Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adrenergic receptors belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family and are one of the important targets of modern drug therapy. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a highly selective agonist of alpha2 receptor, a member of the adrenergic receptor family, which are widely found in immune tissues and which mediate the biological behaviour of the inflammatory immune system. This review mainly summarizes the role of DEX in immune tissue and inflammation-related diseases, to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the PUBMED, EMBASE, and Cochrane libraries separately to obtain published literature on DEX related to immune tissue and inflammatory diseases. The mesh (dexmedetomidine replaces DEX, microglia, astrocytes, spleen, marrow, lymph nodes) and their corresponding keywords used for the searches, and no time limit for retrieval. The latest search was conducted on July 1, 2022. RESULTS By reading a lot of relevant literature, we found that DEX reduces the inflammatory response of brain tissue by interfering with microglia and astrocytes. DEX can regulate the expression of CD40 and CD86 markers on the surface of splenocytes and reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by splenocytes. In addition, we found that DEX reduced inflammation-related diseases such as neuroinflammation, myocarditis, liver cirrhosis, osteoarthritis, upper respiratory tract infection, pancreatitis, spinal tuberculosis, pulpitis, colon inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis, and improved prognosis. CONCLUSIONS DEX has anti-inflammatory and improved prognosis in many inflammatory related diseases and is expected to become a targeted drug for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the diagnostic performance of radiomics features of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) in predicting extrathyroidal extension (ETE) status in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Patients and Methods 2D and 3D thyroid ultrasound images of 72 PTC patients confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were assigned to ETE and non-ETE. The regions of interest (ROIs) were obtained manually. From these images, a larger number of radiomic features were automatically extracted. Lastly, the diagnostic abilities of the radiomics models and a radiologist were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. We extracted 1693 texture features firstly. Results The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the radiologist was 0.65. For 2D US, the mean AUC of the three classifiers separately were: 0.744 for logistic regression (LR), 0.694 for multilayer perceptron (MLP), 0.733 for support vector machines (SVM). For 3D US they were 0.876 for LR, 0.825 for MLP, 0.867 for SVM. The diagnostic efficiency of the radiomics was better than radiologist. The LR model had favorable discriminate performance with higher area under the curve. Conclusion Radiomics based on US image had the potential to preoperatively predict ETE. Radiomics based on 3D US images presented more advantages over radiomics based on 2D US images and radiologist.

Abstract
Objective: To systematically summarize and evaluate the development of update and detailed recommendations of the existing global screening guidelines in high-risk population with a family history of colorectal cancer. Methods: The words "colorectal cancer", "screening", "guideline", "consensus", "recommendations" and "family history" in Chinese and English were used as MESH terms for literature retrieval, as well as entry terms. The retrieval was performed based on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science, as well as official websites. The languages of literatures were limited in Chinese and English. As of May 24, 2022, a total of 20 valid literatures had been retrieved. The basic information of the literatures and the recommendations of colorectal cancer screening for people with family history were collected and analyzed. Results: The analysis on the 20 literatures indicated that most countries/regions/institutions recommended age range of screening, screening modalities and intervals for people with family history of colorectal cancer. For the individuals who have one first-degree relative diagnosed with colorectal cancer before 60 years of age,most guidelines recommended the screening to be started at 40 years or 10 years earlier than the age when the youngest first-degree relative was diagnosed. The most commonly recommended screening modality was colonoscopy. Conclusions: Most current screening guidelines for high-risk people with family history of colorectal cancer recommend colonoscopy as the main modality. This review will provide reference for the update of screening strategies in high-risk people with family history of colorectal cancer in China, and further improve the practices of screening, early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the effects of menopausal stage, age and other associated risk factors on symptoms of anxiety and depression among women in a community in Beijing. Methods: This study was a community-based prospective cohort. Participants who had transitioned through natural menopause, completed two or more depressive and anxiety symptoms evaluations, aged 35 to 64 years, and did not use hormone therapy were selected from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital aging longitudinal cohort of women in midlife to this analysis. The primary outcome variables were depressive and anxiety symptoms, assessed by hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). The generalized estimation equation was used in the statistical analysis. Results: Followed up from 2006 to 2014, 430 women and 2 533 HADS assessments were retained in the cohort. Depressive symptoms were more common than anxiety symptoms during all menopausal stages. The incidences of depressive and anxiety symptoms were 14.5% (19/191) and 3.1% (4/191) in the premenopausal -3 stage, respectively. The incidence increased in both menopausal transition and postmenopausal stage, with the highest incidence in the +1c stage [20.6% (155/751) and 8.8% (66/751), respectively]. However, these differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Depressive symptoms were highest in the ≥60-<65 age group [20.8% (74/355)], and anxiety symptoms were highest in the ≥50-<55 age group [8.2% (62/754)]; but there were no statistical significances between different age groups and depressive and anxiety symptoms (all P>0.05). Multivariable analysis showed that high body mass index, low education status, and poor health status were independently associated with depressive symptoms (all P<0.05), and that poor health status, trouble falling asleep, and early awakening were independently associated with anxiety symptoms (all P<0.01). Conclusions: Depressive and anxiety symptoms are more common during menopausal transition and postmenopausal stage compared with reproductive stage. Depressive symptoms are more common than anxiety symptoms. To screen and assess depressive and anxiety symptoms in perimenopausal women is essential, especially for women with high risk factors.

Abstract
The restricted mean survival time measure has gained a lot of interests for designing and analyzing oncology trials with time-to-event endpoints due to its intuitive clinical interpretation and potentially high statistical power. In the non-inferiority trial literature, restricted mean survival time has been used as an alternative measure for reanalyzing a completed trial, which was originally designed and analyzed based on traditional proportional hazard model. However, the reanalysis procedure requires a conversion from the non-inferiority margin measured in hazard ratio to a non-inferiority margin measured by restricted mean survival time difference. An existing conversion method assumes a Weibull distribution for the population survival time of the historical active control group under the proportional hazard assumption using data from a single trial. In this article, we develop a methodology for non-inferiority margin conversion when data from multiple historical active control studies are available, and introduce a Kaplan-Meier estimator-based method for the non-inferiority margin conversion to relax the parametric assumption. We report extensive simulation studies to examine the performances of proposed methods under the Weibull data generative models and a piecewise-exponential data generative model that mimic the tumor recurrence and survival characteristics of advanced colon cancer. This work is motivated to achieve non-inferiority margin conversion, using historical patient-level data from a large colon cancer clinical database, to reanalyze an internationally collaborated non-inferiority study that evaluates 6-month versus 3-month duration of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III colon cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of interference of P2X4 receptor expression in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) on invasion and migration of glioma cells. METHODS C57BL/6 mouse models bearing gliomas in the caudate nucleus were examined for glioma pathology with HE staining and expressions of Iba-1 and P2X4 receptor with immunofluorescence assay. RAW264.7 cells were induced into TAMs using conditioned medium from GL261 cells, and the changes in mRNA expressions of macrophage polarization-related markers and the mRNA and protein expressions of P2X4 receptor were detected with RT-qPCR and Western blotting. The effect of siRNA-mediated P2X4 interference on IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA and protein expressions in the TAMs was detected with RT-qPCR and Western blotting. GL261 cells were cultured in the conditioned medium from the transfected TAMs, and the invasion and migration abilities of the cells were assessed with Transwell invasion and migration experiment. RESULTS The glioma tissues from the tumor-bearing mice showed a significantly greater number of Iba-1-positive cells, where an obviously increased P2X4 receptor expression was detected (P=0.001), than the brain tissues of the control mice (P < 0.001). The M2 macrophage markers (Arg-1 and IL-10) and M1 macrophage markers (iNOS and TNF-α) were both significantly up-regulated in the TAMs derived from RAW264.7 cells (all P < 0.01), but the up-regulation of the M2 macrophage markers was more prominent; the expression levels of P2X4 receptor protein and mRNA were both increased in the TAMs (P < 0.05). Interference of P2X4 receptor expression significantly lowered the mRNA(P < 0.01)and protein (P < 0.01, P < 0.05)expression levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the TAMs and obviously inhibited the ability of the TAMs to promote invasion and migration of the glioma cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Interference of P2X4 receptor in the TAMs suppresses the migration and invasion of glioma cells possibly by lowering the expressions of IL-1β and IL-18.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features of pediatric diffuse midline glioma with H3K27 alteration and to analyze their relationship with prognosis. Methods: Forty-one cases of childhood diffuse midline glioma with H3K27 alteration were collected at Children's Hospital of Fudan University (39 cases) and Xi'an Children's Hospital (2 cases), from July 2016 to July 2020. The clinical manifestations, imaging data, histopathology, immunohistochemical phenotype and molecular genetics features, tumor size, site and histological grading were evaluated. Results: Among the 41 cases, 21 were males and 20 females, the age of onset was 3-14 years, the average and median age was 7.6 years and 7.0 years, respectively. The tumor sites were brain stem (n=36) and other locations (n=5). The clinical manifestations were dizziness, gait disturbance, and limb weakness, etc. The MRI features were variable. The histology varied from low-grade to high-grade glioma with neuron differentiation. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells expressed H3K27M, GFAP, and Olig2. Genetic study showed that 76% (16/21) of tumors had H3F3A gene mutation, mostly accompanied by TP53 (62%, 13/21) missense mutation; five tumors (24%, 5/21) had HIST1H3B gene mutation, accompanied by missense mutations in ACVR1 and PI3K pathway-related gene PIK3CA (4/5) and PIK3R1 (1/5) mutations. The prognosis was dismal with only one alive and others died. The average and median overall survival time was 7 months and 4 months, respectively. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that age, tumor location, radiologically maximum tumor diameter, histologic grading, and surgical methods were not significantly associated with overall survival rate (P>0.05). Conclusions: Pediatric diffuse midline gliomas with H3K27 alteration have unique clinicopathological and genetic characteristics. The prognosis is poor. The tumor location and histopathologic grading are not related to prognosis. New specific drugs and comprehensive treatment are needed to improve the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While three-dimensional susceptibility-weighted imaging has been widely suggested for intracranial vessel imaging, hemorrhage detection, and other neuro-diseases, its relatively long scan time has necessitated the clinical verification of recent progresses of fast imaging techniques. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of brain SWI accelerated by compressed sensitivity encoding to identify the optimal acceleration factors for clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-nine subjects, prospectively enrolled from 5 centers, underwent 8 brain SWI sequences: 5 different folds of compressed sensitivity encoding acceleration (CS2, CS4, CS6, CS8, and CS10), 2 different folds of sensitivity encoding acceleration (SF2 and SF4), and 1 without acceleration. Images were assessed quantitatively on both the SNR of the red nucleus and its contrast ratio to the CSF and, subjectively, with scoring on overall image quality; visibility of the substantia nigra-red nucleus, basilar artery, and internal cerebral vein; and diagnostic confidence of the cerebral microbleeds and other intracranial diseases. RESULTS Compressed sensitivity encoding showed a promising ability to reduce the acquisition time (from 202 to 41 seconds) of SWI while increasing the acceleration factor from 2 to 10, though at the cost of decreasing the SNR, contrast ratio, and the scores of visual assessments. The visibility of the substantia nigra-red nucleus and internal cerebral vein became unacceptable in CS6 to CS10. The basilar artery was well-distinguished, and diseases including cerebral microbleeds, cavernous angiomas, intracranial gliomas, venous malformations, and subacute hemorrhage were well-diagnosed in all compressed sensitivity encoding sequences. CONCLUSIONS Compressed sensitivity encoding factor 4 is recommended in routine practice. Compressed sensitivity encoding factor 10 is potentially a fast surrogate for distinguishing the basilar artery and detecting susceptibility-related abnormalities (eg, cerebral microbleeds, cavernous angiomas, gliomas, and venous malformation) at the sacrifice of visualization of the substantia nigra-red nucleus and internal cerebral vein.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) combined with alveolar hypoventilation. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who were diagnosed as OSAHS by polysomnography (PSG) and underwent daytime awake transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) monitoring from November 2019 to February 2021 at the Sleep Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. A total of 177 patients were enrolled in the analysis, including 167 males and 10 females, aged (40±8) years old. Patients with daytime awake PtcCO2>45 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) were diagnosed as daytime alveolar hypoventilation, with which participants were divided into the daytime alveolar hypoventilation group and non-daytime alveolar hypoventilation group. Body mass index (BMI) cut-off value predicting daytime alveolar hypoventilation was calculated and the patients were divided into the high BMI group and low BMI group. The continuous nocturnal PtcCO2 data was available for a subset of 128 patients, and the patients were divided into two groups according the daytime alveolar hypoventilation or not. Across-group differences were compared, respectively. Results: Compared with the non-daytime alveolar hypoventilation group (n=125), the BMI [27.57 (26.55, 30.33) vs 26.60 (25.06, 28.09) kg/m2], Epworth sleepiness score(ESS) score [9.50 (6.25, 12.00) vs 7.00 (4.00, 10.75)], higher oxygen desaturation index (ODI) [38.00 (15.23, 64.93) vs 26.80 (11.30, 44.30) events/h] and percentage of total time with oxygen saturation level<90% (TS90%) [11.24% (1.88%, 32.44%) vs 4.35% (0.72%, 9.87%)] of the daytime alveolar hypoventilation group(n=52) were significantly higher (P<0.05), and lowest arterial oxygen saturation (LSaO2) [74.50% (60.25%, 82.00%) vs 79.00% (73.00%, 84.50%)], mean arterial oxygen saturation (MSaO2) [94.00% (91.00%, 95.00%) vs 95.00% (94.00%, 96.00%)] were significantly lower (P<0.05). The BMI cut-off value for predicting daytime alveolar hypoventilation was 27.04 kg/m2. Of the 177 enrolled patients, 90 were in the high BMI group and 87 were in low group. Compared with the low BMI group, the proportion of daytime sleepiness, the ESS score, the prevalence of hypertension, AHI and daytime awake PtcCO2 in the high BMI group were significantly higher (P<0.05). Among the subset of 128 patients with nocturnal PtcCO2 data available, the BMI, daytime PtcCO2 level, the nocturnal CO2 level and the prevalence of sleep related alveolar hypoventilation in the daytime alveolar hypoventilation group (n=40) were significantly higher than those in the non-daytime alveolar hypoventilation group (n=88) (P<0.05). Conclusions: The OSAHS patients with alveolar hypoventilation have higher BMI and more severe nocturnal hypoxia. OSAHS patients with BMI>27.04 kg/m2 are more likely to develop sleep related alveolar hypoventilation disorder.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a non‐instrumentation technique to disinfect root canals infected by a human dental plaque‐derived multispecies biofilm. Methodology Twenty‐two mandibular incisors were accessed, autoclaved and inoculated with dental plaque. The Center for Disease Control biofilm reactor was used to promote contamination of the root canal space. In the conventional technique (control), the specimens were instrumented until size 35/04 and irrigated with 6% NaOCl. In the non‐instrumentation technique, a glide path was established using K‐files size 10–20 and specimens were immediately cleaned with the GentleWave System. Samples were obtained for culture and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Differences in abundances of genera were evaluated using Kruskal–Wallis test, and differences in alpha diversity were compared using anova. Alpha and beta diversity indices were calculated using mothur. The Shannon and Chao1 indices were used to measure alpha diversity. The Bray–Curtis dissimilarity was used to measure beta diversity. Differences in community composition were evaluated using analysis of similarity with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Results The total numbers of reads in biological samples ranged from 126 to 45 286. Significantly fewer reads were obtained from samples following cleaning by either method (p < .0001), and significantly fewer reads were obtained in post‐cleaning samples following conventional versus non‐instrumentation cleaning regiment (p = .002). Communities in pre‐treatment samples were similar in both groups; however, significantly greater relative abundances of Streptococcus, Veillonella and Campylobacter were observed following cleaning using non‐instrumentation technique (Kruskal–Wallis p = .009, .033, and .001, respectively). Whilst no significant differences were observed in Shannon alpha diversity, the Chao1 index was significantly lower in post‐cleaning samples. Conclusions Significant shifts in composition were observed following cleaning by using both regimens, but the impact of this change was greater following a conventional cleaning technique.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between the levels of serum soluble CD137 (sCD137) and membrane-bound CD137 (mCD137) and the occurrence of ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients with acute STEMI, who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the Department of Cardiology, Jiangsu University Affiliated Hospital from May 2019 to September 2020, were enrolled. According to the absence or presence of IRI, patients were divided into IRI group and non-IRI group. Clinical data of the two groups were collected and compared. sCD137 level was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Ficoll density gradient centrifugation was used to separate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and RNA was extracted, mCD137 mRNA expression level was detected by PCR. Serum sCD137 levels and the mCD137 mRNA levels of PBMC before, after PCI and 24 hours after PCI were compared. The correlation between serum sCD137 level, PBMC mCD137 mRNA level and clinical indicators was observed. The univariate and multivariate logistic binary regression analyses were performed to evaluate the related risk factors of IRI. ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of defined parameters for IRI. Results: A total of 112 STEMI patients were enrolled. There were 42 cases (of which 33 were males (78.6%), mean age was (58.6±12.7) years) in non-IRI group and 70 cases(of which 56 were males (80.0%), mean age was (64.5±11.6) years) in IRI group. Compared with the non-IRI group, patients in the IRI group had longer hospital stays, older age, lower rates of obesity, lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure at admission, higher proportion of the the right coronary artery as culprit vessel, lower rate of the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin-Ⅱ receptor blocker/angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, higher levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine, lower glomerular filtration rate, lower triglycerides, higher D-dimer and B-type natriuretic peptidemax, higher proportion of Killip grade Ⅳ and cardiovascular adverse events (all P<0.05). sCD137 levels at the preoperative, postoperative and 24 hours after surgery were significantly higher in the IRI group than in the non-IRI group, while the mRNA levels of CD137 was similar between the two groups. The level of sCD137 in patients after PCI was lower than that before operation, the level of mCD137 mRNA was higher than that before operation (P<0.05). Serum sCD137 levels were positively correlated with hospitalization days, age, B-type natriuretic peptide, creatinine, ischemic time, C Reactive protein (CRP) and CRP/albumin (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with body mass index, glomerular filtration rate and albumin (P<0.05). The mCD137 mRNA expression level of PBMC was positively correlated with hospital stay, age, B-type natriuretic peptide, ischemic time, CRP and CRP/albumin (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with body mass index, glomerular filtration rate, albumin (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher sCD137 (OR=1.038, 95%CI: 1.009-1.069), aspartate aminotransferase, (OR=1.029, 95%CI: 1.009-1.050) and lower albumin (OR=0.829, 95%CI: 0.703-0.829) before surgery were independent risk factors of IRI (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of sCD137 was 0.672 (95%CI: 0.574-0.770, P=0.002) for the prediction of IRI, the best cut-off value was 28.43×10-3 μg/L with sensitivity of 95.2% and specificity of 48.6%. Conclusion: The significantly increased level of sCD137 in acute STEMI patients is positively correlated with reperfusion injury, which is an independent risk factor of IRI and may be related to the prognosis of patients with IRI.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is the main malignant cancer in China. In 2015, the incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer were 17.87 per 100 000 and 13.68 per 100 000, respectively, ranking 6th and 4th in the incidence and death. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the main pathological type of esophageal cancer, accounting for 86.3% of new cases. ESCC's pathogenesis is still not clear and its related risk factors remain to be explored. There are no detection biomarkers that can be widely applied in the whole country nowadays. In order to provide a scientific basis for exploring the pathogenesis of ESCC and improve screening technology, this paper summarizes the research status of various risk factors and potential biomarkers of ESCC.

Abstract
1. This study investigated the effects of dietary betaine supplementation on growth performance, meat quality, muscle fatty acid composition and antioxidant ability in slow-growing broiler chickens.2. In total, 400, one-day-old female Xueshan broiler chicks were randomly divided into five groups with eight replicates of ten chickens each for 102 d. Broilers were fed a basal diet supplemented with 0, 125, 250, 500 or 1,000 mg/kg betaine.3. Broilers fed betaine had better feed conversion efficiency and weight gain (P < 0.05) and increased meat redness and yellowness 24 h after slaughter. Supplementation linearly decreased cooking loss and drip loss from breast muscle (P < 0.05). Muscular resilience was improved and tenderness increased (P < 0.05). Intra-muscular saturated fatty acids decreased, while total monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids increased (P < 0.05). Betaine increased activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and total superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) level, ratio of reduced glutathione/oxidised glutathione, and activity of scavenging hydroxyl radicals. It increased the activity of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in the breast muscle (P < 0.05). Moreover, supplementation up-regulated (P < 0.05) mRNA expression levels of blood and antioxidant markers.4. In conclusion, 1000 mg/kg betaine can be recommended as a supplement for slow-growing, Xueshan chicken.

Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) is required for normal postnatal development in poultry; however, no immunoassay exists to assess its levels in geese plasma, hindering the study of endocrine regulation in this species. We developed a sandwich ELISA to determine the GH concentrations in the plasma of geese. Recombinant goose GH was produced using a eukaryotic expression system and purified for use as the reference standard in ELISA and the antigen for producing the polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. Rabbit anti-goose GH polyclonal antibody was used to coat the wells of the ELISA plate, and its biotinylated form served as the detection antibody. An avidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase was used to bind the detection antibody and catalyze the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine and H2O2. A sigmoidal curve was fitted to the optical density and the log of the standard GH concentration using the four-parameter logistic model. The sensitivity of the assay was less than 0.156 ng/mL. The intra- and interassay coefficients of variation were less than 9 and 13%, respectively. The response curve of the serially diluted plasma samples from geese exhibited a good parallel relationship with that observed for the reference standards. The assay effectively detected differences in GH concentrations in plasma samples from geese at various physiological stages; thus, it will be useful for future study of their growth and metabolism.

Abstract
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. Characteristics of HPV infections, including the HPV genotype and duration of infection, determine a patient’s risk of high-grade lesions. Risk quantification of cervical lesions caused by different HPV genotypes is an important component of evaluation of cervical lesion. Data and evidence are necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the pathogenicity of different HPV genotypes. The present study investigated the clinical characteristics of patients infected with single human papillomavirus (HPV) 53. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of patients who underwent cervical colposcopy guided biopsy between October 2015 and January 2021. The clinical outcomes and the follow-up results of the patients with single HPV53 infection were described. Results 82.3% of the initial histological results of all 419 patients with single HPV53 infection showed negative (Neg). The number of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)1, CIN2, CIN3, vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN)1, CIN1 + VaIN1, CIN1 + VaIN2, and CIN2 + VaIN2 was 45, 10, 2, 9, 6, 1, and 1, respectively. Cancer was not detected in any patient. When the cytology was negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), we observed a significant difference in the distribution of histological results (P < 0.05). 95 patients underwent follow-up with cytology according to the exclusion criteria. No progression of high-grade lesions was observed during the follow-up period of 3–34 months. Conclusions The lesion caused by HPV53 infection progressed slowly. The pathogenicity of a single HPV53 infection was low.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Maximizing surgical resection in gliomas, while avoiding compromising non-infiltrated tissue, is associated with survival benefit. Current methodologies are suboptimal in providing rapid, intraoperative molecular characterization of tissue. We address this unmet need by using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) for the intraoperative molecular assessment of gliomas.
Methods/Case Report
This prospective study uses intraoperative DESI-MS analysis of fresh tissue to evaluate IDH mutations via 2-hydroxyglutarate intensity and TCP via measurement of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) intensity and characteristic lipid profiles in less than three minutes. Blinded review of the tissue smears by a neuropathologist is used to validate IDH mutation status and TCP estimates.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
Presently, 529 biopsies from 85 enrolled patients have been collected and analyzed at two institutions. TCP assessment based on NAA intensity in 203 biopsies at the first institution yielded sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values of 91, 76, and 83%, whereas TCP estimates via characteristic lipid profiles yielded 76, 85, and 81%, respectively. Assessment of IDH mutation status of 71 core biopsies yielded sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values of 89, 100, and 94%. Ongoing validation of the methodology is being performed at a second institution, where we have collected 282 biopsies from 36 patients. IDH mutation assessment of the first 15 patients indicate 100% sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.
Conclusion
This study represents the first and largest study using DESI-MS for the intraoperative evaluation of IDH status and TCP measurement in gliomas. Prospectively, we propose to modify our DESI-MS system to allow estimation of IDH mutation status and TCP in surgical cavities without the need for a biopsy by placing a surgical material along the margin and transferring material from the blot to a microscope slide prior to DESI-MS analysis. We envision molecular analysis by DESI-MS as a complementary technique to histopathology capable of providing additional clinical information in near real-time.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of daytime hypercapnia on logical memory and working memory in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods: This prospective study recruited patients complaining of snoring and diagnosed with OSAHS at the Sleep Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January to November 2020. Patients were assessed clinically and scored for their memory function. All patients underwent daytime transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) test, and overnight polysomnography (PSG). Logical memory was scored using the Logical Memory Test (LMT), while working memory was evaluated by Digit Span Test (DST) and Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) which included Pattern Recognition Memory (PRM), Spatial Span (SSP), and Spatial Working Memory (SWM). Patients were divided into the normocapnic group and the hypercapnic group using the daytime PtcCO2 test. The clinical and PSG parameters and the memory test scores between the two groups were compared. Binary logistic stepwise regression was conducted to identify risk factors of memory impairment in OSAHS patients. Results: Among the 123 enrolled OSAHS patients, 79 were normocapnic and 44 were hypercapnic. There was no significant difference in the general clinical parameters between the two groups. The snoring history in years in the hypercapnic group was longer than that in the normocapnic group (P<0.05). Compared with the normocapnic group, the apnea-hyponea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and percentage of total sleep time with oxygen saturation level<90% (TS90) of the hypercapnic group were higher (all P<0.05), while other PSG parameters exhibited no statistically significant differences. There was no statistically significant difference in the immediate logical memory and PRM immediate accuracy rate between the two groups, while the delayed logical memory, verbal and spatial working memory, and executive function were worse in the hypercapnic group, as shown by lower total LMT scores, lower DST, lower SSP scores (all P<0.05), and higher between errors and strategy scores (P<0.01) of SWM in the hypercapnic group. Binary logistic stepwise regression showed that PtcCO2 ≥45 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, OR=3.055, 95%CI 1.359-6.868, P=0.007) and higher body mass index (BMI) (OR=1.132, 95%CI 1.005-1.275, P=0.041) were risk factors for poor performance in Digit Span Backwards Test. Therefore, PtcCO2 ≥45 mmHg was an independent risk factors for poor performance in delayed LMT, SSP, and between errors and strategy scores in SWM (OR=3.109, 3.941, 3.238 and 2.785, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Hypercapnia had negative impacts on logical memory and working memory of OSAHS patients, especially on the delayed logical memory, verbal working memory and spatial working memory impairment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Metabolic syndrome is associated with increased incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in patients initially free from these diseases. However, its prognostic value in patients with established coronary artery diseases remains controversial.
Purpose
Therefore, we aimed to illustrate the prevalence and investigate the impact of metabolic syndrome in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome.
Methods
We conducted a large registry of consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome referred to primary percutaneous coronary intervention and those with multivessel diseases were eligible for this analysis. Metabolic syndrome was defined using modified criteria based on the Adult Treatment Panel III definition from the National Cholesterol Education Program. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
Results
A total of 2532 patients were included in current analysis and 993 (39.2%) of them had metabolic syndrome while 1539 (60.8%) did not. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome increased over the study period (p for trend = 0.005). There was a significant decline of metabolic syndrome prevalence in patients over 60 years old (p for trend = 0.002) and females had a higher prevalence than their male counterparts (61.5% verse 32.9%, p<0.001). Over a median follow-up of 2.3 years, metabolic syndrome was not significantly associated with MACE (adjusted 95% CI 0.92 to 1.54). In addition, there was no significant difference observed between two groups in other individual outcomes, namely all-cause death, cardiac death, stroke, myocardial infarction, and any revascularization.
Conclusions
Metabolic syndrome was frequently observed in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. Patients with metabolic syndrome were more likely to be young and female. However, it was not an independent predictor for MACE after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in those patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE While previous studies showed that the single nucleotide polymorphism (Val66Met) of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can impact neuroplasticity, the influence of BDNF genotype on cortical circuitry and relationship to neuroplasticity remain relatively unexplored in human. METHODS Using individualised transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) parameters, we explored the influence of the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism on excitatory and inhibitory neural circuitry, its relation to I-wave TMS (ITMS) plasticity and effect on the excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance in 18 healthy individuals. RESULTS Excitatory and inhibitory indexes of neurotransmission were reduced in Met allele carriers. An E/I balance was evident, which was influenced by BDNF with higher E/I ratios in Val/Val homozygotes. Both long-term potentiation (LTP-) and depression (LTD-) like ITMS plasticity were greater in Val/Val homozygotes. LTP- but not LTD-like effects were restored in Met allele carriers by increasing stimulus intensity to compensate for reduced excitatory transmission. CONCLUSIONS The influence of BDNF genotype may extend beyond neuroplasticity to neurotransmission. The E/I balance was evident in human motor cortex, modulated by BDNF and measurable using TMS. Given the limited sample, these preliminary findings warrant further investigation. SIGNIFICANCE These novel findings suggest a broader role of BDNF genotype on neurocircuitry in human motor cortex.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE HIF-1α and Runx2 expression usually increase in chondrocytes (CHs) during osteoarthritis (OA), which involves the changes in glycolytic metabolism. However, the molecular regulation of HIF-1α related to the CHs glycolytic metabolism is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to reveal the mediation of HIF-1α by Runx2 and its effect on the glycolytic metabolism of degenerative CHs. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of HIF-1α, Runx2, and the degenerative markers of CHs in both natural conditions from the OA patients and IL-1β treated in vitro model was analyzed by a Western blot or real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The glycolytic metabolism was determined by the intracellular glucose uptake and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation. Transfection of siRNA coding HIF-1α or Runx2 was used to clear the function between HIF-1α and Runx2 in the glycolytic metabolism of degenerated CHs caused by IL-1β. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and Luciferase reporter gene assay were used to verify the Runx2 protein binds to the promoter of HIF-1α and promote its expression. RESULTS HIF-1α and Runx2 were increased, and glucose uptake and ATP generation were decreased in the degenerative CHs from both OA and IL-1β conditions. Under the stimulation of IL-1β, Runx2 silencing rejected the upregulation of HIF-1α and further aggravated the glycolytic metabolism. When HIF-1α was silenced, the glycolytic metabolism of CHs was also suppressed. Besides, Runx2 protein could regulate HIF-1α expression in the transcriptional level by binding to its promoter. CONCLUSIONS OHIF-1α plays a role in the self-repair of the glycolytic metabolism of degenerative CHs via the transcriptional regulation of Runx2.
