Abstract
BACKGROUND A congenital lung malformation (CLM) that is diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound exam may subsequently become undetectable on later scans, a "vanishing" CLM. OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study is to characterize the prenatal natural history and postnatal outcomes of "vanishing" lesions treated at our institution. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of 107 patients diagnosed prenatally with CLM at our institution. Comparisons were made using Kruskal-Wallis or t-test for continuous variables and Fisher's exact test or Chi-Square test for categorical variables. Multivariable analysis using logistic regression was performed. RESULTS Of the 104 patients, 59 (56.7%) had lesions that became sonographically undetectable on serial ultrasound scans. Patients with lesions that vanished prenatally tended to need less Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admission at birth (persistent CLM: 54.8%vs vanished CLM: 28.8%), decreased need for supplemental O2 at birth (persistent CLM: 31.0%vs vanished CLM: 11.9%), and decreased delay in feeds (persistent CLM: 26.2%vs vanished CLM: 8.5%) compared to those with persistent CLM. After multivariate analysis controlling for maternal steroid administration and sex, admission to NICU maintained a slight statistical significance, with patients in the vanishing CLM group 2.5 times less likely to be admitted to the NICU. None of our patients whose lesions vanished prenatally required mechanical ventilation. Eighty-six patients underwent postnatal computed tomography (CT) chest. Only 2 patients had lesions that regressed on postnatal CT. CONCLUSION Lesions that vanish on prenatal imaging may be associated with improved clinical outcomes. The rate of true regression at our institution was as low as 2.3%.

Abstract
Isoreticular functionalization is a well-elucidated strategy for pore environment tuning and the basis of gas separation performance in extended frameworks. The extension of this approach to discrete porous molecules such as metal-organic cages (MOCs) is conceptually straightforward but hindered by synthetic complications, especially stability concerns. We report the successful isoreticular functionalization of a zirconium MOC with tetrazole moiety by bottom-up synthesis. The title compound (ZrT-1-tetrazol) shows promising C2 H2 /CO2 and C2 H2 /C2 H4 separation performance, as demonstrated by adsorption isotherms, breakthrough experiments, and density functional theory calculations. The design analogy between MOFs and highly stable MOCs may guide the synthesis of novel porous materials for challenging separation applications.

Abstract
Regulating the structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by adjusting the ligands reasonably is expected to enhance the interaction of MOFs on special molecules/ions, which has significant application value for the selective adsorption of guest molecules. Herein, two tricarboxylic ligands H3 L-Cl and H3 L-NH2 were designed and synthesized based on the ligand H3 TTCA by replacing part of the benzene rings with C=C bonds and modifying the chlorine and amino groups on the 4-position of the benzene ring. Two 3D Fe-MOFs (UPC-60-Cl and UPC-60-NH2 ) with the new topology types were constructed. As the C=C bonds of the ligands have flexible torsion angles, UPC-60-Cl features three types of irregular 2D channels, while UPC-60-NH2 has a cage with two types of windows on the surface. The synergistic effect of unique channels and modification of functional groups endows UPC-60-Cl and UPC-60-NH2 with high adsorption capacity for organic dyes. Compound UPC-60-Cl shows high adsorption capacity for CV (147.2 mg g-1 ), RHB (100.3 mg g-1 ), and MO (220.9 mg g-1 ), whereas UPC-60-NH2 exhibits selective adsorption of MO (158.7 mg g-1 ). Meanwhile, based on the diverse pore structure and modification of active sites, UPC-60-Cl and UPC-60-NH2 show the selective separation of equimolar C2 H2 /CO2 . Therefore, reasonable regulation of organic ligands plays a significant role in guiding the structure diversification and performance improvement of MOFs.

Abstract
Epidemiological analysis describes and compares the characteristics of a certain number of people to make causal inferences. The formation of the study population is always the first step. In this paper, we first define the concepts of cross-sections at both individual level and population level and introduce the three assumptions needed in the measurements in observational studies, i. e. the true values of the attributes are stable with time, the attribute variables are independent and the individuals are independent during the measuring process. We also determine that the causal inference research should be unified based on the time of the occurrence or beginning of a postulated cause, or exposure, should be in. Then, based on the dual roles of the population cross-section with causal thinking, we propose that research designs can be classified into two types with different characteristics: history reconstruction research and future exploration research. Finally, we briefly analyze the research design framework and the relationship between estimated effects and different designs. The discussion of the formation of a study population from the perspective of causal thinking can make a foundation for the classification of causal inference research design with appropriate effect parameters, which needs to be further studied.

A S-Shaped Association of Distal Oversizing Ratio with Distal Stent-Graft-Induced New Entry Following Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Stanford B Aortic Dissection. Ann Vasc Surg 2021; 77:54-62. [PMID: 34175415 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2021.04.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2020] [Revised: 03/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate the nonlinear association of the distal oversizing ratio with distal stent-graft-induced new entry (dSINE) following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B aortic dissection (TBAD) and to find the optimal value of the distal oversizing ratio for prevention strategy of dSINE. METHODS Total of 177 patients who underwent TEVAR for TBAD from the Registry Of type B aortic dissection with the Utility of STent graft were retrospectively investigated. Patients were stratified into two groups on the median distal oversizing ratio: lower group (≤16%, n = 88) and higher group (>16%, n = 89). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of dSINE. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify the association of the distal oversizing ratio with dSINE. Restricted cubic smoothing spline plots and two-piecewise regression were used to analyze the possible nonlinear association. RESULTS Eleven patients developed dSINE (6.21%) during the median follow-up time of 12.37 months (interquartile range, 8.07-18.17 months). An S-shaped association of the distal oversizing ratio with dSINE was identified. When the distal oversizing ratio was ≤40%, the risk of dSINE increased with distal oversizing ratio, and the risk of dSINE was highest when the distal oversizing ratio reached 40% (adjusted HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02-1.17; P = 0.011). A larger distal oversizing ratio over 40% did not generate a greater risk of dSINE (adjusted HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.87-1.05; P = 0.455). CONCLUSIONS This study substantiated previous findings that the dSINE was associated with the increasing distal oversizing ratio. We also found an S-shaped association between the distal oversizing ratio and dSINE after TEVAR for TBAD. The distal oversizing ratio of 40% can be used for stratified management of patients who underwent TEVAR for TBAD.

Abstract
Using combined data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion and Large Hadron Colliders, we constrain the shear and bulk viscosities of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at temperatures of ∼150-350 MeV. We use Bayesian inference to translate experimental and theoretical uncertainties into probabilistic constraints for the viscosities. With Bayesian model averaging we propagate an estimate of the model uncertainty generated by the transition from hydrodynamics to hadron transport in the plasma's final evolution stage, providing the most reliable phenomenological constraints to date on the QGP viscosities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was performed to assess the association between the dissection length-to-descending thoraco-abdominal aorta length ratio (LLR) and abdominal aortic enlargement (AAE) (≥20% increase in total abdominal aortic volume) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with type B aortic dissection. METHODS We retrospectively analysed data from 184 consecutive patients with type B aortic dissection who underwent TEVAR from January 2011 to December 2016 at 4 hospitals as part of the Registry Of type B aortic dissection with Utility of STent graft study. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography angiography images were reviewed to assess the LLR and AAE. Patients were stratified into tertiles according to the pre-TEVAR LLR: 0.7 to <1.0 (n = 61), 1.0 to <1.2 (n = 61) and 1.2 to <1.6 (n = 62). The thoracic and abdominal aorta were divided by the celiac trunk. The cumulative incidence of AAE was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the independent association between the preoperative LLR and the post-TEVAR risk of AAE. The nonlinear relationship between the LLR and the risk of post-TEVAR AAE was fitted by the restricted cubic smoothing spline, and the inflection point on the fitting curve was determined using a piecewise linear regression model. RESULTS Baseline demographics, clinical features, preoperative anatomic characteristics and implanted devices were similarly distributed among the pre-TEVAR LLR tertile groups. At 24 months post-TEVAR, the estimated cumulative incidence of AAE significantly differed (P < 0.01) by LLR tertile group: 0.10 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.00-0.21], 0.65 (95% CI 0.45-0.78) and 0.67 (95% CI 0.40-0.82), respectively. The pre-TEVAR LLR was an independent predictor of post-TEVAR AAE [hazard ratio (per unit increase) 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.04] following a nonlinear relationship with an inflection point at LLR = 1.0. CONCLUSIONS The risk of post-TEVAR AAE is highest when the length of the dissection is greater than or equal to the length of the descending aorta (LLR ≥ 1.0).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To discuss the effect of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-34 on the lens epithelial cell functions in the cataract rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Differentially expressed miRNAs in the lens epithelial cells of the cataract rats were screened out by analyzing microarrays. The lens epithelial cells of the cataract rats transfected with miR-34 mimics were set as transfection group. Cells with silenced transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) using RepSox were regarded as the transfection + inhibitor group, and the cells transfected with NC constituted control group. Relative expressions of miR-34, key genes in the TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway and apoptosis-related proteins [B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), Bcl-2 associated K protein (Bak), caspase-9 and surviving] in the control group, transfection group, and transfection + inhibitor group were detected. The proportions of apoptotic cells in the three groups were determined via flow cytometry. RESULTS The differentially expressed miRNAs in the lens epithelial cells of the cataract rats included miR-5, miR-128, etc. Among the tested miRNAs, miR-34 presented remarkably downregulated expression [log2 fold change (FC) =-2.11, p=0.000]. After the lens epithelial cells of the cataract rats were transfected with miR-34 mimics, the expression of miR-34 was evidently elevated (p=0.000), while the expressions of TGF-β, Smad1, and Smad3 were significantly up-regulated. Following the treatment with the TGF-β inhibitor RepSox, the expressions of TGF-β, Smad1, and Smad3 were downregulated. After transfection of miR-34 mimics in lens epithelial cells of the cataract rats, upregulated Bax and Bak, downregulated Bcl-2 and surviving, and elevated apoptosis rate were observed. After the TGF-β inhibitor RepSox was added, the expressions of Bax and Bak declined prominently, while those of Bcl-2 and survivin were on the contrary, manifesting a declining cell apoptosis rate. The expression of caspase-9 had no significant change among the three groups. The proportion of apoptotic cells in control group, transfection group, and transfection + inhibitor group was 2.33%, 38.14%, and 16.88%, respectively, displaying differences among the three groups (p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS MiR-34 can promote the apoptosis in lens epithelial cells of cataract rats via the TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity from aspirin is high at the time of initiation of therapy.
Objective
The current analysis aimed to determine rates of endoscopically detected gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers after 7 days of either immediate release aspirin (IR-ASA) or a novel, pharmaceutical lipid-aspirin complex (PL-ASA) liquid formulation that has an antiplatelet effect similar to IR-ASA.
Methods
Two randomized, single blind, multicenter active control studies comparing upper GI damage after 7 days of 325 mg PL-ASA or IR-ASA in healthy volunteers not taking a gastroprotectant and who had a negative baseline endoscopy were pooled at the patient level. The primary outcome was the composite of >5 erosions and/or ≥1 ulcer (≥3 mm deep) assessed by a treatment-blinded reviewer at repeat endoscopy on day 7.
Results
Out of 451 randomized subjects (mean age 57 years, 47% males), 441 completed the 7-day endoscopy and represent the full analysis set. PL-ASA significantly reduced the primary outcome by 34% compared with IR-ASA (25.7% vs. 39%, p=0.0032) (figure). Notably, for ulcers there was a 61% reduction with PL-ASA (6.0% vs. 14.8%, p=0.0018) (Figure 1). The mean number of gastric erosions per patient was also reduced with PL-ASA (2.8±7.3 vs. 4.2±7.5, p<0.0001), while erosions in the duodenum were not different (1.4±7.1 vs. 0.9±2.3, p=0.45).
Conclusion
The novel PL-ASA liquid capsules reduced rates of GI injury compared with IR-ASA tablets. The combination of reliable platelet inhibition with less GI injury makes PL-ASA an attractive new aspirin therapy option.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Caution is necessary when using symptom or physical examination findings to localize the osteoporotic vertebral fractures (VFs) attributable to the discrepant colocalized relationship. INTRODUCTION Whether the location of symptoms or physical examination findings delineates the appropriate spinal range for imaging has not been thoroughly investigated for VFs. The present study aims to analyze the consistency between the fractural vertebrae location and the location suggested by patient-reported pain or physical examination findings. METHODS This observational study, following a prospective design, enrolled 358 patients with VFs. The locations of two symptoms (patient-reported back pain [P-RBP], radiating pain [RP]) and findings from two physical examinations (spinal palpation tenderness [SPT], axial spinal percussion pain [ASPP]) were used to locate the VF segments identified using whole-spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The percentage of agreements and kappa coefficient were calculated. RESULTS In 20.7% (74/358), the P-RBP site and VF segments were in the same location (kappa = 0.153); 21.2% (76/358) presented with concomitant RP in 93.4% (71/76) of whom the RP dermatome was colocalized with the VF segments (kappa = 0.924); 55.0% (197/358) and 23.2% (83/358) of patients presented with positive SPT and ASPP, respectively; and in 49.2% (97/197) and 96.4% (80/83) of patients with positive SPT (kappa = 0.435) and ASPP (kappa = 0.963), the positive finding and the VF segments were consistently colocalized. CONCLUSIONS The positive finding of RP or ASPP is useful in determining the spinal range for imaging tests, while an MRI scan covering the whole thoracic and lumbar spine is necessary in VF-suspected patients with P-RBP or positive SPT, indicating that caution is necessary when using symptoms or physical examination findings to localize VFs.
