Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to illustrate the role of NAA10 in aggravating the malignant progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by upregulating UPK1B. PATIENTS AND METHODS NAA10 levels in RCC tissues and paracancerous tissues were detected. Thereafter, the potential relationship between NAA10 level and clinical parameters of RCC patients was analyzed. After knockdown of NAA10, changes in proliferative potential of 786-O and Caki-1 cells were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation and 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Finally, the regulatory role of NAA10 in the downstream gene UPK1B and the involvement of UPK1B in the development of RCC were determined via rescue experiments. RESULTS NAA10 was upregulated in RCC tissues than paracancerous tissues. Tumor staging was much worse in RCC patients expressing a higher level of NAA10. Knockdown of NAA10 inhibited proliferative potential and downregulated UPK1B in RCC cells. Besides, NAA10 level was identified to be positively linked to UPK1B level in RCC tissues. At last, overexpression of UPK1B was able to abolish the inhibitory effect of silenced NAA10 on RCC proliferation. CONCLUSIONS NAA10 level is closely linked to tumor staging and poor prognosis in RCC patients. NAA10 aggravates the malignant progression of RCC by upregulating UPK1B and may be a specific biomarker in RCC.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is characterized by the presence of high invasion ability, hypoxia and chemoresistance. Previous studies reported that liver X receptor α (LXRα) was involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer cells. However, hypoxia-mediated EMT and the role of LXRα in gastric cancer remained elusive. In this study, we demonstrated that LXRa mRNA and protein levels were up-regulated by hypoxia treatment and LXRα played an important role in HIF-1 dimer induced-EMT. The putative HIF-1α binding site was identified in the LXRa promoter. Expression of LXRα and HIF-1α was significantly up-regulated in gastric cancer tissues compared to that in normal tissues. More importantly, we noticed that the expression of LXRα and HIF-1α was significantly correlated. Taken together, these data suggested that LXRα is regulated by the activity and accumulation of HIF-1α and contributes to EMT of gastric cancer cells. This suggests that targeting LXRα might be a potential approach for improving survival of gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics and citations of articles in National Medical Journal of China (NMJC) during 2016, and to discuss the academic level and quality of the journal. Methods: All the literature published in NMJC during 2016 were retrieved through the Chinese Medical Citation index, and the citation frequency data in China's core journals of science and technology from January 2017 to December 2018 was obtained through Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China. The citation status of articles published in NMJC was statistically analyzed by the method of literature metrology. The main indicators included the citation rate of articles published in each year, the citation frequency of all articles, the citation status of individual papers and authors, the regional and high-yield institution distribution of cited authors, and the main citation journals. Results: In 2016, a total of 962 articles were published in 22 columns of NMJC. The total number of published pages was 3 940, and the average number of articles was 4.09 pages. A total of 28 key topics have been published. The total citation was 2 077 times, with 2.16 times per paper. Among them, 322 papers were not cited, accounting for 33.47%. The maximum citation frequency of a single paper was 66 times. There were good citations in the columns of Guidelines, Epidemiology, New technology and methods, Clinical research and Editorial. Oncology, neurology/psychiatry, imaging/ultrasound/radiology, respiratory medicine and orthopedics accounted for a large part [40.43% (389 articles)]. Articles in neurosurgery, respiratory medicine, preventive medicine and gastrointestinal surgery were all cited with high frequency (all ≥2.75 times/article). A total of 483(50.21%) articles had obtained fund support, and the rate (68.12%) of them cited was slightly higher than that of articles without fund support (64.93%). A total of 23 articles were cited ≥10 times, and 16 first authors were cited ≥10 times. In addation, 26 corresponding authors were cited ≥10 times and 10 institutions were cited more than 15 times. The authors of the cited papers were distributed in 29 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government), and there were more articles and higher total citation frequency in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Tianjin. From 2017 to 2018, papers published in NMJC were cited 2 077 times by a total of 490 journals. Conclusions: The guidelines published in NMJC is highly cited. The editorial department should adjust the column setting timely, strengthen the planning of key topic selection and the solicitation and publicity of excellent papers, and further improve the influence of the magazine.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current trend of breast cancer neoadjuvant therapy and provide reference for the improvement of breast cancer clinical guideline in the future. Methods: Questionnaires of cross-sectional survey were sent to 110 hospitals (breast cancer surgery quantity surpassing 200) between July 2018 and September 2018. The stages and subtypes, therapeutic regimen, treatment assession, operation choice and preforming of patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy were recorded. Results: Neoadjuvant treatment has been performed in all of the 110 hospitals. The total number of breast patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy was about 14 550 (17.0% in surgical patients) in 2017. For all of the neoadjuvant patients, the proportion of stageⅡ patients was less than 30% in 81 hospitals, and the proportion of stage Ⅲ was more than 50% in 84 hospitals. The numbers of estrogen receptor (ER) (+ )/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) (-), ER (-)/HER-2 (+ ) and triple negative subtype breast cancer patients were 3 550 (24.4%), 6 024 (41.4%) and 4 991 (34.3%), respectively. Patient's scruples of relatively delayed operation and weak will of breast conservation after neoadjuvant therapy were the majority reasons for neoadjuvant therapy restriction. Anthracycline followed by taxane was the most usual neoadjuvant therapeutic regimens in 53.6% hospitals, and anthracycline plus taxane was the first choice in 42.7% hospitals. Chemotherapy with targeting therapy was recommended to HER-2 positive neoadjuvant patients in 80.9% hospitals. To assess treatment outcome of neoadjuvant treatment, 42.7% hospitals used MRI in more than 50% patients while the usage rate of MRI was less than 20% in 37.3% hospitals. The proportions of hospital using repeat-marking, tattoo and metal clip as the first method to identify the primary tumor region and lymph nodes were 60.0%, 29.1% and 10.9%, respectively. Breast-conservation rate after neoadjuvant therapy was less than 20% in 87.3% hospitals. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant therapy for breast cancer is widely performed in most hospitals in China, while the proportion of neoadjuvant treatment in patients with operable breast cancer is still low. Meanwhile, the idea of achieving de-escalation operation through neoadjuvant treatment is not promoted and the therapeutic evaluation method of neoadjuvant treatment needs further studies to improve.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is closely related to the incidence and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), but the mechanisms linking OSA and CAD are unclear. C1q/TNF-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is a novel adipokine that protects the heart against ischemic injury and ameliorates cardiac remodeling.
Purpose
We aimed to ascertain the clinical relevance of CTRP9 with OSA prevalence in patients with CAD.
Methods
From August 2016 to March 2019, consecutive eligible patients with CAD (n=154; angina pectoris, n=88; acute myocardial infarction [AMI], n=66) underwent cardiorespiratory polygraphy during hospitalization. OSA was defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 events h–1. Plasma CTRP9 concentrations were measured by ELISA method.
Results
OSA was present in 89 patients (57.8%). CTRP9 levels were significantly decreased in the OSA group than in the non-OSA group (4.7 [4.1–5.2] ng/mL vs. 4.9 [4.4–6.0] ng/mL, P=0.003). The difference between groups was only observed in patients with AMI (3.0 [2.3–4.9] vs. 4.5 [3.2–7.9], P=0.009), but not in patients with AP (5.0 [4.7–5.3] ng/mL vs. 5.1 [4.7–5.9] ng/mL, P=0.571) (Figure 1). Correlation analysis showed that CTRP9 levels were negatively correlated with AHI (r=−0.238, P=0.003) and oxygen desaturation index (r=−0.234, P=0.004), and positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.251, P=0.004) in all subjects. Multivariate analysis showed that male gender (OR 3.099, 95% CI 1.029–9.330, P=0.044), body mass index (OR 1.148, 95% CI 1.040–1.268, P=0.006), and CTRP9 levels (OR 0.726, 95% CI 0.592–0.890, P=0.002) were independently associated with the prevalence of OSA.
Conclusions
Plasma CTRP9 levels were independently related to the prevalence of OSA in patients with CAD, suggesting that CTRP9 might play a role in the pathogenesis of CAD exacerbated by OSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of micro ribonucleic acid 200c (miR-200c) on the apoptosis of placental trophoblasts in a rat model of preeclampsia (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS PE model in rats was established for extracting placental trophoblasts. Overexpression or knockdown of miR-200c was achieved by transfection of miR-200c mimics or inhibitor. Flow cytometry was carried out to detect the apoptotic rate of placental trophoblasts. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to detect the interaction of miR-200c with WNT1. Western blotting was applied to determine the changes of protein levels in placental trophoblasts. RESULTS The expression level of miR-200c in placental trophoblasts of PE group was significantly higher than that in control group. The apoptosis rate was (22.45 ± 2.62)%, (6.58 ± 1.28)%, and (9.57 ± 1.35)% in miR-200c mimic group, miR-200c inhibitor group, and control group, respectively, showing statistically significant differences. MiR-200c overexpression downregulated the expression level of anti-apoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), but upregulated expression levels of apoptotic proteins Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and active Caspase-3. MiR-200c suppressed WNT1 expression through the interaction with the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of WNT1. The expressions of WNT1 and β-catenin were up-regulated after miR-200c overexpression, which was reversed by the Wnt/β-catenin pathway activator. CONCLUSIONS MiR-200c is involved in the development and progression of PE through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationships between hematuria, clinicopathological features and renal outcomes in patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS This cohort study included 261 patients with DN. Participants were divided into two groups according to number of red blood cells per high-power field (RBC/hpf) in urine sediment: the hematuria (-) group (≤ 3 RBC/hpf) and the hematuria (+) group (> 3 RBC/hpf). Basic clinical parameters were measured at the time of renal biopsy; relationships between hematuria and clinicopathological features and renal outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Patients in the hematuria (+) group often had overt proteinuria. Interstitial inflammation was more severe in the hematuria (+) group than in the hematuria (-) group. Glomerular arteriolar hyalinosis, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy were comparable between groups. For patients with early DN (eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2), urinary RBC/hpf at baseline was positively correlated with glomerular classification, interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy scores and interstitial inflammation scores. In prognostic analysis, hematuria was associated with a higher risk of progression to end-stage renal disease. Hematuria remained an independent predictor after adjustment for confounding factors such as sex, age, duration of diabetes, serum glucose level, hypertension, cholesterol, eGFR and urine protein excretion, especially in patients with early DN and in male patients. CONCLUSION In this study, hematuria was associated with more severe renal pathologic lesions in patients with DN. The presence of hematuria could be an independent predictor of renal outcome in patients with early DN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) pathway controls appetite, balance, and pain sensitivity. While these functions are reflected in the on-target adverse events (AEs) observed with TRK inhibition, these AEs remain under-recognized, and pain upon drug withdrawal has not previously been reported. As TRK inhibitors are approved by multiple regulatory agencies for TRK or ROS1 fusion-positive cancers, characterizing these AEs and corresponding management strategies is crucial. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with advanced or unresectable solid tumors treated with a TRK inhibitor were retrospectively identified in a search of clinical databases. Among these patients, the frequency, severity, duration, and management outcomes of AEs including weight gain, dizziness or ataxia, and withdrawal pain were characterized. RESULTS Ninety-six patients with 15 unique cancer histologies treated with a TRK inhibitor were identified. Weight gain was observed in 53% [95% confidence interval (CI), 43%-62%] of patients and increased with time on TRK inhibition. Pharmacologic intervention, most commonly with glucagon-like peptide 1 analogs or metformin, appeared to result in stabilization or loss of weight. Dizziness, with or without ataxia, was observed in 41% (95% CI, 31%-51%) of patients with a median time to onset of 2 weeks (range, 3 days to 16 months). TRK inhibitor dose reduction was the most effective intervention for dizziness. Pain upon temporary or permanent TRK inhibitor discontinuation was observed in 35% (95% CI, 24%-46%) of patients; this was more common with longer TRK inhibitor use. TRK inhibitor reinitiation was the most effective intervention for withdrawal pain. CONCLUSIONS TRK inhibition-related AEs including weight gain, dizziness, and withdrawal pain occur in a substantial proportion of patients receiving TRK inhibitors. This safety profile is unique relative to other anticancer therapies and warrants careful monitoring. These on-target toxicities are manageable with pharmacologic intervention and dose modification.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of the initiation of sacubitril-valsartan (ARNI) therapy, as compared with ACEI therapy, after hemodynamic stabilization among patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods: A total of 199 hospitalized patients for ADHF in our department from January 2017 to June 2019 were included in this retrospective analysis. According to the medication early after hemodynamic stabilization, patients were divided into ARNI group (n=92) and ACEI group (n=107). Among the included patients, 61 patients with newly diagnosed heart failure at the time of admission were also divided into ARNI group (n=30) and ACEI group (n=31) according to the applied medication. Clinical baseline data and follow-up results of enrolled patients were collected through the electronic medical records at admission, outpatient and telephone follow-up. The primary effectiveness observation index was left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) measured by echocardiography; the secondary observation index was death from any causes and hospitalization for heart failure. Safety outcomes were the incidences of symptomatic hypotension, worsening renal function, hyperkalemia, and angioedema. Results: The clinical baseline characteristics were similar between ARNI group and ACEI group(all P>0.05). The duration of follow up was (15.2±6.5) months in all patients enrolled, (12.3±5.0) months in ARNI group, and (18.2±6.5) months in ACEI group. At the end of follow-up, prevalence of an absolute LVEF increase of more than 5% was 48.9% (45/92) in ANRI group and 25.2% (27/107) in ACEI group (P=0.001). Percent of LVEF increase to more than 50% was 17.4% (16/92) in ANRI group and 3.7% (4/107) in ACEI group (P=0.001). Percent of patients with more than 10 mm LVEDD reduction was 14.1% (13/92) in ANRI group and 3.7% (4/107) in ACEI group (P=0.009). All-cause mortality rate was 5.7% (5/88) in ARNI group and 15.3% (13/85) in ACEI group (P=0.038). Rate of re-hospitalization due to heart failure was 50% (46/92) in ARNI group and 71% (76/107) in ACEI group(P=0.002).The rates of symptomatic hypotension, worsening renal function, hyperkalemia, and angioedema were similar between ARNI group and ACEI group (all P>0.05). In patients with first diagnosed heart failure,percent of LVEF increase to more than 50% was 30% (9/30) in ANRI group and 6.5% (2/31) in ACEI group (P=0.017). Percent of more than 10 mm LVEDD reduction was 26.7%(8/30) in ANRI group and 3.2%(1/31) in ACEI group (P=0.012). Percent of an absolute LVEF increase of more than 5% was 53.3% (16/30) in ANRI group and 51.6% (16/31) in ACEI group (P=0.893). Re-hospitalization due to heart failure was 23.3% (7/30) in ARNI group and 73.3% (11/31) in ACEI group(P<0.01). Rate of all-cause death tended to be lower in patients receiving ARNI (3.4% (1/29)) as compared to patients receiving ACEI (13.0% (3/23), P=0.197). Conclusions: Among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction hospitalized for ADHF, the initiation of ARNI therapy after hemodynamic stabilization is associated with a more significant improvement of cardiac remodeling and pump function than ACEI therapy and satisfactory safety. In ADHF patients with first diagnosed heart failure, initiation of ARNI therapy after hemodynamic stabilization can more effectively improve cardiac remodeling and pump function than treatment with ACEI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been shown that vitrified-warmed oocytes exhibit autophagic activation. However, its regulatory molecular mechanism of autophagy needs to be clarified. OBJECTIVE To determine the role of signaling pathway of PI3K/Akt/mTOR in the regulation of autophagy in oocytes during vitrification-warming and IVM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Oocytes from mice were vitrified-warmed and IVM. The expressions of LC3-II, Beclin-1, PI3K, Akt, and mTOR protein were determined. Moreover, the ATP level, viability of vitrified-warmed oocytes, and their developmental potential were measured. RESULTS At 6 h of incubation of warmed oocytes, the LC3-II and Beclin-1 expressions were markedly up-regulated, whereas PI3K, Akt, and mTOR proteins expressions were significantly down-regulated. In addition, autophagy inhibition significantly decreased ATP level, viability of oocytes, and their developmental potential. CONCLUSION Autophagy plays a protective role in the oocytes during vitrification-warming and IVM. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway participated in regulating autophagy activity in oocyte during vitrification-warming and IVM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent evidence suggests that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play important roles in multiple diseases, including cancer. Circ-NT5C2 was reported to be up-regulated in osteosarcoma. However, the clinical significance of circ-NT5C2 remains largely unclear. The aim of the current study was to investigate the value of circ-NT5C2 for the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS the expression of circ-NT5C2 in osteosarcoma tissues and corresponding normal tissues were explored by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) experiments. The association of circ-NT5C2 expression with clinicopathological factors or the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients was also analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to analyze the association of circ-NT5C2 expression with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox-regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for poor prognosis. RESULTS Our data showed a significant increase of circ-NT5C2 expression in osteosarcoma tissues compared with adjacent normal bone tissues (p < 0.01). In addition, we found that the level of circ-NT5C2 in osteosarcoma was strongly correlated with clinical stage (p = 0.006) and distant metastasis (p = 0.001). Importantly, patients with high expression of circ-NT5C2 had a shorter OS (p = 0.006) and DFS (p = 0.001) than those with low expression of circ-NT5C2. Finally, Cox regression analyses showed that high circ-NT5C2 expression might be an independent prognostic parameter to predict poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that circ-NT5C2 is significantly up-regulated in osteosarcoma tissues. Circ-NT5C2 may represent a new marker of prognosis in osteosarcoma.
