Abstract
Objective: To explore the necessity and safety of selective endoscopy to detect gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out to analyze the clinical data of selective endoscopy performed at the Endoscopic Center, Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from February 20 to March 6, 2020. Clinical data included epidemiological questionnaire, chief complaints, endoscopic findings and biopsy pathology results, etc. All medical staff had blood test for IgM/IgG antibodies of COVID-19. Patients and their families were followed up by phone to determine whether they were infected with COVID-19. Meanwhile, the clinical data of selective endoscopy during the same period from February 20 to March 6, 2019 were collected as the control group to compare the overall results of endoscopy examinations during the epidemic and the detection rate of GI malignancy. Results: A total of 911 patients underwent endoscopy in the epidemic period group, and a total of 5746 cases in the control group, which was 6.3 times over the epidemic period group. In the epidemic period group, 544 cases received gastroscopy and 367 cases received colonoscopy, while 3433 cases received gastroscopy and 2313 cases received colonoscopy in the control group, which were both 6.3 times of epidemic period group. Gastroscopy revealed that 39 patients (7.2%) were diagnosed with upper GI malignancies in the epidemic period group and 77 patients (2.2%) in the control group with significant difference (χ(2)=40.243, P<0.001). The detection rate of gastric cancer in these two groups was 3.3% (n=18) and 1.7% (n=59) respectively with significant difference (χ(2)=6.254,P=0.012). The detection rate of esophageal cancer was 3.7% (n=20) and 0.5% (n=18) respectively with significant difference (χ(2)=49.303,P<0.001). Colonoscopy revealed that colorectal cancer was found in 32 cases (8.7%) of the epidemic period group and 88 cases (3.8%) of the control group with significant difference (χ(2)=17.888, P<0.001). During the epidemic period, no infection of medical staff was found through the blood test of IgM/IgG antibodies on COVID-19. No patient and family members were infected with COVID-19 by phone follow-up. Conclusion: Compared with the same period in 2019, the number of selective endoscopy decreases sharply during the epidemic period, while the detection rate of various GI malignant tumors increases significantly, which indicates that patients with high-risk symptoms of GI malignancies should still receive endoscopy as soon as possible. Provided strict adherence to the epidemic prevention standards formulated by the state and professional societies, it is necessary to carry out clinical diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), tumor budding, and micropapillary architecture may influence tumor growth and metastatic potential, thereby enhancing prognostic stratification. We analyzed these features and their relative contribution to overall outcome and in low (T1-3 N1) and high (T4 and/or N2) risk groups that are used to inform the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with resected stage III colon cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS Among 1532 patients treated in a phase III adjuvant trial of FOLFOX-based therapy, intraepithelial TIL densities, tumor budding, and micropapillary features were analyzed and quantified in routine histopathological sections with light microscopy. Optimal cut-points were determined in association with disease-free survival (DFS) in training and validation sets. Associations or relative contributions of individual features or combined variables with DFS were determined using multivariable Cox regression models. RESULTS TILs, tumor budding, and micropapillary features were shown to differ significantly by T, N risk groups and by mismatch repair (MMR) status. Low TILs, high budding, and their combined variable [hazard ratio = 2.07 (95% CI, 1.50% to 2.88%); Padj < 0.0001], but not micropapillary features, were each significantly associated with poorer DFS in a training data set and confirmed in a validation set. TILs were prognostic in proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) and deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) tumors; budding was prognostic only in pMMR tumors. The percentage relative contribution of budding/TILs to DFS was second only to nodal status overall, was second (24.4%) after KRAS in low-risk patients, and was the most important contributor (45.4%) in high-risk patients. CONCLUSIONS TIL density and tumor budding were each validated as significant prognostic variables and their combined variable provided robust prognostic stratification by T, N risk groups, being the strongest predictor of DFS among high-risk stage III patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 2004, adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX or FLOX) have been the standard of care for patients with resected colon cancer. Herein we examine the change of outcomes over a 10-year period in patients with stage III colon cancer who received this regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS Individual patient data from the ACCENT database was used to compare the outcomes in older (1998-2003) and newer (2004-2009) treatment eras for patients with stage III colon cancer who received adjuvant FOLFOX or FLOX. The outcomes were compared between the two groups by the multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model adjusting for age, sex, performance score, T stage, N stage, tumor sidedness, and histological grade. RESULTS A total of 6501 patients with stage III colon cancer who received adjuvant FOLFOX or FLOX in six randomized trials were included in the analysis. Patients enrolled in the new era group experienced statistically significant improvement in time to recurrence [3-year rate, 76.1% versus 73.0%; adjusted hazard ratio (HRadj) = 0.83 (95% CI, 0.74-0.92), P = 0.0008], disease-free survival (DFS) [3-year rate, 74.7% versus 72.3%; HRadj = 0.88 (0.79-0.98), P = 0.024], survival after recurrence (SAR) [median time, 27.0 versus 17.7 months; HRadj = 0.65 (0.57-0.74), P < 0.0001], and overall survival (OS) [5-year rate, 80.9% versus 75.7%; HRadj = 0.78 (0.69-0.88), P < 0.0001]. The improved outcomes remained in patients diagnosed at 45 years of age or older, low-risk patients (T1-3 and N1), left colon, mismatch repair proficient (pMMR), BRAF, and KRAS wild-type tumors. CONCLUSION Improved outcomes were observed in patients with stage III colon cancer enrolled in clinical trials who received adjuvant FOLFOX/FLOX therapy in 2004 or later compared with patients in the older era. Prolonged SAR calls for revalidation of 3-year DFS as the surrogate endpoint of OS in adjuvant clinical trials and reevaluation of optimal follow-up of OS to confirm the trial findings based on the DFS endpoints. CLINICAL TRIALS NUMBERS NCT00079274; NCT00096278; NCT00004931; NCT00275210; NCT00265811; NCT00112918.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the differentially expressed genes related to the chemosensitivity with the TPF regimen for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and to measure potential functional targeting genes expressions. Methods: Twenty-nine patients with primary hypopharyngeal cancer who underwent induction chemotherapy with TPF from January 2013 to December 2017 in Beijing Tongren Hospital were enrolled for microarray analysis, including 28 males and 1 female, aged from 43 to 73 years old. Among them, 16 patients were sensitive to chemotherapy while 13 patients were non-sensitive. Illumina Human HT-12 Bead Chip was applied to analyze the gene expressions and online bioinformatics analysis was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes. Reverse transcription and quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to measure the mRNA expression of potential functional genes of TPF induction chemotherapy in 43 samples, 29 from original patients and 14 from additional patients. Graphpad prism 7.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 1 381 significantly differentially expressed genes were screened out. By GO analysis, up-regulated genes included sequestering in extracellular matrix, chemokine receptor binding and potassium channel regulator activity; down-regulated genes included regulation of angiogenesis, calcium ion binding and natural killer cell activation involved in immune response. With KEGG database analysis, down-regulated pathways included ECM-receptor interaction and peroxisome and up-regulated pathways included Glutathione metabolism and PPAR signaling pathway. The expressions of CD44 and IL-6R were significantly different and appeared biologically significant. CD44 was significantly upregulated in insensitive tissues (0.54±0.06) compared with sensitive tissues (0.33±0.04)(P<0.01). IL-6R was significantly downregulated in insensitive tissues (0.44±0.03) compared with sensitive tissues. (0.68±0.03) (P<0.01). Conclusion: CD44 and IL-6R may be potentially functional genes of TPF induction chemotherapy in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
It is well established that the ground states of a two-dimensional electron gas with half-filled high (N≥2) Landau levels are compressible charge-ordered states, known as quantum Hall stripe (QHS) phases. The generic features of QHSs are a maximum (minimum) in a longitudinal resistance R_{xx} (R_{yy}) and a nonquantized Hall resistance R_{H}. Here, we report on emergent minima (maxima) in R_{xx} (R_{yy}) and plateaulike features in R_{H} in half-filled N≥3 Landau levels. Remarkably, these unexpected features develop at temperatures considerably lower than the onset temperature of QHSs, suggestive of a new ground state.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of magnetic resonance (MR) intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion imaging and 3D pseudo continuous arterial spin labeling (3D-pcASL) perfusion imaging in the evaluation of acute cerebral infarction. Methods: MR images of 49 patients with unilateral acute cerebral infarction diagnosed and treated in Affiliated Yancheng Hospital of Southeast University Medical College from October 2015 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. High signal infarction area (S(D)) on diffusion image slice with the biggest lesion level and abnormal perfusion area (S(CBF)) on the corresponding level were measured. The presence of ischemic penumbra (IP) was represented by S(CBF)> S(D), and patients were divided into group IP and group non-IP. Regions of interest were set on the infarction core, brain tissue near the edge of the lesion (BNL) and their corresponding contralateral regions. The values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true diffusion coefficient (D), perfusion related diffusion coefficient (D(*)), perfusion fraction (f) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) of each region of interest were recorded and relative values of infarction lesion to its contralateral region (rADC, rD, rD(*), rf, rCBF) were calculated. Differences of each parameter value between infarction core, BNL and their corresponding contralateral regions and of each relative parameter value between infarction core and BNL, and between the two groups were compared.The differential diagnostic efficacy of relative parameter value with differences between groups was analyzed by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. The correlations of each relative parameter value of 3D-pcASL and IVIM sequences were analyzed. Results: The ADC, D, f and CBF values of infarction core were significantly lower than those of contralateral regions in both groups (all P<0.01). Among all parameters of BNL in both groups, only the CBF value of group IP was significantly lower than that of contralateral region ((27.58±3.53) vs (41.20±5.66) ml·100 g(-1)·min(-1), P<0.01). The rADC, rD, rf and rCBF of infarction core were significantly lower than those of BNL in both groups (all P<0.01). The rCBF of BNL in group IP was significantly lower than that in group non-IP (0.68±0.12 vs 0.97±0.15, P<0.01), and the area under the curve was 0.949, the optimal threshold was 0.823, and the youden index was 0.855 for identifying the two groups. Other relative parameters values of infarction core and BNL had no statistical difference between the two groups. There were positive correlations between rCBF and rADC, rD, rf (r=0.428,0.335,0.565) of infarction core, rADC and rD, rf (r=0.853,0.602) of infarction core, also rADC and rD (r=0.336) of BNL (all P<0.05). Conclusions: IVIM can effectively evaluate the difusion and perfusion information of acute cerebral infarction lesions. However, its perfusion related parameters are not as good as 3D-pcASL in IP evaluation, which should be flexibly selected according to the actual needs of patients' condition evaluation.

Abstract
Background Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with first-line anthracycline-based immunochemotherapy and remaining in remission at 2 years have excellent outcomes. This study assessed overall survival (OS) stratified by progression-free survival (PFS) at 24 months (PFS24) using individual patient data from patients with DLBCL enrolled in multi-center, international randomized clinical trials as part of the Surrogate Endpoint for Aggressive Lymphoma (SEAL) Collaboration. Patients and methods PFS24 was defined as being alive and PFS24 after study entry. OS from PFS24 was defined as time from identified PFS24 status until death due to any cause. OS was compared with each patient's age-, sex-, and country-matched general population using expected survival and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs). Results A total of 5853 patients enrolled in trials in the SEAL database received rituximab as part of induction therapy and were included in this analysis. The median age was 62 years (range 18-92), and 56% were greater than 60 years of age. At a median follow-up of 4.4 years, 1337 patients (23%) had disease progression, 1489 (25%) had died, and 5101 had sufficient follow-up to evaluate PFS24. A total of 1423 assessable patients failed to achieve PFS24 with a median OS of 7.2 months (95% CI 6.8-8.1) after progression; 5-year OS after progression was 19% and SMR was 32.1 (95% CI 30.0-34.4). A total of 3678 patients achieved PFS24; SMR after achieving PFS24 was 1.22 (95% CI 1.09-1.37). The observed OS versus expected OS at 3, 5, and 7 years after achieving PFS24 was 93.1% versus 94.4%, 87.6% versus 89.5%, and 80.0% versus 83.7%, respectively. Conclusion Patients treated with rituximab containing anthracycline-based immunochemotherapy on clinical trials who are alive without progression at 24 months from the onset of initial therapy have excellent outcomes with survival that is marginally lower but clinically indistinguishable from the age-, sex-, and country-matched background population for 7 years after achieving PFS24.

Abstract
Dietary protein restriction is one of the effective ways to reduce post-weaning diarrhoea and intestinal fermentation in piglets, but it may also reduce growth performance. The compensatory growth induced by subsequent protein realimentation may solve the issue. However, little research has been done on the impact of protein realimentation on the gut. In this study, the effects of protein restriction and realimentation on ileal morphology, ileal microbial composition and metabolites in weaned piglets were investigated. Thirty-six 28-day-old weaned piglets with an average body weight of 6.47 ± 0.04 kg were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group. The CP level in the diet of the control group was 18.83% for the entire experimental period. The piglets in the treatment group were fed 13.05% CP between days 0 and 14 and restored to a diet of 18.83% CP for days 14 to 28. On day 14 and 28, six pigs from each group were sacrificed and sampled. It was found that the abundance of Lactobacillus and Salmonella in the ileal digesta was significantly lower in the treatment group than the control group on day 14, whereas the abundance of Clostridium sensu stricto 1, Streptococcus, Halomonas and Pseudomonas significantly increased in the ileal digesta of the treatment group on day 14 compared with the control group. In addition, reduced concentrations of lactic acid, total short-chain fatty acids (total SCFAs), total branched chain fatty acids, ammonia and impaired ileal morphology and mucosal barrier were observed in the treatment group on day 14. However, diarrhoea levels decreased in the treatment group throughout the experiment. During the succedent protein realimentation stage, the treatment group demonstrated compensatory growth. Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed increased abundance of Lactobacillus and reduced abundance of Salmonella, Halomonas and Pseudomonas in the ileum on day 28. The concentrations of lactic acid and total SCFAs increased significantly, whereas the concentration of ammonia remained at a lower level in the treatment group on day 28 compared with the control group. Overall, protein realimentation could improve ileal morphology and barrier functions and promote ileal digestive and absorptive functions. In conclusion, ileal microbial composition and metabolites could change according to dietary protein restriction and realimentation and eventually influence ileal morphology and barrier functions.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the antiseptic effect of combined using of 5% sodium hypochlorite and calcium silicate-based root canal sealer against Enterococcus faecalis (Ef) biofilms in infected dentinal tubules in vitro. Methods: Cells of Ef were inoculated into the dentinal tubules of single-rooted teeth (without caries, periapical lesions and malformations extracted due to periodontal disease or orthodontic reasons; collected from Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University) with centrifugation and incubated in brain-heart infusion (BHI) to form 3-week-old biofilms. The infected samples were subjected to sodium hypochlorite or sterile water bathing for 10 minutes followed by calcium silicate-based root canal sealer (iRoot SP) (calcium silicate-based group), Gutta-percha group and sterile water group placed on the root canal wall for 1, 4 and 12 weeks. There were two samples in each treatment at each point. The antiseptic effectiveness of combined use of sodium hypochlorite and calcium silicate-based root canal sealer was analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), ANOVA and LSD-t test. Results: After treatment with 5% sodium hypochlorite, in calcium silicate-based group for 4 and 12 weeks more Ef biofilm cells [(75.3±3.5)% and (74.8±3.8)%] were killed than in Gutta-percha group [(65.9±4.1)% and (63.0±3.7)%] and sterile water group [(63.9±4.0)% and (64.2±3.5)%] (P<0.05). After being treated with sterile water, the proportion of dead bacterial cells in calcium silicate-based group for 1, 4 and 12 weeks [(27.5±4.6)%, (43.0±4.4)% and (40.3±6.1)%] were more than those in Gutta-percha group and sterile water group (P<0.05). After being treated with 5% sodium hypochlorite or sterile water, more biofilm bacteria were killed in calcium silicate-based group for 4 and 12 weeks than in calcium silicate-based group for 1 week (P<0.05). Conclusions: The combined use of sodium hypochlorite and calcium silicate-based root canal sealer kills more biofilm cells in infected dentinal tubules.

Abstract
Objective: To observe whether the history of solid tumors affects the treatment response and survival situation of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) . Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 836 patients with DLBCL who were treated in the Department of Hematology at Ruijin Hospital from 2013 to 2018. Among them, 34 DLBCL patients who had the history of solid tumors were classified into double cancer group. From 802 patients without history of solid tumors, 68 DLBCL patients were selected as control group, using 1∶2 matching on propensity scores for age, gender, IPI score and etc. All patients included in the study had follow-up interviews through medical record and telephone for mortality from any cause. Treatment response and 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of two groups were analyzed. Results: The complete remission rates after RCHOP (Rituximab+Cyclophosphamide+Vincristine+Adriamycin 50 mg/m(2) or Epirubicin or Liposome Adriamycin+Prednisone) regimen were 79.4% and 67.6% in the double cancer group and the control group, respectively (P=0.210) . Among the 102 patients, 6 patients died in the double cancer group while 24 patients died in the control group and the median survival time of both two groups were not reached. The 3-year OS were (74.7±9.5) % and (63.5±6.1) % (χ(2)=2.791, P=0.095) , while 3-year PFS were (72.1±8.8) % and (54.3±6.4) % (χ(2)=1.400, P=0.237) in the double cancer group and the control group, respectively. Conclusion: The history of solid tumors didn't affect DLBCL patients' treatment response and short-term survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to investigate the activity of ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and identify the resistance mechanisms before CAZ/AVI coming to Chinese market. METHODS Clinical CRKP isolates were continuously collected from 36 tertiary hospitals in China from 1 March 2017 to 31 July 2017. CAZ/AVI MICs were determined by agar dilution method. CAZ/AVI resistant isolates were submitted to whole genome sequencing. The copy number and relative expression of blaKPC were determined by quantitative PCR. RESULTS A total of 872 CRKP isolates were collected, and MIC50 and MIC90 of CAZ/AVI were 4 and 8 mg/L. The resistant rate of CAZ/AVI was 3.7% (32/872). Among the resistant isolates, 53.1% (17/32) were metallo-β-lactamase-producing K. pneumoniae (MBL-KP), 40.6% (13/32) were Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) and 6.3% (2/32) produced both MBL and KPC. One of the KPC-KP with high level CAZ/AVI resistance (>128 mg/L) harboured mutated blaKPC-2 (D179Y). In 12 wild-type blaKPC-2 isolates, the relative copy number and expression of blaKPC-2 gene were 2.5-fold and 2.7-fold higher than that in the CAZ/AVI MIC ≤0.5 mg/L group (p < 0.05), and when added avibactam at a fixed concentration of 8 mg/L, 91.7% (11/12) isolates could restore susceptibility. CONCLUSIONS Resistance against CAZ/AVI in CRKP emerged before clinical use of CAZ/AVI in China, although most of the CRKP isolates maintained the susceptibility. MBL production, blaKPC-2 point mutation and high KPC expression played an important role in CAZ/AVI resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microsatellite instable/deficient mismatch repair (MSI/dMMR) metastatic colorectal cancers have been reported to have a poor prognosis. Frequent co-occurrence of MSI/dMMR and BRAFV600E complicates the association. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with resected stage III colon cancer (CC) from seven adjuvant studies with available data for disease recurrence and MMR and BRAFV600E status were analyzed. The primary end point was survival after recurrence (SAR). Associations of markers with SAR were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, gender, performance status, T stage, N stage, primary tumor location, grade, KRAS status, and timing of recurrence. RESULTS Among 2630 patients with cancer recurrence (1491 men [56.7%], mean age, 58.5 [19-85] years), multivariable analysis revealed that patients with MSI/dMMR tumors had significantly longer SAR than did patients with microsatellite stable/proficient MMR tumors (MSS/pMMR) (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.82; 95% CI [confidence interval], 0.69-0.98; P = 0.029). This finding remained when looking at patients treated with standard oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy regimens only (aHR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.58-1.00; P = 0.048). Same trends for SAR were observed when analyzing MSI/dMMR versus MSS/pMMR tumor subgroups lacking BRAFV600E (aHR, 0.84; P = 0.10) or those harboring BRAFV600E (aHR, 0.88; P = 0.43), without reaching statistical significance. Furthermore, SAR was significantly shorter in tumors with BRAFV600E versus those lacking this mutation (aHR, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.73-2.46; P < 0.0001), even in the subgroup of MSI/dMMR tumors (aHR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.67-4.21; P < 0.0001). Other factors associated with a shorter SAR were as follows: older age, male gender, T4/N2, proximal primary tumor location, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and early recurrence. CONCLUSIONS In stage III CC patients recurring after adjuvant chemotherapy, and before the era of immunotherapy, the MSI/dMMR phenotype was associated with a better SAR compared with MSS/pMMR. BRAFV600E mutation was a poor prognostic factor for both MSI/dMMR and MSS/pMMR patients.

Abstract
Activated platelets have a high affinity for tumor cells, and consequently, they can protect tumor cells from environmental stress and immune attacks. Therefore, preventing platelet-tumor cell interaction can lead to the elimination of circulating tumor cells via natural killer cells and finally metastasis inhibition. It is also shown that CREKA (Cys-Arg-Glu-Lys-Ala), a tumor-homing pentapeptide, targets fibrin-fibronectin complexes that are found on the tumor stroma and the vessel walls. In this study, we linked CREKA to Ticagrelor, a reversible antagonist of the P2Y12 receptor on platelets. In vitro experiments indicated that CREKA-Ticagrelor could not only inhibit the platelet-induced migration of tumor cells with an invasive phenotype but also prevent tumor-platelet interaction. In vivo antitumor and antimetastasis results of this drug showed that CREKA-Ticagrelor could specifically target the tumor tissues within 24 h post intravenous injection and suppress lung metastasis. Meanwhile, by having this antiplatelet drug targeted, its side effects were minimized, and bleeding risk was decreased. Thus, CREKA-Ticagrelor offers an efficient antimetastatic agent.

Abstract
Due to chemoresistance and metastasis, the overall prognosis of osteosarcoma (OS) has not improved over the last two decades. Exploring novel therapeutic agents that can circumvent theses malignant phenotypes of OS would be essential to improve the survival of OS patients. Triptolide is a unique diterpene triepoxide that possesses potent antitumor activities.However, the effects and mechanism of triptolide on OS cells remain unknown. The effects of triptolide on viability, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution and migratory ability of OS cells were measured using MTT, flow cytometry and wound healing and transwell invasion assays. And an OS tumor xenograft mouse model was produced to further study the in vivo antitumor effects of triptolide. The expression of DUSP1 at the protein and mRNA level in OS cells was detected by western blot and qPCR. We report that triptolide exhibits multidimensional antitumor activities in OS cells, including the induction of apoptosis and G1 phase accumulation, inhibition of cell viability, migration, and invasion. We further demonstrate that triptolide inhibits the expression of dual-specificity protein phosphatase1 (DUSP1) through inhibiting its promoter activity, which causes sustained activation of three subfamilies of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). And the modulation of DUSP1/MAPK cascade is associated with the apoptosis of OS cells, since the ectopic expression of DUSP1 or the inhibition of MAPK using specific inhibitors can counteract triptolide-induced apoptosis. In addition, triptolide enhances doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. In summary, our study suggests that DUSP1 is an important cellular target of triptolide, and triptolide may be a promising treatment option for OS as a single agent or combined with other chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Context Peripheral nerve lesions are a major complication of diabetes mellitus, the main clinical manifestations of which are numbness and pain involving the limbs. Objective To determine the correlation between pregabalin treatment and diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. Design An experimental animal study in BALB/c mice. Subjects and Methods Diabetes models are established by injecting streptozotocin (STZ) into the abdominal cavities of mice. The correlation between the treatment effect, time, and dosage of pregabalin was determined. The effect of a type 1 organic cation transporter (Octn1) in the absorption of pregabalin was evaluated. Results Pregabalin reduced tactile allodynia in diabetic mice. The best analgesic effect occurred when intestinal absorption was increased. Octn1 mediated pregabalin entry into intestinal epithelial cells, which influenced the absorption of pregabalin with a time-dependent fluctuation in the small intestine. Peripheral nerve damage caused by diabetes was dependent on time and dose of pregabalin, which was related to the regular expression of Octn1 in small intestinal epithelium. Conclusions Peripheral nerve damage caused by diabetes was dependent on time and dosage of pregabalin, which was related to the regular expression of Octn1 in small intestinal epithelium.
