Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the recurrence risk of breast cancer. STUDY DESIGN Dose-response meta-analysis. METHODS Cohort studies that included BMI and the recurrence of breast cancer were selected through various databases including PubMed, Web of Science, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journals (VIP), and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (WanFang) until November 30, 2021. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of literature. A two-stage random-effects meta-analysis was performed to assess the dose-response relationship between BMI and breast cancer recurrence risk. Heterogeneity between studies is assessed using I2. RESULTS The relative risk (RR) of BMI <25 kg/m2 vs BMI ≥25 kg/m2, BMI <30 kg/m2 vs BMI ≥30 kg/m2 were 1.09 (95% CI: 1.00-1.19) and 1.15 (95% CI: 1.04-1.27), suggesting that BMI had a significant effect on the recurrence risk of breast cancer, and there might be a dose-response relationship between them. A total of 21 studies were included in dose-response meta-analysis, which showed that there was a positive linear correlation between BMI and the risk of recurrence (RR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.03). For every 1 kg/m2 increment of BMI, the risk of recurrence increased by approximately 2%. In subgroup analyses, positive linear dose-response relationships between BMI and recurrence risk were observed among Asian and study period >10 years groups. For every 1 kg/m2 increment of BMI, the risk of recurrence increased by 3.41% and 1.87%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The recurrence risk of breast cancer increases with BMI, which is most obvious among Asian women.

Abstract
Objective: To introduce our experience on dealing with the internal carotid artery (ICA) during the resection of lateral skull base tumors, and to explore the reference values for using radiological findings to make a rational surgical plan. Methods: A retrospective study of patients who underwent resection of lateral skull base tumors involving ICA at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from May 2015 to May 2021 was conducted. The demographic information, preoperative examinations, diagnosis, surgical details and follow-ups were collected. A total of 41 patients were enrolled [24 (58.5%] females, 17 (41.5%) males], with an average age of 47.9 years. According to the preoperative imaging findings, the relationships between the tumors and ICA were divided into four types: adjacency, compression, invasion and ICA aneurysm. Results: The ICA was preserved in 32 (78.0%, 32/41) cases and was reconstructed in nine (22.0%, 9/41) cases. All the 27 (65.9%, 27/41) tumors adjacent to ICA were successfully separated from the artery. Among the 11 tumors compressing the ICA, six were resected with the involved ICA segment and vascular reconstruction was conducted. One (2.4%, 1/41) tumor invading ICA and two (4.9%, 2/41) ICA aneurysms required revascularization. The mean follow-up time was (26.1±2.9) months. There was no recurrence, except one case of adenoid cystic carcinoma which had brain metastases one year after surgery. Conclusions: According to the preoperative imaging, lateral skull base tumors adjacent to ICA can be detached from the vascular surface. Separation should be attempted first for tumors compressing ICA, and revascularization should be followed if separation failed. Vascular reconstruction is usually needed in the removal of tumors invading ICA and ICA aneurysms. Preoperative radiology can provide good references for planning a surgery for lateral skull base tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism by which berberine inhibits ferroptosis of mouse hippocampal neuronal cells (HT22). METHODS Cultured HT22 cells were pretreated with 30 or 60 μmol/L berberine for 2 h before exposure to 0.5 μmol/L erastin for 8 h, and the cell proliferation, intracellular ferric iron level, changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell apoptosis were detected using CCK-8, Fe2+ fluorescent probe, fluorescent dye (DAPI) and fluorescent probe (H2DCFH-DA). RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2, HO-1 and GPX4 in the cells. We further tested the effects of treatments with 2 μmol/L ML385 (a Nrf2 inhibitor), 60 μmol/L berberine and erastin in the cells to explore the protective mechanism of berberine against erastin-induced ferroptosis in the neuronal cells. RESULTS Treatment with 0.5 μmol/L erastin significantly lowered the viability of HT22 cells (P < 0.05) and increased the production of ROS, cell apoptosis rate and ferric iron level (P < 0.05). Pretreatment with 30 and 60 μmol/L berberine both significantly increased the vitality of erastin-exposed cells (P < 0.05) and lowered the levels of intracellular ROS and ferric iron content (P < 0.05). RT-qPCR and Western blotting showed that berberine obviously promoted the expressions of Nrf2, HO-1 and GPX4 in the cells (P < 0.05), and treatment with ML385 significantly inhibited the Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4 pathway, increased intracellular ROS and ferric iron contents and mitigated the protective effect of berberine against erastin-induced ferroptosis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Berberine can inhibit erastin-induced ferroptosis in HT22 cells possibly by activating the Nrf2-HO-1/ GPX4 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the flow diverter has advantages in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, pooled studies that directly compare it with conventional endovascular treatments are rare. PURPOSE Our aim was to compare the safety and efficacy of flow-diverter and conventional endovascular treatments in intracranial aneurysms. DATA SOURCES We performed a comprehensive search of the literature using PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database. STUDY SELECTION We included only studies that directly compared the angiographic and clinical outcomes of flow-diverter and conventional endovascular treatments. DATA ANALYSIS Random effects or fixed effects meta-analysis was used to pool the cumulative rate of short- and long-term angiographic and clinical outcomes. DATA SYNTHESIS Eighteen studies with 1001 patients with flow diverters and 1133 patients with conventional endovascular treatments were included; 1015 and 1201 aneurysm procedures were performed, respectively. The flow-diverter group had aneurysms of a larger size (standard mean difference, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.03-0.41; P = .026). There was a higher risk of complications in the flow-diverter group compared with the conventional endovascular group (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.01-1.96; P = .045) during procedures. The follow-up angiographic results of flow-diverter treatment indicated a higher rate of complete occlusion (OR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.70-3.83; P < .001) and lower rates of recurrence (OR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.12-0.46; P < .001) and retreatment (OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.21-0.47; P < .001). LIMITATIONS Limitations include a retrospective, observational design in some studies, high heterogeneity, and selection bias. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the conventional endovascular treatments, the placement of a flow diverter may lead to more procedure-related complications, but there is no difference in safety, and it is more effective in the long term.

Abstract
Infraocclusion is a phenomenon that the relative occlusal growth of a tooth stops after the period of active eruption and then the tooth becomes depressed below the occlusal plane. Infraocclusion occurred more commonly in children and the mostly affected teeth were the primary mandibular second molars. The occlusal problem caused by infraocclusion may progressively worsen with age. This review summarizes the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of infraoccluded second primary molars, so as to provide reference for the dental clinicians.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between the eye exercises and one-year axial eye elongation in grade 7 students in Beijing. Methods: Sampling was performed using a multistage random cluster approach, and 1 443 students of grade 7 were selected from 9 middle schools in 6 districts for the baseline survey. Data were collected by questionnaires and axial length measurement. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between eye exercises and excessive axial eye elongation. Results: Among 1 197 (82.95%) students with complete information, the median (QR) age was 12.00 (1.00) years old, girls accounted for 44.28%, and the median (QR) axial eye elongation was 0.22 (0.18) mm. In the multiple linear regression analysis, the frequency of eye exercises was significantly correlated with excessive axial eye elongation in boys (β=-0.135, 95%CI:-0.253--0.018) but not in girls (β=-0.075, 95%CI:-0.207- 0.058) after adjusting for sex, age, body height, the number of myopic parents, time spent outdoors and time spent on reading and writing outside class; while the seriousness of eye exercises was not significantly associated with axial eye elongation in boys (β=-0.028, 95%CI: -0.114-0.058) and girls (β=-0.035, 95%CI: -0.134-0.064). Conclusion: The increased frequency of eye exercises is beneficial to control the axial eye elongation in boys in Beijing.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicpathological, immunohistochemical and molecular genetic features of malignant mixed mesodermal tumor (MMMT) in the female reproductive system. Methods: To analyze its histopathological characteristics, we performed a retrospective review of the MMMT cases diagnosed at PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China during 2005-2019 using its surgical and pathological databases. EnVision immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of ER, PR, p16, p53 and MMR proteins. Results: Fifty cases were conformed to the diagnosis, including 29 cases originated in the uterus, 16 cases in ovary, 4 cases of synchronous occurrence in uterus and ovary, 1 case in cervix. The tumor was histologically composed of two components, namely carcinoma and sarcoma ones, with clear borderline or blend mutually. The proportion of cancer component in the whole tumor ranged from 5%-90%. The proportion of carcinoma was more than 50% in 76% of the cases, and less than 50% in 24% of cases, including 2 cases with<10% of carcinoma. In the cases of primary uterine MMMT, the main carcinoma type was high grade endometrioid carcinoma (55%, 16/29). In ovarian MMMT, the main carcinoma type was serous carcinoma (12/16), while that of cervical MMMT was squamous cell carcinoma. The others were clear cell carcinoma or the undifferentiated carcinoma. There was one carcinoma type in most cases, only 7 cases had two carcinoma types. Homologous sarcomas, including stromal sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and high-grade spindle cell sarcomas, were more commonly found in uterine MMMT (72.4%, 21/29). While heterogenic sarcomas, including chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, were more commonly noted in ovarian MMMT (12/16) than MMMT of other sites. There were 10 cases that consisted of two types of sarcomas. The synchronous MMMT of uterus and ovary had similar morphology and the types of carcinoma and sarcoma. The tumor cells that spread or metastasized to lymph node, omentum, intestinal wall or skin were all carcinoma cells, and were morphologically consistent with the original tumors. Immunohistochemically, ER and PR were both negative (23/25 in uterine, 8/10 in ovarian tumors). p16 was strongly positive (11/11 in uterine tumors, and 6/6 in ovarian tumors), with similar expression patterns in the carcinoma and sarcoma components. p53 showed mutant-type staining (64%, 21/33) and expressed synchronously in carcinoma and sarcoma components. p53 mutation was found in 35% cases of endometrial carcinoma and 46.7% cases of non-endometrial carcinoma. p53 mutation was also found in only 31.8% cases of heterogenic sarcomas, but in 50% of non-heterogenic sarcomas. Twenty-eight cases (28/33, 85%) presented intact mismatch repair proteins, while 5 cases (5/33, 15%) presented deficient mismatch repair proteins. Conclusions: MMMT in female reproductive system is a rare high-grade biphasic tumor with complex and diverse morphology. The immunohistochemical features are characterized by negative ER/PR and strongly positive p16, mostly mutant p53 and proficient mismatch repair proteins. The patients with a high FIGO stage have worse prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Do quantity and composition of decidual macrophages differ between uncomplicated oocyte donation (OD) pregnancies and non-OD in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancies?
Summary answer
OD placentas show higher decidual CD163 positive fraction within the total macrophage population compared to non-OD IVF placentas.
What is known already
The embryo of an OD pregnancy is completely allogeneic to the mother, which may lead to a bigger challenge for the maternal immune system to tolerize the fetus compared to autologous pregnancies. Placental macrophages may be essential in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Macrophages can be classified into different categories based on phenotype and characteristics, in which type 2 macrophages are thought to exhibit immune suppressive activity.
Study design, size, duration
This retrospective case-control study included patients who delivered in the Leiden University Medical Center between January 1st 2006 and July 1st 2016. A total of 42 pregnancies were enrolled in this study, conceived by uncomplicated singleton OD pregnancies (n = 25) or non-OD IVF pregnancies (n = 17). Medical records were reviewed and clinical data were collected. Placental tissue samples were collected for immunohistochemical staining and blood samples were collected for HLA typing.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Placentas were collected and immunohistochemically stained for CD14 (pan-macrophage marker) and CD163 (type 2 macrophage marker). The extent of staining was quantitated by digital image analysis software. To assess mismatching, maternal and fetal DNA was typed for HLA-A, -B, C, -DRB1, and -DQB1.
Main results and the role of chance
A significantly lower percentage of CD14 positive staining was observed in the decidua basalis of OD pregnancies compared to non-OD IVF pregnancies (p = 0.030). Consequently, the CD163/CD14 ratio in OD group was higher than in non-OD IVF group (p = 0.243). In the parietalis, OD pregnancies demonstrated a significantly higher percentage of CD163+ staining (p = 0.040) and a significantly higher CD163/CD14 ratio (p = 0.032) compared to non-OD IVF group. The reproducibility of this quantitative analysis was found to be high. OD group was separated into a syngeneic group (number of mismatches lower than half of the antigens per HLA locus) and an allogeneic group (number of mismatches higher than half of the antigens per HLA locus). Significant differences of CD163+ and CD163/CD14 ratio were found in the decidua parietalis when comparing the HLA-classII-allogeneic OD group with the non-OD IVF group (p = 0.047). This difference was not found for the HLA-class-II-syngeneic OD group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Our study only focused on decidua basalis and parietalis, no other locations in the placentas. Larger sample size might be needed to verify the association between macrophages and HLA mismatches.
Wider implications of the findings: To our knowledge, this study is the first to quantify a higher CD163 positive M2 macrophages load within the total decidual macrophages of uncomplicated OD pregnancy compared to non-OD IVF pregnancies.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Do quantity and composition of decidual macrophages differ between uncomplicated oocyte donation (OD) pregnancies and non-OD in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancies?
Summary answer
OD placentas show higher decidual CD163 positive fraction within the total macrophage population compared to non-OD IVF placentas.
What is known already
The embryo of an OD pregnancy is completely allogeneic to the mother, which may lead to a bigger challenge for the maternal immune system to tolerize the fetus compared to autologous pregnancies. Placental macrophages may be essential in maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Macrophages can be classified into different categories based on phenotype and characteristics, in which type 2 macrophages are thought to exhibit immune suppressive activity.
Study design, size, duration
This retrospective case-control study included patients who delivered in the Leiden University Medical Center between January 1st 2006 and July 1st 2016. A total of 42 pregnancies were enrolled in this study, conceived by uncomplicated singleton OD pregnancies (n = 25) or non-OD IVF pregnancies (n = 17). Medical records were reviewed and clinical data were collected. Placental tissue samples were collected for immunohistochemical staining and blood samples were collected for HLA typing.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Placentas were collected and immunohistochemically stained for CD14 (pan-macrophage marker) and CD163 (type 2 macrophage marker). The extent of staining was quantitated by digital image analysis software. To assess mismatching, maternal and fetal DNA was typed for HLA-A, -B, C, -DRB1, and -DQB1.
Main results and the role of chance
A significantly lower percentage of CD14 positive staining was observed in the decidua basalis of OD pregnancies compared to non-OD IVF pregnancies (p = 0.030). Consequently, the CD163/CD14 ratio in OD group was higher than in non-OD IVF group (p = 0.243). In the parietalis, OD pregnancies demonstrated a significantly higher percentage of CD163+ staining (p = 0.040) and a significantly higher CD163/CD14 ratio (p = 0.032) compared to non-OD IVF group. The reproducibility of this quantitative analysis was found to be high. OD group was separated into a syngeneic group (number of mismatches lower than half of the antigens per HLA locus) and an allogeneic group (number of mismatches higher than half of the antigens per HLA locus). Significant differences of CD163+ and CD163/CD14 ratio were found in the decidua parietalis when comparing the HLA-classII-allogeneic OD group with the non-OD IVF group (p = 0.047). This difference was not found for the HLA-class-II-syngeneic OD group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Our study only focused on decidua basalis and parietalis, no other locations in the placentas. Larger sample size might be needed to verify the association between macrophages and HLA mismatches.
Wider implications of the findings
To our knowledge, this study is the first to quantify a higher CD163 positive M2 macrophages load within the total decidual macrophages of uncomplicated OD pregnancy compared to non-OD IVF pregnancies.

Abstract
Canna indica is a common ornamental plant with asymmetric flowers having colourful petaloid staminodes. The only fertile stamen comprises a one-theca anther and a petaloid appendage and represents the lowest stamen number in the order Zingiberales. The molecular mechanism for the asymmetric androecial petaloidy remains poorly understood. Here, we studied the identity specification in Canna stamen. We observed four types of abnormal flower in terms of androecium identity transformation and analysed the corresponding floral symmetry changes. We further tested the expression patterns of B- and C-class MADS-box genes using in situ hybridization in normal Canna stamen. Homeotic conversions in the androecium were accompanied by floral symmetry changes, and the asymmetric stamen is key in contributing to the floral asymmetry. Both B- and C-class genes exhibited higher expression levels in the anther primordium than in other androecial parts. This asymmetric expression pattern precisely corresponded to the asymmetric identities of the Canna androecium. We identified C. indica as a model species for studying androecial organ identity and floral symmetry synthetically in Zingiberales. We hypothesized that homeotic genes specify floral organ identity in a putative dose-dependent manner. The results add to the current understanding of organ identity-related floral symmetry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the effects of the expressions of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-132 and sirtuin1 (Sirt1) on lung injury in sepsis rats, and to elucidate the regulatory relation between miR-132 and Sirt1. MATERIALS AND METHODS The model of sepsis-induced lung injury was successfully established in rats via injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the caudal vein (model group). Before modeling, the rats were infused with miR-132 antagomir via the trachea (miR-132 antagomir group) or intraperitoneally injected with the Sirt1 activator (SRT1720) (SRT1720 group). Meanwhile, the rats injected with an equal volume of normal saline via the caudal vein were enrolled in the control group. The expressions of the inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting were applied to detect gene and protein expressions in lung tissues, respectively. Targeted relationship between miR-132 and Sirt1 was explored using Luciferase reporter assay. In addition, tissue sections of the right lung were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) to observe the degree of lung injury. RESULTS The model of sepsis-induced lung injury was successfully established in rats by LPS. The results showed that the expressions of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and miR-132 rose significantly in lung tissues (p<0.01), whereas the expression of Sirt1 significantly declined (p<0.01). Lung injury was alleviated by miR-132 antagomir and SRT1720. Both miR-132 antagomir and SRT1720 significantly reduced the expressions of miR-132, IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α (p<0.01). However, the expression of Sirt1 was remarkably upregulated in rats with lung injury (p<0.01). Luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that miR-132 regulated Sirt1 in a targeted manner. CONCLUSIONS MiR-132 may cause lung injury in sepsis rats by regulating the expression of Sirt1.
