Abstract
CDK12 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 12)-mutated prostate cancer patients often respond badly to current therapies. Immunotherapy and platinum-based chemotherapy are recommended based on the molecular features of CDK12-mutated tumors, but the reported patient outcomes are still unsatisfying. Here we report a prostate cancer patient with CDK12 somatic mutation who received multiple therapy options, including platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy. His sequential circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) -based liquid biopsy tests showed that his original CDK12 mutation fell undetectable twice. This phenomenon was observed only when he was responding well to platinum-based chemotherapy. His responses to immunotherapy were not satisfying. This case indicates that platinum-based chemotherapy can be a good option for treating patients with CDK12 mutation. More importantly, dynamic ctDNA-based liquid biopsies to monitor patients’ CDK12 mutation status are critical in evaluating patients’ response and tolerance during platinum-based chemotherapy, therefore may lead to a better overall prognosis. In conclusion, CDK12-mutated prostate cancer patients are likely to benefit from platinum-based chemotherapy, especially with the help of dynamic ctDNA-based liquid biopsies to monitor their CDK12 mutation status.

Abstract
Based on the existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses, we conducted this umbrella review aiming at evaluating the quality of evidence, validity and biases of the relationship between vitamin C (VC) intake and incidence and outcomes of multiple cancers. We identified 22 cancer outcomes within 3,562 articles. VC consumption was associated with lower incidence of bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical tumors, endometrial cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, glioma, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, and total cancer occurrence. VC intake was also related to decreased risk of breast cancer prognosis (recurrence, cancer-specific mortality, and all-cause mortality).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although low muscle mass may make an under-appreciated contribution to increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, no prospective studies have explored the association between low muscle mass and carotid atherosclerosis. We investigated whether muscle mass was related to a higher carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) and carotid artery plaque in a community-based population. METHODS The study included 1,253 asymptomatic participants without known cardiovascular disease, who underwent carotid ultrasonography at baseline in 2013-2014 and received a re-examination in 2015-2016. The skeletal muscle mass index was estimated using a bioelectrical impedance analyzer. We assessed the relationship between the skeletal muscle mass index and the development of C-IMT and carotid plaque, both, using multivariate-adjusted logistic regression models. RESULTS During the follow up, 400 (51.0%) subjects with normal C-IMT at baseline developed elevated C-IMT and 215 (17.2%) subjects developed carotid plaque. The risk of elevated C-IMT occurrence linearly decreased with an increase in skeletal muscle mass index quintiles or its continuous data, after multivariate-adjustment in men and women, respectively (both P for trend < 0.05; both P < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed that this association was BMI-dependent. Besides, there was an inverse association between a high skeletal muscle mass index and carotid artery plaque in women, but the association disappeared after multivariate adjustment. In men, the skeletal muscle mass index was not associated with the incidence of carotid plaque. CONCLUSIONS Skeletal muscle mass was inversely associated with the incidence of carotid atherosclerosis, suggesting muscle mass maintenance may play a role in modifying atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to environmental pollution via different mechanisms is associated with multiple endocrine dysfunctions. Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals that affect sex steroid hormones. PURPOSE We aimed to study the effect of OPEs and their metabolites, such as dibutyl phosphate [DPHP], bis(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate [BDCPP], bis(2-chloroethyl) phosphate [BCEP], and dibutyl phosphate [DBUP], on sex steroid hormones in males. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND INTERVENTION This cross-sectional analytical study analyzed data from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey among 763 male participants aged ≥20 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The relationships between the metabolites of OPEs and total testosterone, estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin, and the ratio of total testosterone to estradiol (a parameter derived from total testosterone and estradiol) were evaluated using multivariate linear regression models that were adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS A total of 763 participants, with a mean age of 44.59 (±15.59) years, were enrolled. Of these, 65.7% participants had non-Hispanic white ancestry, 9.83% had non-Hispanic black ancestry, and 15.97% had Hispanic ancestry. Participants with higher urinary level of DPHP had a lower level of total testosterone and estradiol. Moreover, higher urinary levels of BDCPP were associated with higher estradiol. CONCLUSION According to our study, which is based on a representative population of US adults, exposure to OPEs was significantly associated with altered sex hormone levels (total testosterone and estradiol). Further studies focused on the underlying mechanisms regarding the association between each metabolite and sex steroid hormones are required. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study assessed the effects of adding tislelizumab to first-line standard-of- care chemotherapy on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients in this open-label, multicenter, phase 3 RATIONALE 307 trial were randomized to one of the three arms: tislelizumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel (Arm A), tislelizumab plus carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel (Arm B), or paclitaxel plus carboplatin (Arm C). HRQoL was measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Lung Cancer 13-item module (QLQ-LC13). Mean score change from baseline at Weeks 6 and 12 in the QLQ-C30's global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL), fatigue, and physical functioning scores and QLQ-LC13 lung cancer specific subscales were examined. Time to deterioration was estimated for the GHS/QoL score. RESULTS A total of 355 sq-NSCLC patients received at least one dose of study drug and completed at least one HRQoL assessment. The GHS/QoL scores improved in Arms A and B relative to Arm C at Weeks 6 and 12. Arms A and B also experienced a reduction in most lung cancer-specific symptoms relative to Arm C. Time to deterioration of GHS/QoL was not reached by any of the three arms. CONCLUSIONS The addition of tislelizumab to platinum-based chemotherapy is associated with improvements in sq-NSCLC patients' HRQoL, especially in GHS/QoL and most importantly in lung cancer-specific symptoms including coughing, dyspnea, and hemoptysis.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the predictive factors of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and evaluate the usefulness of prediction nomograms. Methods This study included 300 patients diagnosed with penile squamous cell carcinoma at West China Hospital (WCH) of Sichuan University (Chengdu, China) and 412 cases acquired from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Logistic regression analysis was performed on these cohorts to investigate the predictive factors of LNM. We evaluated a recently developed prediction nomogram for LNM, which was established based on the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Moreover, we developed a novel nomogram using cases from the WCH for the prediction of lymphatic metastasis. Results Logistic analysis identified that younger age at diagnosis, invasion of the penis body, poorer pT stage, cN stage, nuclear grade and the presence of lymph vascular invasion (LVI) were significantly correlated with LNM in WCH cases; however, only race, poorer T stage and cN stage were significantly associated with LNM among the cases from the SEER. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that younger age, poorer T stage, cN stage and nuclear grade were independent predictors of LNM. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of WCH cases showed that the tumor T stage 8th edition has better area under the curve than 7th stage (0.672 vs 0.636, respectively). Moreover, well AUC was seen in external validation of NCDB nomogram in WCH cohorts and SEER series (0.833 vs 0.795). The new nomogram included the aforementioned independent predictors and the bootstrap-corrected concordance was 0.876. Conclusion Younger diagnose age, poorer pT stage, cN stage, nuclear grade and LVI were the most important predictors of LNM in patients with penile cancer. 8th T stage performed better than 7th version in predicting LNM. NCDB nomogram has some application values in both WCH and SEER cases, and our novel model further improved the predictive accuracy.

Abstract
Background:Intestinal flora disorder and immune abnormalities have been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients1,2. Berberine (BBR) showed significant effects in regulating the intestinal flora, repairing gut barriers and regulating immune cells3,4. While few reports mentioned the abnormal gut microbiota and metabolites in Chinese SLE patients.Objectives:Our investigation tried to illustrate the relationship between gut microbiota, intestinal metabolites and disease activity in Chinese SLE patients. And the effect of BBR to intestinal dysbacteriosis, multiple organ damages and over-activated immune system in MRL/Lpr mice.Methods:16S high-throughput (16S rRNA) sequence, qRT-PCR and gas chromatography technology were used to determine the gut microbiota and metabolites in 104 SLE patients from Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, China. BBR was orally treated to the MRL/Lpr mice in low, medium and high doses. After 6 weeks treatment, mice were sacrificed. Serum, faeces and organs were collected for further studies.Results:Chinese SLE patients showed higher abundance of Bacteroidetes and lower abundance of Firmcutes. The results of qRT-PCR showed high Firmcutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio of SLE patients. The F/B ratio was negative correlated with SLE disease activity index (SLEDA) score. Almost all the tested short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) found statistically significant results in SLE and LN (lupus nephritis) patients, especially the propanoic acid and butyric. BBR altered the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Verrucomicrobia and the butyric acid content in colon of MRL/Lpr mice. The increase of tight junction protein also indicated the gut barrier was repaired by BBR. Treg and Tfr cells in spleen and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) were increased. These results revealed a positive therapeutic effect of berberine on SLE from gut microbiota to immune status.Conclusion:Our study highlights current status of intestinal dysbacteriosis in Chinese patients with SLE and differences in intestinal metabolites among patients with different disease states. The regulation of intestinal flora and the repairment of gut barrier by intestinal metabolites in BBR treated mice seemed to be the factor that directed the immune responses and disease outcomes. The ultimate goal of our study was to determine the beneficial effects of regulating the gut microbiota on the treatment of SLE. The application of berberine is a relatively safe and convenient way. In the coming investigations, we plan to focus on the study of berberine and its metabolites on intestinal function and systemic immunity.References:[1]Guo, M. et al.

Abstract
Objective This study assessed the association between body composition and prognosis of patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients treated by radical nephroureterectomy. Methods We retrospectively collected baseline data on age, sex, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, and tumor-related factors. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed to measure body composition parameters such as muscle attenuation (MA), total abdominal muscle area (TAMA), visceral fat area (VFA), intermuscular fat area (IMF), and lateral/posterior perirenal fat thickness (L/P PNF), visceral fat density (VD), and subcutaneous fat density (SD). Patient follow-up was conducted via telephone or in the clinic. The endpoints of follow-up were all-cause death, local progression or distant metastasis. Survival analysis was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and risk factors associated with prognosis were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses. Results Among the 273 UTUC patients (median age, 68 years) enrolled in our study, 102 had a BMI > 24.0, 100 suffered from diabetes, and 120 had hypertension. A large proportion of patients (189) had high grade tumors. Across all patients, 1- and 3-year rates for overall survival were 86.45% and 75.55%; local progression-free survival, 92.11% and 89.67%; and distant metastasis-free survival, 85.23% and 80.17%. Based on the Cox regression analysis, MA, IMF, TAMA, TPA, TPT, APT, SMI and PMI significantly reduced the risk of local progression (p < 0.05), while PPNF = 1 point reduced the risk of distant metastasis (p < 0.05). Overall survival was significantly associated with MA, TAMA, and SMI (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our findings illustrate that body composition parameters can act as independent predictors of prognosis in UTUC patients who underwent RNU. These results can help improve stratification of patients and optimize postoperative treatment.

Abstract
Long winters led to a one-crop-a-year cultivation system until the winter wheat Dongnongdongmai 1 (Dn1) was successfully cultivated in northeast China. This crop variety is resistant to extremely low temperatures (-35 °C). To better understand the adaptability of winter wheat Dn1 to low temperatures, gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF/MS) and metabolomics analysis was conducted on the tillering nodes of winter wheat during the overwintering period. Enzyme-regulating genes of the metabolic products were also quantitatively analysed. The metabolomic results for the tillering nodes in the overwintering period showed that disaccharides had a strong protective effect on winter wheat Dn1. Amino acid metabolism (i.e. proline, alanine and GABA) changed significantly throughout the whole wintering process, whereas organic fatty acid metabolism changed significantly only in the late stage of overwintering. This result indicates that the metabolites used by winter wheat Dn1 differ in different overwintering stages. The relationship between field temperature and metabolite changes in winter wheat Dn1 during overwintering periods is discussed, and disaccharides were identified as the osmotic stress regulators for winter wheat Dn1 during the overwintering process, as well as maintenance of the carbon and nitrogen balance by monosaccharides, amino acids and lipids for cold resistance.

Abstract
Objectives To study clinical characteristics and factors that may affect the prognosis of testicular sarcoma patients. Patients and Methods In the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database (2006–2016), people with testicular sarcoma were enrolled in our research. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model and Multivariable Logistic regression model were used to compare the impact of different factors on cancer-specific survival, localized metastasis, and distant metastasis. Results This research was based on the registry information of 158 testicular sarcoma patients. All patients with a median age of 17.00 (1.00–93.00) years were pathologically diagnosed with orchiectomy or needle biopsy specimens. Patients with Grade I, II, III, and IV testicular sarcoma accounted for 34.29% (n = 24), 10.10% (n = 7), 22.86% (n = 16), and 32.86% (n = 23) of all patients, respectively. There were 42 (30.43%), 53 (38.41%), 15 (10.87%), 20 (14.49%), 5 (3.62%), 3 (2.17%) patients with Tis, T1, T2, T3, T4, and >T4 (the invasion degree exceeded the staging system of testicular cancer) disease respectively. Among all included patients, localized metastasis occurred in 31 (20.13%) patients, distant metastasis was found in 28 (18.18%) patients during observation, and 61.69% (n = 95) had no metastasis. Thirty-two (20.25%) patients died of this cancer. According to our study, patients with distant metastasis [OR = 17.86, 95% CI (4.63–68.84), p < 0.0001] and T3 disease [OR = 4.13, 95% CI (1.10–15.53), p = 0.0359] were more likely to die of this cancer. Patients with advanced T stage were more likely to occur distant metastasis, [OR = 13.91, 95% CI (1.80–107.54), p = 0.0116] for T3 and [OR = 16.36, 95% CI (1.36–196.21), p = 0.0275] for T4. Conclusions According to our research, factors including metastasis and higher T stage were significantly related with poorer prognosis of testicular sarcoma. Higher T stage was also found to be a risk factor of distant metastasis. The recognization of these poor prognostic factors may allow physicians to make comprehensive and appropriate management decision for testicular sarcoma patients.
