Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atherosclerosis is the main cause underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) is a hydrophobic polyunsaturated fatty acid that exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the beneficial effects of DHA on CVD have been controversial likely due to variations in bioavailability after oral intake.
Purpose
In this study, we aim to investigate the potential inhibiting properties of liposomal DHA on atherosclerosis progression upon intravenous administration.
Methods
Four weeks old ApoE−/− and LDLr−/− mice were fed on athero-inducing high fat diet for 4 weeks and then randomly divided into two groups. The mice received either control liposomes (control group) or liposomes containing DHA (liposomal DHA treatment group) via intravenous injection, twice a week for 8 weeks while still being fed on high fat diet. At the experiment endpoint, whole aortas were collected for Oil Red O staining to quantify plaque area or for biochemical analysis. Plasma was collected for total cholesterol measurement and lipidomic analysis. Aortic roots were used for histological analysis.
Results
Upon intravenous injection, as shown by IVIS imaging, DHA-containing liposomes accumulated preferentially in the atherosclerotic plaques. Compared to control liposomes, liposomal DHA treatment reduced the atherosclerotic plaque area in both atherosclerosis animal models, with the total plaque area decreased by 35.8% in ApoE−/− mice, (p<0.001) and by 22.4% in LDLr−/− mice (p<0.05). Plaque composition analysis revealed that liposomal DHA treatment increased collagen content and reduced the number of macrophages and neutral lipid within the plaques, resulting in a lower plaque vulnerability index (1.095 for liposomal DHA treated group vs. 1.692 for control group, p<0.05). Among those plaque macrophages, as demonstrated by immunohistology, M2 (anti-inflammatory) macrophages accounted for 4.44% in liposomal DHA treated mice and 2.24% in control liposomes treated mice (p<0.05). In agreement with the histology results, higher mRNA expression levels of anti-inflammatory markers (IL-10, CD206 and CD163) and collagen type 1 were determined in aortic tissue after liposomal DHA treatment. Moreover, liposomal DHA did not change total cholesterol level in the blood but significantly lowered plasma levels of several species of triglycerides. In vitro experiment with bone marrow derived macrophages showed that liposomal DHA was able to suppress lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that incorporation of DHA in injectable liposomes is an effective way to increase the inhibitory effects of DHA on halting the progression of atherosclerosis via lowering circulating triglycerides, reducing plaque inflammation, and enhancing plaque stability. Intravenous administration of liposomal DHA may become an efficacious strategy for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the related factors and early predictors of persistent ectopic pregnancy (PEP) in patients with interstitial pregnancy after operation. Methods: The clinical data of patients with interstitial pregnancy who underwent surgery in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2013 to August 2021 were collected. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether PEP occurred (8 patients in PEP group and 124 patients in non-PEP group). Using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis, the basic data, surgical methods, the ratio of postoperative to preoperative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), the duration of when the serum β-hCG had decreased to normal after the operation were compared and analyzed to find the related factors of PEP after interstitial pregnancy surgery. The sensitivity and specificity of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG in predicting postoperative PEP were evaluated by drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Before PSM, the ages of patients in PEP group and non-PEP group were (30.0±4.0) and (32.4±5.0) years old, respectively, P>0.05. After PSM, 8 PEP patients in the study group and 29 patients in the control group were matched successfully, and the ages of the two groups were (30.0±4.0) and (30.1±3.2) years old, respectively, P>0.05. After PSM, there was no significant difference in gravidity, parity, menopausal days, preoperative β-hCG level and maximum diameter of lesions, all P>0.05. After PSM, the proportion of patients with maximum diameter ≤ 2.6 cm in PEP group (6/8) was significantly higher than that in control group (31.0%, 9/29), P=0.025. The median (Q1, Q3) of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG ratio was 52.9% (49.9%, 59.7%) in the PEP group, which was significantly higher than 31.5% (23.8%, 39.0%) in the control group (P=0.001); The median (Q1, Q3) of duration of when the serum β-hCG had decreased to normal after the operation in PEP group was 52.0 (34.8, 92.0) d, which was significantly higher than 24.0 (20.5, 31.0) d in control group (P<0.001). The ROC-Area Under Curve of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG ratio for predicting postoperative PEP in the two groups was 0.892 (95%CI: 0.725-1.000, P=0.001). The cut-off value for predicting PEP was 48.5%, where the diagnostic sensitivity was 87.5%, the specificity was 93.1%. Conclusions: In the operation of interstitial pregnancy, the maximum diameter of lesion ≤ 2.6 cm is a related factor for postoperative PEP. There was no significant difference in the risk of PEP between cornuotomy and cornectomy. The ratio that 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG/preoperative β-hCG ratio greater than 48.5% was a reference index for predicting postoperative PEP and guiding treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the characteristics and progress of the visual acuity and refractive state of schoolchildren in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province in China. Methods: Cohort study. Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Children's Hospital carried out a cohort study by collecting the visual acuity and refractive state of Grade 1-5 schoolchildren among 16 primary schools in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province in September 2020 and July 2021. Cycloplegic retinoscopy with eye drop which contained tropicamide (0.5%) and phenylephrine hydrochloride (0.5%) was performed in children with low vision(<1.0). Myopia was defined as the spherical equivalent (SE) ≤-0.5 D after cycloplegic retinoscopy. Measurement data was analyzed by t-test and enumeration data was analyzed by χ2 test. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: The 2 489 individuals with repeated tests in two years were included in the follow-up study, among whom the prevalence of myopia was 26.24%(653/2 489) in 2020, while 32.94% (820/2 489)respectively in 2021. The incidence of myopia in one school year from grades 1 to 5 was 11.19%(47/420), 5.44%(21/386), 6.39%(25/391), 11.52%(44/382) and 11.67%(30/257). The average SE of children in all grades in 2021 increased negatively from the previous year (Grade 1 to Grade 5 increased respectively: 0.40 D, 0.69 D, 0.62 D, 0.52 D and 0.37 D). Conclusions: The prevalence of myopia among schoolchildren in Huangzhong District, Xining City, Qinghai Province was relatively high. There were two peaks of myopia incidence in the first, fourth and fifth grades. Female, age, and the baseline of SE were the related influencing factors for myopia progression.

Abstract
A synthetic electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostic is used to interpret ECE signals from preset plasma equilibrium profiles, including magnetic field, electron density, and electron temperature. According to the simulation results, the electron temperature (Te) profile covering the harmonic overlap region can be obtained by receiving ECE signals at the high field side (HFS) of the HL-2M plasma. The third harmonic ECE at the low field side (LFS) cannot pass through the second harmonic resonance layer at the HFS unless the optical thickness (τ) of the second harmonic becomes gray (τ ≤ 2). In addition, the impact of the relativistic frequency down-shift has been evaluated and corrected. The measurable range of the HFS ECE has been calculated by scanning different parameters (electron density, temperature, and magnetic field). Higher plasma parameters allow a wider radial range of electron temperature measurements. The minimum inner measurable position can reach R = 120 cm (r/a = -0.89) when the product of core temperature (Te0) and density (ne0) is greater than 35 × 1019 keV m-3, which is extended by more than 30 cm inward compared with that of the LFS measurement. The HFS ECE will greatly improve the diagnostic ability of ECE systems on the HL-2M tokamak.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the the pregnancy outcome after laparoscopy treatment for subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities and the factors related with natural pregnancy.
Summary answer
The natural pregnancy rate is 46.58% after laparoscopy and patients' age, duration time of infertility and concurrent number of abnormalities are related with natural pregnancy.
What is known already
Subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities are a group of diseases that are characterized by subtle variations in tubal anatomy including fimbrial agglutination, tubal diverticula, accessory ostium, fimbrial phimosis, and accessory fallopian tube. The prevalence of subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities is high in infertile women.This group of diseases is highly related to endometriosis, especially its early stage, and may indicate fimbrial abnormalities in endometriosis.

This was a prospective cohort study conducted in the Reproductive Medicine Center of an university-affiliated teaching hospital from January 2017 to December 2018.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
234 patients with subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities were included. Laparoscopies were performed by four senior reproductive surgeons who were familiar with the diagnostic criteria and surgery treatment for subtle abnormalities. The fallopian tube abnormalities were corrected and endometriosis was treated by either electrical ablation for peritoneal lesions or endometrioma excision.The participants were followed up by phone every 12 months for pregnancy outcome until 36 months after surgery.
Main results and the role of chance
167 patients conceived after surgery(clinical pregnancy rate 71.37%). 109 patients conceived naturally (natural pregnancy rate 46.58%) and 59 patients conceived after in IVF(One case conceived naturally after live birth after IVF, four cases conceived naturally twice) . The average time for natural conception after surgery is 8.36±7.47 months. 51.4% of natural pregnancy occurred within 6 months and 79.8% occurred within 12 months.Among the 109 naturally conceived patients, there were 94 cases of live birth, 13 cases of natural abortion (natural abortion rate 11.92%) and 2 cases of ectopic pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy rate 1.83%). No preterm birth, multiple pregnancy or birth defects were reported in this group.The patient age(HR = 0.917,95%CI 0.870-0.917,P=0.001), duration of infertility(HR = 0.846,95%CI 0.740-0.966,P=0.014) and concurrent number of subtle abnormalities (HR = 0.636,95%CI 0.416-0.970,P=0.036) are the factors associated with natural pregnancy. The type of subtle abnormalities, type of infertility, body mess index, concurrent endometriosis, uterine cavity abnormalities and myoma are not related with natural pregnancy.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Not all kinds of subtle distal abnormalities are included such as paratubal cyst is excluded from the study. Not all the patients had the test of ovarian reserve such as AMH, antral follicle count and FSH level, so we couldn’t evaluate the relationship between ovarian reserve and natural pregnancy.
Wider implications of the findings
This is the largest clinical study that investigated the pregnancy outcome of subtle fallopian tube abnormalities in the infertile population.Laparoscopy surgery is an effective treatment for infertility patients with subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities, especially for the young, short duration time of infertility and ≤2 types of subtle abnormalities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Neuroendocrine (NE) phenotype contributes to 25 to 30% androgen deprivation resistant prostate cancer cases. Until now, this aggressive phenotype is untreatable. Therefore, it is urgent to study the molecular mechanism of NE development to reveal therapeutic strategies.
Methods: Data were downloaded from CCLE, cBioPortal, and GEO and analyzed by R. RT-qPCR, western-blot, Immunohistochemistry, and Immunofluorescence were used to assess gene expression.
Results: Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPCa) develops from prostate adenocarcinoma (AdPCa). We screened and identified the consensus differentially expressed genes across all public NEPCa transcriptome datasets. We found several HOX genes are included. HOXB13 is deceased but HOXB3, HOXD8 are increased in NEPCa. Based on the HOX code (total 39 HOX genes expression) theory, different cell lineages have distinct HOX codes and HOX codes can represent tissue identities, we established 42 HOX codes for 42 cells lineages including prostate through bioinformatics analysis of 1019 cancer cell lines transcriptome. We found NEPCa samples have changed prostatic HOX code. We also found YAP1, a previously characterized oncogene, is decreased in mRNA level in NEPCa than AdPCa. We confirmed the YAP1 protein is not detected in NEPCa human/mouse samples, PDX samples, and cell line samples (NCI-H660). We used YAP1 as a model. We hypothesized that the signaling involved in silencing YAP1 expression can also contribute to NE development. We first confirmed the loss of YAP1 expression in NEPCa cells is under epigenetic control by inducing YAP1 mRNA expression in primary mouse NEPCa cells through epigenetic inhibitors treatments (HDACs/DNA methyltransferase inhibitors). We characterized the YAP1 promoter through data mining chromatin ChIP-seq data and DNA methylation-seq data. We identified and cloned a 3kb DNA fragment across the YAP1 transcription start site as YAP1 regulatory element. We then built a YAP1-promoter-luciferase reporter using this fragment. We also generated a list of transcription factors that can bind the YAP1 regulatory element. We will then confirm the roles of these transcriptional factors in both regulating YAP1 and NE development. We also found YAP1 expression is co-expressed with many HOX genes in human samples. This suggested the potential regulatory function of HOX code to YAP1 expression. Conclusion: We proposed 2 critical events during NE development, changed prostatic HOX code and loss of YAP expression. We identified HOX code change as one of the potential regulatory mechanisms of YAP1. We then proposed to use YAP1 regulatory element as a model system to study the NE development mechanism.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Altered metabolism is considered a primary hallmark of tumorigenesis, as it can regulate important processes associated with proliferation, migration, and invasion. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a multifunctional endogenous phospholipid, plays a vital role in cellular homeostasis and malignant behavior of the cancer cells through G-protein coupled receptors. Although several signaling pathways have been reported as a critical mediator of gastric cancer, LPA-LPAR2 axis-mediated alteration of energy metabolism in gastric cancer progression has not been established yet. Therefore, our study focused on the molecular mechanism of LPA-LPAR2 axis-mediated alteration of mitochondrial bioenergetics during gastric cancer progression.
Method: TCGA database analysis was carried out to check the mRNA levels of the LPA receptors. Expression of LPA receptors was investigated in human gastric cancer samples by immunoblotting, RT-PCR, and immunohistochemical analysis. We elucidated the functional effects of LPA on gastric cancer by performing ECIS proliferation, migration assay, scratch assay, and transwell invasion assay in gastric cancer cells. To confirm the involvement of the specific LPA receptor on gastric cancer progression, we treated the cells with LPA1-3 receptor blocker (Ki16425) and LPA2 receptor-specific antagonist. Following LPA receptor blockade, we analyzed the glycolytic and mitochondrial functions by measuring extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) using a Seahorse XF24 analyzer.
Result: Our TCGA dataset analysis, LPA ELISA, and the Western blotting result showed the presence of LPA receptors in human gastric cancer tissues, specifically LPAR2 was robustly increased (P<0.001) in human gastric cancer tissue samples, and LPA level was significantly higher (P<0.001), suggesting a possible role of LPA in gastric cancer. LPA treatment increased proliferation, migration, and invasion activity in AGS and NCI-N87 gastric cancer cell lines. In contrast, LPA receptor antagonist Ki16425 abrogated the LPA-induced effect. Our seahorse analysis results showed that LPA treatment increased the OCR (P<0.001) and the ECAR (P<0.001), whereas LPAR2 specific receptor antagonists abrogated this effect (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Together, our results suggested that the LPA-LPAR2 axis mediates gastric cancer initiation and progression by increasing energy metabolism via oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Thus, targeting the LPAR2 receptor may give us a novel therapeutic approach to treat gastric cancer.

Abstract
BackgroundBehçet’s disease (BD) is a chronic systemic vasculitis characterized by the overactivation of neutrophils and macrophages. Exosomes are membrane-derived vesicles that mediate intercellular communications and neutrophil-derived exosomes account for the major portion of serum exosomes in BD. However, the role of neutrophil-derived exosomes in BD remains unknown.Objectives1) To investigate the production of exosomes by BD neutrophils; 2) To elucidate the regulation of macrophage by BD neutrophil-derived exosomes; 3) To explore the mechanism of immunoregulatory functions of BD neutrophil-derived exosomes.MethodsBD and healthy control (HC) neutrophil-derived exosomes were extracted and quantified. Human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) were stimulated with BD and HC neutrophil-derived exosomes, and TNF-α and IL-6 production were examined. Differently expressed miRNAs in BD neutrophil-derived exosomes were analyzed using miRNA sequencing. LPS-induced HMDM were treated with miRNA mimics or inhibitors, and TNF-α and IL-6 production were detected. miRNA was overexpressed in macrophages, and RNA sequencing was performed to analyze regulating pathways. Dual-luciferase assays were performed to confirm miRNA-mRNA interaction.ResultsBD neutrophils produced a significantly lower level of exosomes than HC ones. Both BD and HC neutrophil-derived exosomes suppressed TNF-α and IL-6 production by macrophages, but to a lesser extent by BD neutrophil-derived exosomes. Six downregulated miRNAs were presented in BD neutrophil-derived exosomes, including miR-122-5p. miR-122-5p mimics inhibited IL-6 and TNF-α production while miR-122-5p inhibitor promoted IL-6 and TNF-α production by HMDMs. Overexpression of miR-122-5p attenuated TLR4 and IFN-β signaling. miR-122-5p directly targeted 3’UTR of IRF5, the TF regulating TLR4 pathway and autocrine of IFN-β, and downregulated IRF5 expression confirmed by dual luciferase assay. Knocking down IRF5 dampened IL-6 and TNF-α production in HMDMs.Figure 1.(A) Decreased production of BD neutrophil-derived exosomes. (B) Reduced suppression of macrophage activation by BD neutrophil-derived exosomes. (C) Differentially expressed miRNAs (downregulated) in BD neutrophil-derived exosomes. (D) miR-122-5p suppressed TLR4 and JAK-STAT signaling in HMDM. (E) miR-122-5p inhibited activation of HMDM. (F) miR-122-5p inhibited IRF5 expression in HMDM.ConclusionOur findings suggested the reduced production and immunoregulatory function of BD neutrophil-derived exosomes, mediated by lower levels of miR-122-5p in neutrophil-derived exosomes. Impaired BD neutrophil-derived exosomes might be implicated in the overactivation of macrophages in BD.References[1]Kolonics, Ferenc et al.

Abstract
BackgroundAntibodies directed to the angiotensin receptor type 1 (AT1R) were found to be increased in patients with SSc ad they predict mortality and SSc complications (1, 2). In vitro studies suggested an involvement in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc).ObjectivesHere, we aim to determine the contribution and functions of AT1R autoantibodies (Abs) in vivo and in vitro as well as their capacity to recognize AT1R from different species.MethodsC57BL/6J mice were immunized with membrane-embedded human AT1R or empty membrane as control. Phenotypic properties of various organs were examined by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and TUNEL apoptosis assay. A monoclonal (m)AT1R Ab was generated based upon this mouse model by hybridoma technology and transferred into C57BL/6J mice. Mice deficient for CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, B cells and AT1Ra/b served as controls. In vitro, Abs responses towards AT1R were measured using rat cardiomyocytes, human epithelial cells, AT1R-transfected HEK293 cells and primary human monocytes.ResultsAT1R-immunized mice developed perivascular skin and lung inflammation, lymphocytic alveolitis, weak endothelial apoptosis and skin fibrosis, not present in controls or mice deficient for CD4+ T and B cells. The contribution of AT1R Abs to skin manifestations and interstitial lung disease was demonstrated by application of a mAT1R Ab, which induced skin and lung inflammation, not observed in the AT1Ra/b knockout mice. IgG from immunized mice containing AT1R Abs and/or the mAT1R Ab activated rat cardiomyocytes and human monocytes. Treatment of AT1R-transfected HEK293 cells with the mAT1R Ab enhanced AT1R signaling in the presence of the endogenous agonist Angiotensin II.ConclusionOur immunization strategy successfully induced AT1R Abs, contributing to inflammation and most likely to fibrosis via activation of AT1R. Therefore, AT1R Abs are valuable targets for future therapies in SSc and possibly other AT1R Ab-related diseases.References[1]Riemekasten, G. et al.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanisms of equol and its enantiomers on urethane-induced lung cancer in mice. METHODS A total of 120 5-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 8 groups: lung cancer tumor control group (CG), genistein control group (GCG), low dose racemic equol group (LEG), high dose racemic equol group (HEG), low dose R-equol group (LRE), high dose R-equol group (HRE), low dose S-equol group (LSE) and high dose S-equol group (HSE). Urethane was injected subcutaneously twice a week for 4 weeks to induce lung cancer and then the mice were fed for 4 months. The body weight and food intake of each group were measured and recorded weekly. After the mice were sacrificed, the blood, livers and lungs of the mice were collected. The incidence of lung cancer in each group was recorded. The concentration of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxydeoxygunosine (8-OHdG) were detected by the corresponding kits. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) in the livers. Between-group differences in body weight and food intake of the mice were compared using repeated measures ANOVA, and ANOVA for the differences between non-repeated measurements, with post hoc analysis using Tukey's method if there were between-group differences. Comparisons of categorical data were performed by chi-square test, and if there were differences between the groups, the Bonferroni method was used for pairwise comparison. RESULTS A total of 49 in the 120 mice developed lung cancer. The overall incidence of lung cancer was 40.8%. Compared with the control group, the incidence of lung cancers in each experimental group was lower, and the difference was statistically significant. The incidence of lung cancer in the high-dose experimental group was significantly lower than that in the low-dose experimental group. However, the incidence of lung cancer was similar in the three equol groups and the genistein group at the same dose. Compared with the control group, the high-dose experimental group had higher serum SOD concentration, lower MDA and 8-OHdG concentrations, and the differences were statistically significant. Western blotting analysis showed that the expression levels of Nrf2 protein in the experimental groups were higher than those in the control group except the low-dose racemic equol group, and the Nrf2 protein expression level in the high-dose equol groups was higher than that in the low-dose equol groups. CONCLUSION Racemic equol and its enantiomers mayinhibit lung carcinogenesis through antioxidant effects.

Abstract
Background No validated biomarkers currently exist for predicting the efficacy outcomes in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) treated with antiangiogenic therapy. We aimed to evaluate the association between treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) and efficacy outcomes of surufatinib in patients with advanced NET. Patients and methods We included patients with NET treated with surufatinib in two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III trials (SANET-p and SANET-ep) in this study. The main exposure was the presence of any of the TRAEs including hypertension, proteinuria, and hemorrhage in the first 4 weeks of surufatinib treatment. The primary outcome of the study was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). PFS outcomes were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method with the log-rank test. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated by using univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models. Blinded independent image review committee (BIIRC) assessments and 4-week landmark analysis were also performed as supportive evaluations. Results During the study period, a total of 242 patients treated with surufatinib were included in the analysis, and 164 (68%) patients had at least one of hypertension, proteinuria, and hemorrhage in the first 4 weeks of treatment. The presence of TRAEs in the first 4 weeks was associated with prolonged median PFS [11.1 versus 9.2 months; HR 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47-0.97; P = 0.036]. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, the presence of TRAEs was also significantly associated with longer PFS (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.44-0.97; P = 0.035). Similar results were obtained in the BIIRC assessments and 4-week landmark analysis. Conclusions Treatment-related hypertension, proteinuria, and hemorrhage could be potential biomarkers to predict antitumor efficacy of surufatinib in patients with advanced NET. Future prospective studies are needed to validate the findings. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.govNCT02589821; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02589821 and ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02588170; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02588170 Treatment-related hypertension, proteinuria, or hemorrhage is associated with longer survival in NETs. The association is confirmed by the BIIRC assessments and 4-week landmark analysis. TRAEs can be biomarkers to predict antitumor efficacy in patients with NET.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventionally, early treatment response to stereotactic radiotherapy in intracranial tumors is often determined by structural MR imaging. Tissue sodium concentration is altered by cellular integrity and energy status in cells. In this study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility of sodium MR imaging at 7T for the preliminary evaluation of radiotherapeutic efficacy for intracranial tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were collected from 16 patients (12 men and 4 women, 24-75 years of age) with 22 intracranial tumors who were treated with stereotactic radiation therapy using CyberKnife at our institution between December 1, 2016, and August 15, 2019. Sodium MR imaging was performed at 7T before and 48 hours, 1 week, and 1 month after CyberKnife radiation therapy. Tissue sodium concentration (TSC) was calculated and analyzed based on manually labeled regions of tumors. RESULTS Ultra-high-field sodium MR imaging clearly showed the intratumoral signal, which is significantly higher than that of normal tissue (t = 5.250, P <.001)., but the edema zone has some influence. The average TSC ratios of tumor to CSF in the 22 tumors, contralateral normal tissues, edema zones, frontal cortex, and frontal white matter were 0.66 (range, 0.23-1.5), 0.30 (range, 0.15-0.43), 0.58 (range, 0.25-1.21), 0.25 (range, 0.17-0.42), and 0.30 (range, 0.19-0.49), respectively. A total of 12 tumors in 8 patients were scanned at 48 hours, 1 week, and 1 month after treatment. The average TSC at 48 hours after treatment was 0.06 higher than that before treatment and began to decrease at 1 week. The TSC ratios of 10 continued to decline and 2 tumors increased at 1 month, respectively. Tumor volume decreased by 2.4%-99% after 3 months. CONCLUSIONS Changes in the TSC can be quantified by sodium MR imaging at 7T and used to detect radiobiologic alterations in intracranial tumors at early time points after CyberKnife radiation therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study assessed the effects of adding tislelizumab to first-line standard-of- care chemotherapy on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients in this open-label, multicenter, phase 3 RATIONALE 307 trial were randomized to one of the three arms: tislelizumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel (Arm A), tislelizumab plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (Arm B), or paclitaxel plus carboplatin (Arm C). HRQoL was measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Lung Cancer 13-item module (QLQ-LC13). Mean score change from baseline at Weeks 6 and 12 in the QLQ-C30's global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL), fatigue, and physical functioning scores and QLQ-LC13 lung cancer specific subscales were examined. Time to deterioration was estimated for the GHS/QoL score. RESULTS A total of 355 sq-NSCLC patients received at least one dose of study drug and completed at least one HRQoL assessment. The GHS/QoL scores improved in Arms A and B relative to Arm C at Weeks 6 and 12. Arms A and B also experienced a reduction in most lung cancer-specific symptoms relative to Arm C. Time to deterioration of GHS/QoL was not reached by any of the three arms. CONCLUSIONS The addition of tislelizumab to platinum-based chemotherapy is associated with improvements in sq-NSCLC patients' HRQoL, especially in GHS/QoL and most importantly in lung cancer-specific symptoms including coughing, dyspnea, and hemoptysis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteosarcopenia is defined as the concomitant occurrence of sarcopenia and osteoporosis/osteopenia. This study aimed to clarify whether osteosarcopenia implies a greater risk of fractures, mortality, and falls and to draw attention to osteosarcopenia. INTRODUCTION Osteosarcopenia, which is characterized by the co-existence of osteoporosis/osteopenia and sarcopenia, is one of the most challenging geriatric syndromes. However, the association between osteosarcopenia and the risk of falls, fractures, disability, and mortality is controversial. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, from their inception to March 18, 2021, for cohort studies on the relationship between osteosarcopenia and fractures, falls, and mortality. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. A pooled analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using fixed or random-effects models. RESULTS Eight cohort studies including 19,836 participants showed that osteosarcopenia significantly increased the risk of fracture (OR 2.46, 95% CI 1.83-3.30, Pheterogeneity = 0.006, I2 = 63.0%), three cohort studies involving 2601 participants indicated that osteosarcopenia significantly increased the risk of mortality (OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.23-2.26, Pheterogeneity = 0.214, I2 = 35.2%), and three cohort studies involving 3144 participants indicated that osteosarcopenia significantly increased the risk of falls (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.28-2.04, Pheterogeneity = 0.219, I2 = 34.1%). No publication bias existed among the studies regarding the association between osteosarcopenia and fractures. The findings were robust according to the subgroup and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS This pooled analysis demonstrated that osteosarcopenia significantly increased the risk of fractures, falls, and mortality, thus highlighting its relevance in daily life. Therefore, we suggest that elderly persons should be aware of the risks associated with osteosarcopenia.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the challenges and problems of the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases in Shanghai as a megacities. Methods: An imported case of cutaneous anthrax occurred in Shanghai on May 30, 2019. Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control & Prevention conducted an epidemiological investigation and treatment of the cases; after this case, the data of patients with cutaneous anthrax were collected, and an epidemiological study was conducted. Meanwhile, the wound and blood samples of the patient were collected for laboratory testing. Results: Of the seven wound samples of the patient, 6 were positive for the Bacillus anthracis nucleic acid test, and the double serological test results showed a 4-fold increase in the titer of anthrax antibodies. Shanghai CDC conducted an epidemiological investigation of the confirmed cases and observed its contacts. After treatment, the patients recovered, and no other issues appeared among the 19 contacts. Conclusions: Shanghai must strengthen the training of clinicians on emerging infectious diseases to achieve early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of imported infectious diseases and reduce the incidence, spread, and death of the diseases. At the same time, multi-department joint prevention and control are needed to prevent and control secondary cases.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) levels in breast milk of mothers delivering preterm infants and their effects on the early growth and development of infants. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, full-term and preterm newborns whose parents decided to breastfeed were recruited from Peking University Third Hospital between December 1, 2017 and November 30, 2018. The preterm infants were divided based on their gestational ages into extremely preterm (<28 weeks), very preterm (28-31+6 weeks) and moderate to late preterm (32-36+6 weeks) groups. Breast milk was collected from mothers at 7, 14, 28 and 120d postpartum. 368 breast milk samples were collected from 125 mothers in this study, including 54 mothers of full-term infants, 23 mothers of moderate to late preterm infants, 39 mothers of very preterm infants, and 9 mothers of extremely preterm infants. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to determine the concentration of 2'-fucosyllactose (2'FL), 3-fucosyllactose (3FL), 3'-sialyllactose (3'SL), A-tetrasaccharide (P1), lacto-N-tetraose (LNT), lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT), lacto-N-fucopentaose Ⅱ (LNFP-Ⅱ) and lacto-N-fucopentaose Ⅴ (LNFP-Ⅴ). Secretor status of mothers was defined as 2'-fucosyllactose (2'FL) concentration in colostrum and transitional milk greater than 200 μg/mL. Weight gain and the occurrence of allergic diseases of infants were collected at 120 d(4 months) postpartum. The chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for the comparison of categorical data between groups; Kruskal-Wallis test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used for comparison of continuous data between groups. Nemenyi test was used for multiple comparison. Results: 79.2% (99/125) of the mothers were secretor. There were no statistical differences between groups in the secretor status of mothers (χ²=1.31,P>0.05). The total concentration of HMOs peaked at 1-2 weeks postpartum. Compared to the preterm milk, the HMOs from the term milk was trending downwards at an earlier time. In the breast milk of secretor mothers on 28 d, total concentration of HMOs significant differed among the three groups of preterm milk and the term milk, with the median value of 4 587.09,4 615.25,5 277.44,5 476.03 μg/mL, respectively (Kruskal-Wallis χ²=8.1234,P=0.044). When analyzed by the median weight gain of the infants (low vs high weight gain) at 4 months postpartum, 2'FL was significantly lower in the high weight gain group at 7 d (1 818.04 μg/mL vs 2 181.67 μg/mL, W=1 386,P=0.018), while LNT & LNnT were significantly higher (1 182.36 μg/mL vs 1 053.62 μg/mL, W=816,P=0.044). The level of 3FL at 120 d was significantly affected by presence of allergic disease in infants, breast milk from mothers of infants with allergic disease had lower 3FL than those from mothers of infants without allergic disease (256.17 μg/mL vs 286.18 μg/mL, W=564,P=0.026). Conclusions: The overall profiles of HMOs in breast milk of mothers delivering preterm infants was basically the same as that of mothers delivering term infants; individual HMOs play a role in weight gain and the development of allergic diseases in preterm infants, but the mechanism is unclear and needs further study.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of partial substitution of corn silage (CS) with sweet sorghum silage (SS) in the diets of lactating dairy cows on dry matter (DM) intake, milk yield and composition, blood biochemistry, and ruminal fermentation and microbial community. Thirty mid-lactation Holstein dairy cows [mean ± standard deviation; 639 ± 42.0 kg of body weight; 112 ± 24.0 d in milk (DIM)] were assigned to 3 groups (n = 10/treatment) by considering parity, milk yield, and DIM. The cows were fed ad libitum total mixed rations containing 55% forage and 45% concentrate, with only the proportion of CS and SS varying in 3 treatments (DM basis): SS0 (0% substitution of CS), 40% CS and 0% SS; SS25 (25% substitution of CS), 30% CS and 10% SS; and SS50 (50% substitution of CS), 20% CS and 20% SS. Dry matter intake and milk protein concentration tended to linearly decrease with increasing proportion of SS in the diet. Yields of milk (mean ± standard deviation, 30.9 ± 1.12 kg/d), 4% fat-corrected milk (30.0 ± 0.81 kg/d), energy-corrected milk, milk protein, lactose, and total solids, concentrations of milk fat, lactose, somatic cell counts, and milk efficiency did not differ among diets. The concentrations in blood of urea nitrogen, phosphorus, aspartate aminotransferase, and malondialdehyde linearly increased with increasing SS proportion. Blood IgA decreased with increasing SS substitution rate, but blood IgG and IgM were not different among diets. Ruminal pH did not differ among diets, whereas ruminal NH3-N concentration quadratically changed such that it was greater for SS50 than for SS0 and SS25. Molar proportions of propionate and acetate to propionate ratio were less for SS25 than for SS0. Although the diversity and general ruminal microbial community structure were not altered by partially replacing CS with SS, the relative abundances of predominant bacteria were affected by diets at the phylum and genus levels. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were dominant phyla in the ruminal bacterial community for all diets, and their relative abundance linearly decreased and increased, respectively, with increasing SS substitution rate. Prevotella_1 and Ruminococcaceae_NK4A214_group were detected as the most and the second most abundant genera, with their relative abundance linearly increased and decreased, respectively, with increasing SS substitution rate. The relative abundance of Fibrobacter linearly increased with increasing dietary SS proportion, with greater abundance observed for SS25 and SS50 than for SS0. These results suggest that substitution of CS with SS altered the relative abundances of some predominant bacteria; however, these changes had little effect on ruminal fermentation and milk yield. Under the current experimental conditions, substituting up to 50% of CS with SS had no negative effects on milk yield, indicating that SS can partially replace CS in the diets of high-producing lactating dairy cows without adding extra grain, when diets are fed for a short time. As the effects of substituting CS with SS depend upon the chemical composition and digestibility of these silages and the nutrient requirements of the cows, additional grain may be required in some cases to compensate for the lower starch content of SS.

Abstract
A solid state terahertz interferometer has been developed on the recent commissioned HL-2M tokamak. It can work in a wide frequency region of 220-325 GHz, and the terahertz wave is generated from a low frequency phase locked voltage controlled oscillator with the frequency multiplying technique. A phase processor based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology is designed for the heterodyne interferometer, and it contributes to real-time display of electron density. To extract phase information, a novel numerical algorithm related to fast Fourier transform is written on the FPGA chip and enables one to obtain phase shift without being affected by amplitude variation induced by plasma absorption or frequency modulation from the outer electromagnetic environment. The interferometer achieves minimum measurable electron density in the order of 1016 m-3. With the plasma diagnosis, electron density and low frequency tearing mode have been measured during the first experimental campaign.
