Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the influences of toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-κB (TLR4/NF-κB) pathway on the memory function and inflammatory factors in rats with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). MATERIALS AND METHODS CSVD model in rats was established. Expressions of TLR4/NF-κB-related proteins and inflammatory factors were detected. CSVD rats were treated with the TLR4/NF-κB pathway agonist and inhibitor to evaluate the regulatory effect of TLR4/NF-κB pathway on the expressions of TLR4, NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65. Moreover, their influences on the cerebral edema, memory function and expressions of inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in CSVD rats were also analyzed. RESULTS In model group, the mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB-related proteins in rat hippocampus were significantly higher than those in sham group (p<0.01), and the expressions of IL-1β and TNF-αsignificantly increased (p<0.05). The agonist lipopolysaccharide (LPS) significantly increased the proportion of TLR4-positive cells (p<0.01) and protein expression of TLR4 (p<0.01). The inhibitor CLI-095 obviously reduced the proportion of TLR4-positive cells and TLR4 expression (p<0.05). Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) remarkably reduced the expressions of NF-κB p50 and NF-κB p65 in model group (p<0.05). LPS promoted cerebral edema, leading to memory dysfunction and enhanced inflammatory response in rats of model group. The inhibitor CLI-095+PDTC significantly reduced cerebral edema, lowered memory impairment and relieved inflammatory response in CSVD rats (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The inhibitor of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway can restore memory function and reduce inflammatory response in CSVD rats.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare multisystem autoinflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. AOSD is generally characterized by high spiking fever, arthralgia or arthritis, skin rash, leukocytosis, and hyperferritinemia. Traditionally, AOSD has been treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants. An increasing number of studies have shown that proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β, -18, -6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, play key roles in AOSD and may serve as therapeutic targets. In the current review, we provided insights into the roles of these cytokines in the pathogenesis of AOSD and also provided a commentary on the clinical studies of biologic therapy against AOSD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the changes of the condylar axis, the anteroposterior condylar position relative to the glenoid fossa, after intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). STUDY DESIGN 21 patients diagnosed as skeletal class III malocclusion underwent IVRO and were followed according to the authors' postoperative management regimen. The three-dimensional positions of the condyles were evaluated by cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) at pre-op, post-op, and at follow-up. CBCT images were referenced to assess the condylar axis change and the anteroposterior condylar position in the glenoid fossa. A repeated-measures analysis of variance (P<0.05) also was performed. RESULTS After surgery, both the axial condylar angles and the anteroposterior condylar position were significantly different (P<0.05). The coronal condylar axis rotated outwardly. The anteroposterior condylar position in the glenoid fossa had moved from the concentric to the anterior position. But the condyle changes between post-op and follow-up (P>0.05) were insignificant. CONCLUSIONS With postoperative intermaxillary elastic traction, the condyles changed their positions physiologically for newly established jaw movement after IVRO.

Abstract
Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a type of autoimmune myopathy characterized by severe diffuse proximal myofiber necrosis in the context of inflammatory myopathy. Autoantibodies of anti-signal recognition particle and anti-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase are two antibodies specific to IMNM. Erythema nodosum (EN) is often accompanied by various systemic diseases, such as autoimmune diseases. Herein, we report a female patient with signal recognition particle-associated IMNM, with EN as the first presentation. She showed significant clinical improvement after the initiation of glucocorticoids, intravenous immunoglobulin, rituximab, and mycophenolate mofetil. This case indicates that IMNM can initially present as EN. IMNM and EN might have overlapping pathogeneses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the Adjuvant Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab (APT) trial has been adopted clinically, single-arm trials have limitations, and interest remains whether these patients with small node-negative human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer (EBC) would benefit from more intensive chemotherapy. This analysis explored whether external controls can contextualize single-arm studies to add to clinical decision making in the use of de-escalated therapy in patients with low-risk HER2-positive EBC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patient-level data from five randomized trials supporting drug approval in adjuvant HER2-positive EBC were pooled, and patients with low-risk EBC were selected (n = 1770). Patients treated concurrently with trastuzumab and either anthracycline/cyclophosphamide/taxane/trastuzumab (ACTH) or taxane/carboplatin/trastuzumab (TCH; n = 1366) were matched (1:1) to patients treated with paclitaxel and trastuzumab (TH) in the APT trial (n = 406) using propensity scores. Patients treated with anthracycline/cyclophosphamide/taxane (ACT; n = 374) were also matched (1:1) to those treated with TH. Propensity scores were estimated using covariates of age, tumor stage, estrogen receptor status, progesterone receptor status, and histological grade. RESULTS After matching, the estimated probabilities of invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) at 3 and 5 years were 98.6% and 96.5% in the TH arm, and 96.6% and 92.9% in the ACTH/TCH arm, respectively. The estimated probabilities of overall survival (OS) at 3 and 5 years were 99.7% and 99.3% in the TH arm, and 99.0% and 97.4% in the ACTH/TCH arm, respectively. Comparing the TH arm with the ACT arm in the matched sample, the estimated difference in iDFS was 7.5% (TH 98.8% and ACT 91.3%) at 3 years and 12.6% (TH 96.1% and ACT 83.5%) at 5 years. The estimated difference in OS was 2.6% (TH 100% and ACT 97.4%) at 3 years, and 5.3% (TH 99.3% and ACT 94.0%) at 5 years. CONCLUSIONS Our analyses suggest that patients' outcomes in both arms were in general similar, thus providing additional reassurance regarding de-escalation of therapy.

Abstract
Field transformation is complementary to transformation optics as it converts polarization without reflection for any incidence, despite not being impedance-matched to vacuum. However, to ease manufacture, a dielectric approximation may degrade the transmission performance due to the approximate dispersion relation for the exact reciprocal medium. In this paper, we instead propose a different dielectric equivalent medium to guarantee the exact dispersion. We also discuss the birefringence phenomenon in such dielectric media, and their unavoidable induced reflections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR-TB) continues to be a challenge in China. Bedaquiline (BDQ) is associated with accelerated sputum culture conversion and favourable treatment outcomes when added to a preferred background regimen. This post-hoc study aimed to assess the outcomes of BDQ treatment in Chinese patients with MDR/XDR-TB.METHODS: Data from 51 Chinese patients who participated in a global Phase 2, open-label, single-arm study (TMC207-C209) were analysed for effectiveness and safety of the BDQ-containing regimen.RESULTS: During the 24-week BDQ treatment, adverse events (AEs) occurred in 48 patients (94.1%), with the most common AE being hyperuricemia. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) was reported in 13 patients (25.5%); serious DILI was reported in one patient (2.0%). Seven (13.7%) AEs were considered to be possibly related to BDQ by the investigators. Only one Grade 1 QTc prolongation was reported; no QTcF >500 ms was reported. One death occurred after BDQ treatment due to progressive TB. The median time to sputum culture conversion was 85 days based on the 24-week data. The sputum culture conversion rate was 82% at 24 weeks and 78% at 120 weeks; 66% of patients achieved a cure.CONCLUSIONS: BDQ was well-tolerated and effective for treating MDR-TB among Chinese patients.

The first measurement at the LHC of charge-dependent directed flow (v_{1}) relative to the spectator plane is presented for Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. Results are reported for charged hadrons and D^{0} mesons for the transverse momentum intervals p_{T}>0.2 GeV/c and 3<p_{T}<6 GeV/c in the 5%-40% and 10%-40% centrality classes, respectively. The difference between the positively and negatively charged hadron v_{1} has a positive slope as a function of pseudorapidity η, dΔv_{1}/dη=[1.68±0.49(stat)±0.41(syst)]×10^{-4}. The same measurement for D^{0} and D[over ¯]^{0} mesons yields a positive value dΔv_{1}/dη=[4.9±1.7(stat)±0.6(syst)]×10^{-1}, which is about 3 orders of magnitude larger than the one of the charged hadrons. These measurements can provide new insights into the effects of the strong electromagnetic field and the initial tilt of matter created in noncentral heavy ion collisions on the dynamics of light (u, d, and s) and heavy (c) quarks. The large difference between the observed Δv_{1} of charged hadrons and D^{0} mesons may reflect different sensitivity of the charm and light quarks to the early time dynamics of a heavy ion collision. These observations challenge some recent theoretical calculations, which predicted a negative and an order of magnitude smaller value of dΔv_{1}/dη for both light flavor and charmed hadrons.

Evidence of Spin-Orbital Angular Momentum Interactions in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2020; 125:012301. [PMID: 32678650 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.125.012301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2019] [Revised: 02/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
The first evidence of spin alignment of vector mesons (K^{*0} and ϕ) in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is reported. The spin density matrix element ρ_{00} is measured at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) of 2.76 TeV with the ALICE detector. ρ_{00} values are found to be less than 1/3 (1/3 implies no spin alignment) at low transverse momentum (p_{T}<2 GeV/c) for K^{*0} and ϕ at a level of 3σ and 2σ, respectively. No significant spin alignment is observed for the K_{S}^{0} meson (spin=0) in Pb-Pb collisions and for the vector mesons in pp collisions. The measured spin alignment is unexpectedly large but qualitatively consistent with the expectation from models which attribute it to a polarization of quarks in the presence of angular momentum in heavy-ion collisions and a subsequent hadronization by the process of recombination.

Abstract
1. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Gingko biloba extract EGB761 on heat-stressed chicken heart in vivo and its underlying relevance to Hsp70.2. A total of 50 one-day-old female chicks were randomly divided into five groups: control (Con), heat-stress (HS), 0.1% EGB761 plus heat-stress (0.1%EGB+HS), 0.3%EGB761 plus heat-stress (0.3%EGB+HS) and 0.6%EGB761 plus heat-stress (0.6%EGB+HS) groups. After administration of EGB761 for 45 days, the chickens in each group were exposed to a single heat-stress event at 38 ± 1°C for 3 h.3. EGB761 attenuated the abnormal symptoms and pathological scores of myocardium of heat-stressed chickens. Despite a reduction in the transcription and translation of the Hsp70 gene in heat-stressed myocardium, EGB761 induced the expression of Hsp70 in endothelial cells of the microarteries and venules into the blood, and reduced heat-stress damage in vascular endothelial cells.4. Supplementation with EGB761 before heat-stress exposure protected chicken myocardium from damage by increasing serum Hsp70 protein from myocardial cells and cardiac microvascular endothelial cells and protected the microvascular system from adverse injury.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the characteristics and associated factors of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases with non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual transmission, in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi), 2015-2018. Methods: Information of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases aged ≥18 years in Guangxi between 2015 and 2018 was collected from the National Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Information System. Unconditional logistic regression model was used to access those factors that were associated with HIV infections through non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual contact. Results: Between 2015 and 2018, a total number of 35 497 HIV/AIDS cases, aged ≥18 years were newly reported in Guangxi. Among them, 32 648 (92.0%) were infected heterosexually while 10 500 were infected through non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual behavior. Non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual transmission accounted for 29.6% (10 500/35 497) of the newly reported HIV/AIDS cases, and 32.2% (10 500/32 648) of those with heterosexual transmission. Males counted for 53.5% (5 617/10 500) of non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual transmission and males to females ratio was 1.2∶1 (5 617∶4 883). Those married or had regular sexual partners counted for 55.9% (5 873/10 500). Commercial heterosexual transmission appeared the main mode of HIV transmission for males (64.4%,16 516/25 633) while main mode for females was non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual transmission and counted for 49.5% (4 883/9 864). Results from the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that adjusted OR of female HIV/AIDS infected HIV via non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual transmission, was 3.98 times (95%CI: 3.78-4.20) hight than that of males. Among the group aged<50 years and the aged 50-59 years, the adjusted ORs were 1.35 times (95%CI: 1.27-1.44) and 1.13 times (95%CI: 1.05-1.21) hight than that of aged ≥60 years. Those who were single/divorced/widowed, the adjusted OR was 1.53 times (95%CI: 1.45-1.61) hight than that of those married/regular partners. Those with junior high school education, high school education and above the adjusted ORs were 1.22 times (95%CI: 1.16-1.29) and 1.18 times (95%CI: 1.10-1.27), compared to those only with education levels of primary school or below. Conclusions: The number of HIV/AIDS cases via non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual transmission accounted for nearly 30.0% of all the routes of HIV transmission in Guangxi, 2015-2018. Female, aged<60 years old, single/divorced/widowed and having had junior and above high school education etc., appeared as risk factors on non-marital or non-commercial heterosexual transmission, among newly reported HIV/AIDS in Guangxi.

Abstract
Background:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease associated with changes in the articular cartilage and bone, severely affecting patients’ mobility and quality of life. Multiple factors including mechanical stress, metabolic alteration and inflammatory mediators are involved in the complex pathogenesis of OA[1]. Interventions targeting these pathogenic factors may contribute to the treatment of OA. MiRNAs are single strand non-coding small RNAs, which are regulated in chondrogenesis and OA[2,3]. Recent studies demonstrated that miRNAs are involved in the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway by different mechanisms[4]. These interactions suggest that NF-κB related miRNAs may be used as potential biomarkers and drug therapeutic targets in clinical treatment of OA. However, the relationship between miR-214-3p and NF-κB pathway remains poorly understood in OA.Objectives:This study aimed to test the expression and biological function of miR-214-3p in OA, and explore its mechanism in osteoarthritic chondrocytes.Methods:Articular primary chondrocytes were isolated from human cartilage samples, which were acquired from patients with end-stage knee OA at the time of total knee replacement surgery (n = 27), according to protocols approved by the Ethic Committee of Zhujiang Hospital. Real time PCR (RT-PCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH) were used to detect the expression of miR-214-3p in OA and non-OA cartilage tissues. Interference of miR-214-3p was conducted using inhibitor, while overexpression of miR-214-3p was performed with mimics. Metabolism of extracellular matrix was detected by RT-PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence in vitro. Flow cytometry were conducted to determine cell apoptosis. A luciferase reporter assay, was used to evaluate the interaction between miR-214-3p and its downstream target. Human chondrocytes were cotransfected with miR-214-3p and the IKBKB-overexpressing plasmid to confirm the interaction between miR-214-3p and NF-ĸB pathway. For in vivo studies, experimental OA was induced in 12-week-old male C57BL/6J mice by destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) surgery with miR-214-3p agomir intra-articular (IA) injection (once weekly for 12 days) or by IA injection (once weekly for 12 days) of miR-214-3p antiagomir. Mice were sacrificed 10 weeks after the first IA injection, and subjected to histological analyses.Results:MiR-214-3p was significantly reduced in human OA cartilage. The decreased expression of miR-214-3p in the OA cartilage tissues was directly associated with excessive apoptosis and imbalance between anabolic and catabolic factors of ECM. Mechanistically, we determined that miR-214-3p directly targeted IKBKB/IKK-b and thereby suppressed the activation of NF-ĸB pathway. IKBKB overexpression attenuated the inhibitory effect of miR-214-3p on NF-ĸB pathway. Furthermore, inhibition of miR-214-3p in mice joints triggered spontaneous cartilage loss and OA development, while IA injection of miRNA-214-3p agomir alleviated OA in the DMM mouse model.Conclusion:Our results reveal an important role of miR-214-3p in OA progression. MiR-214-3p was down-regulated while IKBKB was upregulated in OA. MiR-214-3p inhibits the NF-kB signaling pathway and suppresses the progression of OA through targeting IKBKB. Thus, miR-214-3p maybe a therapeutic target for OA.References:[1]Glyn-Jones S, Palmer AJR, Agricola R, Price AJ, Vincent TL, Weinans H, Carr AJ:Osteoarthritis.The Lancet2015,386(9991):376-387.[2]Nugent M:MicroRNAs: exploring new horizons in osteoarthritis.Osteoarthritis and cartilage2016,24(4):573-580.[3]Vicente R, Noel D, Pers YM, Apparailly F, Jorgensen C:Deregulation and therapeutic potential of microRNAs in arthritic diseases.Nature reviews Rheumatology2016,12(4):211-220.[4]Xu B, Li YY, Ma J, Pei FX:Roles of microRNA and signaling pathway in osteoarthritis pathogenesis.Journal of Zhejiang University Science B2016,17(3):200-208.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Chen Q, Gottlieb L, Liu D, Tang S, Bai Y. The nurse outcomes and patient outcomes following the High-Quality Care Project. Int Nurs Rev 2020; 67:362-371. [PMID: 32363689 DOI: 10.1111/inr.12587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2019] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 03/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been many single cross-sectional studies on nurse or patient outcomes. However, long-term evidence on improving nurse and patient outcomes is still limited. The High-Quality Care Project is a national project in China for improving nurse and patient outcomes by implementing primary nursing. AIM (1) To assess the long-term changes in nurse and patient outcomes in the context of the High-Quality Care Project. (2) To explore the potential influences of primary nursing on nurse and patient outcomes based on this study and broader existing evidence. METHODS The data of two cross-sectional studies were used for analysis. The two cross-sectional studies were conducted before (2009) and after (2016) the High-Quality Care Project. A total of 1376 nurses and 904 patients from 40 units of 10 tertiary hospitals were surveyed. Reliable and validated instruments were used to measure nurse and patient outcomes. Multilevel modelling was the main method for data analysis. RESULTS Nurses in 2016 were more satisfied than nurses in 2009 with most dimensions of nurse work environment and job satisfaction. However, they were not more satisfied with burnout, global job satisfaction or intention to leave their job. Nurses in 2016 also reported better quality of patient care and patient safety while their patients reported higher patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION The analysis of our results based on existing evidence indicates that primary nursing could be considered as a potentially effective way to improve nurse work environment and patient outcomes. More studies with rigorous study design from micro perspectives would be useful to further explore the direct effects of primary nursing on nurse or/and patient outcomes. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND NURSING POLICY Policymakers, healthcare service leaders and nurse managers should make efforts to provide multi-level supports to cultivate an encouraging environment for nurses to practice primary nursing, because the implementation of primary nursing may improve the nurse work environment and patient outcomes. Furthermore, improving nurse participation in hospital affairs and developing nursing discipline and education for increasing nursing staff resource and nurses' capacity - which all need policy and management supports - are crucial to further improve nurse and patient outcomes.

Qualitative and quantitative measures of prefemoral and quadriceps fat pads are associated with incident radiographic osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2020; 28:453-461. [PMID: 32061711 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2020.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 01/14/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if qualitative and quantitative measures of prefemoral fat pad (PFP) and quadriceps fat pad (QFP) are associated with incident radiographic osteoarthritis (iROA) over 4 years in the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) study. DESIGN Participants in this nested case-control study were selected from the OAI study with knees that had Kellgren Lawrence grades (KLG) of 0 or 1 at baseline. Case knees were defined by iROA (KLG≥ 2) over 4 years. Control knees without iROA were matched 1:1 with case knees. Magnetic resonance images (MRIs) were read at P0 (time of onset of iROA), P-1 (1 year prior to P0) and baseline, and used to assess PFP (i.e., prefemoral hyperintensity alteration, patellofemoral hyperintensity alteration, maximum axial area) and QFP (i.e., hyperintensity alteration, mass effect, maximum axial area). Conditional logistic regression analyses were performed to study the associations between PFP/QFP measures and iROA, after adjustment for covariates. RESULTS 354 case knees with iROA were matched to 354 control knees. 66.9% of the participants were female, with an average age of 60.1 years. PFP prefemoral hyperintensity alteration measured at three time points (OR [95%CI]: 1.46 [1.18-1.82], 1.50 [1.20-1.88], 1.52 [1.22-1.89] respectively), PFP maximum axial area (OR [95%CI]: 1.07 [1.01-1.14], 1.08 [1.01-1.15], 1.08 [1.02-1.15] respectively) and QFP hyperintensity alteration (OR [95%CI]: 1.59 [1.27-2.00], 1.44 [1.13-1.82], 1.38 [1.09-1.73] respectively) were significantly associated with iROA in multivariable conditional logistic analyses. QFP mass effect measured at BL and P-1 (OR [95%CI]: 1.42 [1.11-1.82], 1.33 [1.01-1.73] respectively) were significantly associated with iROA. CONCLUSIONS Qualitative and quantitative measures of PFP and QFP are associated with increased iROA over 4 years.

Abstract
The study of the strength and behavior of the antikaon-nucleon (K[over ¯]N) interaction constitutes one of the key focuses of the strangeness sector in low-energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this Letter a unique high-precision measurement of the strong interaction between kaons and protons, close and above the kinematic threshold, is presented. The femtoscopic measurements of the correlation function at low pair-frame relative momentum of (K^{+}p⊕K^{-}p[over ¯]) and (K^{-}p⊕K^{+}p[over ¯]) pairs measured in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=5, 7, and 13 TeV are reported. A structure observed around a relative momentum of 58 MeV/c in the measured correlation function of (K^{-}p⊕K^{+}p[over ¯]) with a significance of 4.4σ constitutes the first experimental evidence for the opening of the (K[over ¯]^{0}n⊕K^{0}n[over ¯]) isospin breaking channel due to the mass difference between charged and neutral kaons. The measured correlation functions have been compared to Jülich and Kyoto models in addition to the Coulomb potential. The high-precision data at low relative momenta presented in this work prove femtoscopy to be a powerful complementary tool to scattering experiments and provide new constraints above the K[over ¯]N threshold for low-energy QCD chiral models.

Abstract
Background: Sweet syndrome is a neutrophilic dermatosis that could be associated with malignancy, especially hematologic malignancy. Few studies have systematically elaborated on this disorder and its features related with hematologic malignancy. Objective: This study aimed to describe the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, and outcome of Sweet syndrome and to evaluate patient characteristics associated with hematologic malignancy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with Sweet syndrome at the Department of Dermatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from October 2010 to February 2019. Results: The study included 37 patients (16 men and 21 women), with a mean age of 53 years. Ten patients (27%) were classified as having malignancy-associated Sweet syndrome: nine with a hematologic malignancy including acute myeloid leukemia (4/9, 44%), myelodysplastic syndrome (4/9, 44%), and multiple myeloma (1/9, 11%) and one with a solid tumor diagnosed with liver carcinoma. The mean hemoglobin and platelet levels (P = 0.007 and P = 0.013, respectively), were significantly lower in patients with hematologic malignancy than in those with Sweet syndrome only. No significant difference in histopathology was found between patients with and without hematologic malignancy. Systemic corticosteroids were the most frequently used treatment (24/37, 65%). Higher mortality was found in patients with hematologic malignancy. Conclusion: It is important to assess Sweet syndrome patients who have laboratory evidence of lower hemoglobin and platelet levels for a hematologic malignancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antibodies against carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) were found to be a promising marker to evaluate joint damage and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, whether anti-CarP antibodies were present in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remained ambiguous. We have therefore undertaken this study to assess the levels of serum anti-CarP antibodies and to evaluate their clinical value in SLE. METHODS Serum levels of antibodies against carbamylated-vimentin (anti-Carp) were measured by enzyme immunosorbent assay in 100 patients with SLE, 76 with RA, 17 with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS), and 68 healthy controls. Data analyses between anti-Carp antibodies and other laboratory measures were performed using SPSS 24 software for Windows. RESULTS The levels of serum anti-CarP antibodies in patients with SLE were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. In addition, anti-CarP antibodies were present in SLE patients lacking the disease-specific antibodies, including anti-Smith-negative patients (24.4%, 21/86), anti-dsDNA-negative patients (29.3%, 12/41), anti-nucleosome-negative patients (21.4%, 9/42), and antiribosomal P protein antibody-negative patients (23.7%, 18/76). There were significant differences between the anti-CarP-positive and anti-CarP-negative SLE patients in clinical and laboratory features, such as age, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein, rheumatoid factor, third-generation cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP3), anticardiolipin, D-dipolymer, complement 3, immunoglobulin G (IgG), red blood cell count (RBC) and hemoglobin. After adjusting for age and disease duration, the high levels of anti-CarP antibodies were still correlated with low RBC, hemoglobin and high ESR, IgG and CCP3. Active SLE patients demonstrated higher anti-CarP IgG than inactive patients. Moreover, the levels of anti-CarP were significantly higher in SLE patients with arthralgia and/or arthritis than in those without joint involvement. CONCLUSIONS Anti-CarP antibodies were present in SLE patients and associated with the disease severity. These might provide a potential supplement to other specific autoantibodies for diagnosis of SLE and serve as a promising marker for measuring joint damage in the disease.
