Abstract
PURPOSE Cutaneous angiosarcoma (CAS) is a rare but typically aggressive malignant vascular neoplasm of the skin. Tumor microenvironment (TME) of CAS and its associations with baseline clinicopathological features and patient outcomes are very important, especially when considering the recent advances in understanding of the tumor biology. METHODS/PATIENTS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who underwent surgical resection for CAS at a tertiary Hospital. The pretreated specimens were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), densities of tumor infiltrative lymphocytes (TILs) (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD45RO+, FoxP3+), as well as c-MYC and Ki-67 expressions. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared with Log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 21 CAS patients were identified. Median age was 67 (ranges: 20-81) years, 14 (66.7%) were male, and over 50% had lesions of scalp. Histopathological examination showed a predominantly spindle cell type (57.1%). All patients underwent surgery, 16 (76.2%) were treated further. PD-L1 was positively stained (> 1%) in tumor cells (42.9%) and TILs (23.8%). PD-1 expression (> 1%) was identified in TILs of 11 (52.4%) cases. PD-1/PD-L1 expressions were significantly associated with the higher densities of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD45RO+, and Foxp3+ TILs, but not with patient characteristics or c-MYC or Ki-67 expression. Median OS was 18.5 months (95% CI 6.0-35.9), although no prognostic significance was observed with respect to any clinicopathological features. CONCLUSION We characterized TME and its clinical and prognostic association in CAS. PD-1/PD-L1 expressions were significantly associated with TILs subtypes but not with OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of finger touching combined X-ray-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and the feasibility of avoiding damage in medical staff caused by X-ray. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2013 to December 2020, 640 cases of percutaneous nephrolithotomy were performed through the 18-24-F channel. Among those cases, 22 (3.4%) cases were double-sided kidney stones surgeries, 294 (45.8%) cases were on the right side and 324 (50.5%) cases were on the left side. The targeted renal calyceal puncture was carried out under the combined guidance of the doctor's finger and X-ray. We assessed the X-ray exposure time of patients and doctors, average number of punctures, postoperative hospitalization, calculus removal rates, and complications. RESULTS The average number of punctures was 2.8 ± 1.4. Average X-ray exposure time during procedure: 2.8 s (range: 2-8 s). Average surgical time: 106.5 ± 49.4 min. Postoperative hospitalization: 6.8 ± 4.2 d. Average reduced hemoglobin level: 5.9 g/day. Stone-free rate 4 weeks after surgeries: 95.6%. Patients with upper ureteral calculi: 395 cases (61.72%). The calculus residual rate of patients with staghorn renal calculi or multiple renal calculi complementary treatments was 82.9%, including 0 patients who received shock wave lithotripsy, 2 cases of repeated percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and 18 cases of ureteroscopy. Postoperative placement of renal drainage tube occurred in 52 cases. As for complications, no perirenal infection occurred, two severe bleeding complication cases occurred, and one case of colon perforation occurred. CONCLUSIONS Finger touching combined X-ray-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with renal calculus is safe and can accurately guide the puncture without radiation hazards. The placement of a renal drainage tube was beneficial to reduce renal effusion, hematocele, and infections.

Abstract
Background Treatment of perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease (PFCD) is a major unmet need. Filgotinib (FIL) is a once-daily, oral, preferential Janus kinase 1 inhibitor in development for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. The efficacy and safety of FIL for the treatment of PFCD was evaluated in the phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo (PBO)-controlled DIVERGENCE 2 study (NCT03077412). Methods Patients (18–75 years old) with PFCD (documented diagnosis of CD for at least 3 months and 1–3 external openings [EOs] with drainage [spontaneous or on compression] for ≥ 4 weeks before screening) previously treated with antibiotics, immunomodulators and/or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) were randomized (2:2:1) to receive FIL 200 mg, FIL 100 mg or PBO once daily for up to 24 weeks. Active luminal CD was permitted providing that the Crohn’s Disease Activity Index score was ≤ 300 at screening. The primary endpoint was combined fistula response (reduction of ≥ 1 from baseline in the number of draining EOs determined by investigator assessment and no fluid collections > 1 cm on centrally read pelvic magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) at Week 24. Combined fistula remission (closure of all draining EOs present at baseline and no fluid collections > 1 cm) at Week 24 was a key secondary endpoint. The study was not powered for statistical comparisons and was prematurely terminated owing to low recruitment rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results Baseline characteristics were broadly similar across the treatment groups (Table 1). Overall, 91.2% of patients had complex perianal fistulae and TNFi treatment had previously failed in 64.9% of patients. A lower proportion of patients randomized to receive FIL 200 mg discontinued the study compared with those who received PBO (Table 2). The proportion of patients who achieved a combined fistula response at Week 24 was numerically higher in the FIL 200 mg group (47.1%; 90% confidence interval [CI]: 26.0–68.9) than in the PBO group (25.0%; 90% CI: 7.2–52.7) (Figure 1), with similar results observed for combined fistula remission (FIL 200 mg [47.1%; CI: 26.0–68.9] versus PBO [16.7%; CI: 3.0–43.8]) (Figure 2). Treatment-emergent severe adverse events were highest in the FIL 200 mg group (Table 2). Adverse event rates were otherwise similar across treatment groups. ![]()

Conclusion In this phase 2 study, numerically higher fistula response and remission rates were observed after 24 weeks of treatment with FIL 200 mg versus PBO in patients with active PFCD and a history of multiple medical treatment failures. FIL was well tolerated overall. Further studies of FIL for the treatment of PFCD are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) always presents as a complex disease process with poor prognosis. The objective of the present study was to explore the influence of solitary or multiple cancers on the prognosis of patients with CMM to better understand the landscape of CMM. METHODS We reviewed the records of CMM patients between 2004 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. The cumulative incidence function was used to represent the probabilities of death. A novel causal inference method was leveraged to explore the risk difference to death between different types of CMM, and nomograms were built based on competing risk models. RESULTS The analysis cohort contained 165,043 patients with CMM as the first primary malignancy. Patients with recurrent CMM and multiple primary tumors had similar overall survival status (p = 0.064), while their demographics and cause-specific death demonstrated different characteristics than those of patients with solitary CMM (p < 0.001), whose mean survival times are 75.4 and 77.3 months and 66.2 months, respectively. Causal inference was further applied to unveil the risk difference of solitary and multiple tumors in subgroups, which was significantly different from the total population (p < 0.05), and vulnerable groups with high risk of death were identified. The established competing risk nomograms had a concordance index >0.6 on predicting the probabilities of death of CMM or other cancers individually across types of CMM. CONCLUSION Patients with different types of CMM had different prognostic characteristics and different risk of cause-specific death. The results of this study are of great significance in identifying the high risk of cause-specific death, enabling targeted intervention in the early period at both the population and individual levels.

Abstract
Background Senescence marker protein 30 (SMP30), which plays a pivotal role as a suppressor protein in cell proliferation, among other regulatory actions, is a marker of aging that shows decreased expression during senescence. Decreased SMP30 has been identified in several human cancers, but its expression and role in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear. Methods Using tumor tissue and matched adjacent normal tissue from 341 patients with resected NSCLC, we assessed SMP30 expression using immunohistochemical methods. The relationship between SMP30 expression and clinicopathologic characteristics was investigated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate analysis. Cell viability assay, colony formation assay, EdU incorporation assay and in vivo tumor xenograft models were also performed to investigate NSCLC cell proliferation using A549 and H1299 cell lines. Recombinant lentivirus-meditated in vivo gene overexpression and Western blot were performed to clarify the underlying molecular mechanism of SMP30 inhibiting NSCLC proliferation. Results SMP30 expression was frequently downregulated in NSCLC tissue, as compared with adjacent non-tumor tissue. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses revealed NSCLC patients with low SMP30 expression had a significantly worse overall survival (OS), with median OS of 18 vs. 67 months in high SMP30 expression group. SMP30 overexpression significantly inhibited A549 and H1299 cell proliferation both in vitro and in tumor xenografts and downregulated the expression of c-Myc and CyclinD1 protein. Moreover, Western blot analyses confirmed that SMP30 overexpression significantly inhibited the histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) level in NSCLC cells, and HDAC4 overexpression reversed SMP30-mediated NSCLC repression both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions SMP30 inhibited NSCLC proliferation by reducing HDAC4 expression, and SMP30 and HDAC4 may serve as new prognostic biomarkers and future therapeutic targets for NSCLC.

Abstract
Cinnamomum camphora chvar. Borneol essential oil (BEO) was efficiently extracted by using pilot-plant neutral cellulase-assisted steam distillation (NCSD). Borneol, β-cadinene and α-caryophyllene were identified as major components. Bacillus subtilis was the most sensitive bacteria to BEO with the lowest minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericial concentration (MBC) at 1·75 and 3·50 mg ml-1 , respectively. Antimicrobial activity of the BEO was also reasonably high against Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, but not sensitive against two fungi, i.e. Aspergillus niger and Penicillium aurantiogriseum. Changes in permeability and integrity of cell membrane, damage of cell wall and further leakage out of metabolites and ions were determined as bactericidal mechanisms of BEO against the two gram-positive bacteria. The BEO showed a reasonably high repelling activity of dust mite, which achieved higher than 95% repelling dust mite activity after the treatment of BEO solution at 0·50 mg ml-1 . When the concentration of BEO was higher than 0·50 mg ml-1 , it was B-grade miticide with miticidal activity higher than 95%. Miticidal procedures were characterized as excitation, contraction, relaxation and lastly leading to the death of dust mite. It is speculated that the BEO would cause dehydration and death of dust mite as neuromuscular toxicity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Autopsy series showed that one of most common plaque phenotypes underlying coronary thrombi was plaque erosion. Identification of erosion may permit a less invasive management. Chronic inflammation is a common process in atherosclerosis. The severity of plaque inflammation can be assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) defined macrophages density. The impact of macrophage infiltrates (MØI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients caused by plaque erosion was still unknown.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate plaque morphology and clinical prognosis associated with MØI as assessed by optical coherence tomography in STEMI patients caused by plaque erosion.
Methods
From October 2014 to December 2017, 1561 STEMI with OCT imaging before percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled in this study. Finally, 312 STEMI patients caused by plaque erosion were split into two group according to the presence of MØI in culprit eroded plaques.
Results
163 (52.2%) STEMI patients presented plaque erosion with MØI, whereas 149 (47.8%) patients had no evidence of MØI. MØI were more frequency appeared in older patients (p=0.015). The severity and vulnerability of culprit lesions were higher in patients with MØI characterized by more aggressive and vulnerable features. Patients with MØI had worse long-term prognosis, compared with patient without MØI, mainly driven by a higher rate of target lesion revascularization (p=0.046), especially in STEMI patients presented plaque erosion with intensive antiplatelet therapy (p=0.035).
Conclusions
In the present study, we demonstrated that macrophage infiltrates at the site of erode plaques were associated with severity and vulnerability of culprit lesions. The long-term prognosis in patients with MØI were poorer especially in patients without stent implantation.

Abstract
The advanced oxidation process (AOPs) has caused great concern in recent years. Among them, biochar has been widely studied as a catalyst for advanced oxidation process because of its low price and low environmental risk. In this study, a novel ball milling assisted KOH activation biochar (MKBC) was prepared and applied in peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-H). In comparison with the oxidation (3.48%) by PDS alone and adsorption (36.19%) by MKBC alone, the removal rate of TC-H was increased to 84.15% in the MKBC/PDS system, indicating that MKBC can successfully activate PDS. Besides, the catalytic activity of the MKBC to activate PDS for the degradation of TC-H is 58.33% higher than that of pristine biochar (PBC). In addition, MKBC has outstanding stability that after three repeated experiments, the removal rate of TC-H by the MKBC/PDS system still remains 77.35%. Meanwhile, the mechanism was investigated that the singlet oxygen (1O2) seized the principal position in the degradation of TC-H in the PDS/MKBC system. This study explored a novel, solvent-free and economic method to propose this extraordinary biochar, which provided a new strategy for the future research of biochar.

Abstract
Finding a low cost and effective alternative to noble metal based catalyst has long been concerned in wastewater treatment and organic transformation. This work developed a highly efficient sewage sludge-based catalyst via a simple one-step pyrolysis method, and for the first time, applied it in the catalytic reduction of nitrophenols. Due to the higher content of graphitic nitrogen, abundant defect sites and low electron transfer resistance, sewage sludge derived biochar obtained at 800 °C (SSBC-800) exhibits the best catalytic performance, with the reaction rate of 0.48 min-1 and turnover frequency for 4-nitrophenol calculated to be 1.25 × 10-4 mmol•mg-1 min-1, which is comparable to or even superior than some reported noble metal-based catalyst. Moreover, SSBC-800 showed good recyclability of 90% 4-nitrophenol removal within 8 min after 4 runs, and maintained high catalytic activity in reduction of other substituent nitrophenols, such as 2-nitrophenol (0.54 min-1), 3-nitrophenol (0.61 min-1) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (0.18 min-1), and in real water samples, indicating its practical applicability. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and electrochemical characterization demonstrate that SSBC-800 accelerates the dissociation of BH4- to form active hydrogen, which is the main species responsible for 4-nitrophenol reduction, while electron transfer reaction involving the surface bound hydride derived from the intimate contact between BH4- and SSBC-800 plays an important role in this process. This research not only provides a novel valorization pathway for sewage sludge, but also sheds new light on further designing of carbon-based catalyst for nitrophenol reduction.

Abstract
We investigated the abundance of microplastics in freshwater, treated water, and household tap water from the drinking water supply chain in Changsha, China. The abundance was 2173-3998 (mean = 2753), 338-400 (mean = 351.9), and 267-404 (mean = 343.5) particles L-1 in freshwater, treated water, and tap water, respectively. Fibrous and fragments made up the majority (> 70%) in all water samples, and most polymers were composed of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. Microplastics in tap water were related to materials of transportation pipelines in drinking-water supply chain. Although plastics are corrosion-resistant, the slight fragmentation and abrasion may occur during drinking water treatment transportation. This study provided a proof for the occurrence of microplastics in drinking water, which may offer a reference for microplastic removal during drinking water treatment, and the formulation of standards for microplastic content in drinking water.

Soft-Dielectron Excess in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2021; 127:042302.

Abstract
A measurement of dielectron production in proton-proton (pp) collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV, recorded with the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC, is presented in this Letter. The data set was recorded with a reduced magnetic solenoid field. This enables the investigation of a kinematic domain at low dielectron (ee) invariant mass m_{ee} and pair transverse momentum p_{T,ee} that was previously inaccessible at the LHC. The cross section for dielectron production is studied as a function of m_{ee}, p_{T,ee}, and event multiplicity dN_{ch}/dη. The expected dielectron rate from hadron decays, called hadronic cocktail, utilizes a parametrization of the measured η/π^{0} ratio in pp and proton-nucleus collisions, assuming that this ratio shows no strong dependence on collision energy at low transverse momentum. Comparison of the measured dielectron yield to the hadronic cocktail at 0.15<m_{ee}<0.6 GeV/c^{2} and for p_{T,ee}<0.4 GeV/c indicates an enhancement of soft dielectrons, reminiscent of the "anomalous" soft-photon and soft-dilepton excess in hadron-hadron collisions reported by several experiments under different experimental conditions. The enhancement factor over the hadronic cocktail amounts to 1.61±0.13(stat)±0.17(syst,data)±0.34(syst,cocktail) in the ALICE acceptance. Acceptance-corrected excess spectra in m_{ee} and p_{T,ee} are extracted and compared with calculations of dielectron production from hadronic bremsstrahlung and thermal radiation within a hadronic many-body approach.

Abstract
Lightning increases the atmosphere's ability to cleanse itself by producing nitric oxide (NO), leading to atmospheric chemistry that forms ozone (O3) and the atmosphere's primary oxidant, the hydroxyl radical (OH). Our analysis of a 2012 airborne study of deep convection and chemistry demonstrates that lightning also directly generates the oxidants OH and the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2). Extreme amounts of OH and HO2 were discovered and linked to visible flashes occurring in front of the aircraft and to subvisible discharges in electrified anvil regions. This enhanced OH and HO2 is orders of magnitude greater than any previous atmospheric observation. Lightning-generated OH in all storms happening at the same time globally can be responsible for a highly uncertain, but substantial, 2 to 16% of global atmospheric OH oxidation.

Benzyl butyl phthalate activates prophage, threatening the stable operation of waste activated sludge anaerobic digestion. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 768:144470.

Abstract
The stable operation of the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (WAS) is threatened by numerous emerging contaminants. Meanwhile, the extensive microplastic pollution increased the environmental exposure risk of plasticizer benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), the BBP content has reached a substantial level in WAS. However, the effect of BBP on WAS anaerobic digestion is still unknown. Here we show that high-level BBP brings on anaerobic digestion upset. The presence of 10.0 mg/L BBP (in sludge with 17,640 ± 510 mg/L TSS) led to deferred cell lysis, which was confirmed by the results of continuous parallel factor analysis of dissolved organic matter and the liberation of lactate dehydrogenase. Further, the deferred cell rupture was confirmed associate with prophage activation during WAS anaerobic digestion. Besides solubilization, the hydrolysis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis were also affected by the addition of BBP. The long-term effects of BBP revealed that the dominant microbial structure in anaerobic digester was stable, but the abundance of many functional microorganisms was changed, including short chain fatty acid producers and consumers. This work highlights one of the susceptibility mechanisms for WAS anaerobic digestion processes and provides new perspectives for the comprehensive assessment of emerging contaminant's environmental risks.

Abstract
The elliptic flow of electrons from beauty hadron decays at midrapidity (|y|<0.8) is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The azimuthal distribution of the particles produced in the collisions can be parametrized with a Fourier expansion, in which the second harmonic coefficient represents the elliptic flow, v_{2}. The v_{2} coefficient of electrons from beauty hadron decays is measured for the first time in the transverse momentum (p_{T}) range 1.3-6 GeV/c in the centrality class 30%-50%. The measurement of electrons from beauty-hadron decays exploits their larger mean proper decay length cτ≈500 μm compared to that of charm hadrons and most of the other background sources. The v_{2} of electrons from beauty hadron decays at midrapidity is found to be positive with a significance of 3.75 σ. The results provide insights into the degree of thermalization of beauty quarks in the medium. A model assuming full thermalization of beauty quarks is strongly disfavored by the measurement at high p_{T}, but is in agreement with the results at low p_{T}. Transport models including substantial interactions of beauty quarks with an expanding strongly interacting medium describe the measurement within uncertainties.

Abstract
PURPOSE Congenital growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a rare and etiologically heterogeneous disease. We aim to screen disease-causing mutations of GHD in a relatively sizable cohort and discover underlying mechanisms via a candidate gene-based mutational burden analysis. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 109 short stature patients associated with hormone deficiency. All patients were classified into two groups: Group I (n=45) with definitive GHD and Group II (n=64) with possible GHD. We analyzed correlation consistency between clinical criteria and molecular findings by whole exome sequencing (WES) in two groups. The patients without a molecular diagnosis (n=90) were compared with 942 in-house controls for the mutational burden of rare mutations in 259 genes biologically related with the GH axis. RESULTS In 19 patients with molecular diagnosis, we found 5 possible GHD patients received known molecular diagnosis associated with GHD (NF1 [c.2329T>A, c.7131C>G], GHRHR [c.731G>A], STAT5B [c.1102delC], HRAS [c.187_207dup]). By mutational burden analysis of predicted deleterious variants in 90 patients without molecular diagnosis, we found that POLR3A (p = 0.005), SUFU (p = 0.006), LHX3 (p = 0.021) and CREB3L4 (p = 0.040) represented top genes enriched in GHD patients. CONCLUSION Our study revealed the discrepancies between the laboratory testing and molecular diagnosis of GHD. These differences should be considered when for an accurate diagnosis of GHD. We also identified four candidate genes that might be associated with GHD.
