Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with cardiac inflammatory responses, indicating a potential role of the immune system in the pathology of diastolic dysfunction. The cytoplasmatic pattern recognition receptor, nucleotide binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) belongs to the innate immune system and induces among others the NLRP3 inflammasome, known to be involved in myocarditis and coronary heart disease.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to explore the role of NOD2 in Angiotensin II (AngII)-induced diastolic heart failure.
Methods
In NOD2−/− knock down and C57Bl6/j-wild type (WT) mice, diastolic dysfunction was induced by subcutaneous administration of 1.4mg/kg*day–1 AngII. Twenty-one days after first AngII administration, left ventricular (LV) function was evaluated by pressure tip catheter. Cardiac fibrosis, inflammation, and the expression of NOD2 and the NLRP3 component Apoptosis-associated speck like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) were determined via immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR or Western Blot.
Results
LV NOD2 mRNA expression was 2.3-fold (p<0.0005) and 1.9-fold (p<0.0005) lower in NOD2−/− control and NOD2−/− AngII mice compared to their respective WT littermates. In parallel, LV protein expression of the downstream NLRP3 component Apoptosis-associated speck like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) was 1.5-fold (p<0.05) lower in NOD2−/− AngII mice versus WT AngII mice, whereas LV protein IL-1β levels were unchanged. LV diastolic dysfunction was more pronounced in NOD2−/− AngII mice versus WT AngII mice, as displayed by a 19% (p<0.05) increased LV relaxation time and 24% (p<0.057) impaired dP/dtmin, with no changes in the ejection fraction (EF: NOD2−/− AngII 72.5%±5.4 versus WT AngII 65.6±3.5). In parallel, LV presence of CD68-positive cells was 1.8-fold (p<0.05) higher in NOD2−/− AngII compared to WT AngII mice. Concomitantly, NOD2−/− AngII mice displayed 1.3-fold (p<0.05) and 1.7-fold (p<0.05) higher LV mRNA expression of the chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2 and monocyte chemotactant protein (MCP)-1 compared to WT AngII mice, respectively. Furthermore, cardiac interstitial fibrosis in NOD2−/− mice with AngII-induced diastolic dysperformance was more pronounced versus the WT AngII group, as indicated by a 2.0-fold (p<0.0005), 2.0-fold, and 1.6-fold (p<0.05) higher LV ColI/ColIII ratio, and TGF-β and TIMP-1 mRNA expression, respectively.
Conclusion
NOD2−/− deteriorates LV diastolic dysfunction and worsens pathophysiological key mechanisms in mice with AngII-induced diastolic heart failure.

Abstract
AIM A modified repair technique for traumatic cloaca caused by obstetric anal sphincter injury was evaluated, and its feasibility and functional outcome were investigated. METHODS A retrospective review of 23 consecutively enrolled patients diagnosed with traumatic cloaca who underwent the modified repair technique between September 2010 and August 2018 was performed. Demographic, clinical feature, operative and follow-up data were recorded. RESULTS The patients diagnosed with traumatic cloaca who underwent surgical repair after obstetric anal sphincter injury had a median time from obstetric injury of 24 (12-35) years. The median preoperative Wexner faecal incontinence score was 16 (14-17). The postoperative hospital stay was 6 (6-7) days. The median postoperative Wexner faecal incontinence score decreased to 2 (2-3). The anal resting pressure increased from 9.00 (5.25-11.50) mmHg to 56.00 (55.00-65.75) mmHg (P < 0.01) and the anal squeeze pressure increased from 29.00 (22.50-33.20) mmHg to 110.00 (96.20-121.50) mmHg (P < 0.01) at 2 months after the repair. Sixteen patients completed the Faecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale questionnaire, and there were significant improvements 1 year after surgical repair in lifestyle (3.10 [2.60-3.70] vs 2.60 [1.90-3.00], P < 0.01), coping/behaviour (3.38 [2.57-3.44] vs 2.33 [1.89-3.00], P < 0.01), depression/self-perception (3.11 [2.27-3.44] vs 2.33 [1.89-3.00], P < 0.01) and embarrassment (3.33 [2.75-3.67] vs 2.33 [2.33-3.00], P < 0.01). No patient presented rectovaginal fistula postoperatively within the median follow-up period of 24 (12-48) months. CONCLUSIONS The modified repair technique for traumatic cloaca is feasible and achieves good functional outcomes and improved life quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To screen variants in pre-mRNA Splicing genes in 95 Chinese autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) families. METHODS Clinical examination and pedigree analysis were performed. Targeted exome sequencing (TES) and / or Sanger sequencing were performed to detect the variants in genes of Splicing factors and conduct intra-familiar segregation analysis with DNA available. In silico analysis was performed to predict pathogenicity of variants in protein level and in vitro splicing assays were performed to compare splicing variants with their corresponding wildtype about their splicing effect. RESULTS In this study, total nine different variants were identified in PRPF31, SNRNP200, and PRPF8 respectively, including six PRPF31 variants [five novel variants 322+1G>A, c.527+2T>G, c.590T>C(p.Leu197Pro), c.1035_1036insGC (p.Pro346Argfs X18), and c.1224dupG (p.Gln409AlafsX66) plus one reported variant c.1060C>T (p.Arg354X)], a recurrent PRPF8 variant c.6930G>T (p.Arg2310Ser), two SNRNP200 variants [one heterozygous and homozygous SNRNP200 recurrent variant c.3260G>A (p.Ser1087Leu), and a reported heterozygous c.2042G>A(p.Arg681His)]. In family 20009, incomplete penetrance was observed. A novel PRPF31 missense variant c.590T>C (p.Leu197Pro) was predicted to be pathogenic in protein level via in silico analysis and in vitro splicing assay demonstrated that two novel splicing PRPF31 variants c.322+1G>A and c.527+2T>G affect splicing compared with the wildtype. CONCLUSIONS In our studies, RP-causing variants of pre-mRNA Splicing genes (PRPF31, PRPF8 and SNRNP200) were identified in nine of the ninety-five adRP families respectively, which extend the spectra of RP variant and phenotype. And we provide the first example that SNRNP200-related RP can be caused by both heterozygous and homozygous variants of this gene.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between selenium and the risk for oral cancer. Methods: We performed a case-control study in 325 cases of newly diagnosed primary oral cancer from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and 650 controls from the same hospital and community. Unconditional logistic regression and stratification analyses were used to explore the association between selenium and oral cancer. Adjusted OR and corresponding 95%CI were calculated. The analyses on multiple interactions between selenium and smoking or drinking status, and fruit or fish intake frequencies were conducted. Results: The level of serum selenium was 112.42 (80.98-145.06) μg/L in the case group, which was lower than 164.85 (144.44-188.53) μg/L in control group, the difference was statistical significant (P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between serum selenium level and the risk for oral cancer regardless of smoking and drinking status, and fruits and fish intake frequencies (P<0.05). There were multiple interactions between serum selenium level and smoking or drinking status, and fruit and fish intakes. Conclusions: The high level of serum selenium is a protective factor for the incidence of oral cancer, and serum selenium has multiple interactions with smoking or drinking status, and fruit and fish intakes. Therefore, reducing tobacco use and alcohol consumption and increasing the intakes of fruit and fish can reduce the risk for oral cancer to some extent.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
As a result of 67 nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958, inhabitants of Micronesia exposed to radiation exhibited chronic health issues and birth defects that persist to this day. This patient’s presentation may be an example of the continued residual impact of nuclear testing in Micronesia and demonstrates the importance of historical and biological factors when considering differential diagnoses.
Method
Patient is a six-year-old Micronesian male referred for assessment of psychological functioning. He was developmentally delayed since birth, exhibited unusual facial features, and previously diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Presenting problems included speech delays, limited attention span, difficulty coping with challenges, narrow interests, impulsivity, difficulties interacting with peers, and toileting issues (i.e., defecating on the floor). Mother immigrated to Hawaii from Micronesia in 2006 and primarily speaks Chuukese. While pregnant, mother was on medications for diabetes, hospitalized with high blood pressure, and chewed tobacco daily. Patient experienced some difficulties during the neonatal period.
Results
Average nonverbal intelligence; moderately low receptive single word vocabulary; possible somatization, tendency to withdraw, and atypical behavior; problems with functional communication and daily living activities; and learning-related problems at school. Probability of autism within the Possibly/Very Likely range. Age-inappropriate projective drawings, with indications of potential genetic or developmental dysfunction.
Conclusions
Patient was diagnosed with ASD, with accompanying language impairment. Due to family history of radiation exposure in Micronesia and prenatal concerns, a rule out of other neurodevelopmental disorders and various genetic conditions were considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary tumour location is emerging as an important prognostic factor in localized and metastatic colorectal cancers. However, its prognostic role in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) after hepatectomy remains controversial. A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate its prognostic value. METHODS References were identified through searches of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library comparing overall or disease-free survival after hepatic resection between patients with CRLM originating from right- or left-sided colorectal cancers. Data were pooled using hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 per cent confidence intervals according to a random-effects model. Meta-regression and subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the effect of underlying confounding factors on HR estimates and to adjust for this. RESULTS The final analysis included 21 953 patients from 45 study cohorts. Compared with left-sided primary tumour location, right-sided location was associated with worse overall survival (HR 1·39, 95 per cent c.i. 1·28 to 1·51; P < 0·001; prediction interval 1·00 to 1·93), and also tended to have a negative impact on disease-free survival (HR 1·18, 1·06 to 1·32; P = 0·004; prediction interval 0·79 to 1·75). Subgroup analysis showed that the negative effect of right-sided primary tumour location on overall survival was more prominent in the non-Asian population (HR 1·47, 1·33 to 1·62) than the Asian population (HR 1·18, 1·05 to 1·32) (P for interaction <0·01). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated a prognostic role for primary tumour location in patients with CRLM receiving hepatectomy, especially regarding overall survival. Adding primary tumour location may provide important optimization of prognosis prediction models for CRLM in current use.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effects of dorsal perforator fascia pedicle flap of the deep palmar arch in the repair of skin and soft tissue defects of finger web area. Methods: Eleven patients (7 males and 4 females, aged from 18 to 73 years) with soft tissue defects of finger web area in distal dorsal side were admitted to Xinhua Hospital (Chongming) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2010 to September 2018. The sizes of skin and soft tissue defects ranged from 2.5 cm×1.5 cm to 6.0 cm×2.5 cm. According to the origin, course, branches, and distribution of the dorsal perforator of deep palmar arch, and the anatomical characteristics with vascular network of dorsal carpal and dorsal metacarpal, dorsal perforator fascia pedicle flaps of the deep palmar arch from the back of the injured hands were designed and transferred to repair the wounds of finger web area in distal dorsal side. The sizes of the flaps of patients ranged from 3.5 cm×2.0 cm to 6.5 cm×3.0 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly or covered with free forearm full-thickness skin graft. The clinical effects and swelling degree of flaps in early and late stages were evaluated during the follow-up of 3 to 36 months post surgery. Results: All the flaps survived in 11 patients, the incisions in donor and recipient sites were healed. During the follow-up of 3 to 36 months post surgery, the survival of flaps was good, and the appearance, color, and elasticity were close to normal skin, with two-point discrimination distance of 7 to 10 mm and sensory function recovery of grade S(3). The wounds in donor site had small scar without infection. The efficacy was evaluated as satisfactory in 8 patients, general in 3 patients, and dissatisfactory in no patient. Flap swelling rating in early stage was 1st degree in 7 patients, 2nd degree in 2 patients, and 3rd degree in 2 patients. Flap swelling rating in late stage was 1st degree in 8 patients, 2nd degree in 2 patients, and 3rd degree in 1 patient. The extension and flexion of the metacarpal and interphalangeal joints were basically normal and the patients were satisfied with the outcomes. Conclusions: Based on the dorsal perforator of deep palmar arch, dorsal perforator fascia pedicle flap of the deep palmar arch is reliable to transfer to repair skin and soft tissue defects of finger web area in distal dorsal side, which is worthy of promotion in clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, hip arthroplasty rates in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have been increasing rapidly. Although patients with SLE generally show beneficial or desirable functional outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA), it has been reported that SLE patients after THA have increased risk of postoperative complications, especially during the period of hospitalization. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we aimed to identify possible factors associated with complications or transfusion of THA in SLE patients during hospitalization. METHODS The present study was a retrospective study conducted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Data were collected from medical records of patients who underwent THA from January 2012 to June 2018. The primary outcome variable was perioperative complications, which was defined as having one or more of the following conditions: high fever, infection, impaired wound healing, venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, hematoma, arrhythmia, implant complications. The secondary outcome was perioperative transfusion. RESULTS During January 2012 to June 2018, 100 patients had taken the surgery of THA. After multivariate analysis, independent risk factors for perioperative complications were: age ≥ 45 years (p = 0.001), SLE with other connective tissue diseases (p = 0.029), high temperature (p = 0.030), positive anti-dsDNA antibody (p = 0.043), and Systemic Lupus International Collaborative Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index ≥ 3 (p = 0.008). Independent risk factors for perioperative transfusion were bilateral THA (p = 0.029), low hemoglobin (p = 0.021) and abnormal renal function (p = 0.021). CONCLUSION For SLE patients following THA, age > 45 years, SLE with other connective tissue disease, high temperature, positive anti-dsDNA antibody and SLICC/ACR Damage Index ≥ 3 were the risk factors of complications during hospitalization and bilateral THA, low hemoglobin and abnormal renal function were the risk factors of transfusion.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the classification, clinical features, the short-term efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for Guillain-Barré syndrome(GBS) and look for predictors of acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) during pregnancy. Methods: The clinical data of 45 hospitalized pregnant patients with GBS recruited from October 2008 to October 2017 at the Tianjin Medical University general hospital, Handan City First Hospital and Nankai University Affiliated Tianjin Fourth Central Hospital, were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and patients were divided into the acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies (AIDP) group and the AMAN group. The clinical features and efficacy of IVIg were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the predictors of AMAN. Results: There were 25 cases in the AIDP group and 20 cases in the AMAN group. AIDP usually started with distal limb weakness (P=0.001), and AMAN often started with limb weakness (P=0.001) and mostly accompanied by dyspnea (P=0.042). AIDP was often associated with paresthesia (P=0.001) and autonomic dysfunction (P=0.007). The response days of active treatment in the AIDP group and the AMAN group were (1.6±0.5)d and (2.3±0.8)d (P=0.022), the improvement days were (3.6±0.8)d and (5.9±1.0)d (P=0.000), the basic cure days were (7.7±1.3)d and (9.0±0.8)d (P=0.002), the cure days were (12.3±1.1)d and (12.8±0.9)d (P=0.148). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that preceding diarrhea (OR=13.750; 95% CI 1.386-136.387), limb weakness(OR=12.000;95% CI 2.359-61.048) and limb weakness with dyspnea (OR=10.000; 95% CI 1.048-95.457) were significantly associated with the AMAN-type GBS. Conclusions: AIDP and AMAN are the main types of pregnancy complicating GBS. Most patients present with a single and benign course of disease. IVIg is generally safe and effective. Preceding diarrhea, limb weakness and limb weakness with dyspnea are the predictors of AMAN-type pregnancy complicating GBS.

Abstract
There has been growing interest both in studying high intensity ultrafast laser plasma interactions with adaptive control systems as well as using long wavelength driver beams. We demonstrate the coherent control of the dynamics of laser-wakefield acceleration driven by ultrashort (∼ 100 fs) mid-infrared (∼ 3.9 μm) laser pulses. The critical density at this wavelength is 7.3 × 1019 cm-3, which is achievable with an ordinary gas target system. Interactions between mid-infrared laser pulses and such near-critical-density plasma may be beneficial due to much higher absorption of laser energy. In addition, the normalized vector potential of the laser field a0 increases with longer laser wavelength, lowering the required peak laser intensity to drive non-linear laser-wakefield acceleration. Here, MeV level, collimated electron beams with non-thermal, peaked energy spectra are generated. Optimization of electron beam qualities are realized through adaptive control of the laser wavefront. A genetic algorithm controlling a deformable mirror improves the electron total charge, energy spectra, beam pointing and stability at various plasma density profiles. Particle-in-cell simulations reveal that the optimal wavefront causes an earlier injection on the density up-ramp and thus higher energy gain as well as less filamentation during the interaction, which leads to the improvement in electron beam collimation and energy spectra.

Abstract
The scattering of dark matter (DM) particles with sub-GeV masses off nuclei is difficult to detect using liquid xenon-based DM search instruments because the energy transfer during nuclear recoils is smaller than the typical detector threshold. However, the tree-level DM-nucleus scattering diagram can be accompanied by simultaneous emission of a bremsstrahlung photon or a so-called "Migdal" electron. These provide an electron recoil component to the experimental signature at higher energies than the corresponding nuclear recoil. The presence of this signature allows liquid xenon detectors to use both the scintillation and the ionization signals in the analysis where the nuclear recoil signal would not be otherwise visible. We report constraints on spin-independent DM-nucleon scattering for DM particles with masses of 0.4-5 GeV/c^{2} using 1.4×10^{4} kg day of search exposure from the 2013 data from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment for four different classes of mediators. This analysis extends the reach of liquid xenon-based DM search instruments to lower DM masses than has been achieved previously.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effect of pregabalin on radiotherapy-induced trismus in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a hospital-based, clinical retrospective cohort study was conducted. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were collected on patients diagnosed with radiotherapy-induced trismus from March 2014 and March 2016 in the department of neurology in our hospital. Patients in the treatment group were administrated pregabalin for 8 weeks combined with rehabilitation, while the control group only received rehabilitation. The clinical therapeutic effects were observed and evaluated by mandibular motion, severity of trismus measured by late effects of normal tissues/subjective and objective medical analysis (LENT/SOMA) scales, and quality of life (QOL) assessed using the World Health Organization QOL instrument (WHOQOL-BREF) at baseline, week 4 and week 8 during treatment in these two groups, respectively. RESULTS In the treatment group, the number of patients with improvement on maximal vertical dimension (MVD) was significantly more than controls at week 4 and week 8 (P=0.013, P=0.004, respectively). Moreover, at week 4 and week 8, the severity of trismus was both significantly improved on LENT/SOMA grade in treatment group (P=0.047, P=0.032, respectively). And at week 8, the physical health and the whole life domain of the WHOQOL-BREF score were significantly increased (P=0.037, P=0.034, respectively). In the treatment group, 11 patients (36.7%) presented dizziness, and 7 patients (23.3%) presented somnolence. CONCLUSIONS Administration of pregabalin, in adjunct to rehabilitation, might provide a better outcome in patients with radiotherapy-induced trismus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Oxidative stress plays an important role in acute ischaemic stroke. However, the association of oxidative lipoprotein markers, including oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), oxLDL:high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and oxLDL:low-density lipoprotein (LDL), with functional outcome of minor stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between oxidative lipoprotein markers and poor functional outcome in patients with minor stroke or TIA. METHODS All patients with minor stroke or TIA were recruited from the Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Non-Disabling Cerebrovascular Events (CHANCE) trial. The poor functional outcome included modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 2-6 and 3-6 at 90-day and 12-month follow-up. Multivariate logistic regression was used to investigate the associations of oxLDL, oxLDL:HDL and oxLDL:LDL with poor functional outcome. RESULTS Among 3019 patients included in this study, the median (interquartile range) oxLDL, oxLDL:HDL and oxLDL:LDL were 13.96 (6.65-28.81), 4.52 (2.08-9.32) and 11.73 (5.27-24.85) μg/dL, respectively. After adjusted for confounding factors, patients in the highest oxLDL quartile had a higher proportion of mRS score 2-6 at 90 days [hazard ratio (HR), 1.78; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.26-2.52] and 12 months (HR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.01-1.99), and mRS score 3-6 at 90 days (HR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.29-3.04) and 12 months (HR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.09-2.89) when compared with the lowest oxLDL quartile (P < 0.05). Similar results were found for oxLDL:HDL and oxLDL:LDL. CONCLUSIONS Higher levels of oxidative lipoprotein markers are independent predictors of poor functional outcome in patients with minor stroke or TIA at 90 days and 12 months.

Abstract
The endovascular exclusion is an effective treatment of aortic aneurysm diseases in frail and elderly patients who cannot suffer the open surgery. However, as the key treatment device of this technique, traditional stent-grafts are not suitable to treat complex aortic aneurysm diseases in emergency. The emergence of the fenestrated stent-graft and in-situ fenestration has brought new dawn to the treatment of these patients. This study reviews the advances in complex aortic aneurysms treated by the fenestrated stent-graft and the in-situ fenestration. In addition, the novel concept of the fabric structure designed for "in-situ fenestrated stent-graft" is proposed for the in-situ fenestration technique. It is expected to break through the bottleneck of the present fenestrated stent-grafts. It would be beneficial to the bailout of complex aortic aneurysm diseases and thereby benefitting more patients.

Abstract
ObjectivesWe review our cases of hardware problems requiring revision surgery and consider the technical aspects of revising the electrodes, including a frameless technique using the Renishaw Guide tubes.DesignRetrospective Review.SubjectsChildren (≤18 years old) who presented with hardware problems following implantation of a DBS for dystonia at King’s College Hospital between May 2005 and April 2018.MethodsInformation was obtained from a prospectively kept database.ResultsOf 166 paediatric patients with DBS, 25 patients had hardware problems, and of these 21 (13%) patients had specifically electrode problems requiring replacement/revision of one or more electrodes. 7 patients had high impedances requiring revision, without obvious lead migration of fracture. 7 patients had lead migration and a further 7 patients had a lead fracture with or without lead migration. 15 patients had original DBS insertion with the Leksell Stereotactic System utilising the Medtronic Stimlock for lead fixation. 6 patients had DBS inserted with the Renishaw Sterotactic Robot and utilised the Renishaw Guide Tubes, in these patients who required lead replacement it was possible to revise the electrode without using stereotactic apparatus. As the guide tubes are implanted in the correct trajectory it is possible to measure the distance required to advance/implant the lead within this to target without the need for full stereotactic reimplantation.ConclusionsElectrode dysfunction is relatively common in children with DBS and a systematic approach is required to identify the cause. When an electrode requires repositioning or replacement, the procedure can be performed in the conventional manner with a stereotactic frame, or freehand without a frame if a Renishaw Guide tube is used at time of first insertion.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Tumor microenvironment of metastasis (TMEM) is a microanatomical structure composed by 3 cells in direct contact, including a tumor cell expressing the actin-regulatory protein Mammalian-enabled (Mena), a perivascular Tie2hi/Vegfhi-expressing macrophage, and an endothelial cell. TMEM are intravasation sites that function as doorways for hematogenous tumor cell dissemination and metastases (Harney et al. Cancer Discovery 2015). TMEM may be identified and enumerated by triple immunohistochemistry in mouse and human mammary carcinomas. High TMEM score is associated with increased risk of distant metastasis in early stage breast cancer, and provides complementary prognostic information to IHC4 (Rohan et al. JNCI 2014) and Oncotype DX Recurrence Score in ER+, HER2-negative breast cancer (Sparano et al. NPJ Breast Cancer, 2017). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) increases TMEM score in breast carcinoma in animal models and humans, indicating a previously unrecognized mechanism of resistance to cytotoxic therapy (Karagiannis et al. Science Trans Med 2017). Intravasation at TMEM sites may be inhibited using agents that block release of VEGF from TMEM-associated TIE2-hi, VEGF-hi macrophages (Harney et al. Mol Cancer Ther, 2017). Here we investigated whether TMEM score in post-NAC treated breast carcinoma is prognostic of distant recurrence in localized breast cancer after NAC, and thus provides a foundation for testing agents that block TMEM function in combination with NAC.
Methods: We determined TMEM score in 80 evaluable patients' post-NAC specimens with residual invasive ductal carcinomas of at least 0.5 cm. Approximately 60% of patients had ER+/HER2-negative, 28% had triple negative and 12% had HER2+ disease. Most of the patients received doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide + taxane and an anti-HER2 therapy if applicable. Tissue sections from residual tumors were stained for TMEM using triple immunohistochemistry for Mena-expressing cancer cells, CD31-expressing endothelial cells and CD68-expressing macrophages. The stained slides were scanned, and the images were analyzed by three pathologists, blinded to outcome, who independently determined the tissue areas appropriate for TMEM scoring. TMEM was scored within these areas using an automated algorithm.
Results: TMEM score was significantly higher in patients with distant recurrence (average TMEM=106), compared to patients without distant recurrence (average TMEM=71) (p<0.01, two-sided t-test). Moreover, in a Cox proportional hazards model that included TMEM score (upper tertile vs. lower 2 tertiles), age (>50 yrs. vs. <50), race (black vs non-black), tumor stage (T 1-3), estrogen receptor (ER) status (+ vs -), high TMEM score was associated with a increased risk of distant recurrence (HR=2.2, 95% CI=1.0 to 4.9, p=0.05)
Conclusion: TMEM score may provide independent prognostic information for distant recurrence in patients with residual invasive carcinoma after NAC. These results support the use of agents that block TMEM function in combination with NAC, as planned in the I-SPY2 trial.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
The treatment landscape for women with HR+/HER2- advanced and metastatic breast cancer (A/MBC) is changing as new agents are being combined with more established treatments to achieve greater efficacy in combating resistant and unresponsive disease. The present study is designed to describe patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes in a cohort of women with HR+/HER2- A/MBC treated with palbociclib plus aromatase inhibitor (P+AI) or palbociclib plus fulvestrant (P+FV) in the US community oncology setting.
Methods:
Retrospective medical record data from adult women diagnosed with HR+/HER2- A/MBC who initiated P+AI or P+FV for treatment of A/MBC on or after February 3, 2015 were collected from the Vector Oncology Data Warehouse, a network comprised of 10 community oncology practices across the US. Descriptive analyses were performed on patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes. Time to event outcomes (progression-free rate (PFR) and survival rate (SR)) at 12 (PFR-12, SR-12) and 24 (PFR-24, SR-24) months for the P+AI combination as first line endocrine therapy and 12 and 18 months for the P+FV combination as treatment following prior endocrine based therapy in either the adjuvant or metastatic setting.
Results:
Among 304 patients who received palbociclib combination therapy, 281 (92.4%) received it per labeled indication. Of the 281 on-label users, the focus of reporting here, 233 (82.9%) received P+AI as their initial endocrine therapy after A/MBC diagnosis; 48 (17.1%) received P+FV after prior endocrine therapy for breast cancer. Patient mean age (SD) was 63.1 (11.4) and 68.2 (10.2) years for patients receiving P+AI and P+FV, respectively. Patients were predominantly white (74.2% for P+AI and 77.1% for P+FV patients).The initial dosing for palbociclib was 125mg/day in 85.4% (n=199) of P+AI and 79.2% (n=38) of P+FV patients. Among patients who received P+AI, PFR-12 was 69.8% and PFR-24 was 46.8% with median follow up time of 10.8 months and 36.8% of progression events. The SR-12 was 89.8% and SR-24 was 71.4%. For patients who received P+FV, PFR-12 was 43.5% and PFR-18 was 39.9% with a median follow up time of 7.6 months and 50.0% of progression events. The SR-12 was 76.3% and SR-18 was 65.0%.
Conclusions:
This study provides real-world assessment of treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of patients with HR+/ HER2- A/MBC who received palbociclib in combination with an AI or a FV in US community oncology settings. These findings demonstrate the benefit of palbociclib combination therapy in a diverse real world population.

Abstract
Background Accumulating evidence suggests that the AKT/mTOR pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) through activating T cells, and there are few studies looking into the role of microRNA (miRNAs) in the mechanism. We first found that miR-633 expression in CD4+T cells of SLE patients was significantly reduced. Objective To investigate the role of miR-633 in the AKT/mTOR pathway in lupus CD4+T cells. Methods Samples of 17 SLE cases and 16 healthy controls were collected to detect the expression of miR-633, AKT1, mTOR mRNA and proteins by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western-blot, respectively. To determine whether AKT1 is a direct target of miR-633, a luciferase assay was performed. In vitro, AKT1 siRNA, miR-633 mimics/inhibitors or negative controls were transfected to Jurkat cells, human primary CD4+T cells and lupus CD4+T cells. RNA and proteins were extracted after 48 h, and levels of AKT/mTOR pathway markers and downstream multiple cytokines were detected by qPCR or Western-blot. Results In SLE patients, the miR-633 levels in CD4+T cells were significantly decreased and negatively correlated with SLEDAI. AKT1, mTOR mRNA and proteins were all up-regulated. The degree of downregulation of miR-633 was correlated negatively with AKT1 mRNA. The luciferase assay proved that AKT1 is a direct target of miR-633. In Jurkat and lupus CD4+T cells, overexpression of miR-633 could result in lower levels of AKT1 and mTOR. Inhibition of miR-633 expression in primary CD4+T cells caused reverse effects, and protein levels of p-AKT, p-mTOR, and p-S6RP increased. Moreover, among various cytokines, the expression of IL-4, IL-17, and IFN-γ mRNA was raised. Conclusion Our study suggests that miR-633 deletion can activate the AKT/mTOR pathway by targeting AKT1 to participate in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Abstract
Objectives Screw plugs have been reported to increase the fatigue strength of stainless steel locking plates. The objective of this study was to examine and compare this effect between stainless steel and titanium locking plates. Methods Custom-designed locking plates with identical structures were fabricated from stainless steel and a titanium alloy. Three types of plates were compared: type I unplugged plates; type II plugged plates with a 4 Nm torque; and type III plugged plates with a 12 Nm torque. The stiffness, yield strength, and fatigue strength of the plates were investigated through a four-point bending test. Failure analyses were performed subsequently. Results For stainless steel, type II and type III plates had significantly higher fatigue strength than type I plates. For titanium, there were no significant differences between the fatigue strengths of the three types of plates. Failure analyses showed local plastic deformations at the threads of screw plugs in type II and type III stainless steel plates but not in titanium plates. Conclusion The screw plugs could increase the fatigue strength of stainless steel plates but not of titanium plates. Therefore, leaving screw holes open around fracture sites is recommended in titanium plates. Cite this article: L-W. Hung, C-K. Chao, J-R. Huang, J. Lin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the burden of knee osteoarthritis (OA) among Chinese population. DESIGN Individuals with symptomatic knee OA based on self-reported physician-diagnosed arthritis and presence of knee pain were identified in China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Severity of knee OA was divided into three categories: mild, moderate and severe, according to knee pain severity. We estimated sex-specific years lived with disability (YLD) and YLD rate (per 100,000 population) by multiplying the prevalence of knee OA with appropriate disability weight (DW) and examined associations between several key sociodemographic factors and YLDs. RESULTS Among 17,459 subjects (52.1% women; mean age 59.1 years) included in this analysis, prevalence of mild, moderate and severe knee OA was 1.5%, 3.3%, and 3.9%, respectively. The total number of YLDs for knee OA in China was 4,149,628, and YLDs per 100,000 population was 968. Female sex, older age, rurality, lower education, and lower gross domestic production (GDP) per capita were associated with high YLDs rates for knee OA, respectively. The North and East regions of China had the lowest YLD rate per 100,000 population for knee OA (631 and 699), followed by South-central (858), Northeast (878), and Northwest (1502) regions. Southwest region had the highest YLD rate from knee OA (1653). CONCLUSIONS In this nationally representative sample, we demonstrated a high burden from knee OA among Chinese population. YLD rate for knee OA varied significantly according to sociodemographic factors. Our study calls for an urgent need for health policy support and cost-effective preventive strategies in China.

Abstract
Silicon based Mach Zehnder modulators, unlike lithium niobate, suffer from nonlinear pattern-dependent behavior beyond simple intersymbol interference. We experimentally demonstrate a novel predistortion method based on the iterative learning control (ILC) technique to address this issue using quasi-real-time adaptation with hardware-in-the-loop. We compare bit error rate performance to that of linear solutions at several M-QAM modulation levels and baud rates. We demonstrate 256QAM at 20 Gbaud which linear compensation alone cannot achieve. For 40 Gbaud 128QAM, we improve power sensitivity by 4.4 dB. We combine optical compensation with ILC to improve power sensitivity by ∼ 5 dB for 60 Gbaud 32QAM.

Abstract
Transport stress affects the animal's metabolism and psychological state. As a pro-survival pathway, the heat shock response (HSR) protects healthy cells from stressors. However, it is unclear whether the HSR plays a role in transport stress-induced heart damage. To evaluate the effects of transport stress on heart damage and HSR protection, newly hatched chicks were treated with transport stress for 2 h, 4 h and 8 h. Transport stress caused decreases in body weight and increases in serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, nitric oxide (NO) content in heart tissue, cardiac nitric oxide syntheses (NOS) activity and NOS isoforms transcription. The mRNA expression of heat shock factors (HSFs, including HSF1-3) and heat shock proteins (HSPs, including HSP25, HSP40, HSP47, HSP60, HSP70, HSP90 and HSP110) in the heart of 2 h transport-treated chicks was upregulated. After 8 h of transport stress in chicks, the transcription levels of the same HSPs and HSF2 were reduced in the heart. It was also found that the changes in the HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 protein levels had similar tendencies. These results suggested that transport stress augmented NO generation through enhancing the activity of NOS and the transcription of NOS isoforms. Therefore, this study provides new evidence that transport stress induces heart damage in the newly hatched chicks by blocking the cytoprotective HSR and augmenting NO production.

Abstract
Our previous study revealed that Yin Yang 1(YY1) played an important part in promoting interleukin (IL)-6 production in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, whether YY1 has any role in regulation of IL-8 in RA remains unclear. YY1 and IL-8 expression in RA patients were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the signaling pathway involved in YY1-induced IL-8 production. The expression of YY1 and proteins involved in the pathway were detected by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Migration of neutrophils was performed by chemotaxis assay. In this study, we found that high expression of IL-8 was positively associated with YY1 expression in RA. Blocking YY1 expression by YY1-short hairpin (sh)RNA lentivirus reduced IL-8 production. Mechanistically, we showed YY1 activated IL-8 production via the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway. Further, using a co-culture system consisting of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and neutrophils, we found that migration of neutrophils would be inhibited by YY1 RNA interference. Finally, using the collagen-induced arthritis animal model, we showed that treatment with the YY1-shRNA lentivirus led to reduction of IL-8 levels and attenuation of inflammation and neutrophil infiltration in vivo. Our results reveal a role of YY1 involved in neutrophil infiltration in RA via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/IL-8 signaling pathway. YY1 may be a new therapeutic target for treatment of RA.
