Abstract
In this study, based on morphological and molecular data, a new bush frog species is described from Yunnan, China. Eleven samples of Raorchestes malipoensissp. nov. were collected from Malipo County, southeastern Yunnan. This species can be distinguished from other congeners by a combination of 13 morphological characters. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene indicate that these individuals form a monophyletic group, and genetic divergence between this clade and its closest relatives is higher than 3.1%, which is comparable to the divergence between recognized Raorchestes species. The discovery of this new species suggests that additional extensive surveys in the southeastern Yunnan would yield more amphibian lineages yet unknown to science.

Abstract
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare, highly fatal hepatobiliary malignancy, with very limited treatment options and, consequently, a poor prognosis. Recently, emerging evidence has suggested the potential of quercetin (QE) for use in cancer therapy. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether QE could inhibit ICC. The effects of QE on the proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion of ICC were analyzed in vitro. The inhibitory effect of QE on ICC was also verified in vivo. The RNA sequence was applied to explore the mechanism of QE. Functional verification was also performed after RNA sequencing using activators and inhibitors of nuclear factor-kappa-B (NF-[Formula: see text]B) and ferroptosis. The results showed that QE could inhibit the proliferation and survival of ICC cells, induce the arrest of ICC cells in the G1 phase, promote the apoptosis of ICC cells, and inhibit the invasion of ICC cells. Furthermore, QE could promote ferroptosis in ICC cells by inhibiting the NF-[Formula: see text]B pathway. In conclusion, QE is a new ferroptosis inducer and NF-[Formula: see text]B inhibitor that can not only induce ferroptosis, but also inhibit the invasion of ICC cells, providing a prospective strategy for the treatment of ICC.

Abstract
The data of 1 268 newly diagnosed gliomas from the Fourth Ward of Neurosurgery Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital between April 2013 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on postoperative pathology, the gliomas were divided into groups: oligodendrogliomas (n=308), astrocytomas (n=337) and glioblastomas (n=623). According to the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) promoter status defined by the 12% of best cut-off value in previous research results, patients were divided into methylation group (n=763) and non-methylation group (n=505). Methylation level [M (Q1, Q3)] in patients with glioblastoma, astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma was 6% (2%, 24%), 17% (10%, 28%) and 29% (19%, 40%), respectively (P<0.001). Compared with non-methylation patients, the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of glioblastomas patients with methylation of MGMT promoter demonstrated more favorable prognosis [M (Q1, Q3)]) of PFS: 14.0 (6.0, 36.0) months vs 8.0 (4.0, 15.0) months, P<0.001; M (Q1, Q3) of OS: 29.0 (17.0, 60.5) months vs 16.0 (11.0, 26.5) months, P<0.001]. In astrocytomas patients, the PFS was much longer for those with methylation [the median PFS of patients with methylation was not observed at the end of follow-up, but those without methylation showed a median PFS of 46.0 (29.0, 52.0) months] (P=0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was observed in OS [the median OS of patients with methylation was not observed at the end of follow-up, but those without methylation had a median OS of 62.0 (46.0, 98.0) months] (P=0.085). In oligodendrogliomas patients, no statistically significant differences of PFS and OS were observed between patients with methylation and those without methylation. MGMT promoter status was a related factor affecting PFS and OS in glioblastomas (PFS: HR=0.534,95%CI: 0.426-0.668, P<0.001; OS: HR=0.451, 95%CI: 0.353-0.576, P<0.001). Moreover, MGMT promoter status was also a related factor affecting PFS in astrocytomas (HR=0.462, 95%CI: 0.221-0.966, P=0.040), but not for OS (HR=0.664, 95%CI: 0.259-1.690, P=0.389). The methylation level of MGMT promoter differed substantially in different types of gliomas, and the status of MGMT promoter profoundly affected the prognosis of glioblastomas.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among cancer patients. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is involved in regulating biological processes, such as angiogenesis and vascular permeability, and is very closely related to the pathogenesis of various tumours, especially vascular-rich, solid tumours. Clinical data of patients with HCC and other tumours were analysed through public databases, such as the TCGA database, Gene Expression Omnibus database, Human Protein Atlas database, STRING, Tumour Immune Estimation Resource and Kaplan-Meier Plotter. The tumour tissues and adjacent normal tissues of patients with HCC from Hunan Provincial People's Hospital were collected to verify the expression of VEGFA by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting and qPCR. VEGFA expression is elevated in multiple tumour types and correlates with the prognosis of tumour patients. VEGFA is involved in regulating the tumour microenvironment and immune cell function in tumour development. Inhibition of VEGFA reduces proliferation, invasion, and migration and promotes apoptosis in HCC cells. VEGFA is a potential predictive biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC.

Abstract
Abstract Background: To investigate retrospectively whether changes in serum albumin levels within one hour of flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) lithotripsy can be used as a predictor of post-operative urosepsis. Patients and Methods: Eligible patients with unilateral upper urinary calculi who underwent fRUS lithotripsy performed by a single surgeon at our center were included in the analysis. The patients were divided into sepsis and non-sepsis groups. The change ratio of albumin and white blood cell (WBC) count was calculated by post-operative/pre-operative index*100%. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess whether there was a correlation between risk factors and post-operative urosepsis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze factors that showed significant differences in multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 314 patients were included in the analysis, 20 of whom had post-operative urosepsis and five developed septic shock; no deaths occurred. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that urine culture results, WBC counts within one hour after surgery, post-operative albumin levels, and the degree of albumin changes after surgery were independent predictors of post-operative urosepsis. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that noteworthy hypoalbuminemia after surgery and positive pre-operative urine culture could help screen high-risk patients for post-operative urosepsis effectively. Conclusions: Hypoalbuminemia shortly after operation can be utilized as a predictor for early diagnosis of post-operative urosepsis in patients undergoing fURS lithotripsy.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of anlotinib plus irinotecan in the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: This prospective phase 1/2 study was conducted in 2 centers in China (Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Jiangsu Province Hospital). We enrolled patients with mCRC whose disease had progressed after first-line systemic therapy and had not previously treated with irinotecan to receive anlotinib plus irinotecan. In the phase 1 of the trial, patients received anlotinib (8 mg, 10 mg or 12 mg, po, 2 weeks on/1 week off) in combination with fixed-dose irinotecan (180 mg/m(2), iv, q2w) to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). In the phase 2, patients were treated with the RP2D of anlotinib and irinotecan. The primary endpoints were MTD and objective response rate (ORR). Results: From May 2018 to January 2020, a total of 31 patients with mCRC were enrolled. Anlotinib was well tolerated in combination with irinotecan with no MTD identified in the phase 1, and the RP2D was 12 mg. Thirty patients were evaluable for efficacy analysis. Eight patients achieved partial response, and 21 had stable disease, 1 had progressive disease. The ORR was 25.8% and the disease control rate was 93.5%. With a median follow-up duration of 29.5 months, the median progression-free survival and overall survival were 6.9 months (95% CI: 3.7, 9.3) and 17.6 months (95% CI: 12.4, not evaluated), respectively. The most common grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (≥10%) were neutropenia (25.8%) and diarrhea (16.1%). There was no treatment-related death. Conclusion: The combination of anlotinib and irinotecan has promising anti-tumor activity in the second-line treatment of mCRC with a manageable safety profile.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical, radiological, histological and molecular features and the differential diagnosis of fibrocartilaginous mesenchymoma (FM). Methods: Four cases of FM diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from 2020 to 2022 were analyzed. Related literature was also reviewed. Results: Case 1 was a 10-year-old girl with bone destruction in the sacrum and L5 articular processes revealed by CT scan. Case 2 was a 7-year-old girl with an aggressive lesion in her right distal ulna. Case 3 was an 11-year-old boy with a lesion in the metaphysis of his left proximal tibia. Case 4 was an 11-year-old boy with bone destruction in the distal portion of a radius. Microscopically, the four tumors all consisted of numerous spindle cells, hyaline cartilage nodules, and bone trabeculae. The hypocellular to moderately cellular spindle cell component contained elongated cells with slightly hyperchromatic, mildly atypical nuclei arranged in bundles or intersecting fascicles. Benign-appearing cartilaginous nodules of various sizes and shapes were scattered throughout the tumors. There were areas mimicking epiphyseal growth-plate characterized by chondrocytes arranged in parallel columns and areas of enchondral ossification. The stroma was rich in mucus in case 1. Mutation of GNAS and IDH1/IDH2 and amplification of MDM2 gene were not found in any of the three tested cases. Conclusions: FM is very rare and tends to affect young patients. It most frequently occurs in the metaphysis of long tubular bones, followed by the iliac-pubic bones and vertebrae. FM is characterized by a mixed population of spindle cells, hyaline cartilage nodules and trabeculae of bone, without specific immunophenotypes and molecular alternations. As a borderline, locally aggressive neoplasm, surgical removal with a wide margin is generally the treatment of choice for FM.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of sudden death on job among workers in the large oil field, and to provide scientific basis for dealing with such incidents. Methods: In April 2021, the medical records of employees who died in a large oilfield from 2014 to 2020, and the occupational health examination data in the first year of life were collected, and 85 employees who died suddenly on duty were included in the study. According to whether the employees are exposed to the occupational disease hazards, they are divided into the injured type of work (66 persons) and the non injured type of work (19 persons) . The characteristics of the clinical data of the sudden death employees are analyzed retrospectively. The gender, age, length of service, type of work, distribution of causes of sudden death of the cases are analyzed. The detection of abnormalities in various occupational health examination indicators is analyzed. The chi square test is used to analyze the distribution of the types of work, length of service and abnormal physical examination indicators. Results: Among the 85 employees who died suddenly on duty, the ratio of men and women was 16∶1. The proportion of sudden death among employees aged 40 to 50 years was the highest (54.12%, 46/85) , which was mainly the first-line workers in the affected departments (43.53%, 37/85) and those with 20-30 years of service (57.64%, 49/85) . The main cause of sudden death was cardiogenic sudden death (78.82%, 67/85) . There were statistically significant differences in abnormal rates of blood pressure and blood glucose among workers of different types of work (χ(2)=7.24, 24.22, P<0.05) , and there were statistically significant differences in abnormal rates of blood lipid and blood glucose among workers of different ages of service (χ(2)=12.37, 31.44, P<0.05) Conclusion: Higher risks of sudden death on job are male, older than 40 years old, front-line workers in disaster receiving departments, worked for more than 30 years, and have abnormal cardiovascular indicators. Workers with these high risks are the major target population for the prevention and treatment of sudden death on the job. It's necessary to supervise enterprises to implement protective measures against risk factors, and to strengthen health education and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in order to reduce the occurrence rate of sudden death in oilfield workers.

Abstract
Propofol has been shown to against intestinal reperfusion injury when treated either before or after ischemia, during which mast cell could be activated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of propofol in restoring the intestinal epithelial cells integrity disrupted by mast cell activation or the released tryptase after activation in vitro. We investigated the effect of: (1) tryptase on Caco-2 monolayers in the presence of PAR-2 inhibitor or propofol, (2) mast cell degranulation in a Caco-2/LAD-2 co-culture model in the presence of propofol, and (3) propofol on mast cell degranulation. Epithelial integrity was detected using transepithelial resistance (TER) and permeability to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran (the apparent permeability coefficient, Papp). The expression of junctional proteins zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1/TJP1) and occludin were determined using western blot analysis and immunofluorescence microscopy. The intracellular levels of reactive oxidative species (ROS) and Ca2+ were measured using flow cytometry. Tryptase directly enhanced intestinal barrier permeability as demonstrated by significant reductions in TER, ZO-1, and occludin protein expression and concomitant increases in Papp. The intestinal barrier integrity was restored by PAR-2 inhibitor but not by propofol. Meanwhile, mast cell degranulation resulted in epithelial integrity disruption in the Caco-2/LAD-2 co-culture model, which was dramatically attenuated by propofol. Mast cell degranulation caused significant increases in intracellular ROS and Ca2+ levels, which were blocked by propofol and NAC. Propofol pretreatment can inhibit mast cell activation via ROS/Ca2+ and restore the intestinal barrier integrity induced by mast cell activation, instead of by tryptase.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features of patients with cardiac metastases from digestive system tumors. Methods: This retrospective study collected and analyzed the medical records of patients with cardiac metastases from digestive system tumors who received treatments in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 1999 and January 2021. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results: A total of 19 patients were identified. The primary tumors were esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (n=7), gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (n=6), hepatobiliary cancers (n=3) and colorectal cancers (n=3). 16 patients had pericardial metastases, 2 patients had right atrium metastases, and 1 patient had left ventricle metastasis. The most common symptom was dyspnea, which was present in 8 cases. 7 patients received locoregional treatment, while 11 patients underwent systemic therapies. The median overall survival from diagnosis of primary cancer was 31.4 months, and the median overall survival time from diagnosis of cardiac metastasis was 4.7 months. Conclusion: Cardiac metastasis from digestive system tumors is associated with low incidence and a poor prognosis. Systemic treatment remains the cornerstone of management, while novel anti-tumor drugs may improve therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
In our 1000-bed acute care tertiary hospital, physicians order laboratory tests via the computerized-provider-order-entry (CPOE) system and print barcode labels (patient demographics/tests ordered) at the computer-on-wheel printer. When tubes with unsuitable barcodes (misaligned, poor quality) are received at the laboratory specimen reception area a fresh barcode is re-printed by our laboratory staff. An incident involving a re- printed barcode label pasted on the wrong blood tube prompted an investigation into the quality of barcodes.
Methods/Case Report
We initiated ‘an opportunity for improvement (OFI) project’ at the laboratory specimen reception station. The OFI team involved Nursing, Information Technology (IT) and Pathology departments aimed to eliminate re-printing of barcode labels by 75% within 6 months. We collated and analyzed reasons for re-printing of barcodes on 3 separate 48-hour periods (27-28 April 2020, 24-25 June 2020, and 13-14 June 2022). A series of interventions and initiatives were implemented.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
Re-printed barcodes were from the Emergency Department (56%), Out-patient clinics (7%) and Wards (57%). Root cause analysis(RCA) using the “5 whys” technique categorized re-print causes into staff-related (misaligned barcodes) and printer-related (faint barcodes lines/truncated un-verifiable patient demographics). The team mass-emailed clinicians an educational “Do-You-Know” guide on proper pasting of barcodes on blood tubes and instructions on how to obtain help for printer rectification. These guide documents were placed in the hospital-wide document-sharing portal - Docupedia. Immediate close follow-up with sites that had poor barcodes was done in real-time. Barcode reprints decreased 83% within 2 months - from 174 (27-28 Apr 2020) to 30 (24-25 Jun 2020). A recent audit showed sustained elimination of barcode re-printing: 25 cases (13-14 Jun 2022).
Conclusion
The OFI project has successfully raised the quality of CPOE labels on specimen tubes contributing to process efficiency and safer patient care. Close communication with all care sites and their representatives on the OFI team are critical success factors.

Abstract
The development of information technology has changed the mode of communication of social information, and this change has put forward new requirements on the contents, methods and even objects of information science research. Knowledge service in the information service process can extract knowledge and information content from various explicit and implicit knowledge resources according to people’s needs, build knowledge networks, and provide knowledge content or solutions for users’ problems. Hence, it is very important to investigate how to analyze and design the advanced standard knowledge service system based on deep learning. To this end, we firstly introduce the typical deep learning networks of convolutional neural network (CNN) for the knowledge service system, and then employ the CNN to implement the knowledge classification based on deep learning. Finally, some simulation results on the knowledge service system are presented to validate the proposed studies in this paper.

Abstract
The transformer can convert one kind of electric energy such as AC current and AC voltage into another kind of electric energy with the same frequency. Knowledge graph (KG) can describe various entities and concepts in the real world and their relationships, and it can be considered as a semantic network for power system transformer. Hence, it is of vital importance to analyze and design the power system transformer standard based on the knowledge graph. To this end, we firstly examine the power system transformer with one KG node and one eavesdropper E, where the eavesdropper E can overhear the network from the source, which may cause physical-layer secure issue and an outage probability event. To deal with the issue, we analyze and design the system secure performance under the eavesdropper and define the outage probability for system security, by providing analytical expression of outage probability. We further investigate the power system transformer with multiple KG nodes which can help strengthen the system security and reliability. For such a system, we analyze and design the system secure performance under the eavesdropper and define the outage probability for system security, by providing analytical expression of outage probability. Finally, we give some simulations to analyze the impact of secure transformer standard on the power system, and verify the accuracy of our proposed analytical expression for the the power system transformer standard based on the knowledge graph.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantitative metrics of the dural sac such as the cross-sectional area are commonly used to evaluate central canal stenosis. The aim of this study was to analyze 2 new metrics to measure spinal stenosis on the basis of the ratio between the dural sac and disc cross-sectional areas (DDRCA) and the dural sac and disc anterior-posterior diameters (DDRDIA) and compare them with established quantitative metrics of the dural sac. MATERIALS AND METHODS T2-weighted axial MR images (n = 260 patients) were retrospectively evaluated, graded for central canal stenosis as normal (no stenosis), mild, moderate, or severe from L1/L2 through L5/S1 with 1 grade per spinal level and annotated to measure the DDRCA and DDRDIA. Thresholds were obtained using a decision tree classifier on a subset of patients (n = 130) and evaluated on the remaining patients (n = 130) for accuracy and consistency across demographics, anatomic variation, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS DDRCA and DDRDIA had areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 98.6 (97.4-99.3) and 98.0 (96.7-98.9) compared with dural sac cross-sectional area at 96.5 (95.0-97.7) for binary classification. DDRDIA and DDRCA had κ scores of 0.75 (0.71-0.79) and 0.80 (0.75-0.83) compared with dural sac cross-sectional area at 0.62 (0.57-0.66) for multigrade classification. No significant differences (P > .1) in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were observed for the DDRDIA across variations in the body mass index. The DDRDIA also had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve among symptomatic patients (visual analog scale ≥ 7) or patients who underwent surgery. CONCLUSIONS Ratio-based metrics (DDRDIA and DDRCA) are accurate and robust to anatomic and demographic variability compared with quantitative metrics of the dural sac and better correlated with symptomatology and surgical outcomes.
