Garcia Campelo MR, Wan Y, Lin HM, Chen T, Shen J, Zhang P, Camidge DR. Q-TWiST analysis of survival benefits with brigatinib versus crizotinib in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer based on results of the ALTA-1L trial. Lung Cancer 2023; 185:107376. [PMID: 37722340 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2023.107376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ALTA-1L phase 3 open-label trial demonstrated increased progression-free survival (PFS) with brigatinib versus crizotinib in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK-positive) locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously untreated with ALK-targeted therapy. This post-hoc analysis of data from the ALTA-1L trial used the quality-adjusted (QA) time without symptoms of disease or toxicity (Q-TWiST) methodology to compare the QA survival benefit of brigatinib versus crizotinib in this patient population. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Q-TWiST analysis was performed using final (January 29, 2021) individual patient-level blinded independent review committee (BIRC)- and investigator-assessed survival data for brigatinib (n = 137) and crizotinib (n = 138) in adult patients (N = 275) with ALK-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC previously untreated with ALK-targeted therapy. Q-TWiST was compared between the two treatments. Subgroup analyses were performed in patients stratified by various clinicopathological characteristics, including presence or absence of brain metastases at baseline. RESULTS Brigatinib was associated with significantly longer time without symptoms of disease or toxicity (P < 0.001) than crizotinib, with significantly greater Q-TWiST (mean [SE] months: BIRC-assessed, 28.2 [1.2] versus 25.1 [1.1], P = 0.045; investigator-assessed, 28.5 [1.2] versus 24.8 [1.1], P = 0.018). Relative gains in Q-TWiST with brigatinib compared to crizotinib were clinically meaningful (BIRC-assessed, 10.4%; investigator-assessed, 12.3%). Patients with brain metastases at baseline receiving brigatinib had significantly greater Q-TWiST (mean [SE] months: BIRC-assessed, 29.0 [1.9] versus 19.0 [1.9], P = 0.0001) than those receiving crizotinib. CONCLUSION First-line brigatinib treatment was associated with significant and clinically meaningful gains in Q-TWiST compared to crizotinib in patients with ALK-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, supporting the results of the ALTA-1L trial and brigatinib as a safe and effective first-line treatment for ALK-positive NSCLC.

Abstract
Objective Delirium is a common and serious issue in patients recovering from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It can lead to longer hospital stays, increased mortality, and decreased quality of life. This study aims to investigate different nursing interventions to improve care for post-PCI patients by reducing the incidence and duration of delirium. Methods Between December 2021 and April 2023, we enrolled patients who underwent PCI surgery for acute myocardial infarction at our hospital as study participants. Utilizing a clinical randomized controlled trial design, we allocated these patients randomly into either the intervention group or the control group. The control group received conventional nursing care, while the intervention group received routine nursing care augmented by family visit nursing care, encompassing emotional support, education, and enhanced communication with family members. Upon the completion of all intervention measures, we assessed the incidence of delirium in post-PCI patients using the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) and the ICU Ambiguity Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU). Furthermore, we evaluated the patients' quality of life using the US Medical Bureau's Quality of Life Health Survey (SF-36). Result Significant differences were observed in Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) scores at 24 and 48 hours post-PCI, favoring the intervention group (P < .05). The intervention group also exhibited a lower incidence of delirium at 24 hours (P < .05) and a significantly shorter delirium duration (P < .05). While baseline quality of life scores did not differ significantly between the groups, post-intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher quality of life scores. These results underscore the positive impact of combined nursing interventions on sedation levels, delirium incidence and duration, and overall quality of life for post-PCI patients. Conclusion The combined approach of routine nursing care and home visit interventions significantly reduced delirium incidence and duration in post-PCI patients. This personalized care strategy emphasizes patient well-being and is indicative of a broader shift towards individualized healthcare. It highlights the potential for enhanced patient outcomes and improved quality of life in the context of post-PCI patient management.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the efficacy of different targets low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for the treatment of tremor Parkinson's disease(PD). Method: A total of 82 patients with primary PD who were admitted to the Department of Neurology, Xin Hua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021 were prospectively collected. According to the clinical characteristics of major movement disorders, 82 patients with tremor type (TD) were selected to enroll.The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups at a 1∶1∶1 ratio according to the randomized coding sequence of the trial: the primary motor cortex (M1) group with 26 cases, the cerebellum group with 26 cases and the dual-site (M1, cerebellum) group with 30 cases. All patients were treated with 1 Hz low-frequency stimulation of the corresponding target once a day for 5 days a week for 2 weeks, a total of 10 times; The dosage remained unchanged during the treatment for all groups. Before and after 2 weeks' treatment, the patients were assessed with the Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) and PD Quality of Life Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) without medication. Cortical excitability, namely transcranial magnetic stimulation motor evoked potential (TMS-MEP), [including resting motor threshold (rMT) and active motor threshold (aMT) examinations], timed up and go (TUG) and electromyographic tremor were conducted. Result: There were 82 patients, 39 males and 43 females, with an average age of (67±8) years. Before the treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the evaluation indicators among the three groups (all P>0.05). After the treatment, the differences of the UPDRS-Ⅲ score [(38.9±2.5) vs (29.2±3.6) ], UPDRS tremor score [(23.7±2.1) vs (14.6±3.1) ], TUG time [(44.8±3.1) s vs (33.7±4.1) s], tremor amplitude [(480±126) μV vs (276±94) μV], PDQ-39 score [(51±13) vs (45±13) ], rMT [(36±17)% vs (43±13)%], and aMT [(26±16)% vs (31±12)%] were statistically significant (all P<0.01) from those before the treatment. There was no statistical difference in the above factors between the M1 group and cerebellum group (all P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in tremor peak frequency among the three groups before and after the treatment (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Dual-site low-frequency rTMS can improve PD tremor, while M1 or cerebellar low-frequency rTMS does not significantly improve PD tremor. Its mechanism may be to improve PD tremor symptoms by regulating cortical excitability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus capitis clone, NRCS-A, is increasingly associated with late-onset sepsis in low birthweight newborns in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in England and globally. Understanding where this bacterium survives and persists within the NICU environment is key to developing and implementing effective control measures. AIM To investigate the potential for S. capitis to colonize surfaces within NICUs. METHODS Surface swabs were collected from four NICUs with and without known NRCS-A colonizations/infections present at the time of sampling. Samples were cultured and S. capitis isolates analysed via whole-genome sequencing. Survival of NRCS-A on plastic surfaces was assessed over time and compared to that of non-NRCS-A isolates. The bactericidal activity of commonly used chemical disinfectants against S. capitis was assessed. FINDINGS Of 173 surfaces sampled, 40 (21.1%) harboured S. capitis with 30 isolates (75%) being NRCS-A. Whereas S. capitis was recovered from surfaces across the NICU, the NRCS-A clone was rarely recovered from outside the immediate neonatal bedspace. Incubators and other bedside equipment were contaminated with NRCS-A regardless of clinical case detection. In the absence of cleaning, S. capitis was able to survive for three days with minimal losses in viability (<0.5 log10 reduction). Sodium troclosene and a QAC-based detergent/disinfectant reduced S. capitis to below detectable levels. CONCLUSION S. capitis NRCS-A can be readily recovered from the NICU environment, even in units with no recent reported clinical cases of S. capitis infection, highlighting a need for appropriate national guidance on cleaning within the neonatal care environment.

Abstract
Sesame is principally used to generate oil, which is produced by chemical refining or pressing. Sesame meal, as a main byproduct of sesame oil extraction, is usually discarded, causing resource waste and economic loss. Sesame meal is rich in sesame protein and three types of sesame lignans (sesamin, sesamolin, and sesamol). Sesame protein extracted via a physical method and an enzymic method has balanced amino acid composition and is an important protein source, and thus it is often added to animal feed and used as a human dietary supplement. Extracted sesame lignan exhibits multiple biological activities such as antihypertensive, anticancer, and cholesterol-lowering activities, and therefore it is used to improve the oxidative stability of oils. This review summarizes the extraction methods, functional activities, and comprehensive utilization of four active substances (sesame protein, sesamin, sesamolin, and sesamol) in sesame meal with the aim to provide theoretical guidance for the maximum utilization of sesame meal.

Abstract
Cell-derived small extracellular vesicles have been exploited as potent drug vehicles. However, significant challenges hamper their clinical translation, including inefficient cytosolic delivery, poor target-specificity, low yield, and inconsistency in production. Here, we report a bioinspired material, engineered fusogen and targeting moiety co-functionalized cell-derived nanovesicle (CNV) called eFT-CNV, as a drug vehicle. We show that universal eFT-CNVs can be produced by extrusion of genetically modified donor cells with high yield and consistency. We demonstrate that bioinspired eFT-CNVs can efficiently and selectively bind to targets and trigger membrane fusion, fulfilling endo-lysosomal escape and cytosolic drug delivery. We find that, compared to counterparts, eFT-CNVs significantly improve the treatment efficacy of drugs acting on cytosolic targets. We believe that our bioinspired eFT-CNVs will be promising and powerful tools for nanomedicine and precision medicine.

Abstract
Background The pathological differentiation of invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) has been linked closely with epidemiological characteristics and clinical prognosis. However, the current models cannot accurately predict IAC outcomes and the role of pathological differentiation is confused. This study aimed to establish differentiation-specific nomograms to explore the effect of IAC pathological differentiation on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Methods The data of eligible IAC patients between 1975 and 2019 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and randomly divided in a ratio of 7:3 into a training cohort and a validation cohort. The associations between pathological differentiation and other clinical characteristics were evaluated using chi-squared test. The OS and CSS analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator, and the log-rank test was used for nonparametric group comparisons. Multivariate survival analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical performance of nomograms were assessed by area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results A total of 4,418 IAC patients (1,001 high-differentiation, 1,866 moderate-differentiation, and 1,551 low-differentiation) were identified. Seven risk factors [age, sex, race, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, tumor size, marital status, and surgery] were screened to construct differentiation-specific nomograms. Subgroup analyses showed that disparate pathological differentiation played distinct roles in prognosis, especially in patients with older age, white race, and higher TNM stage. The AUC of nomograms for OS and CSS in the training cohort were 0.817 and 0.835, while in the validation cohort were 0.784 and 0.813. The calibration curves showed good conformity between the prediction of the nomograms and the actual observations. DCA results indicated that these nomogram models could be used as a supplement to the prediction of the TNM stage. Conclusions Pathological differentiation should be considered as an independent risk factor for OS and CSS of IAC. Differentiation-specific nomogram models with good discrimination and calibration capacity were developed in the study to predict the OS and CSS in 1-, 3- and 5-year, which could be used predict prognosis and select appropriate treatment options.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features, treatment regime, and outcome of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with DEK-NUP214 fusion gene. Methods: The clinical data, genetic and molecular results, treatment process and survival status of 7 cases of DEK-NUP214 fusion gene positive AML children admitted to the Pediatric Blood Diseases Center of Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from May 2015 to February 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: DEK-NUP214 fusion gene positive AML accounted for 1.02% (7/683) of pediatric AML diagnosed in the same period, with 4 males and 3 females. The age of disease onset was 8.2 (7.5, 9.5) years. The blast percentage in bone marrow was 0.275 (0.225, 0.480), and 6 cases were M5 by FAB classification. Pathological hematopoiesis was observed in all cases except for one whose bone marrow morphology was unknown. Three cases carried FLT3-ITD mutations, 4 cases carried NRAS mutations, and 2 cases carried KRAS mutations. After diagnosis, 4 cases received IAE induction regimen (idarubicin, cytarabine and etoposide), 1 case received MAE induction regimen (mitoxantrone, cytarabine and etoposide), 1 case received DAH induction regimen (daunorubicin, cytarabine and homoharringtonine) and 1 case received DAE induction regimen (daunorubicin, cytarabine and etoposide). Complete remission was achieved in 3 cases after one course of induction. Four cases who did not achieved complete remission received CAG (aclarubicin, cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor), IAH (idarubicin, cytarabine and homoharringtonine), CAG combined with cladribine, and HAG (homoharringtonine, cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) combined with cladribine reinduction therapy, respectively, all 4 cases reached complete remission. Six patients received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after 1-2 sessions of intensive consolidation treatment, except that one case was lost to follow-up after complete remission. The time from diagnosis to HSCT was 143 (121, 174) days. Before HSCT, one case was positive for flow cytometry minimal residual disease and 3 cases were positive for DEK-NUP214 fusion gene. Three cases accepted haploid donors, 2 cases accepted unrelated cord blood donors, and 1 case accepted matched sibling donor. The follow-up time was 20.4 (12.9, 53.1) months, the overall survival and event free survival rates were all 100%. Conclusions: Pediatric AML with DEK-NUP214 fusion gene is a unique and rare subtype, often diagnosed in relatively older children. The disease is characterized with a low blast percentage in bone marrow, significant pathological hematopoiesis and a high mutation rate in FLT3-ITD and RAS genes. Low remission rate by chemotherapy only and very high recurrence rate indicate its high malignancy and poor prognosis. Early HSCT after the first complete remission can improve its prognosis.

Abstract
Capsaicin, the principal spicy component of red pepper, shows numerous bioactivities these years. Based on the results of past studies, capsaicin may have potential effects on the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD). However, most studies mainly investigate functional dyspepsia-treatment effects of capsaicin by discussing the relationship between capsaicin and transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1). In fact, capsaicin may relieve the symptoms of FD in various ways. These effects involve desensitizing C nociceptive fibers, regulating kinds of neurotransmitters, counteracting viruses and inflammation, balancing the gut microbiota, inhibiting the secretion of gastric acid, and reducing oxidative stress damage. A full understanding of these mechanisms will help further development and utilization of capsaicin in food and medical fields.

Abstract
In this article, low-threshold random lasers based on DCM-DEG (DD) gain system with graphene nanosheets are studied. The experiment results show that the threshold of random lasers reduces rapidly when an appropriate amount of graphene nanosheets is added in DD solution. Meanwhile, the quantity and quality of random lasing modes raise significantly. We discussed the potential reasons why the graphene nanosheets can strengthen the sample's random lasing. And, the influence of the graphene nanosheet concentration on the radiation characteristics of random lasers is further studied. When the concentration of graphene nanosheets is 0.088wt%, the lasing threshold of DD samples with graphene nanosheets (GDD) is only about 31.8% of the lasing threshold of DD samples, and the quality of random lasing modes is five times higher than that of the DD sample. To further reduce the lasing threshold, the gold (Au) nanoparticles are added in the mixed solution to form the GDD solution with Au nanoparticles (GGDD). The results show that the lasing threshold of the GGDD sample is about 7.73 µJ/pulse, which is 5.2% of the lasing threshold of the DD sample. This experiment provides a new method to study low-threshold and high-quality random lasers based on graphene.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators play an important role in tumorigenesis; however, their role in multiple myeloma (MM) remains unknown. This study aimed to create an m6A RNA regulators prognostic signature for MM patients. We integrated data from the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation CoMMpass Study and the Genotype-Tissue Expression database to analyze gene expression profiles of 21 m6A regulators. Consistent clustering analysis was used to identify the clusters of patients with MM having different clinical outcomes. Gene distribution was analyzed using principal component analysis. Next, we generated an mRNA gene signature of m6A regulators using a multivariate logistic regression model with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. The expressions of m6A regulators, except FMR1, were significantly different in MM samples compared with those in normal samples. The KIAA1429, HNRNPC, FTO, and WTAP expression levels were dramatically downregulated in tumor samples, whereas those of other signatures were remarkably upregulated. Three clusters of patients with MM were identified, and significant differences were found in terms of overall survival (p = .024). A prognostic two-gene signature (KIAA1429 and HNRNPA2B1) was constructed, which had a good prognostic significance using the ROC method (AUC = 0.792). Moreover, the risk score correlated with the infiltration immune cells. In addition, KEGG pathway analysis showed that 16 pathways were dramatically enriched. The m6A signature might be a novel biomarker for predicting the prognosis of patients with MM (p = .002). Our study is the first to explore the potential application value of m6A in MM. These findings may enhance the understanding of the functional organization of m6A in MM and provide new insights into the treatment of MM patients.

Abstract
The proposal of local differential privacy solves the problem that the data collector must be trusted in centralized differential privacy models. The statistical analysis of numerical data under local differential privacy has been widely studied by many scholars. However, in real-world scenarios, numerical data from the same category but in different ranges frequently require different levels of privacy protection. We propose a hierarchical aggregation framework for numerical data under local differential privacy. In this framework, the privacy data in different ranges are assigned different privacy levels and then disturbed hierarchically and locally. After receiving users' data, the aggregator perturbs the privacy data again to convert the low-level data into high-level data to increase the privacy data at each privacy level so as to improve the accuracy of the statistical analysis. Through theoretical analysis, it was proved that this framework meets the requirements of local differential privacy and that its final mean estimation result is unbiased. The proposed framework is combined with mini-batch stochastic gradient descent to complete the linear regression task. Sufficient experiments both on synthetic datasets and real datasets show that the framework has a higher accuracy than the existing methods in both mean estimation and mini-batch stochastic gradient descent experiments.

Abstract
Acquired resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is reportedly inevitable in lung cancers harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, emphasizing the need for novel approaches to predict EGFR-TKI resistance for clinical monitoring and patient management. This study identified a significant increase in eomesodermin (EOMES)+CD8+ T cells in the TKI-resistant patients, which was correlated with poor survival. The increase in EOMES+CD8+ T cells was further confirmed in both tissue samples and peripheral blood of patients with TKIs resistance. The integrated analysis of pseudotime and Gene set variation showed that the increase in EOMES+CD8+ T cells may be attributed to TRM T cell conversion and metabolic reprogramming. Overall, this work suggested an association between the increased number of EOMES+CD8+ T cells and acquired TKI drug resistance, supporting the utility of EOMES+CD8+ T cells as a biomarker for TKI treatment response.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is one of the most important hallmarks of malignant tumors. Specifically, lipid metabolic reprogramming has marked impacts on cancer progression and therapeutic response by remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME). In the past few decades, immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape for advanced cancers. Lipid metabolic reprogramming plays pivotal role in regulating the immune microenvironment and response to cancer immunotherapy. Here, we systematically reviewed the characteristics, mechanism, and role of lipid metabolic reprogramming in tumor and immune cells in the TME, appraised the effects of various cell death modes (specifically ferroptosis) on lipid metabolism, and summarized the antitumor therapies targeting lipid metabolism. Overall, lipid metabolic reprogramming has profound effects on cancer immunotherapy by regulating the immune microenvironment; therefore, targeting lipid metabolic reprogramming may lead to the development of innovative clinical applications including sensitizing immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microwave ablation (MWA) is becoming an effective therapy for inoperable pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it is unclear whether the primary tumor location affects survival after MWA. OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the survival outcomes and prognostic factors of MWA based on different primary origins between colon and rectal cancer. METHODS Patients who underwent MWA for pulmonary metastases from 2014 to 2021 were reviewed. Differences in survival outcomes between colon and rectal cancer were analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests. The prognostic factors between groups were then evaluated by univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses. RESULTS A total of 118 patients with 154 pulmonary metastases from CRC were treated in 140 MWA sessions. Rectal cancer had a higher proportion with seventy (59.32% ) than colon cancer with forty-eight (40.68% ). The average maximum diameter of pulmonary metastases from rectal cancer (1.09 cm) was greater than that of colon cancer (0.89 cm; p = 0.026). The median follow-up was 18.53 months (range 1.10 - 60.63 months). The disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in colon and rectal cancer groups were 25.97 vs 11.90 months (p = 0.405), and 60.63 vs 53.87 months (p = 0.149), respectively. Multivariate analyses showed that only age was an independent prognostic factor in patients with rectal cancer (HR = 3.70, 95% CI: 1.28 - 10.72, p = 0.023), while none in colon cancer. CONCLUSIONS Primary CRC location has no impact on survival for patients with pulmonary metastases after MWA, while a disparate prognostic factor exists between colon and rectal cancer.

Short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic versus open pelvic exenteration for locally advanced rectal cancer: a single-center propensity score matching analysis. Tech Coloproctol 2023; 27:43-52. [PMID: 36194310 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-022-02691-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on short-term outcomes and long-term oncological results of laparoscopic pelvic exenteration (LPE) for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is still limited. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of LPE and open pelvic exenteration (OPE). METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2019, consecutive LARC patients who underwent radical pelvic exenteration at Peking University First Hospital were enrolled. Groups were matched at a 1:1 ratio using propensity score matching. The primary endpoints were 3 year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The secondary endpoints were postoperative short-term outcomes. RESULTS There were 144 patients (68 males and 76 females, median age 58.5 [range 27.0-86.0] years). After matching, patients were stratified into LPE (n = 48) and OPE (n = 48) groups (LPE: 24 males and 24 females, median age 57.0 [range 27.0-81.0] years; OPE: 26 males and 22 females, median age 58.0[range 36.0-80.0] years). There were no significant differences on baseline data between the two groups. Compared with the OPE group, the LPE group had a significantly lower estimated blood loss (200 vs 500 ml, p = 0.003), less overall postoperative complications (12/48 vs 25/48, p = 0.006), less surgical site infection (8/48 vs 20/48, p = 0.007), shorter length of stay (12 vs. 15 days, p = 0.005), but similar operative time (344 vs. 360 min, p = 0.493). The pathological R0 resection rate (98.0% vs. 93.7%, p = 0.610), 3 year local recurrence (18.4% vs. 23.5, p = 0.140), 3 year OS (74.6% vs. 65.5%, p = 0.290) and 3-year DFS (60.0% vs. 50.3%, p = 0.208) were similar between the two groups. Shorter distance from anal verge (HR = 0.92, p = 0.042), (y) pT4b (HR = 2.45, p = 0.023), (y)pN1-2 (HR = 2.42, p = 0.004) and positive CRM (HR = 6.23, p = 0.004) were independent prognostic risks for 3 year DFS. CONCLUSIONS LPE can be performed safely and has certain short-term advantages over OPE, most notably less blood loss and surgical site infection. However, LPE does not improve long-term oncological outcomes.

Abstract
Background Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an essentially incurable disease. This study aimed to establish a predictive model for estimating prognosis in newly diagnosed MM based on gene expression profiles. Methods RNA-seq data were downloaded from the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) CoMMpass Study and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and protein-protein interaction network analysis were performed to identify hub genes. Enrichment analysis was also conducted. Patients were randomly split into training (70%) and validation (30%) datasets to build a prognostic scoring model based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). CIBERSORT was applied to estimate the proportion of 22 immune cells in the microenvironment. Drug sensitivity was analyzed using the OncoPredict algorithm. Results A total of 860 newly diagnosed MM samples and 444 normal counterparts were screened as the datasets. WGCNA was applied to analyze the RNA-seq data of 1589 intersecting genes between differentially expressed genes and prognostic genes. The blue module in the PPI networks was analyzed with Cytoscape, and 10 hub genes were identified using the MCODE plug-in. A three-gene (TTK, GINS1, and NCAPG) prognostic model was constructed. This risk model showed remarkable prognostic value. CIBERSORT assessment revealed the risk model to be correlated with activated memory CD4 T cells, M0 macrophages, M1 macrophages, eosinophils, activated dendritic cells, and activated mast cells. Furthermore, based on OncoPredict, high-risk MM patients were sensitive to eight drugs. Conclusions We identified and constructed a three-gene-based prognostic model, which may provide new and in-depth insights into the treatment of MM patients.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of mechanical tension on the formation of hypertrophic scars in rabbit ears and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad signaling pathway. Methods: The experimental research method was adopted. Six New Zealand white rabbits, male or female, aged 3-5 months were used and 5 full-thickness skin defect wounds were made on the ventral surface of each rabbit ear. The appearance of all rabbit ear wounds was observed on post surgery day (PSD) 0 (immediately), 7, 14, 21, and 28. On PSD 28, the scar formation rate was calculated. Three mature scars in the left ear of each rabbit were included in tension group and the arch was continuously expanded with a spiral expander. Three mature scars in the right ear of each rabbit were included in sham tension group and only the spiral expander was sutured without expansion. There were 18 scars in each group. After mechanical tension treatment (hereinafter referred to as treatment) for 40 days, the color and texture of scar tissue in the two groups were observed. On treatment day 40, the scar elevation index (SEI) was observed and calculated; the histology was observed after hematoxylin eosin staining, and the collagen morphology was observed after Masson staining; mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, Smad3, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in scar tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; and the protein expressions of TGF-β1, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-SMA, and phosphorylation level of Smad3 in scar tissue were detected by Western blotting. The number of samples of each group in the experiments was 3. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test. Results: On PSD 0, 5 fresh wounds were formed on all the rabbit ears; on PSD 7, the wounds were scabbed; on PSD 14, most of the wounds were epithelialized; on PSD 21, all the wounds were epithelialized; on PSD 28, obvious hypertrophic scars were formed. The scar formation rate was 75% (45/60) on PSD 28. On treatment day 40, the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group was more prominent than that in sham tension group, the scar tissue was harder and the color was more ruddy; the SEI of the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group (2.02±0.08) was significantly higher than 1.70±0.08 in sham tension group (t=5.07, P<0.01). On treatment day 40, compared with those in sham tension group, the stratum corneum of scar tissue became thicker, and a large number of new capillaries, inflammatory cells, and fibroblasts were observed in the dermis, and collagen was more disordered, with nodular or swirling distribution in the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group. On treatment day 40, the mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, Smad3, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-SMA in the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group were respectively 1.81±0.25, 5.71±0.82, 7.86±0.56, 4.35±0.28, and 5.89±0.47, which were significantly higher than 1.00±0.08, 1.00±0.12, 1.00±0.13, 1.00±0.14, and 1.00±0.14 in sham tension group (with t values of 5.36, 9.82, 20.60, 18.26, and 17.13, respectively, all P<0.01); the protein expressions of TGF-β1, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, and α-SMA, and phosphorylation level of Smad3 in the scar tissue of rabbit ears in tension group were respectively 0.865±0.050, 0.895±0.042, 0.972±0.027, 1.012±0.057, and 0.968±0.087, which were significantly higher than 0.657±0.050, 0.271±0.029, 0.631±0.027, 0.418±0.023, and 0.511±0.035 in sham tension group (with t values of 5.08, 21.27, 15.55, 16.70, and 8.40, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions: Mechanical tension can inhibit the regression of hypertrophic scars in rabbit ears through stimulating the hyperplasia of scars, inhibiting the normal arrangement of dermal collagen fibers, and intensifying the deposition of collagen fibers, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway by mechanical tension.

Abstract
Patient-derived organoid (PDO) models have been widely used in precision medicine. The inability to standardize organoid creation in pre-clinical models has become apparent. The common mouse-derived extracellular matrix can no longer meet the requirements for the establishment of PDO models. Therefore, in order to develop effective methods for 3D cultures of organoids, we designed a self-assembling peptide, namely DRF3, which can be self-assembled into ordered fibrous scaffold structures. Here, we used the co-assembly of self-assembling peptide (SAP) and collagen type I, fibronectin, and laminin (SAP-Matrix) to co-simulate the extracellular matrix, which significantly reduced the culture time of PDO, improved the culture efficiency, and increased the self-assembly ability of cells. Compared with the results from the 2D cell line, the PDO showed a more significant expression of cancer-related genes. During organoid self-assembly, the expression of cancer-related genes is increased. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the establishment of precision molecular modeling platforms in the future.

Abstract
Fat deposition significantly impacts the meat yield and the meat quality of beef cattle, which is closely associated with the preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation. Bta-miR-493 is expressed differentially in the backfat of Qinchuan cattle of various ages, and it may be involved in the fat accumulation of beef cattle. However, the role and functional mechanism of bta-miR-493 in fat deposition are still unclear. Tissue-specific expression analysis showed that the level of bta-miR-493 was moderately abundant in the adipose tissues of beef cattle. Moreover, the expression of bta-miR-493 in perirenal fat, subcutaneous fat, and longissimus dorsi muscle of Japanese black cattle was significantly higher than that in Qinchuan cattle. EdU staining, cell counting assay, and Oil Red O staining indicated that bta-miR-493 promoted the proliferation of bovine preadipocytes but inhibited their differentiation. The dual luciferase assay and transcriptomic analysis confirmed that bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1A (BMPR1A) is a target gene of bta-miR-493. Moreover, rescue experiments showed that bta-miR-493 could promote bovine preadipocyte proliferation but inhibit their differentiation by targeting BMPR1A via the TGFβ/BMP and p38MAPK signaling pathways. Overall, our findings revealed a bta-miR-493-BMPR1A-TGFβ/BMP/p38MAPK regulatory axis that will serve as a theoretical foundation for the molecular breeding of beef cattle with high intramuscular fat deposition.

Abstract
Investigation of dynamical excitations is difficult but crucial to the understanding of many exotic quantum phenomena discovered in quantum materials. This is particularly true for highly frustrated quantum antiferromagnets whose dynamical properties deviate strongly from theoretical predictions made based on the spin-wave or other approximations. Here, we present a large-scale numerical calculation on the dynamical correlation functions of spin-1/2 triangular Heisenberg model using a state-of-the-art tensor network renormalization group method. The calculated results allow us to gain for the first time a comprehensive picture on the nature of spin excitation spectra in this highly frustrated quantum system. It provides a quantitative account for all the key features of the dynamical spectra disclosed by inelastic neutron scattering measurements for Ba_{3}CoSb_{2}O_{9}, revealing the importance of the interplay between low- and high-energy excitations and its renormalization effect to the low-energy magnon bands and high-energy continuums. We identify the longitudinal Higgs modes in the intermediate-energy scale and predict the energy and momentum dependence of spectral functions along the three principal axes that can be verified by polarized neutron scattering experiments. Furthermore, we find that the spin excitation spectra weakly depend on the anisotropic ratio of the antiferromagnetic interaction.
