Abstract
Objective: To assess the technical success rate, stent patency, clinical efficacy and complications of stent placement for filter-related chronic occlusion of the inferior vena cava. Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out for 12 patients with filter-related chronic occlusion of the inferior vena cava associated with severe post-thrombotic syndrome, who underwent stent placement after ineffective conservative therapy at Nanjing First Hospital from March 2016 to December 2018,9 males and 3 females, aged from 48 to 77 years, mean age 60 years, six had bilateral lower extremity symptoms and six had unilateral lower extremity symptoms.Technical success rate, stent patency, clinical efficacy and complications of stent placement were recorded. Clinical success was defined as relief of symptoms and a decrease in clinical, etiology, anatomy, and pathophysiology (CEAP) score for at least grade 1. Results: Stent placement in the unilateral or bilateral iliocaval occlusion was successful in 11 patients. The cause of technical failure in the single patient with failed stent placement was an inability to cross the occluded left iliacvein and the patient was treated with stent placement in the right iliocaval vein.There were 7 patients with inferior vena cava and unilateral iliocaval stent placement; 5 patients with inferior vena cava and bilateral iliocaval stent placement. Acute stent thrombosis occlusion occurred in 1 case after the operation, the blood flow recanalized after catheter-directed thrombolysis and re-stenting. All patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months, with an average of (13±6) months. During the follow-up period, CTV or venography of lower limbs showed that the blood flow in the stent was unobstructed. At the last follow-up, 12 patients were evaluated as clinically effective. Three patients had transient treatment of lateral lumbar pain during operation, which alleviated by themselves.No significant abdominal pain, severe hemorrhage, symptomatic pulmonary embolism and other complications related to treatment occurred in all patients during perioperative period and follow-up. Conclusion: Stent placement is safe and feasible in the treatment of filter-related chronic occlusion of the inferior vena cava, which can alleviate the clinical symptoms of severe post-thrombotic syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intraspinal paragonimiasis is a rare entity for which imaging findings have seldom been described. The present study investigated the MR imaging features of spinal paragonimiasis, thus providing diagnostic imaging evidence and exploring the possible pathogenesis of intraspinal paragonimiasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical and imaging findings of spinal paragonimiasis in 6 children were analyzed retrospectively. Spinal MR imaging was performed in all patients, 5 of whom also underwent enhanced MR imaging. The diagnosis was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in all cases and postoperative pathology in 4 cases. RESULTS All cases manifested as fusiform-shaped or beanlike masses in the extradural space in the thoracic spine. The extradural masses were connected with pleural lesions through the intervertebral foramen. The plain MR imaging scan showed mixed signals with predominant isointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI, among which 5 (5/6) masses presented as patchy hemorrhage with hyperintensity on T1WI. On enhanced scans, all masses (5/5) showed heterogeneous marked enhancement, with thickening and enhancement in the adjacent spinal meninges (5/5). Various degrees of spinal cord compression and edema were found in 5 cases (5/6). CONCLUSIONS MR imaging is sensitive for detecting and characterizing spinal paragonimiasis. The MR imaging features of intraspinal granulomas included localization to the extradural space and thoracic segment, connections between intraspinal lesions and pleural lesions through the intervertebral foramen, and hemorrhagic foci within the mass. These findings support an intraspinal mode of paragonimiasis pathogenesis: The Paragonimus larvae migrate from the chest into the extradural space through the intervertebral foramen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment options are limited for patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) following progression after first-line platinum-based therapy, particularly in Asian countries. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this randomised, open-label, phase III trial, we enrolled Asian patients aged ≥18 years, with histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent/metastatic HNSCC following first-line platinum-based therapy who were not amenable for salvage surgery or radiotherapy, and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0/1. Patients were randomised (2 : 1) to receive oral afatinib (40 mg/day) or intravenous methotrexate (40 mg/m2/week), stratified by ECOG performance status and prior EGFR-targeted antibody therapy. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by an independent central review committee blinded to treatment allocation. RESULTS A total of 340 patients were randomised (228 afatinib; 112 methotrexate). After a median follow-up of 6.4 months, afatinib significantly decreased the risk of progression/death by 37% versus methotrexate (hazard ratio 0.63; 95% confidence interval 0.48-0.82; P = 0.0005; median 2.9 versus 2.6 months; landmark analysis at 12 and 24 weeks, 58% versus 41%, 21% versus 9%). Improved PFS was complemented by quality of life benefits. Objective response rate was 28% with afatinib and 13% with methotrexate. There was no significant difference in overall survival. The most common grade ≥3 drug-related adverse events were rash/acne (4% with afatinib versus 0% with methotrexate), diarrhoea (4% versus 0%), fatigue (1% versus 5%), anaemia (<1% versus 5%) and leukopenia (0% versus 5%). CONCLUSIONS Consistent with the phase III LUX-Head & Neck 1 trial, afatinib significantly improved PFS versus methotrexate, with a manageable safety profile. These results demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of afatinib as a second-line treatment option for certain patients with recurrent or metastatic HNSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, which holds a high incidence in China. However, professional dermatologists who can diagnose psoriasis early and correctly are insufficient in China, especially in the rural areas. A smart approach to identify psoriasis by pictures would be highly adaptable countrywide and could play a useful role in early diagnosis and regular treatment of psoriasis. OBJECTIVES Design and evaluation of a smart psoriasis identification system based on clinical images (without relying on a dermatoscope) that works effectively similar to a dermatologist. METHODS A set of deep learning models using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) was explored and compared in the system for automatic identification of psoriasis. The work was carried out on a standardized dermatological dataset with 8021 clinical images of 9 common disorders including psoriasis along with full electronic medical records of patients built over the last 9 years in China. A two-stage deep neural network was designed and developed to identify psoriasis. In the first stage, a multilabel classifier was trained to learn the visual patterns for each individual skin disease. In the second stage, the output of the first stage was utilized to distinguish psoriasis from other skin diseases. RESULTS The area under the curve (AUC) of the two-stage model reached 0.981 ± 0.015, which outperforms a single-stage model. And, the classifier showed superior performance (missed diagnosis rate: 0.03, misdiagnosis rate: 0.04) than 25 Chinese dermatologists (missed diagnosis rate: 0.19, misdiagnosis rate: 0.10) in the diagnosis of psoriasis on 100 clinical images. CONCLUSIONS Using clinical images to identify psoriasis is feasible and effective based on CNNs, which also builds a solid technical base for smart care of skin diseases especially psoriasis using mobile/tablet applications for teledermatology in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Entire deletion of the azoospermia factor a (AZFa) region commonly results in non-obstructive-azoospermia (NOA). Although sY84 and sY86 are recommended as the first choice of sequence-tagged sites (STSs) primers in AZFa region, and their deletions suggest a very high probability of complete deletion of AZFa, extension analysis is now compulsory to identify the deletion pattern. OBJECTIVES We aim to verify that extension analysis is relevant in assessing the deletion pattern of AZF by reporting a family in which two normal fertile men were confirmed to have a deletion of sY84 and sY86. MATERIALS AND METHODS According to the EAA/EMQN recommendation, AZF evaluation was detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with six STSs, and extension analysis was performed to identify the deletion pattern due to the deletions of sY84 and sY86. And the further exploration was conducted to map the breakpoints of deleted DNA fragment. RESULTS Deletion of sY84 and sY86 was found in the case with coinstantaneous normal semen analysis. An identically partial deletion pattern of AZFa region with the absence of an hg38Y fragment (12470437~12690385, 219949 bp in total) was found in both the case and his father, which includes three pseudogenes and one non-coding-RNA gene. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The extension analysis has permitted the diagnosis of a partial AZFa deletion and confirmed the importance of the extension analysis in order to provide a more accurate prediction for the testis phenotype.

Abstract
We report on the nuclear dependence of transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) in the production of positively charged hadrons in polarized p^{↑}+p, p^{↑}+Al, and p^{↑}+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The measurements have been performed at forward rapidity (1.4<η<2.4) over the range of transverse momentum (1.8<p_{T}<7.0 GeV/c) and Feynman x (0.1<x_{F}<0.2). We observed positive asymmetries for positively charged hadrons in p^{↑}+p collisions, and significantly reduced asymmetries in p^{↑}+A collisions. These results reveal a nuclear dependence of TSSAs for charged-hadron production in a regime where perturbative techniques are applicable. These results provide new opportunities to use p^{↑}+A collisions as a tool to investigate the rich phenomena behind TSSAs in hadronic collisions and to use TSSAs as a new handle in studying small-system collisions.

Abstract
This paper presents a method for detecting the heat-dissipation capability of the slow-wave structure (SWS) in a helix traveling wave tube (TWT) using an external heat source. This method utilizes transient temperature rise detection technology and structure function method to nondestructively detect the heat-dissipation capability of SWS. An analytical model is built, and the method is verified by using the simulation tool ANSYS. Furthermore, a dedicated test probe is designed based on this method, and a 2.5-mm diameter helix TWT is measured. The results reveal that the method can effectively detect parts with large thermal resistance in SWS, thereby providing the basis for eliminating the failure products and improving the production process of SWS.

Abstract
Epitaxial graphene on SiC provides both an excellent source of high-quality graphene as well as an architecture to support its application. Although single-layer graphene on Si-face SiC has garnered extensive interest, many-layer graphene produced on C-face SiC could be significantly more robust for enabling applications. Little is known, however, about the structural properties related to the growth evolution at the buried interface for thick many-layer graphene. Using complementary X-ray scattering and neutron reflectivity as well as electron microscopy, we demonstrate that thick many-layer epitaxial graphene exhibits two vastly different length-scales of the buried interface roughness as a consequence of the Si sublimation that produces the graphene. Over long lateral length-scales the roughness is extremely large (hundreds of Å) and it varies proportionally to the number of graphene layers. In contrast, over much shorter lateral length-scales we observe an atomically abrupt interface with SiC terraces. Graphene near the buried interface exhibits a slightly expanded interlayer spacing (∼1%) and fluctuations of this spacing, indicating a tendency for disorder near the growth front. Nevertheless, Dirac cones are observed from the graphene while its domain size routinely reaches micron length-scales, indicating the persistence of high-quality graphene beginning just a short distance away from the buried interface. Discovering and reconciling the different length-scales of roughness by reflectivity was complicated by strong diffuse scattering and we provide a detailed discussion of how these difficulties were resolved. The insight from this analysis will be useful for other highly rough interfaces among broad classes of thin-film materials.

Abstract
The PHENIX collaboration presents first measurements of low-momentum (0.4<p_{T}<3 GeV/c) direct-photon yields from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=39 and 62.4 GeV. For both beam energies the direct-photon yields are substantially enhanced with respect to expectations from prompt processes, similar to the yields observed in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200. Analyzing the photon yield as a function of the experimental observable dN_{ch}/dη reveals that the low-momentum (>1 GeV/c) direct-photon yield dN_{γ}^{dir}/dη is a smooth function of dN_{ch}/dη and can be well described as proportional to (dN_{ch}/dη)^{α} with α≈1.25. This scaling behavior holds for a wide range of beam energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, for centrality selected samples, as well as for different A+A collision systems. At a given beam energy, the scaling also holds for high p_{T} (>5 GeV/c), but when results from different collision energies are compared, an additional sqrt[s_{NN}]-dependent multiplicative factor is needed to describe the integrated-direct-photon yield.

Abstract
Radiotherapy resistance remains the major factor limiting the radiotherapy efficacy in colorectal cancer. The Mre11-RAD50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex is known to play a critical role in the DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathways and thus facilitates radioresistance. Targeting MRN function can sensitize cancer cells to irradiation in some malignancies. In this study, we stably knocked down RAD50 protein in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines, HCT116 and DLD1, and evaluated their response to irradiation as well as the DSB repair dynamics. We observed that downregulation of RAD50 sensitized CRC cells to irradiation with reduction in DSB repair efficiency after exposure to irradiation. In addition, RAD50 was found to be upregulated in CRC cancerous tissue samples compared to non-cancerous adjacent tissues (NATs) and in patients who were resistant to RT. Elevated RAD50 expression was associated with poor patient survival in CRC. In conclusion, targeting RAD50 can serve as an efficient strategy to sensitize CRC cells to irradiation. RAD50 protein may be used as a biomarker for patient survival in CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is becoming more practical and effective than conservative treatment in improving the poor outcomes of patients with breast cancer liver metastasis (BCLM). However, there is no generally acknowledged set of standards for identifying BCLM candidates who will benefit from surgery. METHODS Between January 2011 and September 2018, 67 female BCLM patients who underwent partial hepatectomy were selected for analysis in the present study. Prognostic factors after hepatectomy were determined. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of overall survival (OS) and intrahepatic recurrence-free survival (IHRFS). RESULTS The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS of patients treated with surgery was 93.5%, 73.7% and 32.2%, respectively, with a median survival time of 57.59 months. The Pringle manoeuvre [hazard radio (HR) = 0.117, 95% CI0.015-0.942, p = 0.044] and an increased interval between breast surgery and BCLM diagnosis (HR0.178, 95% CI 0.037-0.869, p = 0.033) independently predicted improved overall survival for BCLM patients. The 1-, 2- and 3-year IHRFS of patients who underwent surgery was 62.8, 32.6% and 10.9%, respectively, with a median intrahepatic recurrence-free survival time of 13.47 months. Moderately differentiated tumours (HR 0.259, 95% CI 0.078-0.857, p = 0.027) and the development of liver metastasis more than 2 years after breast surgery (HR 0.270, 95% CI 0.108-0.675, p = 0.005) might be predictors of increased IHRFS. CONCLUSIONS An interval of more than 2 years between breast cancer surgery and liver metastasis seems to be an indication of liver surgery in BCLM patients. The Pringle manoeuvre and moderately differentiated tumours are potential predictors associated with OS and IHRFS, respectively, as benefits from liver resection. Studies with increased sample sizes are warranted to validate our results.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the change trend of HIV genetic subtypes and compare the first CD(4)(+)T cell counts of newly diagnosed HIV infected patients in Liuzhou from 1998 to 2012, and provide a reference for AIDS prevention and control. Methods: Newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients from 1998 to 2012 in Liuzhou were selected through national HIV/ADIS comprehensive response information management system. Their plasma samples were used for RNA gene extraction, amplification, sequencing and genotyping. Coharan-Armitage trend test was used to analyze the ratio trend of genetic subtypes and phylogenetic clusters of HIV and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test was used to compare the first CD(4)(+)T cell counts (CD(4)) of the different subtype HIV infected patients. Results: A total of 1 877 newly diagnosed HIV infected patients were included in the study. From 1998 to 2012, the proportions of CRF01_AE and CRF01_AE (Cluster 1) increased from 78.4% (76/97) to 91.5% (1 441/1 574), from 63.9% (62/97) to 74.0% (1 164/1 574), and the proportion of CRF07_BC decreased from 17.5% (17/97) to 4.6% (72/1 574), respectively (Z=4.632, P<0.001; Z=2.455, P=0.014; Z=-5.943, P<0.001). The median and interquartile range of the first CD(4) of the patients infected with subtype CRF01_AE (Cluster 1), CRF01_AE (Cluster 2), CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC were 230 (83-375), 215 (48-351), 365 (254-503) and 334 (206-479) cell/μl, respectively. The first CD(4) levels of the patients infected with subtype CRF01_AE (Cluster 1) or CRF01_AE (Cluster 2) were significantly lower than those of CRF07_BC (Z=-4.795, P<0.001; Z=-4.238, P<0.001). Conclusion: The genetic subtypes of HIV were mainly CRF01_AE in newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients and this subtype proportion was in increase and the first CD(4) levels of the patients were low in Liuzhou during 1998 to 2012.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) and Bacillus supplementation on sow performance, serum metabolites, and serum and placental oxidative status. Multiparous gestating sows (n = 130) with similar body conditions were randomly allocated to five groups (n = 26) receiving a basal diet (CON group) or a basal diet supplemented with 0.5% IMO (IMO group); 0.5% IMO and 0.02% Bacillus subtilis (IMO + S group); 0.5% IMO and 0.02% Bacillus licheniformis (IMO + L group); or 0.5% IMO, 0.02% Bacillus subtilis, and 0.02% Bacillus licheniformis (IMO + S+L group). There were no significant differences in the litter sizes among all dietary groups. The average piglet birth weight was improved in all treatment groups, and the placental efficiency was greater in the IMO + S and IMO + S+L groups than in the CON group (P < 0.05). The IMO + S+L group had increased the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and reduced the total cholesterol in umbilical venous serum (P < 0.05). Additionally, the malondialdehyde concentrations were greater in umbilical venous serum of piglets in all treatment groups relative to that in the CON piglets (P < 0.05). The placental total antioxidant capacity was increased in the IMO+L and IMO+S+L groups (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the growth hormone concentration in umbilical venous serum was greater (P < 0.05) in all treatment groups. Overall, IMO and Bacillus supplementation during late gestation resulted in a changed metabolism of sows, improved the placental antioxidant capacity, and increased the growth hormone concentrations in umbilical venous serum, which ultimately improved the piglet birth weight and placental efficiency.

Abstract
With the advance of sequencing technology, the number of sequenced plant genomes has been rapidly increasing. However, understanding of the gene function in these sequenced genomes lags far behind; as a result, many coding plant sequences in public databases are annotated as proteins with domains of unknown function (DUF). Function of a protein family DUF810 in rice is not known. In this study, we analysed seven members of OsDU810 (OsDUF810.1-OsDUF810.7) family with three distinct motifs in rice Nipponbare. By phylogenetic analysis, OsDUF810 proteins fall into three major groups (I, II, III). Expression patterns of the seven corresponding OsDUF810 protein-encoding genes in 15 different rice tissues vary. Under drought, salt, cold and heat stress conditions and ABA treatment, the expression of OsDUF810.7 significantly increases. Overexpression of this protein in E. coli lead to a significant enhancement of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities, and improved bacterial resistance to salt and drought.

Abstract
Most receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) contribute to tumor growth, and their ubiquitination and degradation is related to the inhibition of tumor growth. Our previous study showed that the ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b was expressed at low levels in multidrug-resistant (MDR) gastric cancer cells compared with their parental cells. However, whether enhancement of Cbl-b expression in MDR cancer cells could prevent tumor proliferation via ubiquitination and degradation of RTK remains unclear. In the present study, Cbl-b overexpression reduced cell proliferation in MDR gastric and breast cancer cells, and effectively inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Additionally, Cbl-b overexpression reduced the total protein level of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1R), an important member of the RTK family. Moreover, Cbl-b overexpression promoted interaction of Cbl-b with IGF-1R, and induced ubiquitination and degradation of IGF-1R and inactivation of the IGF-1R pathway. These results suggest that the ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b inhibited tumor growth via ubiquitination and degradation of IGF-1R in MDR gastric and breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Bacteria from the Saccharibacteria phylum (formerly known as TM7) are ubiquitous members of the human oral microbiome and are part of the Candidate Phyla Radiation. Recent studies have revealed remarkable 16S rRNA diversity in environmental and mammalian host-associated members across this phylum, and their association with oral mucosal infectious diseases has been reported. However, due to their recalcitrance to conventional cultivation, TM7's physiology, lifestyle, and role in health and diseases remain elusive. The recent cultivation and characterization of Nanosynbacter lyticus type strain TM7x (HMT_952)-the first Saccharibacteria strain coisolated as an ultrasmall obligate parasite with its bacterial host from the human oral cavity-provide a rare glimpse into the novel symbiotic lifestyle of these enigmatic human-associated bacteria. TM7x is unique among all bacteria: it has an ultrasmall size and lives on the surface of its host bacterium. With a highly reduced genome, it lacks the ability to synthesize any of its own amino acids, vitamins, or cell wall precursors and must parasitize other oral bacteria. TM7x displays a highly dynamic interaction with its bacterial hosts, as reflected by the reciprocal morphologic and physiologic changes in both partners. Furthermore, depending on environmental conditions, TM7x can exhibit virulent killing of its host bacterium. Thus, Saccharibacteria potentially affect oral microbial ecology by modulating the oral microbiome structure hierarchy and functionality through affecting the bacterial host's physiology, inhibiting the host's growth dynamics, or affecting the relative abundance of the host via direct killing. At this time, several other uncharacterized members of this phylum have been detected in various human body sites at high prevalence. In the oral cavity alone, at least 6 distinct groups vary widely in relative abundance across anatomic sites. Here, we review the current knowledge on the diversity and unique biology of this recently uncovered group of ultrasmall bacteria.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and impulse oscillometry (IOS) in screening out cough variant asthma (CVA) from patients with subacute cough. Methods: Patients with subacute cough were included from the outpatient department of Respiratory Medicine of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from May to October in 2016. Based on "the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of cough (2015 edition)" , patients were classified into CVA group, and non CVP group with other causes of subacute cough. Lung function, bronchial provocation test, FeNO and IOS were measured. The diagnostic efficiency and optimal cut-off points of FeNO and IOS indicators to diagnose CVA from subacute cough were respectively assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: A total of 85 patients with subacute cough were included. Among them, 35 patients were diagnosed with CVA (CVA group), the others are classified as non CVP group (n=50). In CVA group, the levels of FeNO and total respiratory impedance (Zrs) were significantly higher, while maximal mid expiratory flow (MMEF)%pred, and mid expiratory flow (MEF)75/50/25%pred, reactance at 5 Hz (X5) levels were significantly lower than those in non CVP group (all P<0.05). Furthermore, the FeNO had a positive correlation with Zrs and Fres (ρ=0.312, P=0.003 and ρ=0.318, P=0.003, respectively), had a negative correlation with X5 (ρ=-0.288, P=0.007). A ROC analysis indicated that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of FeNO in diagnosis of CVA was 0.786 (95% CI: 0.684-0.889), the best cut-off point of FeNO volume ratio was 24.5×10(-9). When FeNO volume ratio=24.5×10(-9,) the sensitivity of in diagnosing CVA was 77.8%, specificity was 70.0%. The AUC for Zrs and X5 were 0.679 and 0.687, respectively. The combination of FeNO and X5 had a greater AUC than other indicators (AUC: 0.817, 95% CI: 0.726-0.908), the sensitivity and specificity were 80.6% and 66.0%, respectively. Conclusion: Both FeNO level and IOS index can be used to screen CVA in patients with subacute cough, and the combination of both have better value in diagnosing CVA.

Abstract
Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies have led to remarkable clinical responses in cancers such as melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer. In breast cancer, current immunotherapy trials have placed an emphasis on triple negative breast cancers (TNBC), where early results suggest response rates of 10-20%. Thus, it is critical to identify predictive biomarkers to enhance patient selection for immunotherapy. With this goal in mind, we simulated a clinical trial employing anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA therapies in immune-intact genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) of TNBC. Testing of ICI therapies on 8 different GEMMs demonstrated that each model was resistant. Whole exome sequencing showed that each model also harbored a low mutation burden. Given that mutation load is predictive of immunotherapy response in other cancer types, and that Apobec3B activity is associated with higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) in breast cancer, we created two different tumor lines with overexpression of murine Apobec3.
In contrast to the parental lines, the Apobec3 overexpressing lines showed an elevated tumor mutation burden and new mutations were consistent with the Apobec mutation signature. These TNBC lines with new mutations resulting from Apobec3 activity were exquisitely sensitive to anti-PD1/anti-CTLA4 combination therapy; as assessed by reduction in tumor volume and extended overall survival. To identify features that predict response, we examined resistant and sensitive tumors at pretreatment, at 1 week of treatment, and at end stage by flow cytometry and mRNA-seq. Gene expression profiling identified multiple immune signatures as predictive of response to ICI therapy; specifically CD8+ T-effector memory cells, CD4+ T-cells, and activated B-Cells. Similarly, gene expression analysis showed that these cell types increased at 1 week of therapy in sensitive models but not in resistant models. Flow cytometry confirmed these predictions.
Next, we used an antibody based approach to separately deplete CD4+ T-Cells, CD8+ T-cells, or B-cells in Apobec3 mutagenized murine tumors receiving aPD1/aCTLA4 combination therapy. In each case, depletion of these populations significantly reduced the therapeutic response. However, mice receiving combination immunotherapy and depleted for CD8+ T-cells still exhibited a significant extension in overall survival compared to non-treated controls. In contrast, the CD4+ T-cell depleted mice and B-cell depleted mice exhibited no ICI therapeutic benefit.
Together, these data point to key immune biomarkers of response to anti-PD1/anti-CTLA4 therapy; we have further developed a genomic predictor of ICI response using our murine models and will test this on a human TNBC data set. Lastly, this GEMM system provides a rich RNA-seq resource, and new immune-activated models for TNBC, which uncovered a key role for B-cells and CD4+ T-cells in response to ICI therapies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Therapeutic targets in TNBC remain a challenge. We have observed that some Luminal A primary breast tumors give rise to HER2-enriched (HER2E) subtype metastases but remain clinically HER2 negative (HER2E/cHER2-). Molecular features that drive these HER2E/cHER2- tumors may represent key targets of metastatic progression.
Methods: A comparative genetic and transcriptomic analysis in TCGA (1100 patients) related to the FGFR family was performed. We focused on FGFR4, in part, due to its unique association with the HER2E expression subtype and we developed a robust FGFR4-signature based upon a supervised analysis of a HER2E/cHER2- PDX (WHIM11) treated with a FGFR4 inhibitor (BLU9931). We also constructed a new Luminal Tumor Score (LTS) to identify the optimal axis of separation between Luminal A versus HER2E tumors (higher scores represent greater Luminal A phenotype). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using TCGA and METABRIC (1971 samples). Finally, we performed RNA-seq on a cohort of 77 matched primary breast cancer and metastatic tissues pairs from the GEICAM/2009-03 and Hospital Clinic of Barcelona study, and did multiple analyses on these cohorts using our FGFR4-signatures.
Results: FGFR4 was significantly higher in HER2E subtype (P<0.0001), independent of HER2 clinical status. FGFR4 amplification/deletions and mutations were rare and did not correlate with FGFR4 high expression. In vivo, BLU9931 treatment of WHIM11 showed a significant tumor growth inhibition (P=0.01), prolonged survival, and a significant higher LTS (P=0.016). We also identified 745 up-regulated genes called FGFR4-repressed (FGFR4-rep) and 427 down regulated genes called FGFR4-induced (FGFR4-ind), after BLU9931 treatment. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that FGFR4-ind genes were enriched for STAT3, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and KRAS activation, proliferation, hypoxia, glycolysis and metastasis. FGFR4-rep genes were involved with KRAS inhibition, cell polarity, p53 pathway and upregulation of IFNγ response. In the METABRIC cohort, FGFR4-ind and FGFR4-rep each predicted OS (HR=6.30, P<0.0001; HR=0.33; P<0.0001, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed FGFR4-ind (HR=2.34, P=0.014) as a significant independent prognostic factor beyond subtype for OS. Supervised analysis of the 77 primary-met cohort revealed that the FGFR4-ind was significantly higher in luminal metastases compared with their primaries counterparts (P<0.001), along with proliferation, angiogenesis, and a M2 macrophage signature (with most other immune features being unchanged). Finally, univariate and multivariate analysis demonstrated that the FGFR4-related signatures predicted site-specific metastasis for lung, liver and brain, but not for bone and lymph nodes.
Conclusion: FGFR4 is one of the drivers of HER2-enriched subtype tumors, including those that are clinically HER2-. The FGFR4-ind signature was predictive of worse survival, progression in the metastatic setting, and site-specific metastasis. Treatment options in HER2-enriched TNBC, and for HER2E/cHER2+ patients, may benefit from targeting FGFR4, whose high expression is not based upon genomic or genetic features.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Around 70% of all breast cancers (BCs) are estrogen receptor positive (ER+), but some do not respond to endocrine therapy (ET) and many eventually develop resistance. ESR amplification (ESRA) linked to an increase in ESR1 gene expression is known to occur in some cancers that are endocrine resistant. However, the incidence of ESRA has been the object of debate and its clinical significance remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of ESRA in BCs resistant to multiple sequential ETs and optimise a fluorescence in-situ hybridisation (FISH) methodology to robustly detect ESRA.
Methods: Two unique cohorts have been studied:
(A) 20 post-menopausal women with ER+ BC with acquired resistance to letrozole, subsequently treated with up to 4 different lines of ET. Serial RNA and DNA from 3-5 cancer samples per patient (58 samples from 20 patients) were analysed by Ribo0-RNAseq and DNA exome sequencing;
(B) 18 post-menopausal women who developed ER+ BC recurrences on 1st line adjuvant letrozole, then on 2nd line tamoxifen and subsequently on 3rd line exemestane. Tissues were collected at the time of each surgery.
We have optimised a FISH method to assess ESRA in these tissues.
Results: In cohort A, 6/20 patients developed ESR1 gene amplification (ESRA) at some point during treatment. In 5 of these cases, ESRA was only found while on 2nd or 3rd line exemestane but was not present on acquired resistance to previous letrozole or tamoxifen. 1 patient had ESRA at the time of first recurrence on letrozole.
The FISH method showed concordance with the genomic analysis. This suggests that ESRA may be associated with BCs that are treated with and then become resistant to exemestane.
ESRA is also evident in samples from Cohort B, which includes 18 exemestane resistant cases. The complete analysis is ongoing.
Conclusions:
· ESRA can be seen in ER+ recurrent BCs.
· ESRA may be associated with BCs treated with 2nd or 3rd line exemestane.
· The frequency of ESRA in endocrine and exemestane resistance can now be ascertained using an optimised FISH-based method, which is more cost-effective than alternative genomic and biochemical methods.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Approximately 70% of breast cancers (BCs) are estrogen receptor positive (ER+). Not all ER+ cancers respond to endocrine therapy (ET) and many eventually develop acquired resistance. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shown ESR1 mutations (ESRMs) are present in 10-50% of recurrent/metastatic cancers treated with aromatase inhibitors (AIs). Many of these mutations are located in the ligand-binding domain of ER, so they can lead to constitutive activation. This suggests ESRMs are a major mechanism of acquired resistance to endocrine therapy (ET) and numerous studies have shown a link between ESRMs and reduced sensitivity to 2nd line ET. The aim of this project was to investigate the incidence and clonal evolution of common ESRMs in BCs resistant to multiple sequential ETs using NGS, as well as novel PCR and in situ mutation detection methods.
Methods: We have optimised an allele-specific real-time PCR (rtPCR) assay and an in situ mutation detection method (ER-ISMD) for the assessment of ESRMs. Both have been designed to identify a missense gain-of-function D538G mutation with a single nucleotide-resolution in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) BC tissues.
Two unique cohorts have been studied:
(A) 20 post-menopausal women (PMW) with ER+ BC who acquired resistance to letrozole and were treated with up to 4 subsequent lines of ET. Serial RNA and DNA from 3-5 cancer samples per patient (58 samples from 20 patients) were analysed by Ribo0-RNAseq, DNA exome sequencing, rtPCR and ER-ISMD.
(B) 150 PMW with ER+ BC who developed local (n=79), lymph node (n=59) or distant (n=12) recurrences on 1st line adjuvant letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen. Of these, 48 patients developed subsequent recurrences on 2nd line ET. Tissue samples from each recurrence and matched primary BC were collected.
Results: In cohort A, 5/20 patients (20%) had expansion of a D538G ESR1 mutation clone at time of resistance 1st line ET (3:letrozole, 1:anastrozole, 1:tamoxifen). The mutant allele frequency (MAF) increased further in the 4 BCs treated with 2nd line ET (2:tamoxifen, 2:exemestane) and further still in the 1 BC who received 3rd line exemestane. 0/6 patients with ESRM responded to subsequent ET. Allele-specific rtPCR and ER-ISMD have been used to validate these findings and also identified low frequency ESRM clones in the sequential samples prior to the development of clinical resistance, that were not reported by NGS. Both methods have also been applied to screen tissues from patients in cohort B, where ESRMs have also been identified in recurrent samples. Complete analysis is currently ongoing.
Conclusions:
· ESRMs develop and expand in some BCs as a mechanism for acquired resistance to ET and are associated with a lack of response to subsequent standard ETs.
· Allele-specific rtPCR can detect ESRMs and is more cost-effective and easier to use than NGS for ER mutation analysis.
· Some ESRMs predate clinical resistance.
· ER-ISMD is a novel approach that allows for identification and visualisation of the distribution of mutant clones in morphologically intact FFPE tissue.
· ER-ISMD has the potential to become a clinically useful tool to help direct the use of 2nd line ET in routine care.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Transcriptomic analyses of clinical samples can help improve our understanding of disease aetiology, drug effectiveness, assign molecular subtypes and derive prognostic signatures for clinical decision-making. The success of early microarray studies relied heavily on sample quality and predominantly fresh frozen (FF) tissues to generate reliably robust data. The emergence of next-generation microarray and sequencing-based technologies from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues provides an opportunity to study archival clinical tissues with long-term follow-up. Here we assess 9 technologies, which vary in resolution, cost and RNA requirements, with matched FF and FFPE tissues from the same patient.
Methods: Sequential tumour biopsies were taken pre-treatment and on-treatment (at 14-days and 3-months) from 11 postmenopausal patients with oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer treated with 3 months of neoadjuvant letrozole. Half of each sample was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and half was FFPE, RNA was extracted from both. Transcriptomic analyses were performed using 9 technologies: Illumina Beadarray, Affymetrix U133A, Affymetrix Clariom S, NanoString nCounter, AmpliSeq Transcriptome, Lexogen QuantSeq and IonXpress RNAseq, Tempo-Seq BioSpyder and Qiagen UPX3'.
Results: Success rates for generating robust expression profiles from FFPE tissues were 100% all except the Illumina BeadChip (22%) and AmpliSeq Transcriptome (83%) , which varied by the age of tissue. With the total number and position of probes/primers/counts varying widely between approaches, in total 7305 genes were represented across all of the whole-genome technologies tested.
Clear batch effects were evident when comparing data from FF and FFPE tissues and when comparing between different technologies. Standard batch correction approaches such as XPN and ComBat minimised technical bias effect and increased the correlations between matched samples (FF and FFPE) to R>0.9, irrespective of the technology used.
When analysed by multi-dimensional scaling following batch correction, samples clustered by treatment time-point. When ranked by expression of 60 proliferation genes, reported by us to change with letrozole treatment, samples ordered again by time-point, consistent with our previous findings, and paired samples clustered together.
Conclusions:
· Robust gene expression profiles can be reliably generated from FFPE tissues and are comparable to those derived from FF tissue using established transcriptomic approaches.
· A range of new technologies are available for the study of FFPE tissues; these vary in cost, resolution and RNA requirements to fit the user's needs.
· Gene expression data from biologically similar studies, generated using different technologies, can be reliably integrated for robust meta-analysis, subject to appropriate batch correction analysis.

Abstract
Objective: To reduce the occurrence of adverse events of clinical blood use by analyzing the clinical adverse events of blood use except for the adverse reactions of blood transfusion. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 294 cases of adverse events of clinical blood use other than adverse blood transfusion reactions in Shijitan hospital from January 2014 to December 2017, and a statistical analysis was made on the types of adverse events of clinical blood use, blood transfusion related departments, and internal and surgical blood use. Results: The incidence of adverse events of clinical blood use was 10.3‰, 9.6‰, 4.2‰ and 4.6‰ in these 4 years respectively, and there were 216 cases (73.5%) of external departments, 49 cases (16.7%) of internal departments, 8 cases (2.7%) of nursing departments, and 21 cases of others(7.1%), which includes 12 cases of errand department, 4 cases of the clinical laboratory and 5 cases of transfusion department. The adverse events of clinical blood use were divided into 4 types: 71 cases (24.1%) of transfusion process problems, 36 cases (12.2%) of clinical communication between departments, 182 cases (61.9%) of clinical unreasonable transfusion and 5 others (1.8%). There were statistically significant differences in the occurrence of adverse events of different types of blood use in external and internal departments based on the property of the department, among which there were significant differences in unreasonable transfusion between them. According to the purpose of blood use, there were statistically significant differences in the occurrence of different types of adverse events between the two departments, and the incidence of different types of external departments were higher than that of internal departments. Conclusions: The incidence of adverse events of blood use in external departments is higher than that in internal departments. Reasonable transfusion should be strengthened to avoid the occurrence of adverse events of clinical blood use, so as to ensure the safety of blood transfusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to establish a predictive in vitro method for assessing the photoprotective properties of sunscreens using a reconstructed full-thickness skin model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A full-thickness skin model reconstructed with human fibroblasts and keratinocytes isolated from Chinese skin was exposed to daily UV radiation (DUVR). We examined the transcriptomic response, identifying genes for which expression was modulated by DUVR in a dose-dependent manner. We then validated the methodology for efficacy evaluation of different sunscreens formulas. RESULTS The reconstructed skin model was histologically consistent with human skin, and upon DUVR exposure, the constituent fibroblasts and keratinocytes exhibited transcriptomic alterations in pathways associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and extracellular matrix remodelling. When used to evaluate sunscreen protection on the model, the observed level of protection from UV-induced gene expression was consistent with the corresponding protection factors determined clinically and allowed for statistical ranking of sunscreen efficacy. CONCLUSIONS Within this study we show that quantification of gene modulation within the reconstructed skin model is a biologically relevant approach with sensitivity and predictability to evaluate photoprotection products.

Abstract
Functionalizing graphene to develop on-demand nanodevices is highly desirable, but still remains challenging. Here, we theoretically propose the functionalization of armchair graphene nanoribbons by low-concentration metal (M) atom (M = Ti, Ni, Sn, or Hg) doping and investigate the structural stability and electronic behaviors of these doped systems in depth. The calculated binding energy and formation energy as well as the molecular dynamics simulation show that the geometries of these hybridized ribbons are rather stable. With metal doping, the ribbons present rich and flexibly tunable bandgaps, depending on the metal atom and doping position, which can be attributed to newly emerged hybridized subbands near the Fermi level and the entire energy band structure shifting upward due to the increased electron number in the ribbon donated from the dopant. These bandgaps can also be further tuned substantially by the stress. And the carrier mobility is calculated based on the deformation potential theory, which shows that the different metal doping can effectively control the carrier mobility, and a large carrier polarity can also be clearly observed. Furthermore, the metal doping can significantly enhance the device properties of the ribbon as compared with those of the pristine ribbon, such as creating a large negative differential resistance phenomenon. These studies demonstrate that these doping systems might hold promising applications in nano-electronics.

Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study is to analysis the correlation between nasal and eye symptom and psychological status in patients with allergic rhinitis, in order to provide a basis for improving the mental health of patients. Method:The nasal symptom score scale, eye symptom score scale and Kessler 10 were used in the study, and the survey data was analyzed. Result:At least one of 147 patients had a nasal symptom at a rate of 100% (147/147); at least one ocular symptom was 86.4% (127/147). Of the 147 patients, 29 had K10 scores more than 21.The nasal symptom including nasal congestion, itching, eye pain, eye swelling, tearing positively correlated with K10 total score. Conclusion:The clinical staffs must pay attention to the mental health status of AR patients, strengthen the assessment of nasal symptoms, eye symptoms and mental status, and give targeted intervention to patients with poor mental health.

Abstract
Asymmetric nuclear collisions of p+Al, p+Au, d+Au, and ^{3}He+Au at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV provide an excellent laboratory for understanding particle production, as well as exploring interactions among these particles after their initial creation in the collision. We present measurements of charged hadron production dN_{ch}/dη in all such collision systems over a broad pseudorapidity range and as a function of collision multiplicity. A simple wounded quark model is remarkably successful at describing the full data set. We also measure the elliptic flow v_{2} over a similarly broad pseudorapidity range. These measurements provide key constraints on models of particle emission and their translation into flow.
