Abstract
Prevention of bacterial infection and reduction of hemorrhage, the primary challenges posed by trauma before hospitalization, are essential steps in prolonging the patient's life until they have been transported to a trauma center. Extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel is a promising biocompatible material for accelerating wound closure. However, due to the lack of antibacterial properties, this hydrogel is difficult to be applied to acute contaminated wounds. This study formulates an injectable dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel (porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM)) as a scaffold for skin defect repair. The hydrogel combines vancomycin, an antimicrobial agent for inducing hemostasis, expediting antimicrobial activity, and promoting tissue repair. The hydrogel possesses a porous structure beneficial for the adsorption of vancomycin. The antimicrobial agent can be timely released from the hydrogel within an hour, which is less than the time taken by bacteria to infest an injury, with a cumulative release rate of approximately 80%, and thus enables a relatively fast bactericidal effect. The cytotoxicity investigation demonstrates the biocompatibility of the ADM hydrogel. Dynamic coagulation experiments reveal accelerated blood coagulation by the hydrogel. In vivo antibacterial and hemostatic experiments on a rat model indicate the healing of infected tissue and effective control of hemorrhaging by the hydrogel. Therefore, the vancomycin-loaded ADM hydrogel will be a viable biomaterial for controlling hemorrhage and preventing bacterial infections in trauma patients.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the gene-body mass index (BMI) interaction on coronary heart disease (CHD) in the Chinese adult twins. Methods: A total of 20 340 same-sex twin pairs registered in the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR) were enrolled in this study. Classical twin structure equation model was used to estimate the gene-BMI interaction on CHD. Results: After adjusting for age, we found that genetic variance of CHD differed as the function of BMI in male twins, which indicated the presence of a gene-BMI interaction on CHD (P=0.008).The genetic moderating effect (βa) was -0.14 (95%CI: -0.22--0.04), indicating that for each logarithmic transformation value of BMI increase, genetic path parameters would decrease by 0.14, which would result in the decrease of genetic variance of CHD. And the heritability of CHD was 0.77 (95%CI: 0.65-0.86) among the male twins with lower BMI (<24.0 kg/m2), but 0.56 (95%CI: 0.33-0.74) among the male twins with high BMI (≥24.0 kg/m2). However, there was no evidence suggesting that BMI could moderate genetic variants of CHD in female. Conclusion: We found a significant gene-BMI interaction on CHD in the Chinese male adult twins in China, and the heritability of CHD was higher among the twins whose BMI was <24.0 kg/m2.

Abstract
AIMS In the current eighth edition head and neck TNM staging, extranodal extension (ENE) is an adverse feature in oral cavity squamous cell cancer (OSCC). The previous seventh edition N1 with ENE is now staged as N2a. Seventh edition N2+ with ENE is staged as N3b in the eighth edition. We evaluated its potential impact on patients treated with surgery and postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS OSCC patients treated with primary surgery and adjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy between January 2005 and December 2014 were reviewed. Cohorts with pathological node-negative (pN-), pathological node-positive without ENE (pN+_pENE-) and pathological node-positive with ENE (pN+_pENE+) diseases were compared for local control, regional control, distant control and overall survival. The pN+ cohorts were further stratified into seventh edition N-staging subgroups for outcomes comparison. RESULTS In total, 478 patients were evaluated: 173 pN-; 159 pN+_pENE-; 146 pN+_pENE+. Outcomes at 5 years were: local control was identical (78%) in all cohorts (P = 0.892), whereas regional control was 91%, 80% and 68%, respectively (P < 0.001). Distant control was 97%, 87%, 68% (P < 0.001) and overall survival was 75%, 53% and 39% (P < 0.001), respectively. Overall survival for N1 and N2a subgroups was not significantly different. In the seventh edition N2b subgroup of pENE- (n = 79) and pENE+ (n = 79) cohorts, overall survival was 67% and 37%, respectively. In the seventh edition N2c subgroups, overall survival for pENE- (n = 17) and pENE+ (n = 38) cohorts was 65% and 35% (P = 0.08), respectively. Overall, an additional 128 patients (42% pN+) were upstaged as N3b. CONCLUSIONS When eighth edition staging was applied, stage migration across the N2-3 categories resulted in expected larger separations of overall survival by stage. Patients treated with primary radiation without surgical staging should have outcomes carefully monitored. Strategies to predict ENE preoperatively and trials to improve the outcomes of pENE+ patients should be explored.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the influence and related lag effects of meteorological factors on scrub typhus (ST) in southwestern Yunnan, to provide a reference for the corresponding prevention and treatment measures. Methods: Data on ST and meteorology in Yunnan province from 2007 to 2018 were collected. A distributed lag nonlinear model was conducted to study the cumulative lag effects of temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall on ST. Results: From 2007-2018, a total of 19 975 ST cases were reported in southwestern Yunnan. Weekly mean temperature, mean relative humidity, and the risk of ST all showed J-shaped curves. The cumulative risk of ST increased with mean temperature >23 ℃, mean relative humidity >80%, and cumulative rainfall between 20 and 60 mm or over 100 mm, weekly. Taking the median value as the reference, higher temperature (22.27 ℃, 23.45 ℃), relative humidity (80.14%, 84.38%) and rainfall (37.17 mm, 74.42 mm) all increased the risk of disease while lower temperature (11.22 ℃,14.83 ℃), relative humidity (53.18%,65.36%) and rainfall (0.00 mm,0.55 mm) showed opposite effects. The temperature-lag effect lasted for 10 and 16 weeks, respectively, with ST's risk the highest during the week of exposure. Humidity-lag effects usually last for 10 and 17 weeks. The lag effect of rainfall lasted for 25 weeks, while the disease's risk was the highest in the 4th week. Conclusion: Factors as temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation showed nonlinear and lag effects on ST. High temperature, high relative humidity, and an appropriate amount of rainfalls increase the risk of ST. The authorities of public health should implement effective prevention and control measures according to meteorological conditions.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the modification effect of physical activity on the genetic effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: The univariate moderation model was fitted to calculate the modifying effect of physical activity on the genetic effects of T2DM based on the data of 12 107 pairs of same gender twins aged 30 years and older enrolled by the Chinese National Twin Registry in 11 provinces/cities in China. Results: After adjusting for age and gender, the heritability of T2DM was 0.56 (0.31-0.84). Qualified physical activity could attenuate the genetic effects of T2DM. The heritability of T2DM in twin pairs with qualified physical activity was 0.46 (0.06-0.88), which was lower than that in twin pairs without qualified physical activity during the same model [0.68(0.36-0.94)]. Conclusion: T2DM is a moderate genetic disease, physical activity can modify the genetic effects of T2DM.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the differences in body mass index (BMI) distribution in adult twins registered in Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR), and provide evidence for the risk factor analysis and prevention and control of overweight or obesity. Methods: A total of 32 725 twin pairs aged 18 years and above who completed the questionnaire survey during 2010-2018 and had complete registered information in CNTR and normal body weight and length were included in the analysis on the population and region specific distributions of BMI of twin pairs and the difference in BMI in twin pairs. Results: The twin pairs included in the analysis were aged (34.6±12.4) years, the twin pairs of same gender accounted for 79.7%. The average BMI was 22.5 kg/m2. The overall prevalence of obesity and overweight was 4.9% and 23.7%, respectively. Participants who were men, 50-59 years old, married, had lower education level, and lived in northern China had higher overweight rate and obesity rate (P<0.001). The difference in overweight or obesity prevalence between monozygotic (MZ) twin pars and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs was not significant, but firstborn twin pairs had slightly higher rates of overweight and obesity than later-born twin pairs (P<0.05). The analysis in same gender-twin pairs indicated that the difference in BMI was associated with age (trend test: P<0.001), and the difference was more obvious in DZ twin pair in MZ pair and this difference increased with age. The concordant rate of BMI was higher in MZ twin pairs than DZ twin pairs (P<0.05). Conclusion: The distribution of BMI of twin pairs varied with population and region and BMI varied with age due to its genetic nature.

Abstract
Background/aim Analysis of the characteristics of influenza virus in imported cases in Guangxi province of China. Materials and methods Throat swabs of imported cases with influenza-like symptoms were detected by real-time PCR from July 2016 to December 2019. Results 1292 laboratory detections of influenza were reported in 3974 influenza-like cases, of which 71.67% (926) were influenza A. The ratio of test positive was 32.82%. The proportion of detections of influenza B was 28.33% (366). A total of 70.51% of the cases mostly came from Vietnam (911). A total of 86.76% (1121) of the cases were imported from Dongxing Port, Nanning Airport, and Pingxiang Port. There was no statistical difference in all age groups. At the same time, 3 of the untyped A-type specimens were sequenced by next-generation sequencing. Among them, the sequences of 2 specimens from Vietnam had high homology with the influenza strain H3N2 in Hong Kong in 2017. The specimen sequence from Thailand is highly homologous to the influenza pandemic strain H1N1 in Brisbane, Australia in 2018. Conclusion Imported influenza cases in Guangxi have occurred throughout the year, with higher numbers in winter and spring. The cases mostly came from Vietnam with influenza A. Relevant measures should be taken to control the further spread of the virus.

Abstract
Radiomic features are being increasingly studied for clinical applications. We aimed to assess the agreement among radiomic features when computed by several groups by using different software packages under very tightly controlled conditions, which included standardized feature definitions and common image data sets. Ten sites (9 from the NCI's Quantitative Imaging Network] positron emission tomography–computed tomography working group plus one site from outside that group) participated in this project. Nine common quantitative imaging features were selected for comparison including features that describe morphology, intensity, shape, and texture. The common image data sets were: three 3D digital reference objects (DROs) and 10 patient image scans from the Lung Image Database Consortium data set using a specific lesion in each scan. Each object (DRO or lesion) was accompanied by an already-defined volume of interest, from which the features were calculated. Feature values for each object (DRO or lesion) were reported. The coefficient of variation (CV), expressed as a percentage, was calculated across software packages for each feature on each object. Thirteen sets of results were obtained for the DROs and patient data sets. Five of the 9 features showed excellent agreement with CV < 1%; 1 feature had moderate agreement (CV < 10%), and 3 features had larger variations (CV ≥ 10%) even after attempts at harmonization of feature calculations. This work highlights the value of feature definition standardization as well as the need to further clarify definitions for some features.

Abstract
Background:Gout and the metabolic (insulin resistance) syndrome frequently coexist. Intravenous insulin has been shown to raise serum urate (SU) levels in physiologic studies and a Mendelian Randomization study also showed a causal role of insulin on the risk of gout. However, it is unknown whether habitual hyperinsulinemic dietary intake confers gout risk.Objectives:Prospectively examine the relation between two distinct insulin-related dietary indices and risk of incident gout in three large cohorts of US women and men over 30 years.Methods:We studied 164,090 women from Nurses Health Study I (1986-2016) and II (1989-2017) and 40,598 men from Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2016), who were free of gout at baseline. Dietary intake and covariates were assessed by validated questionnaires every 4 years. Insulinemic potential of diet was evaluated using 1) food-based empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia (EDIH) score that was pre-defined based on circulating C-peptide levels1 and reflects insulin resistance;2 and 2) dietary insulin index (DII), which reflects transient, postprandial insulin secretion.2 We assigned EDIH and DII scores for each participant, adjusted for total energy intake, and prospectively examined the association between scores and incident gout (using ACR survey criteria for gout3), adjusting for potential confounders.Results:We ascertained 2,874 incident gout cases over 5,124,490 person-years of follow-up. In pooled multivariable-adjusted analyses, those in the highest EDIH quintile had 1.76-times (95% CI: 1.56 to 1.99) higher gout risk, compared with the lowest (Table 1). This attenuated with further adjustment for BMI (a likely causal intermediate) but remained positive (RR 1.30, 1.15 to 1.48). DII scores were inversely associated with gout risk (RR 0.66, 0.58 to 0.74) (Table 1).Table 1.Risk Ratio (95% CI) of Gout According to Quintiles of Insulin-Related Dietary IndexEDIH (measure of insulin resistance)Q1:lowest circulating insulin levelsQ2Q3Q4Q5:highest circulating insulin levelsP for trendN cases430482598631733Person-years1,025,1291,025,2851,025,5741,025,3011,023,651Age-adjusted RR1.00 (Ref)1.13 (1.00-1.29)1.43 (1.26-1.61)1.53 (1.36-1.73)1.85 (1.64-2.09)<.0001MV-Adjusted*RR1.00 (Ref)1.11 (0.98-1.27)1.39 (1.22-1.57)1.47 (1.30-1.67)1.76 (1.56-1.99)<.0001MV-Adjusted**RR (+ BMI)1.00 (Ref)1.03 (0.90-1.17)1.21 (1.06-1.37)1.21 (1.07-1.37)1.30 (1.15-1.48)<.0001Dietary Insulin Index (measure of transient, post-prandial secretion and sensitivity)Q1:lowest insulin sensitivityQ2Q3Q4Q5:greatest insulin sensitivityP for trendN cases783611527498455Person-years1,024,7631,025,7301,025,0751,025,5381,023,834Age-adjusted RR1.00 (Ref)0.79 (0.71-0.88)0.69 (0.62-0.77)0.65 (0.58-0.73)0.59 (0.53-0.66)<.0001MV-Adjusted*RR1.00 (Ref)0.79 (0.71-0.88)0.69 (0.62-0.77)0.66 (0.59-0.74)0.60 (0.53-0.67)<.0001MV-Adjusted**RR (+ BMI)1.00 (Ref)0.78 (0.70-0.87)0.69 (0.62-0.77)0.67 (0.60-0.75)0.66 (0.58-0.74)<.0001*Multivariable (MV) models adjusted for age (month), White race, smoking, menopause (women only), hormone use (women only), physical activity, history of hypertension, and diuretic use **MV + BMI models further adjusted for BMI (a likely causal intermediate)Conclusion:EDIH scores, reflecting chronic hyperinsulinemia (i.e., greater insulin resistance with reduced clearance), were positively associated with the risk of incident gout, even beyond the pathway through adiposity. Conversely, higher DII scores, which reflect short-term, postprandial elevations in insulin levels (and also greater insulin clearance and sensitivity) conferred a lower risk. This corroborates human physiologic experiments and Mendelian Randomization studies showing insulin resistance can increase SU levels by decreasing renal excretion of urate, and supports lowering insulinemic potential of diet as a strategy to reduce gout risk.References:[1]Tabung et al.

Background:Global burden of gout has increased substantially, particularly among women.1,2 Addressing obesity, a major modifiable risk factor for gout, may alleviate this burden; however, there is also a significant genetic contribution to gout risk according to the genome-wide association studies (GWAS).3,4 Genetic predisposition may modify the excess weight effect on gout risk.Objectives:To investigate the potential role of genetic predisposition on the association between excess weight (i.e., BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) and gout risk in two US prospective longitudinal cohorts over >26 years, stratified by sex.Methods:We examined the association between excess weight and risk of incident gout meeting the ACR survey criteria,5 according to genetic risk, in 18,512 women from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) over 32 years, and 10,917 men from Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS) over 26 years. We derived a genetic risk score (GRS) using 114 serum urate single nucleotide polymorphisms from the latest GWAS.3 We also calculated the population attributable risk (PAR) for excess weight according to GRS stratum.Results:We ascertained 530 incident gout cases in NHS and 983 in HPFS. While the relative risks (RRs) due to excess weight (overweight or obesity) appeared larger among women above the mean than below the mean, the RRs among men appeared similar according to genetic predisposition (Table 1). The RRs among women for excess weight compared to normal were 1.66 (95% CI, 1.17 to 2.37) and 2.55 (1.95 to 3.34) below and above the mean GRS, respectively (P for multiplicative interaction = 0.06), whereas corresponding RRs among men were 1.68 (95% CI, 1.31 to 2.16) and 1.76 (1.47 to 2.10) (P for multiplicative interaction = 0.8). The risk differences (RD) among women for excess weight were 0.69 and 2.38 with GRS below and above the mean, respectively, resulting in the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) of 1.69 (95% CI, 1.03 to 2.35, P for additive interaction = 5.4x10-7); for men, the corresponding RDs were 0.70 and 1.46, with RERI = 0.76 (0.26, 1.25; P for additive interaction = 2.6x10-3). Excess weight accounted for a larger proportion of incident gout cases among women with GRS above the mean (PAR, 48.5% [95% CI, 38.8 to 55.9]) compared to those with GRS below the mean (PAR, 29.0% [95% CI, 10.5 to 42.1]), whereas the PARs among men were similar (31.6% vs 29.7%, respectively).Table 1.Relative Risk of Gout by Body Mass Index, Stratified by Mean Genetic ScoreHPFS (men)Below MeanAbove MeanBMIOverall<2525-30>30Overall<2525-30>30No. Cases3338817273650172349129Person-Years10405543314492531148898634419944609610544Age-Adjusted RR-1.0 (ref)1.71 (1.32, 2.22)3.00 (2.18, 4.12)-1.0 (ref)1.80 (1.50, 2.16)2.87 (2.27, 3.62)MV Adjusted* RR-1.0 (ref)1.53 (1.18, 1.99)2.31 (1.66, 2.21)-1.0 (ref)1.63 (1.35, 1.96)2.38 (1.87, 3.03)NHS (women)Below MeanAbove MeanBMIOverall<2525-30>30Overall<2525-30>30No. Cases17347408635772120165Person-Years24439212384976414441292392591202297612342907Age-Adjusted RR-1.0 (ref)1.23 (0.81, 1.88)4.46 (3.10, 6.41)-1.0 (ref)2.41 (1.79, 3.23)5.68 (4.82, 7.52)MV Adjusted* RR-1.0 (ref)1.00 (0.65, 1.53)2.84 (1.92, 4.20)-1.0 (ref)1.97 (1.46, 2.65)3.61 (2.68, 4.87)*Adjusted for age (continuous), menopause, use of hormone therapy (never, past or current), history of hypertension, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, alcohol, total energy intake and intake of meat, seafood and dairy foods (all continuous).Conclusion:These large scale longitudinal prospective cohorts suggest maintaining healthy weight is an important gout prevention strategy, regardless of underlying genetic risk.

Abstract
Background:Emerging evidence suggests inflammation may drive progression from hyperuricemia to clinical gout, but the role of extrinsic, modifiable sources of chronic inflammation, such as diet, on gout risk is unknown. Notably, greater dietary inflammatory potential has been independently associated with increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD)1 and type 2 diabetes (T2D).2Objectives:Prospectively examine the relation between dietary inflammatory potential and risk of gout in three large cohorts of US women and men over 30 years.Methods:Ascertaining the ACR survey criteria for gout for several decades,3 we studied gout risk among 164,090 women from Nurses Health Study I (1986-2016) and II (1989-2017) and 40,598 men from Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2016), free of gout at baseline. Dietary intake and covariates were assessed by validated questionnaires every 4 years. Inflammatory potential of diet was evaluated using a food-based empirical dietary index of inflammatory potential score (EDIP) pre-defined based on circulating levels of IL-6, C-reactive protein, adiponectin, and TNFαR2.4We assigned an EDIP score for each participant, adjusted for total energy take, and prospectively examined the association between quintiles of EDIP score and incident gout, adjusting for potential confounders. We also stratified by alcohol intake, as alcohol has anti-inflammatory properties,4 but is associated with a higher gout risk, particularly beer.5Results:We documented 2,874 incident gout cases over 5,124,940 person-years of follow-up. In pooled multivariable-adjusted analyses, those in the highest EDIP quintile had 59% higher gout risk (multivariable RR 1.59; 95% CI 1.41–1.79), compared with the lowest (Table 1). This remained positive with further adjustment for BMI, a likely causal intermediate (RR 1.27, 1.12 to 1.42), and was stronger among non-drinkers (RR 2.37, 1.58 to 2.56) than drinkers (RR 1.57, 1.38 to 1.78) (Table 1).Table 1.Risk Ratio (95% CI) of Gout According to Quintiles of Inflammatory Diet Score, Overall and by Alcohol UseQ1:lowestQ2Q3Q4Q5:highestP for trendOverallN cases473493530623755Person-years1,024,5711,025,6181,025,2841,024,7791,024,688Age-adjusted RR1.00 (Ref)1.05 (0.92, 1.19)1.13 (0.99, 1.27)1.33 (1.18, 1.50)1.64 (1.46, 1.84)<0.001MV-Adjusted* RR1.00 (Ref)1.04 (0.92, 1.18)1.12 (0.98, 1.26)1.31 (1.16, 1.48)1.59 (1.41, 1.79)<0.001MV-Adjusted** RR (+ BMI)1.00 (Ref)1.00 (0.88, 1.13)1.03 (0.91, 1.17)1.16 (1.02, 1.31)1.27 (1.12, 1.42)<0.001No Alcohol UseN cases265884143251Person-years118,301189,938249,389313,511396,080MV-Adjusted* RR1.00 (Ref)1.31 (0.82, 2.08)1.37 (0.88, 2.13)1.80 (1.18, 2.74)2.37 (1.58, 2.56)<0.001MV-Adjusted**RR (+ BMI)1.00 (Ref)1.28 (0.80, 2.03)1.32 (0.85, 2.05)1.61 (1.06, 2.45)1.85 (1.23, 2.79)<0.001Alcohol UseN cases447435446480504Person-years906,271835,680775,895711,267628,609MV-Adjusted* RR1.00 (Ref)1.04 (0.91, 1.19)1.13 (0.99, 1.29)1.31 (1.15, 1.50)1.57 (1.38, 1.78)<0.001MV-Adjusted** RR (+ BMI)1.00 (Ref)1.00 (0.88, 1.14)1.05 (0.92, 1.20)1.17 (1.03, 1.33)1.28 (1.12, 1.46)<0.001*Multivariable (MV) models adjusted for age (month), White race, smoking, menopause (women only), hormone use (women only), physical activity, history of hypertension, and diuretic use. **MV + BMI models additionally adjusted for BMI (a likely causal intermediate)Conclusion:Habitual pro-inflammatory dietary pattern was independently associated with higher risk of incident gout in these prospective cohorts, even beyond the pathway through adiposity.

Abstract
Background:Tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM), are a recently identified T cells population featuring tissue localization and expression of markers of tissue homing, CD69 and CD103. Recently, the expansion of CD8+ TRMs and their involvement in the sialadenitis was described in a murine model of SS. However, CD4+ and CD8+ TRM’s functional relevance in pSS is still not fully understood, and the TRM therapeutic targeting unexplored.Objectives:The study aimed to address the role of CD4+ and CD8+ TRMs in the pathogenesis of pSS and to explore the therapeutic targeting of the tissue residency marker of TRM CD103.Methods:An animal model of experimental (ESS) obtained by immunization of female C57BL/6 mice (n=10) with salivary glands (SG) protein extract and Freund’s complete adjuvant used to investigate the dynamic of infiltration of SG by CD4+ and CD8+ TRMs, their frequency, and the impact of CD103 blockade. For the therapeutic intervention, at 10-weeks post-immunization, the salivary gland was cannulated via Wharton’s duct, and an anti-CD103 neutralizing antibody or vehicle-injected. The mice’s saliva flow rate was assessed, and SGs were analyzed by Flow-cytometry and immunohistochemistry (IHC).The frequency and localization of TRMs was analyzed in minor SG of sicca syndrome (nSS) and pSS patients (n=39) by flow cytometry and IHC. The expression of genes involved in the tissue retention of TRMs was assessed in SG by RT-PCR.Results:Upon the ESS progression, a significant progressive increase in CD45+CD103+ cells frequency was observed from 5wk to 20wk post-immunization (p<0.001), where the CD8+ were the most abundant, followed by CD4+. Consistently, CD103+CD8+ T cells were detected within the lymphocytic infiltration of SG from ESS mice. Sorted purified SG CD10+CD3+CD8+ T cells showed higher Granzyme B, TNF-alpha expression compared to CD103-CD3+CD8+ at both mRNA and protein levels. Notably, ESS mice treated with anti-CD103 showed improvement in salivary function (p<0.05) and reduced lymphocytic infiltrations measured as focus score (FS) (p<0.01) and area-fraction (p<0.01). Consistently, anti-CD103 treatment consistently reduced CD103+ cells and IFN-gamma+, Granzyme B+, and TNFa+ CD8+ cells. We next performed phenotypic analysis of CD45+CD103+ immune cells in the SG of pSS patients observing an increase in both with CD8+CD103+CD69+ and CD4+CD103+CD69+ (p<0.05). Finally, IHC showed that the expansion of TRMs in pSS salivary glands was accompanied by a down-regulation of E-cadherin glandular expression and their migration outside the epithelium in the context of inflammatory infiltrates. SG of patients with pSS showed a significant up-regulation of BLIMP1, KFL-2, and S1PR1 and down-regulation of ITGB2. CXCL9 and CXCL10, and IL-15 involved in the tissue recruitment and long-term survival of TRMs were significantly modulated in pSS salivary glands.Conclusion:TRM are expanded and activated in the SG of pSS and ESS, participating in the organization of tissue inflammation. Although the mechanisms behind this expansion are still not fully understood, CD103 could be a valuable novel therapeutic target to prevent lymphocytic infiltrations and glandular destruction in Sjogren syndrome.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Tongxin formula protects H9c2 cardiomyocytes from cobalt chloride-induced hypoxic injury via inhibition of apoptosis.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of the Tongxin formula (TXF) on the apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes induced by cobalt chloride (CoCl2) was investigated, and the potential mechanism was explored. A hypoxic injury model of H9c2 cardiomyocytes was established using CoCl2. The cell viability was measured using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and caspase-3 activity were measured using spectrophotometry. The apoptosis was measured via Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and flow cytometry. The changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential were examined using immunofluorescence microscopy following the loading of JC-1 probes. The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins and key proteins in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway were examined via immunoblotting. The different TXF concentrations studied significantly improved the percentage of viability of cardiomyocytes with hypoxic injury, and the LDH release, apoptotic rate, caspase-3 activity, and levels of cleaved caspase-3 protein were reduced in the injured cells. Additionally, the TXF group had increased mitochondrial membrane potential, upregulated expression of Bcl-2 and p-Akt proteins, and significantly reduced expression of cleaved caspase-3 protein in the cells with hypoxic injury. Moreover, in the TXF group, the treatment significantly reduced the BAX protein expression, but the difference was not statistically significant compared with the CoCl2 group. In this study, TXF regulated the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, inhibited apoptosis, increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, and alleviated damage to the mitochondrial membrane, thereby protecting the cardiomyocytes from hypoxic injury. The underlying mechanism could be related to activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and upregulation of the Bcl-2 protein.

Abstract
Background:Although gout is conventionally known as a male condition, the recent Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study found disproportionate worsening among women.1 We have found Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is independently associated with a lower risk of incident gout, while Western diet is associated with increased risk.2 Whether these risks vary according to genetic risk remains unknown.Objectives:To investigate the influence of genetic predisposition on the relation between diets (one protective and another hazardous) and gout risk in a large prospective US cohort of women over 32 years.Methods:We examined the role of genes on the association between two dietary patterns (DASH and Western) on the risk of incident gout in 18,512 women from the Nurses’ Health Study. Using validated food frequency questionnaires, for each participant we derived: 1) DASH score emphasizing fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and reduced intake of saturated fat and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and 2) Western diet score characterized by high intake of red and processed meats, SSBs, desserts, French fries, and refined grains. A genetic risk score (GRS) was derived using 114 serum urate single nucleotide polymorphisms from the latest GWAS consortium.3Results:There were 523 incident gout cases meeting ACR survey criteria4 (170 vs. 353 in GRS below and above the mean, respectively) (Table 1). Among women with GRS below and above the mean, the multivariable relative risks (RRs) of gout were 1.0, 1.56. 1.32, 0.89, and 0.61 (0.34 to 1.09) and 1.0, 1.0, 0.85, 0.51, and 0.68 (0.49 to 0.96), for quintiles (Q) 1 through 5 of DASH score, respectively (p for interaction = 0.69) (Table 1). For the Western diet, RRs for Q1 through 5 were 1, 1.34, 1.07, 1.33, and 1.63 (0.91 to 2.93) for those with GRS below the mean and 1.0, 1.17, 0.93, 1.27, and 1.77 (1.19 to 2.61) among those with GRS above the mean, respectively (p for multiplicative interaction = 0.64).Table 1.Relative Risk of Gout by Quintiles of DASH and Western Diet Score, Stratified by Mean GRSDASHBelow MeanAbove MeanQ1Q2Q3Q4Q5Q1Q2Q3Q4Q5P InteractionNo. Cases27495121227589903465Person-Years39208472475722734953587643981545853554013473356521Age-Adjusted RR1.0 (ref)1.43 (0.89, 2.29)1.22 (0.76, 1.96)0.8 (0.45, 1.42)0.5 (0.28, 0.88)1.0 (ref)0.97 (0.72, 1.33)0.79 (0.58, 1.07)0.47 (0.31, 0.70)0.54 (0.39, 0.76)0.73MV-Adjusted* RR1.0 (ref)1.56 (0.97, 2.51)1.32 (0.82, 2.12)0.89 (0.50, 1.59)0.61 (0.34, 1.09)1.0 (ref)1.0 (0.73, 1.37)0.85 (0.63, 1.17)0.51 (0.33, 0.76)0.68 (0.49, 0.96)0.69WesternBelow MeanAbove MeanQ1Q2Q3Q4Q5Q1Q2Q3Q4Q5P InteractionNo. Cases21362839465270567699Person-Years47397493484783747589452834552947913473574644785Age-Adjusted RR1.0 (ref)1.49 (0.86, 2.56)1.26 (0.71, 2.23)1.71 (1.00, 2.93)2.22 (1.31, 3.74)1.0 (ref)1.21 (0.85, 1.74)0.98 (0.67, 1.43)1.35 (0.94, 1.93)1.88 (1.34, 2.65)0.72MV-Adjusted* RR1.0 (ref)1.34 (0.78, 2.32)1.07 (0.60, 1.90)1.33 (0.76, 2.34)1.63 (0.91, 2.93)1.0 (ref)1.17 (0.81, 1.68)0.93 (0.63, 1.38)1.27 (0.87, 1.84)1.77 (1.19, 2.61)0.64*Adjusted for age (continuous), menopause, use of hormone therapy (never, past or current), history of hypertension, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (continuous), alcohol (continuous), total energy intake (continuous), and intake of meat, seafood, and dairy foods (continuous).Conclusion:In this prospective female cohort that ascertained gout with standardized criteria over 32 years, regardless of genetic predisposition, DASH diet was similarly associated with lower risk of incident gout while Western diet was associated with a higher risk. The anticipated absolute impact of diet among genetically predisposed females was larger with greater absolute risk difference. These data agree with the recent GBD Study’s recommendation for intensive dietary and anti-obesity measures for gout prevention, especially in females.1References:[1]Xia et al., PMID 31624843[2]Keller et al., PMID: 28487277[3]Tin et al., PMID 31578528[4]Wallace et al., PMID: 856219Acknowledgements:The authors thank the participants of the NHS.CY is supported by the Rheumatology Research Foundation Scientist Development Award and NIH T32 AR007258.

Abstract
e14547 Background: MSB2311 is a novel humanized PD-L1 antibody with a unique pH-dependent antigen binding property that enables intra-tumor recycling and potentiates tumor penetration. Methods: Patients with metastatic solid tumors or selected lymphoma progressed on or after standard treatments were enrolled in this phase I study. In dose escalation part, MSB2311 was given at dose levels of 3, 10, and 20 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks. At the dose expansion part, patients with enriched biomarker expression, including EBV+, PD-L1+ (TPS≥50%), MSI-High or TMB-High (≥10muts/Mb), were dosed at 20mg/kg Q3W or 10mg/kg Q2W. Primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to identify MTD and RP2D. Secondary objectives include the assessment of pharmacokinetic parameter, immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-cancer activity per RECIST1.1. Results: As of data cutoff by Aug 31, 2020, 33 Chinese patients had been treated, including 27 heavily pre-treated solid tumor patients and 6 lymphoma patients. No dose limiting toxicity was reported and MTD has not been reached. The most common AEs (>20%) included: anemia, hypothyroidism, aspartate aminotransferase elevated, proteinuria, weight loss. 13 patients (39.4%) experienced grade 3 AEs, and 6 patients (18.2%) experienced SAEs. No treatment related grade 4 or 5 event was reported. Of the 17 efficacy evaluable solid tumor patients with biomarker selection, 6 achieved confirmed partial response with 35% ORR: 2/8 (25%) at 10 mg/kg Q2W and 4/9 (44%) at 20 mg/kg Q3W. Additionally, one patient achieved sustained iPR via iRECIST. 4 out of 7 responding patients (including one iPR) achieved tumor shrinkage of more than 50%, 3 of them got durable response (≥24 weeks).1 out of 6 lymphoma patients achieved PR. Conclusions: MSB2311 demonstrated a manageable safety profile and promising preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors and selected lymphomas. Clinical trial information: NCT04272944.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of hsa_circ_RNA0023397 in three esophageal cancer cell lines (KYSE-150, ECA109, and TE-1), which was compared with that in normal human esophageal epithelial cell line (HET-1A). The expression plasmid of hsa_circ_RNA0023397 was constructed, and the effect of overexpression of hsa_circ_RNA0023397 on cell proliferation was determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assay. The effect of overexpression of hsa_circ_RNA0023397 on cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Further bioinformatics analysis and Luciferase reporter gene analysis were carried out to explore the role of hsa_circ_RNA0023397 as a sponge of micro RNAs (miRNAs). RESULTS Compared with that in normal human esophageal epithelial cell line HET-1A, the expression of hsa_circ_RNA0023397 was down-regulated in three esophageal cancer cell lines in vitro. Overexpression of hsa_circ_RNA0023397 overtly inhibited KYSE-150 cell proliferation and promoted its apoptosis. Bioinformatics prediction and Luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that hsa_circ_RNA0023397 could bind to miR-160b. MiR-106b participated in hsa_circ_RNA0023397-mediated inhibition of proliferation of esophageal cancer KYSE-150 cells. CONCLUSIONS Hsa_circ_RNA0023397 is down-regulated in esophageal cancer cells and can act as miR-106b to affect the biological function of esophageal cancer cells.

Abstract
As a special carrier of traditional Chinese culture, baijiu is rich in terms of types and ingredients. Its quality analysis and control are always important and complex issues that urgently need reliable evaluation methods. In this study, four different modified CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were used to characterize their sensing performance to various baijiu. A sensor array was then constructed through the complementary properties of differential fluorescence signals. To achieve an accurate and rapid evaluation of different baijiu types, a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was introduced to extract and process spectral information. And the array was able to distinguish commercial baijiu samples with different aroma-types, brands, qualities and storage years with a recognition rate of 100%. In addition, according to the heat map, the organic acids in baijiu were shown to be the main components causing the fluorescence change through electron transfer (hydrogen bond) and resonance energy transfer among QDs and acids. Furthermore, using the partial least squares regression (PLSR) model, five representative organic acids were accurately quantified with a quantitative range of 10 μmol/L-80 μmol/L with a high selectivity. This QDs fluorescence sensing strategy provides an accurate, simple, and fast baijiu sensing method, which provides a potential use for on-line baijiu monitoring.
