Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The AUTOFRAME platform has been previously developed for automating clinical workflows and has achieved L3 automation for patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA). The aim of this study is to further develop the platform to achieve L4 automation, which extends AUTOFRAME to operate Varian's control console (VCC) for the linear accelerator. The goal is to automate all PSQA operations outside of the treatment room. MATERIALS/METHODS The automated stages, listed in Table 1, are ranging from L0 to L5. The current study focuses on L4 automation of PSQA, which uses a 6-axis robot arm to control buttons on the VCC. The robotic arm is mounted on a custom frame that is attached onto the VCC to maintain its relative position. The arm is controlled through python scripts, which is run on a raspberry pi and communicates with the AUTOFRAME platform via the PyFlow and AutoFlow subsystems. This integration allows the robotic arm to receive commands from AutoFlow and execute them through PyFlow, activating real-time button-pressing actions. RESULTS The integrated L4 system was tested using real PSQA verification plans, which involved a minimum of 4 actions and a maximum of 9 actions on the VCC, including a couch kick that required overriding the couch position. The results showed that the 6-axis arm was able to correctly execute the action groups and guide the robotic arm to consistently press and hold each button with sufficient force and accuracy. All buttons on the VCC, including the Motion-enable, Preparing, Readying, and Delivering buttons, were correctly pushed and held according to the PSQA steps. The system successfully delivered all beams without interruption, and all beam delivery data was collected by the detector for PSQA analysis. CONCLUSION The study has further developed the AUTOFRAME platform for L4 automation of PSQA procedures can be achieved. The robotic arm is capable of pushing all required buttons, eliminating all human interactions on the VCC. When combined with previous L0-L3 automations, this will move towards full automation of PSQA procedures. Future work will focus on improving the system's flexibility, stability, and extending its operations to other QA tasks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to research gene expression profiles and diagnostic applications of meningeal carcinoma based on bioinformatics. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to obtain the GSE43290 dataset based on the expression data of normal meninges and meningiomas consisting of 51 samples divided into two groups (47 samples of meningioma tumors and four samples of normal meninges). We used the GEO2R tool to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by setting the log2 fold change as greater than two and an adjusted p-value lower than 0.05. We used the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery (DAVID) to perform gene ontology, biological pathways and functional annotation of the DEGs. A search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Gene database (STRING) was used to obtain Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) and modular networks based on the Markov clustering algorithm. RESULTS Our study identified 358 significant DEGs, of which 343 were downregulated genes while 15 were upregulated. Five significant hub genes (CXCL8, AGT, CXCR4, CXCL12 and CXCL2) were associated with various biological pathways, molecular functions and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. The DEGs were enriched in biological pathways of chemokine-mediated signaling, positive regulation of leukocyte chemotaxis, second messenger-mediated signaling, induction of positive chemotaxis, CXCR chemokine receptor binding and activities of cytokines. CONCLUSIONS These hub genes and pathways could be targeted in clinical research to discover new treatments for meningeal carcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In the metastatic setting, there is uncertain benefit to localized eradication of one or more lesions that are progressing despite systemic therapy. This randomized phase II trial examined if patients with ≤5 sites of oligoprogression benefited from the addition of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) to standard of care (SOC) systemic therapy. MATERIALS/METHODS Eligibility criteria included age ≥18 years, ECOG performance status 0-2, and oligoprogressive disease, defined as 1-5 lesions actively progressing while on systemic therapy. Patients were required to have at least 3 months of disease stability/response on systemic therapy prior to oligoprogression. After stratifying by type of systemic therapy (cytotoxic vs. non-cytotoxic), patients were randomized 2:1 to SABR to all progressing lesions plus SOC (SABR arm) vs. SOC alone (SOC arm). The trial began exclusive to non-small cell lung cancer but did not meet accrual goals and was expanded in 2019 to include all non-hematologic malignancies. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), lesional control, quality of life (QOL), toxicity, and duration of current systemic agent post-SABR. RESULTS Between February 2017 and June 2021, 90 patients with 125 oligoprogressive metastases were enrolled across 8 Canadian institutions, with 59 patients randomized to SABR and 31 to SOC. Median age was 67 years (IQR: 61-73 years) and 39 (43%) were female. The most common primary sites were lung (44% of patients), genitourinary (23%) and breast (13%), with the most common oligo-progressive locations being lung (43%), bone (19%), lymph nodes (14%), and liver (13%). In the SABR arm, the most common fractionations were 35 Gy/5 (38% of lesions) and 50 Gy/5 (18%). Protocol adherence in the SOC arm was suboptimal: 3 patients (10%) withdrew immediately after randomization, and 7 additional patients (23%) received high-dose or ablative therapies. Median follow-up was 31 months. There was no difference in PFS between arms (median PFS 8.4 months in the SABR arm vs. 4.3 months in the SOC arm; however, the curves cross and 2-year PFS was 9% vs. 24% respectively, p = 0.91). Median OS was 31.2 months vs. 27.4 months, respectively (p = 0.22). Lesional control with SABR was 71% vs. 39% with SOC (p = 0.002). Median duration of post-randomization first-line systemic therapy was 10.3 months vs. 7.6 months, respectively (p = 0.71). Treatment was well-tolerated with 2 (3.4%) grade 3 treatment-related toxicities in the SABR arm and no grade 4/5 related events in either arm. QOL did not differ between arms. CONCLUSION Despite being a well-tolerated treatment providing superior lesional control, SABR for oligoprogression did not improve PFS or OS. Results may have been impacted by withdrawals and desire for ablative treatments on the SOC arm, and this lack of equipoise may make accrual to phase III trials difficult, although larger studies in select sub-populations are desired.

Impact of shift work on dementia: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis. Public Health 2023; 223:80-86. [PMID: 37625271 DOI: 10.1016/j.puhe.2023.07.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although shift work has been reported as having a link to dementia, evidence remains inconsistent, and a comprehensive dose-response meta-analysis of the association is still lacking. We therefore conducted this meta-analysis to explore the association between shift work and the risk of dementia. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched. Fixed or random-effects models were used to estimate the summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Generalized least squares regression was used to estimate dose-response associations, and restricted cubic splines were used to examine possible linear or non-linear associations. RESULTS Five articles (10 studies) with 72,999 participants and 23,067 cases were eventually included in the meta-analysis. The summary RRs and 95% CIs of dementia risk with shift work and night shift work versus daytime work were 1.13 (95% CI: 1.05-1.21, I2 = 46.70%) and 1.13 (95% CI: 1.03-1.24, I2 = 9.20%), respectively. The risk of dementia increased by 1% (RR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.01-1.02, I2 = 41.3%) with each 1-year increase in the duration of shift work. We found a non-linear dose-response association between the duration of shift work and the risk of dementia (Pnon-linearity = 0.006). Though the shape of the curve was steeper with the duration of shift work <7 years, the increase was more gradual after 7 years. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that shift work may be a risk factor for future dementia and that controlling the length of shift work is a feasible measure that may contribute to prevent dementia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its correlation with disease burden and markers in Fabry disease, a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disease. METHODS We collected brain MRI data from seventy-one Chinese patients with Fabry disease. CSVD was evaluated using an age-related white matter change rating scale, Fazekas scale, enlarged perivascular spaces grading scale, lacunar infarction scale, Microbleed Anatomical Rating Scale, global cortical atrophy scale, and small-vessel disease score. Factors associated with MRI lesions, including sex, clinical subtype, disease severity, disease burden, genotype, and biomarkers, were also analyzed. RESULTS Of 71 patients, 16 (22.5%) experienced ischemic stroke. The incidences of lacunar infarctions, white matter hyperintensities, and cerebral microbleeds were 55%, 62%, and 33%, respectively. The abnormal MRI group had later disease onset, longer disease duration, and a higher Mainz Severity Score Index (p < 0.05) than the normal MRI group. Patients with more severe clinical phenotypes also had higher CVSD-related scores. Sex and GLA mutational type were not closely associated with brain MRI lesions. Of the disease markers, the Mainz Severity Score Index and plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3) were closely correlated with the majority of the MRI scores, whereas α-galactosidase A activity was not. CONCLUSION Brain MRI revealed progressive lacunar infarctions, white matter hyperintensities, and decreased brain volume in patients with Fabry disease. Brain MRI lesions were closely related to onset-age; disease duration, severity, burden; and plasma Lyso-Gb3. However, they were not associated with sex, α-galactosidase A activity, or GLA mutation type.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To develop a complete, robust, adaptable and fully customizable software interface for assisting treatment planning procedures on FDA approved commercial system. This will standardize treatment planning process and provide opening interface to other third-party clinical software packages, and introduce AI inference to optimize plan without breaking current clinical planning workflow. MATERIALS/METHODS Based on our clinical planning workflow, Varian Eclipse TPS were used. The general HID interface AUTOFLOW was developed with scripting language AutoIt and includes optical character reorganization (OCR) ability. The AUTOFLOW is fully customizable and adaptable for different VMAT planning process. The planning workflow and objective constraints template defined by Northwell health, CFAM are applied. AUTOFLOW operates automatically 3 standard planning interfaces (contouring, external beam planning and optimization) of Eclipse based on information in action tables. The information in the tables, such as auxiliary structures, field set up and initial optimization parameters, can be preset according to the plan template or from other 3rd party packages. Based on Northwell CFAM clinical planning protocol, the planning starts from post-contour approval. AUTOFLOW operates Eclipse to create auxiliary structures, set up planning fields then initiate plan optimization. During the optimization, the AUTOFLOW fills the constraint parameters and monitor the objective goals achievement by OCR. The updated parameters are introduced with our developing machine learning package. The whole planning process were assisted by AUTOFLOW automatically, while the planner can intercept the planning process as need. RESULTS The general interface, AUTOFLOW was developed and applied to automatically assist the VMAT procedure in prostate cases. For each prostate case, more than 213 human HID operations on computers were removed from the plan procedure in our CFAM planning protocol. 12 prostate cases without manual interception were tested. The interface succeeds to reducing the VMAT planning time and planner still own the planning control. CONCLUSION The AUTOFLOW software interface can be used to perform VMAT planning in current commercial clinical planning system. It can automatically assist planner operation and provide standard interface to 3rd party software packages. The future works will focus on building a cohesive UI, reducing the time further by improving the prediction of optimization parameters and other treatment sites.

Abstract
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated fibroinflammatory condition characterized by tumefactive lesions in multi-organs. It is a novel entity presented by variable manifestations. In recent years, there has been progress toward recognizing IgG4-RD. However, the diagnosis and treatment of IgG4-RD still present challenges due to insufficient experience. To address this, the Chinese Rheumatology Association has developed standardized guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of IgG4-RD based on domestic and international experience. These guidelines aim to enhance the understanding and management of IgG4-RD, ultimately improving the prognosis for patients with IgG4-RD.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Enhanced lipid metabolism has emerged as a central metabolic node in glioblastoma, serving as a 'gain of function' that allows these cells to efficiently adapt to their dynamic tumor microenvironment. Seemingly contradictory to this, pre-clinical studies have demonstrated anti-tumor activity in mice fed a high-fat/low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (KD), both alone and in combination with radiation therapy (RT). In this study, we sought to identify mechanisms underlying the antitumor activity of a KD in glioblastoma from a metabolic perspective to better understand factors contributing to this apparent disconnect. MATERIALS/METHODS Immunocompromised and immunocompetent mice were injected orthotopically with human and mouse-derived glioblastoma cell lines and randomized to four treatment arms. Mice were fed ad libitum a standard diet (SD), KD (Bio-Serve), or a modified unsaturated fatty acid (uFA) rich diet (MD; 60/30/10: fat/protein/carb) alone or in combination with hypofractionated RT (6 Gy x 3). Global metabolomic profiling of tumors and serum were carried out using LC/GC-MS. Lipid droplets were analyzed by flow cytometer and confocal microscopy using BODIPY staining and free fatty acids were measured using a commercially available kit. RESULTS A KD demonstrated independent anti-tumor activity and potent synergy with RT in two aggressive glioblastoma models. Metabolomic profiling of tumors revealed significant changes in tumor metabolism in KD-fed mice when compared to SD, with an accumulation of uFAs being a key finding. We therefore sought to determine if this accumulation of fatty acids in KD mice contributed towards the observed anti-tumor activity. Consistent with in vivo results, in vitro studies using the uFA linoleic acid demonstrated anti-proliferative activity, reduced clonogenic capacity, and potent synergy when combined with RT in glioblastoma cells. Through a series of investigations, we went on to determine that this anti-tumor activity was attributed to the ability of uFA to override lipid storage homeostasis in glioblastoma cells, resulting in lipotoxicity. Based on these findings, we hypothesized high fat concentrations, rather than carbohydrate restriction, contributed to the anti-tumor activity of a KD. To test this, we generated a MD rich in uFA that did not require carbohydrate restriction. Similar to a KD, mice fed a MD demonstrated both independent anti-tumor activity and potent synergy when combined with RT. CONCLUSION High concentrations of uFA represents a key factor underlying the anti-tumor activity of a KD in glioblastoma by targeting lipid homeostasis. A MD consisting of high concentrations of uFA without carbohydrate restriction demonstrates promising anti-tumor activity in glioblastoma models. As a major limitation of a KD is tolerability, particularly in glioblastoma patients, a MD represents a promising form of dietary modification that may be translated clinically.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Abscopal effect induced by radiotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade is a promising yet far from satisfactory strategy in clinical. The underlying immune mechanism, especially driven by monocytes remains poorly undefined. Monocytes consist of two phenotypically and functionally distinct subsets distinguished by expression of chemokine receptors CCR2 and CX3CR1: classical inflammatory Ly6ChiCCR2hi monocytes and nonclassical patrolling Ly6CloCCR2loCX3CR1hi monocytes. Monocytes differentiate and transit to other myeloid cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages according to various environmental cues. Herein we investigated the roles of monocyte subsets in modulating tumor control consisting of combination RT and myeloid checkpoint agonist αCD40 to specifically ignite myeloid cell activation. MATERIALS/METHODS To establish abscopal model, contralateral tumors were implanted in each mouse, while only one side were treated with RT (8 Gy × 3) + αCD40 agonist (50 μg, intra-tumor). Tumor volume and mice survival were compared in each group (control, RT, αCD40 and RT + αCD40). Ccr2RFP/+ Cx3cr1GFP/+ (R2 × 3), Ccr2RFP/RFPCx3cr1+/+ (R2-KO) and Ccr2+/+Cx3cr1GFP/GFP (X3-KO) mice were used for cell tracking and to dissect chemokine receptor CCR2 and CX3CR1 on monocyte. Tumor infiltrating immune cells were analyzed by flowcytometry and RNA-seq. RESULTS RT combined with αCD40 significantly dampened tumor growth on both ipsilateral and contralateral sides in abscopal model (p< 0.01), accompanied by upregulation of chemokine receptors CCR2 and CX3CR1 on myeloid cells were both increased in tumor and peripheral blood. Chemokine ligands CCL2, CCL3, CCL5, CCL7, CCL12 and CX3CL1 were upregulated in tumor after RT and αCD40 treatment, recruiting CCR2 and CX3CR1 expressing monocytes in situ. To elucidate the roles of CCR2 and CX3CR1 in mediating local and systemic anti-tumor immunity, R2 × 3, R2-KO and X3-KO mice with combined treatment were used. Tumor size on ipsilateral leg were similar among groups. However, tumor growth was significantly delayed on contralateral side in X3-KO mice while accelerated in R2-KO mice compared with that in R2 × 3 mice. Mechanistically, remarkable decrease of antigen presenting dendritic cells (MHCII+Ly6ChiCD11c+) were observed in R2-KO mice. Moreover, phagocytosis was strengthened in macrophages (F4/80+CD11b+) of X3-KO mice. CONCLUSION CX3CR1 deletion ignite anti-tumor immunity elicited by RT and αCD40 through enhanced phagocytosis in macrophages, while CCR2 deletion renders inferior tumor control through reduction of dendritic cells. Preferential targeting nonclassical patrolling monocyte may lead to enhanced local and systemic tumor control.

Observation of New Ω_{c}^{0} States Decaying to the Ξ_{c}^{+}K^{-} Final State. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 131:131902. [PMID: 37831985 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.131.131902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Two new excited states, Ω_{c}(3185)^{0} and Ω_{c}(3327)^{0}, are observed in the Ξ_{c}^{+}K^{-} invariant-mass spectrum using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}. Five previously observed excited Ω_{c}^{0} states are confirmed, namely Ω_{c}(3000)^{0}, Ω_{c}(3050)^{0}, Ω_{c}(3065)^{0}, Ω_{c}(3090)^{0}, and Ω_{c}(3119)^{0}. The masses and widths of these seven states are measured with the highest precision to date.

Evidence of a J/ψK_{S}^{0} Structure in B^{0}→J/ψϕK_{S}^{0} Decays. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 131:131901.

Abstract
An amplitude analysis of B^{0}→J/ψϕK_{S}^{0} decays is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}, collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. Evidence with a significance of 4.0 standard deviations of a structure in the J/ψK_{S}^{0} system, named T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000)^{0}, is seen, with its mass and width measured to be 3991_{-10}^{+12} _{-17}^{+9} MeV/c^{2} and 105_{-25}^{+29} _{-23}^{+17} MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000)^{0} state is likely to be the isospin partner of the T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000)^{+} state, previously observed in the J/ψK^{+} system of the B^{+}→J/ψϕK^{+} decay. When isospin symmetry for the charged and neutral T_{ψs1}^{θ}(4000) states is assumed, the signal significance increases to 5.4 standard deviations.

Abstract
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is continuously causing significant economic losses with massive poultry depopulations. Airborne transmission of HPAI was suspected, as initial bird mortalities were reported near air inlets of poultry houses. In addition, infected farms were distant, indicating that the viruses carried by dust particles might help the viruses travel for long distances in the environment. The objective of this study focused on simulating the airborne transmission of HPAI by using computational modeling to assess the risk of airborne and deposited avian influenza (AI) carried by poultry-litter dust particles. The Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) modeling was used in this study. Data from 168 infected cases in the Mid-Western area of U.S. were obtained from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Watt Poultry. The concentration simulation modeling was performed to estimate the airborne and deposited AI concentration carried by PM2.5 dust particles. Results showed that concentrations of airborne AI, deposited AI, and combined AI transmitted to other farms in a day were lower than the minimal infective dose for poultry. In most of the scenarios, the predicted probability of infection showed that Iowa-infected farms and turkey poultry houses had the highest infection probability. The findings may provide an understanding of the risk of airborne HPAI virus carried by dust particles and suggest the factors that influence long-distance airborne transmission.

Abstract
Objective: To screen the key genes involved in gefitinib resistance of lung adenocarcinoma PC9/GR cells which harbored 19 exon mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, and discuss the effect and mechanism of downregulation of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) on the gefitinib resistance of PC9/GR cells. Methods: RNA microarray was conducted to detect the gene expressions in PC9 and PC9/GR cells. The differently expressed genes were screened by using limma package of R language and analyzed by Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of SLC7A11 protein in PC9 and PC9/GR cells. PC9/GR cells were infected with lentivirus plasmid containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting SLC7A11 or negative control shRNA (sh-NC), respectively. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to evaluate the efficacy of shRNA on the expression of SLC7A11 mRNA. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was conducted to determine the suppressing effect of gefitinib on PC9/GR cells. Mito-Tracker Red CMXRos probe and malondialdehyde (MDA) assay kit were used to evaluate gefitinib-induced ferroptosis in PC9/GR cells. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was conducted to detect the expression of SLC7A11 protein in the tumor tissues of advanced stage lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring 19 exon mutation of EGFR gene. Thirty-six advanced stage lung adenocarcinoma patients who received EGFR-tyrosihe kinase inhibitor(TKI) as first-line treatment in Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical Unviersity were enrolled. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn to analyze the correlation between SLC7A11 expression and progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients. Results: RNA array demonstrated that 2 888 genes were differently expressed between PC9 and PC9/GR cells. KEGG analysis showed that ferroptosis-related gene was one of the most enriched region of the differently expressed genes between PC9 and PC9/GR cells. These ferroptosis-related gene cohort contained 13 genes, among which SLC7A11 exhibited the most significant difference. Western blotting showed that the expression of SLC7A11 protein in PC9/GR cells was significantly higher than that in PC9 cells (0.76±0.03 vs. 0.19±0.02, P<0.001). The 50% inhibiting concentration (IC(50)) of gefitinib was 35.08 μmol/L and 64.01 μmol/L for sh-SLC7A11 and sh-NC group PC9/GR cells, respectively. PC9/GR cells in sh-SLC7A11 group exhibited significantly lower density of mitochondria fluorescence after gefitinib treatment, compared to the sh-NC group (213.77±26.50 vs. 47.88±4.55, P<0.001). In addition, PC9/GR cells in sh-SLC7A11 group exhibited significantly higher MDA after gefitinib treatment, compared to the sh-NC group [(15.43±1.60) μmol/mg vs. (82.18±7.77) μmol/mg, P<0.001]. The PFS of the patients with low expression of SLC7A11 (n=18) was significantly longer than the patients with high expression of SLC7A11 (n=18, 16.77 months vs. 9.14 months, P<0.001). Conclusion: Downregulation of SLC7A11 could increase the sensitivity of PC9/GR cells to gefitinib by promoting ferroptosis.

[PMID: 37694135 PMCID: PMC10484961 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
In this paper, the municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash (MSW-IBA) is used as the fine aggregate and firming agent component of the premixed fluid stabilized soil (PFSS). Through the mechanical strength test, and the hydration products and microstructure characterization, the effects of the NaOH content for MSW-IBA pre-aging treatment and activator content on the mechanical properties of the PFSS are studied. The results show that the mechanical strength of the prepared PFSS is closely related to the amount of NaOH and the activator. The increase in the amount of NaOH and activator can affect the formation of early hydration product Aft, and reduce the early strength. However, it can promote the depolymerization of glass phase in MSW-IBA and slag to form C-(A)-S-H and Mg-(A)-S-H gel, increase the microstructure density, and thus improve the late strength. The application of MSW-IBA in PFSS can achieve the recycling of solid waste.

Abstract
The ratios of branching fractions R(D^{*})≡B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}) and R(D^{0})≡B(B^{-}→D^{0}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B^{-}→D^{0}μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}) are measured, assuming isospin symmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν_{τ}ν[over ¯]_{μ}. The measured values are R(D^{*})=0.281±0.018±0.024 and R(D^{0})=0.441±0.060±0.066, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The correlation between these measurements is ρ=-0.43. The results are consistent with the current average of these quantities and are at a combined 1.9 standard deviations from the predictions based on lepton flavor universality in the standard model.

Abstract
Lateral canals are small branches from the main root canal, usually extending from the dentin and cementum into the periodontal ligament, mostly located at the lower 1/3 of the apical portion. Due to the complex and varied anatomical morphology as well as the high incidence, it becomes an important factor affecting the effect of root canal therapy and a difficult point in this process. It is of great clinical significance to master the treatment strategy of lateral canals during root canal therapy. This article reviews the anatomical characteristics of lateral canals, as well as the clinical identification, treatment strategy and the laboratory detection methods of lateral canals in the process of root canal preparation, disinfection, and obturation.

Abstract
Gout is a metabolic disease resulting from the accumulation of monosodium urate (MSU) in joints, leading to crystal-induced arthritis. In China, gout is common, but there is insufficient knowledge regarding standardized criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Based on evidence and guidelines from China and other countries, the Chinese Rheumatology Association developed standardized criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of gout in China. The purpose was to standardize gout diagnosis methods as well as treatment opportunities and strategies in order to reduce misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, and irreversible damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different dietary patterns and diabetic microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was conducted based on the Chinese Chronic Disease and its Risk Factor Surveillance System. A multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to randomly select two districts (Henghualing District, Taiyuan City, and Yuzi District, Jinzhong City) and two counties (Huguan County, Changzhi City, and Jiang County, Yuncheng City) from the chronic disease surveillance sites in Shanxi Province to collect general information, dietary records, physical measurements, and laboratory tests. In total, 1,227 patients were enrolled according to the study criteria. Factor analysis was performed to construct six dietary patterns, and the relationship between dietary pattern scores and type 2 diabetic microvascular complications was analysed using binary logistic regression after correcting for confounders. RESULTS (1) Regarding the prevalence of type 2 diabetic microvascular complications and dietary characteristics, the prevalence of microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was 55.3% and was higher in urban than in rural areas. The prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) were 21.4%, 12.7%, and 38.0%, respectively. (2) Six dietary patterns were constructed, namely, 'animal protein', 'coarse grains and plant protein', 'nuts and fruits', 'refined grains and vegetables', 'dairy', and 'added sugars', with factor contributions of 15.42%, 9.99%, 8.23%, 8.16%, 7.56%, and 7.28% respectively, explaining 56.64% of the total dietary variation. (3) After adjusting for confounding variables, the results of binary logistic regression indicated that patients in the highest quartile of dietary pattern scores for 'nuts and fruits' experienced a 43.3% lower risk of DKD compared to those in the lowest quartile [odds ratio (OR) = 0.567; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.359-0.894; p < 0.001]. Similarly, patients in the highest quartile of dietary pattern scores for 'animal protein' had a 42.8% lower risk of DPN compared with those in the lowest quartile (OR = 0.572; 95% CI, 0.388-0.843; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a 'nuts and fruits' dietary pattern reduces the risk of DKD and an 'animal protein' dietary pattern reduces the risk of DPN.

Cardiometabolic benefits of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei 8700:2: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Clin Nutr 2023; 42:1637-1646. [PMID: 37506599 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2023.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Modulating microbial metabolism via probiotic supplementation has been proposed as an attractive strategy for the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases. Recently, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (L. paracasei) was reported to alleviate metabolic disorders in murine models, however, its beneficial effects in humans remain to be determined. This study evaluated whether L. paracasei supplementation could improve endothelial function and cardiometabolic health in subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS In this randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial among 130 participants with MetS, subjects were randomly assigned to placebo or L. paracasei 8700: 2 (10 billion CFU) daily for 12 weeks. Endothelial function was measured by flow-mediated slowing, and cardiometabolic health was determined by both components and severity of MetS. Ideal compliance was defined as consumption no less than 70% of the capsules. RESULTS 130 individuals (mean [SD] age, 45.97 [7.11] years; 95 men [73.1%]) were enrolled and randomized to L. paracasei (n = 66) or placebo control (n = 64). Compared to placebo, L. paracasei supplementation led to a greater reduction in remnant cholesterol (-0.16 mmol/L, 95%CI: -0.29 mmol/L to -0.02 mmol/L; P = 0.024). Such a reduction in remnant cholesterol was significantly associated with improvement in endothelial function (r = -0.23, P = 0.027). In subjects with an ideal compliance with trial protocol, L. paracasei treatment additionally lowered triglycerides, alleviated MetS severity and delayed weight gain. On the contrary, no obvious effect on insulin sensitivity or pancreatic beta-cell function was observed after L. paracasei intervention. Moreover, regarding safety and tolerability, no significant between-group difference in protocol-specified adverse events of interest was observed. CONCLUSIONS L. paracasei supplementation enhanced endothelial function potentially through downregulating remnant cholesterol levels. Our study provides a feasible and safe strategy for the prevention of cardiometabolic diseases in subjects with severe dyslipidemia and endothelial dysfunction.

Surg Endosc 2023; 37:6915-6921. [PMID: 37322362 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10178-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with early esophageal squamous cell neoplasias (ESCNs) that are totally or nearly totally circumferential face challenges in their clinical work. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) frequently leads to esophageal strictures. Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which stands out for its simplicity of use and low rate of stenosis, is a rapidly evolving therapeutic strategy for early ESCNs. We contrast ESD with RFA in order to find which method is best for the treatment of a wide range of esophageal diseases. METHODS Patients who had flat-type, early, large ESCNs (extending more than 3/4 of the esophageal circumference) treated endoscopically were enrolled retrospectively. The primary outcome measurements were adverse events and local control of the neoplastic lesion. RESULTS A total of 105 patients received treatment; 60 had ESD and 45 received RFA. Despite the patients receiving RFA typically having larger tumors (14.27 vs. 5.70 cm, P < 0.05), the local control of the neoplastic lesion and procedure-related complications were comparable between the ESD and RFA groups. A considerably higher risk of esophageal stenosis was observed in patients with extensive lesions in the ESD group compared to the RFA group (60% vs. 31%; P < 0.05), and the rate of refractory stricture is also higher than that of the RFA. CONCLUSION Both RFA and ESD are effective in treating large, flat, early ESCNs; however, ESD is more likely to cause side effects, such as esophageal stricture, particularly in lesions that are larger than 3/4 of the diameter. Before RFA, a more precise and thorough pretreatment examination should be performed. A more accurate pretreatment evaluation will be an important development direction for early esophageal cancer in future. After surgery, a strict routine review is crucial.

Abstract
Aging, often considered a result of random cellular damage, can be accurately estimated using DNA methylation profiles, the foundation of pan-tissue epigenetic clocks. Here, we demonstrate the development of universal pan-mammalian clocks, using 11,754 methylation arrays from our Mammalian Methylation Consortium, which encompass 59 tissue types across 185 mammalian species. These predictive models estimate mammalian tissue age with high accuracy (r > 0.96). Age deviations correlate with human mortality risk, mouse somatotropic axis mutations and caloric restriction. We identified specific cytosines with methylation levels that change with age across numerous species. These sites, highly enriched in polycomb repressive complex 2-binding locations, are near genes implicated in mammalian development, cancer, obesity and longevity. Our findings offer new evidence suggesting that aging is evolutionarily conserved and intertwined with developmental processes across all mammals.

Abstract
Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune disease characterized by recurring acute or chronic systemic connective tissue inflammation caused by group A streptococcal infection in the throat. Although rheumatic fever is common in China, there is a lack of standardized criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Based on evidence and guidelines from China and other countries, the Chinese Rheumatology Association developed standardized criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in China. The aim was to standardize rheumatic fever diagnosis methods, treatment opportunities, and strategies for both short-and long-term treatment, so as to reduce irreversible damage and improve prognosis.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocyte proliferation and progressive exocrine gland damage. In addition to the impairment of salivary and lacrimal gland function, SS can present with multi-system and multi-organ involvement, accompanied by autoantibodies in serum and hyperimmunoglobulinemia. SS can be divided into primary and secondary forms based on the absence or presence, respectively, of concurrent connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. Based on evidence and guidelines from China and other countries, the Chinese Rheumatology Association drafted standardized criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of primary SS. The objectives were to standardize the detection and interpretation of key indicators for the diagnosis of SS, including serum anti-SSA antibody and labial gland pathology, suggest the use of the widely accepted European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)-SS disease activity index for the evaluation of the disease, and standardize the rational management of SS patients with topical and systemic therapies.

Physiol Res 2023; 72:511-520.

Abstract
Farrerol (FA) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties in various diseases. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent oxidative stress-induced cell death. It is characterized by lipid peroxidation and glutathione depletion and is involved in neuronal injury. However, the role of FA in inhibiting ferroptosis in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and its underlying mechanisms are not yet completely elucidated. This study aimed to investigate whether FA could mediate ferroptosis and explore its function and molecular mechanism in HIE. A neonatal rat model of HIE was used, and rats were treated with FA, ML385 (a specific inhibitor of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 [Nrf2]), or a combination of both. Neurological deficits, infarction volume, brain water content, pathological changes, and iron ion accumulation in the brain tissues were measured using the Zea-Longa scoring system and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC), hematoxylin-eosin (HE), and Perls' staining. The expression levels of GSH-Px, MDA, SOD, and ROS in brain tissues were also evaluated. Western blot analysis was performed to analyze the expression of the Nrf2 pathway and ferroptosis-related proteins. The results showed that FA administration significantly reduced neuronal damage, infarct volume, cerebral edema, and iron ion accumulation and inhibited MDA and ROS levels while promoting GSH-Px and SOD levels. FA also increased the expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), Nrf2, and HO-1. Moreover, the combination of ML385 and FA in HIE abolished the FA protective effects. Therefore, the study concludes that FA exerts a neuroprotective effect after HIE by inhibiting oxidative stress and ferroptosis via the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The effect of multilayering YBa2Cu3O6+x(YBCO) thin films with sequentially deposited CeO2layers between YBCO layers grown on buffered metallic template is investigated to optimize the self-field critical current densityJc(0). We have obtained that the improvement inJc(0)clearly depends on the YBCO layer thickness and temperature, where at high temperatureJc(0)can be increased even 50% when compared with the single layer YBCO films. Based on our experimental results and theoretical approach to the growth mechanism during multilayer deposition, we have defined a critical thickness for the YBCO layer, where the maximal self-fieldJc(0)is strongly related to the competing issues between the uniform and nonuniform strain relaxation and the formation of dislocations and other defects during the film growth. Our results can be directly utilized in the future coated conductor technology, when maximizing the overall in-fieldJc(B)by combining both the optimal crystalline quality and flux pinning properties typically in bilayer film structures.
