed with SALPHA-18 scale and literacy was categorized in inadequate HL; adequate HL and; illiterate. Multiple models were adjusted using binary logistic regression, multinomial and beta regression models using the gamlss framework.
Results
Of the patients included, 1136 (74.1%) are illiterate. For HL assessment, only 397 managed to complete the HL evaluation. The prevalence of inadequate HL was 85.1% (338), only 59 patients (14.9%) had adequate HL. Our results are as following: 1) being illiterate increases the chance of using more drugs when compared to individuals with adequate HL - 1 or 2 drugs (OR: 1.96; CI: 1.06-3.62) and 3 to 4 medications (OR: 3.06; CI:1.44-6.52), to have hypertension (OR: 2.24; CI: 1.29-3.90), report an average self-perceived health (OR: 2.97; IC: 1.63-5.42) and report poor self-perceived health (OR: 3.67; CI: 1.71-7.89); 2) inadequate literacy increases the chance of using 3 to 4 medications (OR: 2.26; CI: 1.04-4.93) and report an average self-perceived health (OR: 2.48; CI: 1.34-4.62); 3) Illiterate patients present worst quality of life scores in Physical (OR: 0,730; CI: 0,583-0,914), Psychological (OR: 0,671; CI: 0,544-0,828) and Environmental (OR: 0,727; CI: 0,601-0,880) domains.
Conclusions
We found a high prevalence of inadequate HL; it was associated with worse clinical outcomes and poor self-perceived health.
Key messages
Our findings reinforce the importance of improving health communication in CD patients seeking to avoid unfavorable outcomes. A high prevalence of inadequate health literacy was observed in our study, which can impact the self-care ability of patients with CD.
