Abstract
Limited biomarkers predicting prognosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) have been identified. The present study aims to assess potential laboratory prognostic factors of MPM. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 105 patients with MPM. The overall survival and prognostic factors were assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal cut-off values. The mean age of the 105 patients (62 men, 43 women) was 56.0 years. The major clinical presentations were dyspnea, cough and chest pain. The most common laboratory abnormalities were thrombocytosis and elevated monocyte count. Significant prognostic factors on univariate analysis were performance status (PS), serum albumin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), monocyte, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) and treatment strategy. Multivariate analysis showed PS, AST, monocyte, and treatment strategy were statistically significant (p<0.05). Higher AST level and monocyte count were both related to the presence of anemia (p=0.001 and 0.010, respectively) and higher ALP level (p=0.049 and 0.001, respectively). A higher AST level was also associated with higher alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and LDH level (p<0.05). A higher monocyte count was also correlated with male patients, higher white blood cell (WBC), platelet, neutrophil counts, lower red blood cell (RBC) and LMR counts (p<0.05). In conclusion, our data show that PS<2, normal AST level, lower monocyte count, and multimodality treatment are independent positive prognostic factors of MPM. The elevated AST and monocyte levels represent unfavorable prognostic biomarkers of MPM.

Abstract
We have found earlier that Tubastatin A (TubA), a selective inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), improves survival in a mouse model of lethal cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully established. This study sought to test the hypothesis that TubA could affect both lung and splenic functions. C57BL/6J mice were subjected to CLP, and randomized to receive either TubA (70 mg/kg) dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or DMSO alone, 1 h following CLP. Sham animals acted as control. Twenty-four hours later, lung tissue was harvested for pathological examination, and splenic tissue was harvested for bacterial colonization. In a parallel study, the spleen was collected 48 h following CLP, and single cell suspension was prepared. Splenocytes then underwent flow cytometry to analyze the immune cell population. RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with or without the presence of TubA (10 μM) at 37 °C for 3 h to assess the effect on macrophage phagocytosis. We found that acute lung injury secondary to lethal sepsis was attenuated by TubA. Treatment with TubA restored the percentage of B lymphocytes, and significantly increased percentages of innate immune cells and macrophages compared to the vehicle-treated CLP group. Moreover, TubA significantly decreased the bacterial load in the spleen, and improved the phagocytic ability of RAW264.7 murine macrophages in vitro. Such findings may help to explain the beneficial effects of TubA treatment in a model of lethal sepsis, as previously reported.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Tumor biology would reflect the prognosis and potentially the lead time and over-diagnosis rate of screen-detected small breast cancer [PMID: 28591529, 21452022 and 24888816]. Chinese women had earlier peak age of breast cancer incidence and used ultrasound as the primary screening imaging test on a hospital-basis [2016 SABCS P5-02-05, PMID: 27689334]. In our previous work, we showed that US detected non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC) had higher percentage of invasive and lymph node positive cancer, yet still could be regarded as low-risk cancer [PMID:27689334, 28412736]. This study was performed to investigate the prognostic impact of immunohistochemical subtypes and tumor size: the smaller the NPBC, the better the tumor biology and prognosis?
Methods: From January 2001 to December 2017, 6,423 consecutive asymptomatic women underwent mammography (MG) or ultrasound (US) guided biopsy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Among them, 159 T1a, 239 T1b, 377 T1c and 72 T2 NPBC were diagnosed and treated. The clinicopathological features, treatment choice, 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of the small NPBC (defined as≤1.0cm, T1a+b) were reviewed and compared with T1c and T2 NPBC. Prognostic factors of these subgroups of invasive NPBC were identified.
Results: Compared to big NPBC, the T1a+b small NPBC showed more lymph node negative (p<0.001) and low Ki67 (<14%, p<0.001) cancers with earlier TNM stage (p<0.001), more luminal A subtype (p=0.003) and significantly improved 10-year DFS and OS (p=0.004). T1c+T2 NPBC had more triple-negative subtype and received more chemotherapy (p<0.001) and targeted therapy (p=0.008). Breast conserving rate and the use of radiation and endocrine therapy showed no significant difference.

Conclusion: Small asymptomatic NPBCs were detected when small because they were good in terms of low Ki67 index, favorable subtype, tumor biology and long term prognosis. On the contrary, T1c and T2 NPBCs were screened when already big or even with positive nodes without clinical symptoms indicating that they might have larger chance of becoming interval cancers.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Some population-base studies have reported similar or improved survival for breast-conserving surgery (BCS) plus radiotherapy compared with mastectomy (Mx) in early breast cancer [PMID: 22373563, 27344114]. Among the screening detected early breast cancer, ultrasound (US) could detect more invasive non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC) with positive lymph nodes in hospital-based asymptomatic Chinese women, who could achieve comparable 10-year DFS and OS as mammography (MG)-detected NPBC [2016 SABCS P5-02-05, PMID: 27689334]. However, there is little data about the surgical outcomes of BCS verse Mx in the low-risk screening detected NPBC with US as the initial imaging test.
Methods: From 2001 to 2017, 6,423 consecutive asymptomatic women underwent mammography or ultrasound guided biopsy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Among them, 1130 NPBC including 914 US-detected and 216 MG-detected NPBC were diagnosed and treated. There were 349 (30.9%) patients underwent BCS including 286 (25.3%) patients received radiation therapy and 63 (5.6%) elderly patients (>70 years) who did not. The clinicopathological features, treatment choice, 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between breast conservingsurgery (BCS) versus mastectomy(Mx) in all NPBC and between the US-detected and MG-detected NPBC.
Result: Compared to those who received BCS, the 781 (69.1%) patients who underwent Mx had more cancers with relatively higher histologic grade (p=0.003), positive lymph node (18.8% vs 12.0%, p=0.005), ER-negative (22.5% vs 11.5%, p<0.001), PR-negative (29.6% vs 16.3, p<0.001), Her2-positive (16.3% vs 8.9%, p=0.001), and received chemotherapy (37.6% vs 28.7%, p=0.003). The breast conserving rates of US-NPBCwere higher than that of MG-NPBC (32.6% vs 23.6%, p=0.010), but the breast conserving rates were similar between ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive cancers. The 10-year DFS and OS were similar among BCS with radiation therapy, BCS without radiation therapy and Mx as well as among US-NPBC with BCS, US-NPBC with Mx, MG-NPBC with BCS and MG-NPBC with Mx. However, MG-NPBC with Mx had favorable 10-year DFS than that of MG-NPBC with BCS (p=0.041).

Conclusion: The 10-year DFS and OS of breast conserving surgery versus mastectomy were similar among all NPBC patients. As the current initial imaging test, US-detected NPBC patients would receive significantly more BCS compared to MG. There was no significant difference in surgical outcomes among BCS and Mx in US-detected NPBC. However, among MG-detected NPBC, patients with Mx reached a better DFS but a similar OS than those with BCS. The radiation therapy could be safely omitted in the elderly patients (>70 years) with NPBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Mammography (MG) screen-detected breast cancer has been established as low-risk in the western world. However, ultrasound (US) is currently the 'real-world' initial imaging test for breast cancer in China. In our previous work, we firstly showed with a multi-center randomized controlled trial that US could detect breast cancer with improved sensitivity and accuracy in high risk Chinese women [PMID: 25668012]. Then we demonstrated on a hospital-screening basis that US and MG detected non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC) had similar survival [2016 SABCS P5-02-05, PMID: 27689334]. This study was performed to test the hypothesis [Hypothesis would be published in the journal of Medical Hypothesis, 118 (2018):9-12] whether MG+/US- NPBC could be taken as ultra-low risk cancer which had more favorable clinical characteristics and survival than the regular low-risk NPBC.
Methods: From 2015-2017, 1,478 consecutive patients received biopsy with initial positive screening US (BI-RADS 4 and 5) at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Among them, 206 US+/MG- and 135 US+/MG+ NPBC were diagnosed. Meanwhile, 371 patients who had negative initial screening US (BI-RADS 1, 2 and 3) and positive additional MG (BI-RADS 4 and 5) underwent MG-guided biopsies, and 88 MG+/US- NPBC were diagnosed. Clinical characteristics, treatment and 3-year disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed and compared. Prognostic factors were identified.
Results: There was no significant difference in age, lymph node status, hormone receptor status, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, targeted-therapy among the three subgroups of NPBC. MG detected significantly more ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS, 59.1% vs 22.8% and 28.1%, p<0.001) whereas ultrasound diagnosed more invasive cancers (77.2% and 71.9% vs 40.9%, p<0.001), multifocal cancer (p=0.020) and patients who received breast-conserving surgery (p<0.001) and needed radiotherapy (P=0.001). No significant difference was found for 3-year DFS and 3-year OS were all 100%, although MG+/US- NPBC showed a trend of better DFS.

Conclusion: MG+/US- NPBC had satisfactory prognosis, higher percentage of DCIS and might be taken as 'ultra-low risk' cancer. Hence US had the potential of stratifying the screen-detected NPBC into regular low risk (US+/MG+ and US+/MG-) and ultra-low risk (MG+/US-).

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Ultrasound (US) is an effective initial screening test for breast cancer both in Caucasian and Chinese women [PMID: 26712110, 26715161, and 25668012]. The real-world modality of breast cancer screening in the China is hospital-based screening among asymptomatic self-referred women. In our previous study, we showed that US and mammography (MG) detected non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC) had similar long-term survival and that US detected more invasive NPBC with positive lymph node [2016 SABCS P5-02-05, PMID: 27689334]. This study was to investigate whether these findings would be still true with more NPBC cases included and longer follow-up in the consecutive hospital cohort.
Methods: From 2001 to 2017, 5,264 asymptomatic women with positive (BI-RADS 4 and 5) initial screening US underwent biopsies in PUMC Hospital, and 914 US-NPBC in 883 women were diagnosed. Meanwhile, women without dense breasts (defined as BI-RADS category C and D) also received screening MG after physical examination and US. There were 1,159 patients with positive (BI-RADS 4 and 5) MG and normal US (BI-RADS 1, 2 and 3) underwent MG-guided biopsies and 216 MG-NPBC were diagnosed in 214 women. The clinicopathological characteristics and 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were reviewed and compared between the US-NPBC and MG-NPBC. Prognostic factors of NPBC were identified by univariate and multivariate Cox analysis.
Result: Compared to MG, US could detect more invasive (81.2% vs 48.6%, p<0.001), lymph node positive (18.3% vs 10.2%, p<0.001), stage II+III (21.7% vs 12.5%, p<0.001) and low grade cancer (p=0.001).Between invasive US-NPBC and MG-NPBC, no significant difference was identified for lymph node status, TNM stage or subtype.US-NPBC received more breast conserving surgery (32.6% vs 24.1%, p<0.001) and chemotherapy (37.5% vs 23.6%, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in DFS or OS between US- vs MG-NPBC among ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive and all NPBC. For the US-NPBC, the DFS factors included TNM stage and Hormone receptor status whereas OS-predictors were pN and subtype.

Conclusion: Overall, US could detect more invasive NPBC patients with positive lymph node and advanced stage compared to MG, and screen invasive NPBC at similar TNM stage and subtype distribution as MG. US-NPBC patients received more breast conserving surgery and chemotherapy, and could achieve comparable 10-year DFS and OS as MG-detected NPBC. Hence US is justified in the real-world as the initial imaging modality in hospital-based screening Chinese women.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the levels of IL-22 in thymus damaged by γ-ray total body irradiation (TBI), and to study the role of IL-22 in T cell reconstitution after thymic injury induced by TBI. Methods: To induce thymic injury, mice were treated by sub-lethal TBI. Levels of intra-thymic and circulatory IL-22 were detected by using ELISA assay. Untreated mice were used as control. After receiving sub-lethal TBI, mice were intraperitoneally injected with PBS or recombinant mouse IL-22, which were marked as TBI+PBS or TBI+IL-22, respectively. Mice were monitored for counts of total thymic cells and circulatory white blood cells. Flow cytometry was applied to analyze percentages of thymic epithelial cells (TEC), thymocyte subsets and circulatory T cells. Real-time PCR assay was applied to analyze the mRNA expression levels of Foxn1, Ccl25, Aire and Dll4 in thymus. Results: ①Sub-lethal TBI treated mice expressed higher levels of intra-thymic and circulatory IL-22, compared with untreated ones (all P<0.05). ②After injection of recombinant IL-22, TBI+IL-22 mice had higher levels of intra-thymic IL-22 than TBI+PBS mice (all P<0.05). ③On day 14 after irradiation, real-time PCR assay showed that TBI+IL-22 mice had higher mRNA levels of Foxn1, Ccl25, Aire and Dll4 in thymus compared with TBI+PBS ones. Meanwhile, the TBI+IL-22 mice had higher counts of total thymic cells[(5.93±3.19)×10(6)/ml vs (1.42±0.46)×10(6)/ml, t=3.128, P=0.033] and circulatory white blood cells[(3.08±0.94)×10(6)/ml vs (1.43±0.30)×10(6)/ml, t=3.730, P=0.015] than those of TBI+PBS mice. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that TBI+IL-22 mice had higher counts of TEC and thymocytes than TBI+PBS mice on day 14 after irradiation (all P<0.05). On days 7 and 14 after irradiation, TBI+IL-22 mice had higher counts of circulatory white blood cells and T cells than TBI+PBS mice (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Sub-lethal TBI induces upregulation of intra-thymic IL-22, and injecting of recombinant IL-22 increases level of IL-22 in thymus. Injecting of recombinant IL-22 improves recovery of TEC and increases numbers of thymocyte subsets and circulatory T cell after thymic injury.

Abstract
Immune cell death caused by neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), referred to as NETosis, can contribute to the pathogenesis of endotoxemia and organ damage. Although the mechanisms by which infection induces NETosis and how that leads to organ dysfunction remain largely unknown, NET formation is often found following citrullination of histone H3 (CitH3) by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD). We hypothesized that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activation of PAD and subsequent CitH3-mediated NET formation increases endothelial permeability and pulmonary dysfunction and, therefore, that inhibition of PAD can mitigate damage and improve survival in lethal endotoxemia. Here, we showed that treatment with YW3-56, a PAD2/PAD4 inhibitor, significantly diminished PAD activation, blocked LPS-induced pulmonary vascular leakage, alleviated acute lung injury, and improved survival in a mouse model of lethal LPS-induced endotoxemia. We found CitH3 in the bloodstream 30 min after intraperitoneal injection of LPS (35 mg/kg) into mice. Additionally, CitH3 production was induced in cultured neutrophils exposed to LPS, and NETs derived from these LPS-treated neutrophils increased the permeability of endothelial cells. However, YW3-56 reduced CitH3 production and NET formation by neutrophils following LPS exposure. Moreover, treatment with YW3-56 decreased the levels of circulating CitH3 and abolished neutrophil activation and NET formation in the lungs of mice with endotoxemia. These data suggest a novel mechanism by which PAD-NET-CitH3 can play a pivotal role in pulmonary vascular dysfunction and the pathogenesis of lethal endotoxemia.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the application of vascular replacement technique with allogenic blood vessel in radical resection for pancreatic carcinoma. Methods: The clinical data of 33 patients with vascular invasion of pancreatic carcinoma who underwent radical resection from April 2013 to April 2017 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 14 males and 19 females with age of (62.5±10.6)years(ranging from 35 to 78 years). Vascular replacement technique with allogenic blood vessel was used on all patients who underwent radical resection for pancreatic carcinoma. The operation procedure was made according to the specific location of the carcinoma, and the allogenic blood vessel was selected according to the type of vascular invasion. The matching vessel was selected for replacement to the patient who was invaded only one vessel. And the "Y" type of iliac vein was selected for replacement to the patient who was invaded the confluence of portal vein, splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein. After the operation, the patients were followed up by telephone and outpatient review. Results: All of 33 patients were successfully completed the operations. There were 28 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with vascular replacement, and 5 patients underwent total pancreatectomy with vascular replacement. All the patients were confirmed pancreatic carcinoma and R0 resection according to the postoperative pathology. There were 16 patients with the carcinoma invasion the confluence of portal vein, splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein, 12 patients with the carcinoma invasion the superior mesenteric vein, and 5 patients with the carcinoma invasion the portal vein. There was no perioperative death in this group and no complications related to allogenic blood vessel. The incidence of postoperative complications was 18.2% (6/33), and the incidence of pancreatic fistula was 6.1% (2/33), all of which were biochemical fistula. There were 32 patients were followed up, and the follow-up rate was 96.9%. The median survival time was 14.6 months. The half-year, 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 75.6%, 37.6% and 27.4%. Conclusion: The application of vascular replacement technique with allogenic blood vessel for pancreatic carcinoma has a great significance for improving the R0 resection rate and the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is a common cause of death in the battlefield. Valproic acid (VPA) has been associated with improved outcomes in multiple models of trauma, when combined with isotonic fluid resuscitation. However, isotonic fluid administered in this setting is logistically impractical and may be associated with complications. In this study, we sought to evaluate the feasibility and immunologic impact of combining VPA treatment with low-volume hypertonic saline (HTS). In vivo: female Yorkshire swine were subjected to hemorrhage (40% total blood volume) and polytrauma (rib fracture and delayed liver injury). Animals were kept in shock for 30 minutes and resuscitated with (1) normal saline (NS, 3× hemorrhaged volume), (2) HTS (7.5% saline, 4 mL/kg), or (3) HTS + VPA (4 mg/kg; 150 mg/kg; n = 3/cohort). After 18 hours of observation, animals were euthanized and the lungs evaluated for acute injury and expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and caveolin-1 (Cav-1). In vitro: human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to anoxic conditions (5% CO2, 95% N2) for 16 hours in (1) normosmotic, (2) hyperosmotic (400 mOsm), or (3) hyperosmotic + VPA (4 mM) media. Immunohistochemistry and Western blots were performed to determine Cav-1 expression. Lungs from VPA-treated animals demonstrated decreased acute injury, MPO expression, and endothelial expression of Cav-1 when compared to lungs from animals resuscitated with NS or HTS alone. Similarly, HUVECs cultured in hyperosmotic media containing VPA demonstrated decreased expression of Cav-1. This study demonstrates that combined treatment with VPA and HTS is a viable strategy in hemorrhagic shock and polytrauma. Attenuation of lung injury following VPA treatment may be related to modulation of the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Current biomarkers for sepsis are limited by their non-specificity, short half-life, and insensitive response to therapy. Recently, we have demonstrated that citrullinated histone H3(CitH3) is released into the blood from neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs) in response to severe infection, and CitH3 may be a potential biomarker for sepsis. In the present study, we found that NET components were released in mouse models of both lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced shock (LPSS) and hemorrhagic shock (HS). To further quantify CitH3 in the NETs, we established a CitH3 specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Circulating CitH3 was found to be elevated only in LPSS but not in HS. Importantly, blood CitH3 was detected 30 minutes after LPS insult, and remained elevated for 24 hours (period of the highest mortality). Treatment of endotoxic mice with YW3-56, a peptidylarginine deiminase-2/4 inhibitor, significantly diminished levels of CitH3 in the blood. Interleukin-1β did not respond to LPS early, and interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 fluctuated although they responded to treatment. Procalcitonin reacted to LPS insult late. Compared to CitH3, these biomarkers were non-specifically induced in LPSS and HS. Collectively, our results demonstrate that YW3-56 protects animals from LPSS, and CitH3 is a reliable biomarker due to its early appearance, specificity, duration, and response to therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Purpose Because of its aggressive characteristics and poor prognosis, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has become a hot topic in cancer research. Chemotherapy is currently the only treatment for patients with TNBC. The transcription factor FOXC1 has been associated with TNBC prognosis, but little is known about its effect on chemosensitivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of FOXC1 on chemosensitivity. Methods A case–control study was performed on 25 TNBC patients who experienced relapse and/or metastasis. Another 25 patients without relapse or metastasis were randomly selected as controls. Medical records were reviewed for relevant information, and immunohistochemistry was performed to measure FOXC1 levels. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox analysis were used to analyze differences in disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The correlation of FOXC1 expression with chemosensitivity was analyzed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software, and a P value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results In 15 of 22 case patients, FOXC1 was overexpressed, whereas only 8 control patients exhibited FOXC1 overexpression (P < 0.05). FOXC1 expression had no correlation with pathological indicators. An anthracycline-based regimen was administered to 21 study patients and 23 control patients. FOXC1 expression was significantly associated with a worse DFS (HR 2.62, 95% CI 1.05–6.50, P = 0.038) but presented no correlation with OS (HR 2.53, 95% CI 0.76–8.40, P = 0.131) among these 44 patients. Conclusions This study shows that FOXC1 is correlated with chemosensitivity to anthracycline and could be used as an indicator of chemosensitivity in sporadic TNBC.

Abstract
Arrest of the cell cycle after DNA damage is believed to promote DNA repair. We aim to investigate the main factors affecting cell cycle arrest of lymphocytes in coke oven workers. A total of 600 workers were included in this study, and their urinary levels of four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) metabolites, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and cell cycle distribution were determined. Urinary PAH metabolites were significantly increased in coke oven workers ( p < 0.01). It was found that only urinary 2-hydroxynaphthalene and 1-hydroxypyrene showed significant positive linear dose–response effects on 8-OHdG in this study population ( ptrend = 0.025 and 0.017, respectively). The dose–response effect was also observed for smoking and drinking on 8-OHdG ( ptrend < 0.001 and 0.034, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that high levels of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene were associated with a significantly increased risk of S phase arrest (odds ratio (OR) = 1.32, p = 0.03), so as heavy alcohol drinking (OR = 1.31, p = 0.02). Drinking can significantly modify the effects of urinary 1-hydroxypyrene on S phase arrest, during co-exposure to both heavy drinking and median or high 1-hydroxypyrene levels (OR = 3.31, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.21–7.63 and OR = 2.56, 95% CI = 1.08–6.06, respectively). Our findings demonstrate that coke oven workers with heavy drinking will cause S phase arrest so as to repair more serious DNA damage.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Milestone studies showed that ultrasound (US) was an effective primary screening test for breast cancer both in the western world and in China [PMID: 26712110, 26715161, and 25668012]. Ultrasound has been officially designated to be the initial imaging test for breast cancer screening in Beijing and several other cities in China, due to its improved sensitivity in Chinese women who usually have denser breasts and develop breast cancer earlier than Caucasian counterparts. Study showed that it would take 40 years to screen each woman in the target age group once [PMID: 26808342].The mainstay modality of breast cancer screening in China is the hospital-based opportunistic screening among asymptomatic self-referred women. However, there is little data about the tumor biology and long-term survival of the US-detected non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC) in hospital-based Chinese population.
Methods: From January 2001 to December 2014, 3,786 asymptomatic women with positive (BI-RADS 4 and 5) initial screening US underwent biopsies in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and 572 NPBC in 556 women were diagnosed. Women without dense breasts (defined as BI-RADS category C and D) also received screening mammography (MG) after physical examination and ultrasound. 788 patients with positive (BI-RADS 4 and 5) mammogram (MG) and normal US (BI-RADS 1, 2 and 3) underwent MG-guided biopsies and another 127 NPBC were diagnosed in 126 women. The clinicopathological features, treatment choice, 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were reviewed and compared between the US-detected and MG-detected NPBC. Prognostic factors of NPBC were identified.
Results: Overall, US could detect more invasive NPBC (83.4% vs 54.3%, p<0.001), lymph node positive cancer (19.1% vs 10.2%, p<0.001)and multifocal cancer (19.2% vs 6.3%, p<0.001). In invasive NPBC, US detected more low grade cancer (21.4% vs 10.2%, p=0.001), multifocal cancer (20.7% vs 2.9%, p<0.001), Her2 negative cancer (77.6% vs 62.3%, p=0.001) and larger tumor (pT1c+pT2, 53.3% vs 37.6%, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in immunophenotype/subtype, treatment methods, DFS or OS between US- and MG-NPBC among ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive and all NPBC. For all NPBC and the US-NPBC, the common DFS-factors included pT, pN and p53 whereas OS-predictors were pN and immunophenotype/subtype.

Conclusion: Compared to MG, US detected more invasive NPBC with positive lymph node in hospital-based asymptomatic self-referred Chinese women, who could achieve comparable 10-year DFS and OS as MG-detected NPBC. US could serve as the feasible initial imaging modality in hospital-based opportunistic screening Chinese women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive tumor, with a high misdiagnosis rate and overall bleak prognosis. In 0.7% of all cases, the origin is the pericardium. METHODS The present study is a review of the literature published in recent decades focusing on the advances in clinical manifestations, radiological findings, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of malignant pericardial mesothelioma (MPM). RESULTS No clear relationship has been established between the etiologies and the development of MPM. Clinical symptoms and signs are nonspecific when present. The main presentations are chest pain and dyspnea. Imaging plays an important role in the detection, characterization, staging, and posttreatment follow-up. The definitive diagnosis is made on the basis of pathological findings. Chest radiography and echocardiography are common techniques used initially, but their roles are limited. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have an advantage in depicting the thickened pericardium, mediastinal lymph node, tumor, and the extension of adjacent structures. Surgery is the most important treatment modality and remains palliative in most cases, while the roles of chemo- and radiotherapy are unsatisfactory. CONCLUSION Clinical trials of malignant pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma remain important for MPM management. Multimodality treatment of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy is expected to have a role in the treatment of MPM.

Abstract
Cardiac tropnoin I (cTnI) plays a critical role in the regulation of diastolic function, and its low expression may result in cardiac diastolic dysfunction, which is the most common form of cardiovascular disorders in older adults. In this study, cTnI expression levels were determined in mice at various ages and cardiac function was measured and compared between young adult mice (3 and 10 months) and older mice (18 months). The data indicated that the cTnI levels reached a peak high in young adult hearts (3 months), but decreased in older hearts (18 months). Furthermore, the older hearts showed a significant diastolic dysfunction observed by P-V loop and echocardiography measurements. To further define the mechanism underlying the cTnI decrease in aging hearts, we tested DNA methylation and histone acetylation modifications of cTnI gene. We found that acetylation of histone near the promoter region of cTnI gene played an important role in regulation of cTnI expression in the heart at different ages. Our study indicates that epigenetic modification caused cTnI expression decrease is one of the possible causes that result in a reduced cTnI level and diastolic dysfunction in the older hearts.
