Sun S, Zhou J, Bai Y, Gao W, Lin L, Jiang T, You C, Gu Y. Role of oedema and shrinkage patterns for prediction of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and survival outcomes in luminal breast cancer. Clin Radiol 2024:S0009-9260(24)00247-2. [PMID: 38830784 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2024.04.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To explore the independent and additional value of oedema and shrinkage patterns for predicting the disease-free survival (DFS) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response in luminal breast cancer (BC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with luminal BC who underwent NAC were enrolled in this study from 2017 to 2022. Traditional MRI features include BI-RADS-based MRI descriptors, tumor size, and ADC values, while emerging MRI features include oedema and shrinkage patterns, all of which were evaluated before, early, and after NAC. The changes in features during NAC were also evaluated. The value of features was evaluated through univariate, multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 258 patients were enrolled in this study, of which 77 responded to NAC. Diffuse oedema, stable or increased oedema during early NAC were adverse predictors for treatment response, while a greater reduction in tumor size and increase in ADC value were favorable predictors (all P<0.05). Furthermore, 20 of 60 patients who were followed up experienced recurrence. Diffuse oedema, pre-pectoral or subcutaneous oedema, and non-concentric shrinkage patterns after NAC were risk factors for DFS, whereas a greater increase in ADC value was a protective factor. Incorporating oedema and shrinkage patterns into traditional MRI features improved the predictive performance for treatment response (AUC from 0.76-0.78 to 0.80-0.83) and DFS (C-index from 0.67-69 to 0.75-0.80). CONCLUSIONS Oedema is an unfavorable predictor for treatment response and survival outcomes, while shrinkage patterns contribute more to the prognostic value, both of which could offer supplementary benefits for clinical outcomes in luminal BC.

Bergunde L, Steudte-Schmiedgen S, Karl M, Jaramillo I, Gao W, von Soest T, Garthus-Niegel S. Stability and inter-family associations of hair endocannabinoid and N-acylethanolamines across the perinatal period in mothers, fathers, and children. Sci Rep 2024; 14:9459. [PMID: 38658668 PMCID: PMC11043453 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-59818-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Analysis of endocannabinoids (ECs) and N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) in hair is assumed to retrospectively assess long-term EC/NAE concentrations. To inform their use, this study investigated stability of EC/NAE hair concentrations in mothers, fathers, and their children across the perinatal period as well as associations between family members. In a prospective cohort study, EC (AEA, 1-AG/2-AG) and NAE (SEA, PEA, OEA) levels were quantified in hair samples taken four times in mothers (n = 336) and their partners (n = 225) from pregnancy to two years postpartum and in offspring (n = 319) from shortly after birth to two years postpartum. Across the perinatal period, maternal and paternal hair ECs/NAEs showed poor multiple-test consistency (16-36%) and variable relative stability, as well as inconsistent absolute stability for mothers. Regarding children, hair ECs/NAEs evidenced poor multiple-test consistency (4-19%), no absolute stability, and either no or variable relative stability. Hair ECs/NAEs showed small to medium significant associations across the perinatal period within couples and parent-child dyads. Findings suggest hair ECs/NAEs during the perinatal period possess variable stability in adults, albeit more stability in fathers than mothers in this time. This highlights the need to further investigate factors associated with changes in hair ECs/NAEs across time. The first two years of life may be a dynamic phase for the endocannabinoid system in children, potentially characterized by complex within-family correspondence that requires further systematic investigation.

Measurements of All-Particle Energy Spectrum and Mean Logarithmic Mass of Cosmic Rays from 0.3 to 30 PeV with LHAASO-KM2A. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2024; 132:131002. [PMID: 38613275 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.132.131002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
We present the measurements of all-particle energy spectrum and mean logarithmic mass of cosmic rays in the energy range of 0.3-30 PeV using data collected from LHAASO-KM2A between September 2021 and December 2022, which is based on a nearly composition-independent energy reconstruction method, achieving unprecedented accuracy. Our analysis reveals the position of the knee at 3.67±0.05±0.15 PeV. Below the knee, the spectral index is found to be -2.7413±0.0004±0.0050, while above the knee, it is -3.128±0.005±0.027, with the sharpness of the transition measured with a statistical error of 2%. The mean logarithmic mass of cosmic rays is almost heavier than helium in the whole measured energy range. It decreases from 1.7 at 0.3 PeV to 1.3 at 3 PeV, representing a 24% decline following a power law with an index of -0.1200±0.0003±0.0341. This is equivalent to an increase in abundance of light components. Above the knee, the mean logarithmic mass exhibits a power law trend towards heavier components, which is reversal to the behavior observed in the all-particle energy spectrum. Additionally, the knee position and the change in power-law index are approximately the same. These findings suggest that the knee observed in the all-particle spectrum corresponds to the knee of the light component, rather than the medium-heavy components.

Age effect on the shared etiology of glycemic traits and serum lipids: evidence from a Chinese twin study. J Endocrinol Invest 2024; 47:535-546. [PMID: 37524979 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-023-02164-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetes and dyslipidemia are among the most common chronic diseases with increasing global disease burdens, and they frequently occur together. The study aimed to investigate differences in the heritability of glycemic traits and serum lipid indicators and differences in overlapping genetic and environmental influences between them across age groups. METHODS This study included 1189 twin pairs from the Chinese National Twin Registry and divided them into three groups: aged ≤ 40, 41-50, and > 50 years old. Univariate and bivariate structural equation models (SEMs) were conducted on glycemic indicators and serum lipid indicators, including blood glucose (GLU), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), in the total sample and three age groups. RESULTS All phenotypes showed moderate to high heritability (0.37-0.64). The heritability of HbA1c demonstrated a downward trend with age (HbA1c: 0.50-0.79), while others remained relatively stable (GLU: 0.55-0.62, TC: 0.58-0.66, TG: 0.50-0.63, LDL-C: 0.24-0.58, HDL-C: 0.31-0.57). The bivariate SEMs demonstrated that GLU and HbA1c were correlated with each serum lipid indicator (0.10-0.17), except HDL-C. Except for HbA1c and LDL-C, as well as HbA1c and HDL-C, differences in genetic correlations underlying glycemic traits and serum lipids between age groups were observed, with the youngest group showing a significantly higher genetic correlation than the oldest group. CONCLUSION Across the whole adulthood, genetic influences were consistently important for GLU, TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C, and age may affect the shared genetic influences between glycemic traits and serum lipids. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of age in the interactions of genes related to glycemic traits and serum lipids.

Abstract
Thymus is the main immune organ which is responsible for the production of self-tolerant and functional T cells, but it shrinks rapidly with age after birth. Although studies have researched thymus development and involution in mouse, the critical regulators that arise with age in human thymus remain unclear. We collected public human single-cell transcriptomic sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets containing 350,678 cells from 36 samples, integrated them as a cell atlas of human thymus. Clinical samples were collected and experiments were performed for validation. We found early thymocyte-specific signaling and regulons which played roles in thymocyte migration, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Nevertheless, signaling patterns including number, strength and path completely changed during aging, Transcription factors (FOXC1, MXI1, KLF9, NFIL3) and their target gene, IGFBP5, were resolved and up-regulated in aging thymus and involved in promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), responding to steroid and adipogenesis process of thymic epithelial cell (TECs). Furthermore, we validated that IGFBP5 protein increased at TECs and Hassall's corpuscle in both human and mouse aging thymus and knockdown of IGFBP5 significantly increased the expression of proliferation-related genes in thymocytes. Collectively, we systematically explored cell-cell communications and regulons of early thymocytes as well as age-related differences in human thymus by using both bioinformatic and experimental verification, indicating IGFBP5 as a functional marker of thymic involution and providing new insights into the mechanisms of thymus involution.

Abstract
Objective: To verify the predictive value of the Second Revision of the International Staging System (R2-ISS) in newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who underwent first-line autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in a new drug era in China. Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with newly diagnosed MM from three centers in China (Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University; the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University) from June 2008 to June 2018. A total of 401 newly diagnosed patients with MM who were candidates for ASCT were enrolled in this cohort, all received proteasome inhibitor and/or immunomodulator-based induction chemotherapy followed by ASCT. Baseline and follow-up data were collected. The patients were regrouped using R2-ISS. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival curve and two survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. Cox regression analysis were performed to analyze the relationship between risk factors and survival. Results: The median age of the patients was 53 years (range 25-69 years) and 59.5% (240 cases) were men. Newly diagnosed patients with renal impairment accounted for 11.5% (46 cases). According to Revised-International Staging System (R-ISS), 74 patients (18.5 %) were diagnosed with stage Ⅰ, 259 patients (64.6%) with stage Ⅱ, and 68 patients (17.0%) with stage Ⅲ. According to the R2-ISS, the distribution of patients in each group was as follows: 50 patients (12.5%) in stage Ⅰ, 95 patients (23.7%) in stage Ⅱ, 206 patients (51.4%) in stage Ⅲ, and 50 patients (12.5%) in stage Ⅳ. The median follow-up time was 35.9 months (range, 6-119 months). According to the R2-ISS stage, the median PFS in each group was: 75.3 months for stage Ⅰ; 62.0 months for stage Ⅱ, 39.2 months for stage Ⅲ, and 30.3 months for stage Ⅳ; and the median OS was not reached, 86.6 months, 71.6 months, and 38.5 months, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in PFS and OS between different groups (both P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ of the R2-ISS were independent prognostic factors for PFS (HR=2.37, 95%CI 1.30-4.30; HR=4.50, 95%CI 2.35-9.01) and OS (HR=4.20, 95%CI 1.50-11.80; HR=9.53, 95%CI 3.21-28.29). Conclusions: The R2-ISS has significant predictive value for PFS and OS for transplant-eligible patients with MM in the new drug era. However, the universality of the R2-ISS still needs to be further verified in different populations.

Abstract
Male infertility is a global health problem especially prevalent in high-altitude regions. The epididymis is essential for sperm maturation, but the influence of environmental cues on its reshaping remains poorly understood. Here, we use single-cell transcriptomics to track the cellular profiles of epidydimal cells in rats raised under normoxia or extended hypoxia. The results show that hypoxia impairs epididymal function, evident in reduced epithelial cells, compromised blood-epididymis barrier integrity, and increased natural killer cells. Through combined analysis of gene-regulatory networks and cell-cell interaction maps, we identify epididymal hypoxia-sensitive cells that communicate with natural killer (NK) cells via increased intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) driven by KLF4 recruitment of the histone methyltransferase ASL1L to the Icam1 promoter. Taken together, our study offers a detailed blueprint of epididymal changes during hypoxia and defines a KLF4-ALSH1L-ICAM-1 axis contributing to NK cell activation, yielding a potential treatment targeting hypoxia-induced infertility.

Abstract
The diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission, mainly produced via interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium and/or radiation field, is a very important probe of the distribution, propagation, and interaction of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. In this Letter, we report the measurements of diffuse γ rays from the Galactic plane between 10 TeV and 1 PeV energies, with the square kilometer array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). Diffuse emissions from the inner (15°10 TeV). The energy spectrum in the inner Galaxy regions can be described by a power-law function with an index of -2.99±0.04, which is different from the curved spectrum as expected from hadronic interactions between locally measured cosmic rays and the line-of-sight integrated gas content. Furthermore, the measured flux is higher by a factor of ∼3 than the prediction. A similar spectrum with an index of -2.99±0.07 is found in the outer Galaxy region, and the absolute flux for 10≲E≲60 TeV is again higher than the prediction for hadronic cosmic ray interactions. The latitude distributions of the diffuse emission are consistent with the gas distribution, while the longitude distributions show clear deviation from the gas distribution. The LHAASO measurements imply that either additional emission sources exist or cosmic ray intensities have spatial variations.

Abstract
Montmorillonite (MMT), a natural absorbent agent, has widely been accepted for its antidiarrhea function in human and farm animals; however, its specific physicochemical property limits its biological function in practical use. In the current study, raw MMT was loaded by andrographolide, namely andrographolide loaded montmorillonite (AGP-MMT). The microstructure of AGP-MMT was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of AGP-MMT on the growth performance, intestinal barrier and inflammation was investigated in an enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) challenged mice model. The results show that the microstructure of MMT was obviously changed after andrographolide modification: AGP-MMT exhibited a large number of spheroid particles, and floccule aggregates, but lower interplanar spacing compared with MMT. ETEC infection induced body weight losses and intestinal barrier function injury, as indicated by a lower villus height and ratio of villus height/crypt depth, whereas the serum levels of diamine oxidase (DAO), D-xylose and ETEC shedding were higher in the ETEC group compared with the CON group. Mice pretreated with AGP-MMT showed alleviated body weight losses and the intestinal barrier function injury induced by ETEC challenge. The villus height and the ratio of villus height/crypt depth, were higher in mice pretreated with AGP-MMT than those pretreated with equal levels of MMT. Pretreatment with AGP-MMT also alleviated the increased concentration of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and the corresponding genes in the jejunum induced by ETEC infection in mice. The protein and mRNA levels of IL-1β were lower in mice pretreated with AGP-MMT than those with equal levels of MMT. The results indicate that AGP-MMT was more effective in alleviating intestinal barrier injury and inflammation in mice with ETEC challenge than MMT.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of regenerating islet-derived protein 3A (REG3A) on the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: Five low-grade, five high-grade glioma tissues and ten adjacent tissues from glioma patients who underwent surgery at Linyi People's Hospital from October 17, 2017 to October 18, 2018 were collected. Human glioma cell lines (SF295, U251, TG905, A172, CRT) and a primary glioma cell line PT-1 were cultured in vitro. The protein and mRNA expressions of REG3A in these tissues and glioma cell lines were detected by Western blot and reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). SF295 cells were infected with lentivirus and labeled as REG3A plasmid transfection group, and the TG905 cells were transfected with si-REG3A by liposome transfection reagent and labeled as si-REG3A transfection group. At the same time, the empty transfection control and blank control groups were set up. Glioma cells were treated with REG3A recombinant protein alone or in combination with Akt1/2 inhibitors. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and cell scratch assay were used to detect cell proliferation and invasion, respectively. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and phosphorylation of Akt (p-Akt) in REG3A overexpressed and knockdown glioma cells. Results: RT-qPCR results showed that the mRNA expression levels of REG3A in glioma cells in each group were U251 (2.129±0.13), TG905 (2.22±0.59), CRT (5.02±0.31), A172 (6.62±1.34) and PT-1 (9.18±0.61), respectively, higher than its expression in SF295 cells (1.00±0.18, P<0.001). The mRNA expression level of REG3A in high-grade glioma tissue samples (3.18±2.92) was higher than that in the control group (1.00±1.14, P=0.031) and low-grade glioma group (0.90±0.67, P=0.014). The results of western blot and immunohistochemical staining were consistent with that of RT-qPCR. The migration rate of cells in si-REG3A transfection group [(60.57±5.30)%] was lower than that of the empty transfection group [(84.18±13.63)% (P=0.038)] and blank control group [(79.65±12.09)% (P=0.076)]. The results of the scratch experiment showed that the migration rate of cells in REG3A plasmid transfected cells in the SF295 group was (96.05±6.41)%, which was significantly higher than that of empty transfected cells [(74.47±8.23)%, P=0.021)]. REG3A recombinant protein could up-regulate the expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and p-Akt in SF295 cells. Compared with the control group [(100.00±2.53)%], the proliferation rate in the REG3A recombinant protein group [(117.70±10.24)%] was significantly up-regulated, and the proliferation rate in the REG3A recombinant protein+ Akt inhibitor group [(98.31±3.64)%] was significantly lower than that of the REG3A recombinant protein group (P=0.017). The migration rate of the REG3A recombinant protein+ Akt inhibitor group was (63.35±4.06)%, which was significantly lower than (89.26±11.07)% of the REG3A recombinant protein group (P=0.019). Conclusion: REG3A can promote the proliferation and invasion of human glioma cells by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the effects of arteriovenous argatroban and heparin flushes on platelet count and assess the occurrence of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and other complications in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgeries. Methods: A single-center, prospective randomized control study was conducted. Patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from March to December 2019 were randomly divided into the argatroban group (250 ml normal saline plus 2.5 mg of argatroban) and the heparin group (250 ml normal saline plus 10 mg of heparin). Platelet count, hemorrhage, and thrombosis were assessed. The 4T scores of HIT, the incidences of HIT and other complications were also evaluated. Results: A total of 491 patients (307 males and 184 females) were included in the study, with a mean age of (52.3±13.7) years. There were 245 cases in the argatroban group and 246 cases in the heparin group, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative platelet count between the argatroban and heparin groups [198.0 (161.0, 248.0)×109/L vs 194.0 (157.2, 243.8)×109/L, P=0.498]. Likewise, there were no statistically significant differences in the platelet count between the argatroban and heparin groups at 12 h, 1 day, and 5 days after operation [127.0 (100.0, 154.0)×109/L vs 121.5 (90.2, 149.0)×109/L, 126.0 (97.0, 162.0)×109/L vs 123.5 (88.0, 151.0)×109/L, 168.0 (130.0, 215.0) ×109/L vs 161.0 (101.0, 210.5)×109/L] (repeated measures ANOVA between groups: F=3.327, P=0.069; time comparison: F=532.523, P<0.001; time interaction between groups: F=0.675, P=0.512). The proportion of 4T scores of medium and high scores (≥4)[9.8% (24/245) vs 10.6% (26/246), P=0.777] and incidence of HIT antibody positive [1.63% (4/245) vs 1.63% (4/246), P=0.726] were similar between argatroban group and the heparin group. Mechanical ventilation time was shorter in the argatroban group than that in the heparin group [13.0 (11.0, 21.0) vs 15.5 (12.0, 21.0) h, P=0.020]. Conclusion: Compared with heparin, routine management with argatroban for arteriovenous flush in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery does not affect the HIT incidence.

Abstract
Some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have a tera-electron volt (TeV) afterglow, but the early onset of this has not been observed. We report observations with the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory of the bright GRB 221009A, which serendipitously occurred within the instrument field of view. More than 64,000 photons >0.2 TeV were detected within the first 3000 seconds. The TeV flux began several minutes after the GRB trigger, then rose to a peak about 10 seconds later. This was followed by a decay phase, which became more rapid ~650 seconds after the peak. We interpret the emission using a model of a relativistic jet with half-opening angle ~0.8°. This is consistent with the core of a structured jet and could explain the high isotropic energy of this GRB.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of transcatheter fenestration closure following Fontan procedure with an atrial septal occluder. Methods: This is a retrospective study. The study sample consists of all consecutive patients who underwent closure of a fenestrated Fontan baffle at Shanghai Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between June 2002 and December 2019. The indications of Fontan fenestration closure included that normal ventricular function, targeted drugs for pulmonary hypertension and positive inotropic drugs were not required prior the procedure; and the Fontan circuit pressure was less than 16 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and no more than a 2 mmHg increase during test occlusion of the fenestration. Electrocardiogram and echocardiography were reviewed at 24 hours, 1, 3, 6 months and annually thereafter post procedure. Follow-up information including clinical events and complications related to Fontan procedure was recorded. Results: A total of 11 patients, including 6 males and 5 females, aged (8.9±3.7) years old were included. The types of Fontan were extracardiac conduits (7 cases) and intra-atrial duct (4 cases). The interval between percutaneous fenestration closure and the Fontan procedure was (5.1±2.9) years. One patient reported recurrent headache after Fontan procedure. Successful fenestration occlusion with atrial septal occluder was achieved in all patients. Compared with prior closure, Fontan circuit pressure ((12.72±1.90) mmHg vs. (12.36±1.63) mmHg, P<0.05), and aortic oxygen saturation ((95.11±3.11)% vs. (86.35±7.26)%, P<0.01) were increased. There were no procedural complications. At a median follow-up of (3.8±1.2) years, there was no residual leak and evidence of stenosis within the Fontan circuit in all patient. No complication was observed during follow-up. One patient with preoperative headache did not have recurrent headache after closure. Conclusions: If the Fontan pressure is acceptable by test occlusion during the catheterization procedure, Fontan fenestration could be occluded with the atrial septum defect device. It is a safe and effective procedure, and could be used for occlusion of Fontan fenestration with varying sizes and morphologies.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the impact of Friday surgery on clinical outcomes in elderly patients with hip fracture under multidisciplinary treatment. Methods: A retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 414 geriatric patients with hip fractures admitted to Zhongda Hospital Affiliated with Southeast University from January 2018 to March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, including 126 males and 288 females with a mean age of (81.3±7.6) years. The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they underwent surgery on Friday or not. The Friday group(n=69) and the non-Friday group(n=345) were compared in terms of general information, American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) classification, fracture type, injury to admission time, preoperative waiting time, surgical method, anesthesia type and use of intensive care unit (ICU) fast track. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed based on age, ASA grade, time from injury to admission, preoperative waiting time, hemoglobin and albumin levels at admission. Clinical outcomes were collected and compared between the two groups, including length of hospital stay, total hospitalization cost and 30-day, 90-day and 1-year mortality rates, and postoperative complications. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify influencing factors for 1-year mortality in geriatric patients with hip fracture. Results: Baseline data showed statistically significant differences in hemoglobin, albumin and preoperative waiting time between the two groups (all P<0.05). After PSM matching, 69 patients were included in each group, and no significant differences were observed in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant differences in 30-day mortality rate (4.3% vs 0, P=0.080), 90-day mortality rate (7.2% vs 1.4%, P=0.095), length of hospital stay [(10.85±4.45)d vs (10.92±3.68)d, P=0.919], total hospitalization cost [(60.9±15.4) thousands yuan vs (59.1±15.4) thousands yuan, P=0.489], postoperative complications [pneumonia (11.6% vs 13.0%, P=0.796), cardio-cerebrovascular complications (11.6% vs 8.7%, P=0.573) and delirium (5.7% vs 2.9%, P=0.245)] between the Friday group and the non-Friday group (all P>0.05). However, the 1-year mortality rate was higher in the Friday group than that in the non-Friday group(18.8% vs 4.3%, P=0.008). Multivariate analysis revealed that surgery on Friday (OR=11.222, 95%CI: 2.198-57.291, P=0.004), low hemoglobin levels at admission (OR=0.920, 95%CI: 0.875-0.967, P=0.001), hemiarthroplasty treatment (OR=5.127, 95%CI: 1.308-20.095, P=0.019) and longer surgery duration (OR=0.958, 95%CI: 0.927-0.989, P=0.009) were influencing factors for 1-year mortality in geriatric patients with hip fracture. Conclusions: In the context of multidisciplinary treatment, Friday surgery does not increase short-term mortality, length of hospital stay, total hospitalization cost or incidence of complications in geriatric patients with hip fracture. However, it remains a influencing factor for 1-year mortality in those patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous disorder. We aimed to evaluate the value of blood eosinophil count (BEC) for guiding oral corticosteroid therapy for CRSwNP. METHODS Subjects with CRSwNP were entered into a 2:1 randomized biomarker-directed corticosteroid versus standard therapy study base on the principle of potential benefits to patients. Subjects in the standard arm received oral prednisone (30mg/day) alone for 7 days, whereas in the biomarker-directed arm, prednisone (30mg/day), or nasal steroid spray (budesonide 256ug/day) was given according to the BEC which was measured to define eosinophil-high and -low CRSwNP (BEC ≥ and < 0.37×109/L, respectively). The primary outcome was the total nasal symptom scores (TNSS) of the two arms with the non-inferiority margin of 1.8. Secondary outcomes included nasal polyp size scores (NPSS) and SNOT-22. Patients were followed up the day after last dose of treatment. RESULTS A total of 105 subjects with CRSwNP were randomized into the biomarker-directed therapy group or the standard care group. The biomarker therapy demonstrated non-inferiority compared to standard care. There were no between-group differences for TNSS, NPSS and SNOT-22 improvements after treatment. Comparisons of TNSS, SNOT-22 and NPSS revealed no significant difference in terms of the effectiveness ratios of the biomarker-directed therapy and the standard care. CONCLUSION A biomarker-directed strategy using the BEC can be used to direct corticosteroid therapy without increasing treatment failure or worsening of symptoms in patients with CRSwNP.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of cSMARCA5 in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: This study was a case-control study. A total of 100 patients with AMI and 100 patients without coronary heart disease who received treatment in the Department of Cardiology, Peking University Third Hospital from September to December 2021 were included in the study according to the principle of 1∶1 frequency matching. The expression levels of cSMARCA5 in the peripheral blood of AMI patients and control groups were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to calculate the diagnostic ability of cSMARCA5 for AMI. Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between cSMARCA5 and the degree of myocardial necrosis, coronary lesion severity and GRACE risk stratification score. Bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the possible mechanism of cSMARCA5 in pathological changes of AMI. Results: The age [M (Q1,Q3)] of AMI patients and control group was 63.0 (56.0, 71.5) and 63.0 (53.0, 75.5) (P=0.622), and the proportion of males was 75.0% (75 cases) and 46.0% (46 cases) (P<0.001), respectively. The expression level [M (Q1,Q3)] of cSMARCA5 was significantly lower in AMI patients compared with the control group [0.37 (0.22, 0.73) vs 1.03(0.71, 1.75), P<0.001]. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve of cSMARCA5 in diagnosing AMI was 0.83 (95%CI: 0.77-0.89, P<0.001), with a sensitivity of 89.0% and specificity of 67.7%. cSMARCA5 was negatively correlated with creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (r=-0.203, P=0.041), troponin T (r=-0.230, P=0.023) and N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor (r=-0.250, P=0.012), and positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.201, P=0.042). In addition, the expression level of cSMARCA5 was negatively correlated with SYNTAX score (r=-0.196, P=0.048) and GRACE risk score (r=-0.321, P=0.001). Bioinformatic analysis suggested that cSMARCA5 might be involved in the process of AMI through regulating the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor. Conclusions: The expression of cSMARCA5 is significantly decreased in peripheral blood of AMI patients compared with control group, and its expression level is negatively correlated with the severity of myocardial infarction. cSMARCA5 is expected to be a potential biomarker of AMI.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the long-non-coding RNA LINC00342 expression and the clinicopathological parameters of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and the biological function of LINC00342 in HNSCC cells. Methods: The expression level of LINC00342 in the HNSCC was analyzed using transcriptome sequencing data from TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database, and the expressions of LINC00342 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues (LSCC) of 27 patients in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were detected by transcriptome sequencing. The expression levels of LINC00342 in human embryonic lung diploid cells 2BS, HNSCC cell lines FD-LSC-1, CAL-27 and Detroit562 were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). RNAi (RNA interference) was used for LINC00342 knockdown in HNSCC cell lines, and the changes of malignant phenotype in the tumor cells after LINC00342 knockdown were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, flow cytometry, transwell invasion and migration assays. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to construct a LINC00342-centered competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network, and GO (Gene Ontology) enrichment analysis was performed. Statistical analysis and graphing were performed using SPSS 25.0 software and GraphPad Prism 6 software. Results: Mean LINC00342 levels in HNSCC tissues and TCGA database were higher than that in normal control tissues, but with no significantly statistical difference (P=0.522). LINC00342 expression levels were positively correlated with cervical lymph node metastasis and pathological grade in patients with HNSCC, with higher expression in male patients than in female patients (P<0.05). Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that mean expression level of LINC00342 in LSCC tissues of 27 patients was significantly higher than that in the paired adjacent normal mucosa tissues (t=1.56, P=0.036). LINC00342 expression was significantly upregulated in HNSCC cell lines FD-LSC-1, CAL-27 and Detroit562 (t-values of -12.17, -23.26 and -388.57, respectively; all P<0.001). Knockdown of LINC00342 by transfecting si-LINC00342-1 and si-LINC00342-2 inhibited HNSCC cell proliferation (t-values of 8.95 and 4.84, 2.70 and 5.55, 2.02 and 3.70, respectively), colony formation (t-values of 6.66 and 6.17, 7.38 and 11.65, 4.90 and 5.79, respectively), migration (t-values of 8.21 and 7.19, 5.76 and 6.46, 6.28 and 9.92, respectively) and invasion abilities (t-values of 9.29 and 10.25, 11.30 and 11.36, 8.02 and 8.66, respectively), but promoting apoptosis in cell lines FD-LSC-1 and CAL-27 (t-values of -2.21 and -5.83, -3.05 and -5.25 respectively) (all P-values<0.05). The LINC00342-centered ceRNA network consists of 10 downregulated microRNA and 647 upregulated mRNA nodes. GO analysis results indicated that LINC00342-regulated mRNAs were enriched in 22 biological processes, 32 molecular functions, and 12 cellular components. Conclusion: High level of LINC00342 is associated with the malignant progression of HNSCC. LINC00342 promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion, and antagonizes apoptosis of HNSCC cells, which serves as a potential molecular marker in HNSCC.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 52:318-327. [PMID: 35835682 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2022.06.017] [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: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the techniques and outcomes of superior thyroid artery perforator flaps (STAPF) for intraoral reconstruction and to compare them with those of the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap (SCMMF). The cases of 43 patients who underwent reconstruction with either a SCMMF or STAPF for the repair of a medium-sized intraoral defect, between January 2013 and December 2020, were reviewed retrospectively. Although both flaps are based on the superior thyroid artery, their specific harvesting techniques largely differ. All SCMMF (n = 23) were superiorly-based rotational flaps with myocutaneous designs. The STAPF cases (n = 20) included 18 septocutaneous flaps and two chimeric flaps. The flap size was larger in the STAPF group (P = 0.008), while incomplete level IIB dissection (oncological safety) was more frequent in the SCMMF group (P = 0.002). The flap necrosis rate was lower in the STAPF group (STAPF 15% vs SCMMF 34.8%, though this was not statistically significant). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the postoperative flap outcome (total flap necrosis vs flap survival; hazard ratio 27, 95% confidence interval 2.149-336.05; P = 0.001) and complications (excluding fistula) (hazard ratio 14, 95% confidence interval 1.314-142.767; P = 0.029) were associated with overall patient survival. Both speech (P < 0.001) and neck mobility (P < 0.001) functions were superior with STAPF reconstruction. Compared with the traditional SCMMF, the STAPF was found to have a lower necrosis rate with uncompromised oncological safety during harvesting. The STAPF is a good alternative for the repair of medium-sized head and neck defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Frailty has become an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes in critically ill patients. This study aimed to explore the predictive ability of two electronic medical record-based frailty assessment tools, the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) and Frailty Index based on physiological and laboratory tests (FI-lab), for long-term adverse prognosis in older critically ill survivors. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 9,082 critically ill survivors aged ≥ 65 years. MEASUREMENTS The HFRS and the 33-item FI-lab were constructed based on the published literature. Cox and logistic regression models assessed the association between frailty and 1-year mortality and post-discharge care needs. RESULTS 2,586 patients died within 1 year of follow-up. In fully adjusted models, frailty assessed using both the HFRS (per point, hazard ratio [HR] 1.06, 95% confidential interval [CI] 1.05-1.06; intermediate frailty risk, HR 2.00, 95% CI 1.78-2.25; high frailty risk, HR 3.06, 95% CI 2.68-3.50) and FI-lab (per 0.01 points, HR 1.03, 95% CI 1.03-1.03; intermediate frailty risk, HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.44-1.76; high frailty risk, HR 2.30, 95% CI 2.06-2.57) was associated with mortality. Addition of frailty indicators improved the predictive validity of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score for mortality (HFRS alone ∆ C-index 0.034; FI-lab alone ∆ C-index 0.016; HFRS and FI-lab combined ∆ C-index 0.042). The HFRS but not the FI-lab was associated with higher probability of post-discharge care needs. CONCLUSION Both the HFRS and FI-lab could independently predict 1-year mortality in older critically ill survivors. Adding the HFRS to the SOFA score model improved it more than adding the FI-lab. The greatest improvement was achieved when both frailty indicators were used together. These findings suggest that electronic medical record-based frailty assessment methods can be useful tools for predicting long-term outcomes in older critically ill patients.

Abstract
The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern γ-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with unprecedented sensitivity. γ-ray observations have long been one of the most powerful tools for dark matter searches, as, e.g., high-energy γ rays could be produced by the decays of heavy dark matter particles. In this Letter, we present the first dark matter analysis with LHAASO-KM2A, using the first 340 days of data from 1/2-KM2A and 230 days of data from 3/4-KM2A. Several regions of interest are used to search for a signal and account for the residual cosmic-ray background after γ/hadron separation. We find no excess of dark matter signals, and thus place some of the strongest γ-ray constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles with mass between 10^{5} and 10^{9} GeV. Our results with LHAASO are robust, and have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of steatotic donor livers on the safety of donors and the prognosis of donors and recipients in pediatric living donor liver transplantation. Methods: A total of 814 pediatric living donor liver transplantations were performed between January 2013 and December 2020 at Department of Pediatric Organ Transplantation,Tianjin First Central Hospital.The clinical data were collected and a retrospective study was conducted.The recipients and the donors were divided into non-steatotic donor liver group(n=733) and steatotic donor liver group(n=81) according to whether the donor graft had steatosis. The recipients and the donors in the steatotic donor liver group were further divided into mild and moderate steatosis groups based on the degree of liver steatosis.Among the donors of non-steatosis donor group,there were 307 males and 426 females,with a median age of 30 years(range:18 to 57 years);the recipients included 351 males and 382 females,with a median age of 7 months(range:4 month to 14 years).Among the donors of steatosis donor group,there were 41 males and 40 females,with a median age of 31 years(range:22 to 51 years);the recipients included 34 males and 47 females,with a median age of 8 months(range:5 months to 11 years).The donors and the recipients were followed up regularly by means of outpatient reexamination and questionnaire survey after operation.Statistical analysis of data between groups was performed using t-test,Wilcoxon rank-sum test,repeated measures ANOVA,χ2 test,or Fisher's exact test,respectively.The survival curves of recipients and grafts in different groups were created by Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rates of the steatotic donor liver group and the non-steatotic donor liver group were compared by Log-rank method. Results: There was no significant difference in the gender of donors in both groups (P=0.132).There were significant differences in the age and blood type distribution as well as body weight and body mass index(all P<0.05) between the two groups.No significant difference was seen in the recovery of liver function markers ALT and AST at 1,2,5 days and 1 month after operation (all P>0.05) between the two groups.The steatotic donor liver group showed longer operation time ((294±75) minutes vs. (264±81) minutes; t=3.149,P=0.002),increased incidence of postoperative biliary leakage (3.7%(3/81) vs. 0.5% (4/733); P=0.025) and delayed incision healing (7.4%(6/81) vs. 2.0%(15/733); P=0.013).There were no significant differences in gender,age,blood type distribution,height,weight and pediatric end-stage liver disease score of recipients between the two groups (all P>0.05).As compared to the non-steatotic donor liver group,the steatotic donor liver group showed similar levels of ALT, AST and total bilirubin within 2 weeks after operation(all P>0.05). The cumulative recipient survival rates in both groups were both 96.3%,the cumulative graft survival rates were 96.3% and 95.5%,respectively,without significant difference(both P>0.05). No statistical difference was observed in the incidence of major complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the recovery of liver function markers of donors and recipients between mild and moderate steatosis groups(all P>0.05).The cumulative recipient survival rates were both 95.9% and the cumulative graft survival rates were both 100% in mild and moderate steatosis groups,without significant difference(P=0.592). Conclusions: The application of mild to moderate steatotic donor livers in pediatric living donor liver transplantation may prolong the operation time of donors,increase the incidence of complications such as biliary leakage and delayed incision healing. But there is no significant impact of mild to moderate steatotic donor livers on the overall postoperative recovery of donors and recipients,and the prognosis is ideal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the molecular mechanism by which microRNA let-7g-3p regulates biological behaviors of bladder cancer cells. METHODS The expression levels of let-7g-3p in bladder cancer and adjacent tissues, normal bladder epithelial cells (HUC cells) and bladder cancer cells (T24, 5637 and EJ cells) were detected using qRT- PCR. T24 cells were transfected with let-7g-3p mimic or inhibitor, and the changes in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were examined. Transcriptome sequencing was carried out in cells overexpressing let-7g-3p, and the results of bioinformatics analysis, double luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT-PCR and Western blotting confirmed that HMGB2 gene was the target gene of let-7g-3p. The expression of HMGB2 was examined in HUC, T24, 5637 and EJ cells, and in cells with HMGB2 knockdown, the effect of let-7g-3p knockdown on the biological behaviors were observed. RESULTS qRT-qPCR confirmed that let-7g-3p expression was significantly lower in bladder cancer tissues and cells (P < 0.01). Overexpression of let-7g-3p inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis, while let-7g-3p knock-down produced the opposite effects. Bioinformatics and transcriptome sequencing results showed that HMGB2 was the key molecule that mediate the effect of let-7g-3p on bladder cancer cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay, qRT-PCR and Western blotting all confirmed that HMGB2 was negatively regulated by let-7g-3p (P < 0.01). Knocking down HMGB2 could partially reverse the effect of let-7g-3p knockdown on the biological behaviors of the bladder cancer cells. CONCLUSION The microRNA let-7g-3p can inhibit the biological behavior of bladder cancer cells by negatively regulating HMGB2 gene.
