Abstract
The visible world is founded on the proton, the only composite building block of matter that is stable in nature. Consequently, understanding the formation of matter relies on explaining the dynamics and the properties of the proton's bound state. A fundamental property of the proton involves the response of the system to an external electromagnetic field. It is characterized by the electromagnetic polarizabilities1 that describe how easily the charge and magnetization distributions inside the system are distorted by the electromagnetic field. Moreover, the generalized polarizabilities2 map out the resulting deformation of the densities in a proton subject to an electromagnetic field. They disclose essential information about the underlying system dynamics and provide a key for decoding the proton structure in terms of the theory of the strong interaction that binds its elementary quark and gluon constituents. Of particular interest is a puzzle in the electric generalized polarizability of the proton that remains unresolved for two decades2. Here we report measurements of the proton's electromagnetic generalized polarizabilities at low four-momentum transfer squared. We show evidence of an anomaly to the behaviour of the proton's electric generalized polarizability that contradicts the predictions of nuclear theory and derive its signature in the spatial distribution of the induced polarization in the proton. The reported measurements suggest the presence of a new, not-yet-understood dynamical mechanism in the proton and present notable challenges to the nuclear theory.

Abstract
Superior mediastinal lymph node metastases in papillary thyroid cancer are uncommon. The clinical characteristics and surgical strategy of superior mediastinal lymph node metastases remain unclear. Superior mediastinal lymphadenectomy can be accomplished either by a transcervical or transsternal approach. Transsternal approach for superior mediastinal lymphadenectomy can cause great damage; transcervical approach sometimes results in inadequate exposure. Here we report our experience of a papillary thyroid cancer patient with superior mediastinal lymph node metastases who underwent video-assisted superior mediastinal lymphadenectomy. A 49-year-old woman diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer in left thyroid underwent unilateral lobectomy and ipsilateral central and lateral node dissection in the local hospital 4 years ago. Currently lymph node metastases were found in mediastinum and the right neck, some of which were adjacent to the right innominate vein. Unilateral lobectomy, ipsilateral central and lateral node dissection, and video-assisted superior mediastinal lymphadenectomy were successfully performed by transcervical approach. Subsequently, the patient received thyroxine suppression therapy and adjuvant radioiodine treatment. Video-assisted superior mediastinal lymphadenectomy, providing adequate exposure for a complete superior mediastinal lymphadenectomy, is proved to be safe and feasible.

Abstract
We report a precise measurement of the parity-violating (PV) asymmetry A_{PV} in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from ^{48}Ca. We measure A_{PV}=2668±106(stat)±40(syst) parts per billion, leading to an extraction of the neutral weak form factor F_{W}(q=0.8733 fm^{-1})=0.1304±0.0052(stat)±0.0020(syst) and the charge minus the weak form factor F_{ch}-F_{W}=0.0277±0.0055. The resulting neutron skin thickness R_{n}-R_{p}=0.121±0.026(exp)±0.024(model) fm is relatively thin yet consistent with many model calculations. The combined CREX and PREX results will have implications for future energy density functional calculations and on the density dependence of the symmetry energy of nuclear matter.

Abstract
AIM To explore the value of preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) tumour texture characteristics, and clinical and laboratory parameters on the prognosis of curative resection for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 64 patients (34 men and 30 women) with NSCLC who underwent curative resection and were then followed up for 5 years or until death. Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT images, clinical features, and laboratory parameters were collected for these patients. CT texture features of the primary tumour before surgery were extracted from the contrast-enhanced CT images using ImageJ software. Based on the cut-off values determined by X-tile software, the preoperative CT texture features, clinical features, and laboratory parameters were divided into two groups. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests were used to compare the 5-year overall survival (OS) of patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine the independent factors influencing the prognosis. RESULTS The mean survival was 51.5 months. Tumour volume, entropy, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) were shown to be significantly associated with 5-year OS (p<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that entropy was the independent factor of prognosis (hazard ratio 4.375, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.646-11.620, p=0.003). CONCLUSION Entropy is an important and potentially non-invasive imaging biomarker for predicting the prognosis of NSCLC undergoing curative resection.

Abstract
The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is often used in the treatment of heart failure. However, 4% to 9% implanted LVAD will have thrombosis problem in one year, which is fatal to the patient's life. In this work, an interventional sonothrombolysis (IST) method is developed to realize the thrombolysis on LVAD. A pair of ultrasound transducer rings is installed on the shell of LVAD, and drug-loaded microbubbles are injected into the LVAD through the interventional method. The microbubbles are adhere on the thrombus with the coated thrombus-targeted drugs, and the thrombolytic drugs carried by the bubbles are brought into the thrombus by the cavitation of bubbles under the ultrasound. In a proof-of-concept experiment in a live sheep model, the thrombus on LVAD is dissolved in 30 min, without damages on LVADs and organs. This IST exhibits to be more efficient and safer compared with other thrombolysis methods on LVAD.

Abstract
To analyze the changes of coagulation function in severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and its relationship with thrombocytopenia, and to explore its value as an early predictor of the severity of SFTS. The clinical data of 428 SFTS patients (70 deaths and 358 survivors) admitted to the Department of Infectious Disease at Wuhan Union Hospital from January 2014 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The differences of coagulation parameters and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) scores between the two groups were compared. The results showed that abnormal coagulation function was commonly presented in SFTS patients. Bleeding was more frequent in mortality group (41.4% vs. 26.5%). The D-dimer levels in mortality patients were significantly higher above normal range. Activated partial thrombin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT) were significantly prolonged. The levels of prothrombin time (PT), TT, APTT, international standardized ratio (INR) and D-dimer between mortality group and survival group started to separate from day 5-6. The difference of fibrinogen (FIB) level developed on day 7-8, while platelet counts between the two groups were significant different from day 9-10. The mortality rate increased according to the increase of baseline DIC score. When DIC score reached 6, the mortality rate surged to 66.67%. Excessive platelet consumption is mediated by significant coagulation abnormalities during disease course, and coagulation parameters are more sensitive than platelet count as an early predictor of severe SFTS.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the the pregnancy outcome after laparoscopy treatment for subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities and the factors related with natural pregnancy.
Summary answer
The natural pregnancy rate is 46.58% after laparoscopy and patients' age, duration time of infertility and concurrent number of abnormalities are related with natural pregnancy.
What is known already
Subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities are a group of diseases that are characterized by subtle variations in tubal anatomy including fimbrial agglutination, tubal diverticula, accessory ostium, fimbrial phimosis, and accessory fallopian tube. The prevalence of subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities is high in infertile women.This group of diseases is highly related to endometriosis, especially its early stage, and may indicate fimbrial abnormalities in endometriosis.
Study design, size, duration
This was a prospective cohort study conducted in the Reproductive Medicine Center of an university-affiliated teaching hospital from January 2017 to December 2018.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
234 patients with subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities were included. Laparoscopies were performed by four senior reproductive surgeons who were familiar with the diagnostic criteria and surgery treatment for subtle abnormalities. The fallopian tube abnormalities were corrected and endometriosis was treated by either electrical ablation for peritoneal lesions or endometrioma excision.The participants were followed up by phone every 12 months for pregnancy outcome until 36 months after surgery.
Main results and the role of chance
167 patients conceived after surgery(clinical pregnancy rate 71.37%). 109 patients conceived naturally (natural pregnancy rate 46.58%) and 59 patients conceived after in IVF(One case conceived naturally after live birth after IVF, four cases conceived naturally twice) . The average time for natural conception after surgery is 8.36±7.47 months. 51.4% of natural pregnancy occurred within 6 months and 79.8% occurred within 12 months.Among the 109 naturally conceived patients, there were 94 cases of live birth, 13 cases of natural abortion (natural abortion rate 11.92%) and 2 cases of ectopic pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy rate 1.83%). No preterm birth, multiple pregnancy or birth defects were reported in this group.The patient age(HR = 0.917,95%CI 0.870-0.917,P=0.001), duration of infertility(HR = 0.846,95%CI 0.740-0.966,P=0.014) and concurrent number of subtle abnormalities (HR = 0.636,95%CI 0.416-0.970,P=0.036) are the factors associated with natural pregnancy. The type of subtle abnormalities, type of infertility, body mess index, concurrent endometriosis, uterine cavity abnormalities and myoma are not related with natural pregnancy.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Not all kinds of subtle distal abnormalities are included such as paratubal cyst is excluded from the study. Not all the patients had the test of ovarian reserve such as AMH, antral follicle count and FSH level, so we couldn’t evaluate the relationship between ovarian reserve and natural pregnancy.
Wider implications of the findings
This is the largest clinical study that investigated the pregnancy outcome of subtle fallopian tube abnormalities in the infertile population.Laparoscopy surgery is an effective treatment for infertility patients with subtle distal fallopian tube abnormalities, especially for the young, short duration time of infertility and ≤2 types of subtle abnormalities.

Abstract
Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance frequently occurs in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EGFR Thr790Met mutation (T790M+) is seen in ∼50% of patients. We assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BPI-15086, a novel, ATP-competitive, irreversible, third-generation, mutation-selective EGFR-TKI in patients with EGFR T790M-mutated NSCLC. Patients and methods This two-center, phase I, dose-escalation study included patients who were 18-65 years old, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic T790M+ NSCLC who were not surgical or radiotherapy candidates, and had imaging-identified disease progression after prior EGFR-TKIs. This dose-escalation study enrolled patients using a 3 + 3 study design. Patients received 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mg/day orally in 21-day cycles. The primary endpoints were safety, tolerability, and PK. Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). The dose-expansion study was not conducted. Results We enrolled 17 patients from 29 December 2016 to 16 May 2018, in the safety and full analysis sets. All patients completed a single dosing trial, and no adverse events (AEs) causing drug discontinuation were seen. Grade 1-2 nausea, hypoalbuminemia, and decreased appetite were the most common treatment-related AEs. Grade 3 hyperglycemia was seen in one patient dosed at 300 mg/day. The ORR and DCR were 17.7% [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.8% to 43.4%] and 47.1% (95% CI 23.0% to 72.2%), respectively. Conclusion BPI-15086 is a safe and tolerable third-generation EGFR-TKI with a rationale for further clinical studies. BPI-15086 is safe and has partial effectiveness in patients with advanced T790M+ NSCLC after previous EGFR-TKI therapy. A different safety profile for BPI-15086 compared with other third-generation EGFR-TKIs. The modest efficacy in this study is still deemed important and should be added to the literature of third-generation TKIs.

Abstract
BackgroundFew data on the prolonged diagnosis and its associated factors in Chinese axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is available.ObjectivesTo delineate the landscape of diagnostic delay in Chinese axSpA, investigate its associated factors and explore its potential impact on medication modalities.MethodsA total of 1,295 patients fulfilling the ASAS classification criteria were obtained. Demographic and clinical data were collected through predesigned questionnaires and available medical records. Logistic regression analyses in univariate and multivariable model were performed, using the median of diagnostic delay as cut-off point for group classification. Differences between early and late diagnosed group were subsequently compared by the Pearson chi-square test or Mann-Whitney U test.ResultsThe median (IQR) diagnostic delay in Chinese axSpA was 3.0 (1.0~7.0) years and 24.8% of them reported a history of misdiagnosis. Older age at onset (OR=0.97, P<0.001) and higher education attainment (P=0.001) were correlated with early diagnosis of axSpA, whereas coming from less developed areas (P=0.002), a history of peripheral arthritis at the time of diagnosis (OR=1.58, P=0.002) and history of misdiagnosis (OR=1.98, P<0.001) increased the risk of diagnostic delay. Medication modalities were similar between two groups, but the proportion with no medication ever and percentage without regular medication in recent 3 months were higher in the late diagnosed group than early group (26.5% vs. 20.7%, P=0.02; 34.7% vs. 28.6%, P=0.02).ConclusionOur findings depicted a detailed spectrum of diagnostic delay in Chinese axSpA, verified five associated factors and pinpointed a remarkable treatment delay even after diagnosis, especially in late diagnosis group.References[1]Masson Behar V, Dougados M, Etcheto A, Kreis S, Fabre S, Hudry C, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that leads to joint damage, systemic inflammation and early mortality. Though the precise molecular mechanism in the triggering immune response are not fully understood, the emergence of antibodies against self-antigens can serve as diagnostic biomarker. Multiple antigens have been confirmed. However, the profiling of serum antigen, antigenome, remains poorly known.ObjectivesThe study aimed to investigate the serum antigenomic profiling and determine potential diagnostic biomarkers using label-free proteomic technology implemented with machine-learning algorithm.MethodsWe captured serum antigens from a cohort consisting of 60 RA patients (45 ACPA-positive RA patients and 15 ACPA-negative RA patients), sex- and age-matched 30 osteoarthritis patients and 30 healthy controls. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was performed. We then trained a machine learning model to classify RA, ACPA-positive RA and ACPA-negative RA based on proteomic data and validated in the cohort.ResultsWe identified 62, 71 and 49 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in RA, ACPA-positive RA and ACPA-negative RA respectively, compared to OA and healthy controls. Among these DEPs, the pathway enrichment analysis and protein-protein interactions networks were conducted. Three panels were constructed to classify RA, ACPA-positive RA and ACPA-negative RA using random forest models algorithm based on the molecular signature of DEPs, whose area under curve (AUC) were calculated as 0.9949 (95% CI = 0.9792-1), 0.9913 (95%CI = 0.9653-1) and 1.0 (95% CI = 1-1).ConclusionThis study presented serum antigen profiling of RA. Among them, three panels of antigens were identified to classify RA, ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative RA patients as diagnostic biomarkers.References[1]Smolen JS, Aletaha D, McInnes IB.

Abstract
Objective: To retrospectively analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of liver function changes in 111 elderly patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods: 111 elderly patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from February 5 to March 3, 2020 were enrolled. According to the severity of disease and liver function condition, they were divided into severe group (n=40), normal group (n=71), abnormal liver function group (n=86) and normal liver function group (n=25). The indexes related to liver function changes [total bilirubin (TBil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT)] and related influencing factors were analyzed. Results: Among 111 cases, 86 (77.5%) had abnormal liver function of varying degrees, and 28 (25.2%) had liver injury. The abnormal rates of TBil, AST, ALP and GGT were significantly higher in the severe group than normal group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in age, ribavirin, glucocorticoid and the application of lopinavir-ritonavir tablets between the abnormal liver function and the normal group (P>0.05). The proportion of male was significantly higher in the abnormal liver function than normal liver function group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Elderly COVID-19 patients have a higher proportion of abnormal liver function, and patients in the severe group are more likely to have higher level of TB, AST, ALP and GGT. The abnormal liver function may be related to the direct viral infection of the liver and the inflammatory immune response of the body after infection in elderly patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This experimental study explored the effect of vertical off-centring on computed tomography (CT) numbers in combination with various tube voltages and phantom sizes for two CT units. METHODS CIRS Model 062 Electron Density and system performance phantoms were imaged on Siemens Emotion 16-slice CT and GEMINI-GXL scanners, respectively. Uniformity and accuracy were evaluated as a function of vertical off-centring (20, 40, 60, and 80 mm above the gantry isocentre) using different water phantom sizes (18, 20, and 30 cm) and tube voltages (80, 90, 110, 120, 130 and 140 kVp). RESULTS Vertical off-centring and phantom size accounted for 92% of the recorded variance and the resultant change in CT numbers. The uniformity test recorded maximum changes of 14 and 27.2 HU for peripheral ROIs across the X- and Y-axes for an 80 mm phantom shift above the gantry isocentre on the GEMINI GXL and Siemens scanners, respectively. The absolute CT number differences between the superior and inferior ROIs were 13.7 HU for the 30 cm phantom and 4.8 HU for the 20 cm phantom for 80 mm vertical off-centring. The largest differences were observed at lower tube voltages. CONCLUSIONS It is essential to highlight the significance of CT number variation in clinical decision-making. Phantom off-centring affected the uniformity of these numbers, which were further impacted by the ROI position in this experimental study. CT number variation was more evident in peripheral phantom areas, lower tube voltages and larger phantom sizes. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE CT number is observed to be a variable under certain common conditions. This significantly impacts several applications where clinical decisions depend on CT number accuracy for tissue lesion characterisation.

The clone formation numbers of KYSE150 and KYSE410 in TGF-β1 group [(1.01±0.08) and (0.99±0.25)] were higher than those in DMY+ TGF-β1 group [(0.73±0.10) and (0.58±0.05), P<0.05]. The apoptosis rates of KYSE150 and KYSE410 cells in TGF-β1 group [(0.81±0.14)% and (1.18±0.10)%] were lower than those in DMY+ TGF-β1 group [(1.38±0.22)% and (1.85±0.04)%, P<0.05]. The invasion numbers of KYSE150 and KYSE410 cells in TGF-β1 group [(1.19±0.11) and (1.39±0.11)] were higher than those in DMY+ TGF-β1 group [(0.93±0.09) and (0.93±0.05), P<0.05]. The migration rates of KYSE150 and KYSE410 cells in TGF-β1 group [(1.87±0.19)% and (1.32±0.04)%] were higher than those in DMY+ TGF-β1 group [(0.86±0.16)% and (0.77±0.12)%, P<0.05]. The protein expression levels of Bax, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 in KYSE150 and KYSE410 cells in DMY group were higher than those in DMSO group, while the protein expression level of Bcl-2 was lower than that in DMSO group (P<0.05).

New Measurements of the Beam-Normal Single Spin Asymmetry in Elastic Electron Scattering over a Range of Spin-0 Nuclei. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2022; 128:142501.

Abstract
We report precision determinations of the beam-normal single spin asymmetries (A_{n}) in the elastic scattering of 0.95 and 2.18 GeV electrons off ^{12}C, ^{40}Ca, ^{48}Ca, and ^{208}Pb at very forward angles where the most detailed theoretical calculations have been performed. The first measurements of A_{n} for ^{40}Ca and ^{48}Ca are found to be similar to that of ^{12}C, consistent with expectations and thus demonstrating the validity of theoretical calculations for nuclei with Z≤20. We also report A_{n} for ^{208}Pb at two new momentum transfers (Q^{2}) extending the previous measurement. Our new data confirm the surprising result previously reported, with all three data points showing significant disagreement with the results from the Z≤20 nuclei. These data confirm our basic understanding of the underlying dynamics that govern A_{n} for nuclei containing ≲50 nucleons, but point to the need for further investigation to understand the unusual A_{n} behavior discovered for scattering off ^{208}Pb.
