Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) on the migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in mice. Methods: (1) Twenty 3-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were sacrificed for isolating, culturing, and identifying BMSCs from the femur and tibia. Cells of the second or third passages were divided into phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group, 1 μmol/L NE group, 10 μmol/L NE group, and 100 μmol/L NE group, with 8 wells in each group. Cells in 1 μmol/L NE group, 10 μmol/L NE group, and 100 μmol/L NE group were cultured in low-sugar Dulbecco's modified eagle medium containing 1% volume fraction of fetal bovine serum (hereinafter referred to as low-serum medium) added with NE in final molarity of 1 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L, and 100 μmol/L, respectively. Cells in PBS group were cultured in low-serum medium added with the same volume of PBS. Before stimulation (0 d) and on stimulation day 1, 3, 5, cell counting kit 8 method was used to detect cell proliferation activity (expressed as the absorbance value). (2) In cell scratch test 1, cells were divided into PBS group and simple NE group. After the scratch test, cells in simple NE group were cultured with low-serum medium+ NE in final molarity of 10 μmol/L, and cells in PBS group were cultured with low-serum medium+ the same volume of PBS. In cell scratch test 2, cells were divided into PBS group, propranolol+ NE group, and phentolamine+ NE group. After the scratch test, cells in propranolol+ NE group were pretreated with low-serum medium+ propranolol in final molarity of 1 μmol/L for 30 minutes each day, cells in phentolamine+ NE group were pretreated with low-serum medium+ phentolamine in final molarity of 10 μmol/L for 30 minutes each day, and then they were cultured with low-serum medium+ NE in final molarity of 10 μmol/L. Cells in PBS group were cultured with low-serum medium+ the same volume of PBS. In cell scratch test 3, cells were divided into simple NE group, simple (2E, 6E)-2, 6-bis (4-pyridylmethylene) cyclohexanone (SC-66) group, and SC-66+ NE group. After the scratch test, cells in simple NE group was cultured with low-serum medium+ NE in final molarity of 10 μmol/L, cells in simple SC-66 group were cultured with low-serum medium after being pretreated with SC-66 in final molarity of 30 mmol/L for 30 minutes every day, cells in SC-66+ NE group were cultured with low-serum medium+ NE in final molarity of 10 μmol/L after being pretreated with SC-66 in final molarity of 30 mmol/L for 30 minutes every day. In the above 3 cell scratch tests, the sample numbers in each group were all 6, and the scratch healing rates at post scratch hour (PSH) 24, 48, and 72 were all calculated. (3) Cells were divided into PBS group, simple NE group, propranolol+ NE group, and phentolamine+ NE group, with 3 wells in each group. The lower chamber treatment methods of PBS group and simple NE group were the same as those of the same groups in cell scratch test 1. The lower chamber treatment of propranolol+ NE group and phentolamine+ NE group were the same as those of the same groups in cell scratch test 2. After the Transwell experiment was performed and the cells were routinely cultured for 24 hours, the migrated cells were counted. (4) Cells were divided into PBS group, simple NE group, propranolol+ NE group, and phentolamine+ NE group, with 2 dishes in each group. The cell treatment of PBS group and simple NE group were the same as those of the same groups in cell scratch test 1. The cell treatment of propranolol+ NE group and phentolamine+ NE group were the same as those of the same groups in cell scratch test 2. After 24 hours of routine culture, the phosphorylation level of protein kinase B (Akt) of cells was detected by Western blotting. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance, independent sample t test, least significant difference t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results: (1) After 1 day of stimulation, the absorbance value of cells in 100 μmol/L NE group was significantly lower than that in PBS group (t=2.986, P<0.05). After 5 days of stimulation, the absorbance value of cells in 10 μmol/L NE group was significantly higher than that in PBS group (t=3.547, P<0.01). (2) In cell scratch test 1, at PSH 24, 48, and 72, the scratch healing rates of cells in simple NE group were (34.4±3.4)%, (52.5±4.7)%, and (70.0±3.8)%, which were significantly lower than (44.1±4.2)%, (80.0±3.6)%, and (95.9±2.2)% in PBS group (t=19.320, 128.319, 221.575, P<0.01). In cell scratch test 2, at PSH 24, 48, and 72, the scratch healing rates of cells in propranolol+ NE group were significantly lower than those in PBS group (t=4.073, 9.618, 15.272, P<0.01). In cell scratch test 3, at PSH 72, the scratch healing rates of cells in NE group was significantly lower than that in simple SC-66 group (t=8.862, P<0.01). At PSH 24, 48, and 72, the scratch healing rates of cells in SC-66+ NE group were significantly lower than those in simple SC-66 group (t=3.862, 4.290, 10.357, P<0.01). (3) The Transwell experiment showed that after 24 hours of culture, the numbers of migrated cells in simple NE group, propranolol+ NE group, and phentolamine+ NE group were significantly less than the number in PBS group (t=11.895, 10.196, 3.222, P<0.01). (4) After 24 hours of culture, the phosphorylation levels of Akt of cells in simple NE group and propranolol+ NE group were significantly higher than the level in PBS group (t=8.186, 5.996, P<0.01). Conclusions: NE can inhibit the migration of BMSCs in mice, a process in which the signal pathway of Akt is involved in its regulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC; malignant ascites or implants) occurs in approximately 45% of advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) patients and associated with a poor survival. The molecular events leading to PC are unknown. The yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) oncogene has emerged in many tumour types, but its clinical significance in PC is unclear. Here, we investigated the role of YAP1 in PC and its potential as a therapeutic target. METHODS Patient-derived PC cells, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and patient-derived orthotopic (PDO) models were used to study the function of YAP1 in vitro and in vivo. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and single-cell RNA-Seq (sc-RNA-Seq) were used to elucidate the expression of YAP1 and PC cell heterogeneity. LentiCRISPR/Cas9 knockout of YAP1 and a YAP1 inhibitor were used to dissect its role in PC metastases. RESULTS YAP1 was highly upregulated in PC tumour cells, conferred cancer stem cell (CSC) properties and appeared to be a metastatic driver. Dual staining of YAP1/EpCAM and sc-RNA-Seq revealed that PC tumour cells were highly heterogeneous, YAP1high PC cells had CSC-like properties and easily formed PDX/PDO tumours but also formed PC in mice, while genetic knockout YAP1 significantly slowed tumour growth and eliminated PC in PDO model. Additionally, pharmacologic inhibition of YAP1 specifically reduced CSC-like properties and suppressed tumour growth in YAP1high PC cells especially in combination with cytotoxics in vivo PDX model. CONCLUSIONS YAP1 is essential for PC that is attenuated by YAP1 inhibition. Our data provide a strong rationale to target YAP1 in clinic for GAC patients with PC.

Abstract
Background Annually > 10% of patients with atrial fibrillation on oral anticoagulation undergo invasive procedures. Optimal peri-procedural management of anticoagulation, as judged by major bleeding and thromboembolic events, especially in the elderly, is still debated. Methods Procedures from 1442 patients were evaluated. Peri-procedural edoxaban management was guided only by the experience of the attending physician. The primary safety outcome was the rate of major bleeding. Secondary outcomes included the peri-procedural administration of edoxaban, other bleeding events, and the main efficacy outcome, a composite of acute coronary syndrome, non-hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack, systemic embolic events, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and mortality. Results Of the 1442 patients, 280 (19%) were < 65, 550 (38%) were 65–74, 514 (36%) 75–84, and 98 (7%) were 85 years old or older. With increasing age, comorbidities and risk scores were higher. Any bleeding complications were uncommon across all ages, ranging from 3.9% in patients < 65 to 4.1% in those 85 years or older; major bleeding rates in any age group were ≤ 0.6%. Interruption rates and duration increased with advancing age. Thromboembolic events were more common in the elderly, with all nine events occurring in those > 65, and seven in patients aged > 75 years. Conclusion Despite increased bleeding risk factors in the elderly, bleeding rates were small and similar across all age groups. However, there was a trend toward more thromboembolic complications with advancing age. Further efforts to identify the optimal management to reduce ischemic complications are needed.

Abstract
AIM Haemorrhoidal disease can severely affect a patient's quality of life. Its classification is commonly based on morphology of the degree of prolapse; however, this does not take into account the symptoms and impact on the quality of life. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the most appropriate instruments that classify the severity of disease according to symptoms. METHOD A PRISMA-compliant search was conducted in December 2019 to identify studies that described the validation of a haemorrhoidal symptom score. The measurement properties of the scoring systems were assessed based on the consensus-based standards for the selection of health status measurement instruments (COSMIN) methodology for systematic reviews for patient-reported outcome measures. RESULTS A total of 5288 articles were identified, with five articles included. Three studies developed a scoring system based on a set of core symptoms for a cohort of patients and validated the score against treatment outcomes. One study developed a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire based on symptoms to evaluate disease burden. One study combined both quality of life and symptom measures and tested measurement properties on two cohorts of patients. Only one study demonstrated satisfactory valid, reliable and responsive measurement criteria. CONCLUSION A single study demonstrated sufficient quality in measurement properties to be recommended for clinical use. Further studies in this area should utilize consensus-based standards for designing and reporting validation research to ensure that the appropriate evidence base is acquired if any further patient-reported outcome measures are to be recommended.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is inherently resistant or becomes resistant to therapy, leading to a poor prognosis. Mounting evidence suggests that lncRNAs can be used as predictive markers and therapeutic targets in the right context. In this study, we determined the role of lncRNA-PVT1 in GAC along with the value of inhibition of PVT1 using antisense oligos (ASOs). RNA scope in situ hybridization was used to analyze PVT1 expression in tumor tissue microarrays (TMAs) of GAC and paired normal tissues from 792 patients. Functional experiments, including colony formation and invasion assays, were performed to evaluate the effects of PVT1 ASO inhibition of PVT1 in vitro; patient-derived xenograft models were used to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of PVT1 ASOs in vivo. LncRNA-PVT1 was upregulated in GACs compared to the matched adjacent normal tissues in the TMA. LncRNA PVT1 expression was positively correlated with larger tumor size, deeper wall invasion, lymph node metastases, and short survival duration. Inhibition of PVT1 using PVT1 ASOs significantly suppressed tumor cell growth and invasion in vitro and in vivo. PVT1 expression was highly associated with poor prognosis in GAC patients and targeting PVT1 using PVT1 ASOs was effective at curtailing tumor cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Thus, PVT1 is a poor prognosticator as well as therapeutic target. Targeting PVT1 using PVT1 ASOs provides a novel therapeutic strategy for GAC.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the risk factors of non-sentinel lymph node (nSLN) metastasis in breast cancer patients with 1~2 positive axillary sentinel lymph node (SLN) and construct an accurate prediction model. Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed in 917 breast cancer patients who underwent surgery treatment between 2002 and 2017 and pathologically confirmed 1-2 positive SLNs. According to the date of surgery, patients were divided into training group (497 cases) and validation group (420 cases). A nomogram was built to predict nSLN metastasis and the accuracy of the model was validated. Results: Among the 917 patients, 251 (27.4%) had nSLN metastasis. Univariate analysis showed tumor grade, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), extra-capsular extension (ECE), the number of positive and negative SLN and macro-metastasis of SLN were associated with nSLN metastasis (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed the numbers of positive SLN, negative SLN and macro-metastasis of SLN were independent predictors of nSLN metastasis (all P<0.05). A nomogram was constructed based on the 6 factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.718 for the training group and 0.742 for the validation group. Conclusion: We have developed a nomogram that uses 6 risk factors commonly available to accurately estimate the likelihood of nSLN metastasis for individual patient, which might be helpful for radiation oncologists to make a decision on regional nodal irradiation.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between preoperative serum hyaluronic acid (HA) level and prognosis of breast cancer patients. Methods: The 98 patients with breast cancer who underwent surgical treatment in the Oncology Department of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2004 to November 2014 in a historical cohort were included, aged (52.5±9.4) years.The preoperative serum HA contents of the patients were detected. According to the median of 53.7 μg/L, the patients were divided into high and low groups with 49 patients in each group.The χ2 test was used to analyze the correlation between the serum HA content and the general clinical data of the patients, and the Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test and multivariate Cox regression model wereusedto analyze the correlation between HA content and patients' survival. Results: The percentages of patients with high HA levels in menopause and non-menopause patientswere 55.7% and 40.5%, respectively; in progesterone receptor (PR) positive and negative patients were 54.1% and 43.2%, respectively; in estrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative patients were 45.7% and 60.7%, respectively; in Ki-67 positive and negative patients were 55.6% and 43.2%, respectively; in the tumor size stage TⅠ, TⅡ, TⅢ, and TⅣ patients were 50.0%, 41.7%, 72.7%, and 1/1, respectively; in lymph node metastasis and non-metastasispatients were 45.7% and 53.8%, respectively. There was no significant correlation between the level of HA and the menopausal status, the expressions of PR, ER and Ki-67, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients (χ²=2.128, 1.086, 1.800, 1.485, 4.273, 0.656, P>0.05). Patients with high HA levels accounted for 30.9% of patients aged 52 years or less and 74.4% of patients older than 52 years (χ²=18.274, P=0.000); 43.4% of patients with early TNM and 72.7% of patients with advanced TNM (χ²=5.861, P=0.015); 45.2% of patients without distant metastasis and 78.6% of patients with distant metastasis (χ²=5.333, P=0.023); 38.1% of Her-2 negative patients and 58.9% of Her-2 positive patients(χ²=4.167, P=0.041); and the median survival of patients with high HA levels was 70 months, which was shorter than 83 months for patients with low HA levels (χ²=6.799, P=0.007). Therefore, ahigh HA content predicts an older age, a later tumor stage, higher risk of distant metastasis, positive expression of Her-2 and shorter survival. Multivariate Cox regression model analysis suggested that high levels of serum HA may be a risk factor for patients' survival, with HR (95%CI) value of 9.98 (1.16-85.88) and P value of 0.036. Conclusion: The high level of preoperative serum HA has a certain correlation with the poor prognosis of breast cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE S100 proteins conduce to tumorigenesis and metastasis in a variety of ways, facilitating a local inflammatory environment for development and progression of tumors. However, the expression patterns and the precise roles of the S100 family members contributing to tumorigenesis and the progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain to be elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Herein, the expression of S100 transcripts was analyzed in various tumor types in comparison to the normal controls using the ONCOMINE database, along with the corresponding expression profiles in the different subtypes of AML as retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We used the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database to investigate the prognostic values of S100 mRNA expression in AML. RESULTS Our results indicated that high expression of S100A4 mRNA was associated with poor overall survival (OS) (p=0.026), while that of S100P was correlated with a favorable OS in AML patients (p=0.028). Other members of the S100 family did not show any correlation to the survival. Moreover, the correlation between the expression levels of S100A4 and S100P and the clinical characteristics and methylation of AML patients was investigated. The results demonstrated that the promoter methylation level of S100A4 (p=0.002) and S100P (p=0.029) was higher in 61-80-years-old group as compared to the other age groups. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, it can be deduced that S100A4 and S100P might be novel biomarkers and crucial prognostic factors for AML.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of early cardiac injury in patients with left-sided breast cancer receiving hypofractionated radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery, and to investigate the correlation between cardiac injury and hypofractionated radiotherapy dose. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 103 breast cancer patients who received whole breast with or without regional nodal irradiation after breast conserving surgery using either deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) or free breathing (FB) radiotherapy technique. Cardiac examinations that included N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), electrocardiogram, and myocardial perfusion imaging were performed routinely before and after radiotherapy. The effects of heart dose, systemic therapy and individual factors (Framingham score) on the incidence of cardiac events were analyzed. Results: The median age was 48 years. The mean dose (Dmean) of the heart, left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), left ventricular (LV), and right ventricular (RV) were 4.0, 16.9, 6.3, and 4.4 Gy, respectively. With a median follow-up of 13.4 months, no patient had clinical cardiac abnormalities. The incidence rates of subclinical cardiac events at 1- 6- and 12-month were 23.5%, 31.6%, and 41.3%, respectively. The DIBH group had a lower mean dose, maximum dose, and V5-V40 in the heart, LAD, LV, and RV than the FB group (P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed an increased incidence of subclinical cardiac events with heart Dmean >4 Gy, LAD V40 > 20%, LV Dmean >6 Gy, RV Dmean >7 Gy, or cumulative doses of anthracycline or taxane > 300 mg/m(2) (All P<0.05). Anti-HER2 targeted therapy, endocrine therapy and Framingham score were not associated with the incidence of subclinical cardiac events (all P>0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that Dmean of LV and RV were independently associated with the increased incidence of subclinical cardiac events. Conclusions: Early subclinical heart injury are found in patients with left-sided breast cancer after hypofractionated radiotherapy. The increased incidence of subclinical cardiac events after radiotherapy is positively associated with the cardiac radiation doses.

Abstract
Background In this research, we used the mediastinal lymph node reclassification proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (iaslc) to screen for patients with pathologic N2 (pN2) non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) who might benefit from postoperative radiotherapy (port). Methods The study enrolled 440 patients with pN2 nsclc who received complete surgical resection and allocated them to one of three groups: N2a1 (single-station skip mediastinal lymph node metastasis), N2a2 (single-station non-skip mediastinal lymph node metastasis), and N2b (multi-station mediastinal lymph node metastasis). Rates of local recurrence at first recurrence in patients receiving and not receiving port were compared using the chi-square test. Overall (os) and disease-free survival (dfs) were then compared using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with log-rank test. In addition, the factors potentially influencing os and dfs were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression. Results The rate of local recurrence for the N2a2 and N2b groups was significantly lower in patients receiving port (p = 0.044 and p = 0.043 respectively). The log-rank test revealed that, for the N2a1 group, differences in os and dfs were not statistically significant between the patients who did and did not receive port (p = 0.304 and p = 0.197 respectively). For the N2a2 group, os and dfs were markedly superior in patients who received port compared with those who did not (p = 0.001 and p = 0.014 respectively). For the N2b group, os was evidently better in patients who received port compared with those who did not (p = 0.025), but no statistically significant difference in dfs was observed (p = 0.134). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that, in the N2a1 group, port was significantly associated with poor os [hazard ratio (hr): 2.618; 95% confidence interval (ci): 1.185 to 5.785; p = 0.017]; in the N2a2 group, port was associated with improved os (hr: 0.481; 95% ci: 0.314 to 0.736; p = 0.001) and dfs (hr: 0.685; 95% ci: 0.479 to 0.980; p = 0.039). Conclusions For patients with pN2 nsclc who receive complete resection, port might be beneficial only for patients with single-station non-skip metastasis (N2a2). Patients with single-station skip metastasis (N2a1) and multi-station metastasis (N2b) might not currently benefit from port.

Abstract
Hippo/YAP1 signaling is a major regulator of organ size, cancer stemness, and aggressive phenotype. Thus, targeting YAP1 may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for tumors with high YAP1 expression in esophageal cancer (EC). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChiP) and quantitative ChiP‐PCR were used to determine the regulation of the chromatin remodeling protein bromodomain‐containing protein 4 (BRD4) on YAP1. The role of the bromodomain and extraterminal motif (BET) inhibitor JQ1, an established BRD4 inhibitor, on inhibition of YAP1 in EC cells was dissected using western blot, immunofluorescence, qPCR, and transient transfection. The antitumor activities of BET inhibitor were further examined by variety of functional assays, cell proliferation (MTS), tumorsphere, and ALDH1+ labeling in vitro and in vivo. Here, we show that BRD4 regulates YAP1 expression and transcription. ChiP assays revealed that BRD4 directly occupies YAP1 promoter and that JQ1 robustly blocks BRD4 binding to the YAP1 promoter. Consequently, JQ1 strongly suppresses constitutive or induced YAP1 expression and transcription in EC cells and YAP1/Tead downstream transcriptional activity. Intriguingly, radiation‐resistant cells that acquire strong cancer stem cell traits and an aggressive phenotype can be effectively suppressed by JQ1 as assessed by cell proliferation, tumorsphere formation, and reduction in the ALDH1+ cells. Moreover, effects of JQ1 are synergistically amplified by the addition of docetaxel in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that BRD4 is a critical regulator of Hippo/YAP1 signaling and that BRD4 inhibitor JQ1 represents a new class of inhibitor of Hippo/YAP1 signaling, primarily targeting YAP1 high and therapy‐resistant cancer cells enriched with cancer stem cell properties.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the surgical indications, preoperative evaluation, technical points, perioperative management and effect of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) in the treatment of carotid stenosis. Methods: From March to April 2019, three patients with carotid stenosis undergoing TCAR in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Military Medical University. With the common carotid artery approach, under the protection of the carotid-femoral vein reverse blood flow, the balloon dilatation of the internal carotid artery stenosis and stent implantation to achieve the purpose of carotid revascularization.The patient's general condition, preoperative evaluation, intraoperative operation, postoperative management and complications were recorded in detail. The clinical safety, efficacy and efficacy of TCAR in the treatment of carotid stenosis were evaluated. Results: All three operations were successful, including 2 cases of left carotid artery revascularization and 1 case of right carotid artery revascularization. A total of 3 carotid stents were implanted. The operation time was 65, 59, and 55 min,the intraluminal operation time was 13, 18, and 11 min, the common carotid artery blocked time was 15, 20, and 13 min, the contrast agent was 20, 25,15 ml, respectively. There was no death, no nervous system and other related complications during the perioperative period. Three patients were followed up for 7, 7, and 6 months without death, there were no nervous system diseases and other complications. All patients with ultrasound indicated that the carotid artery stent was patency. Conclusion: TCAR adopts the neuroprotection system of carotid-femoral vein continuous reverse blood flow to prevent transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke, and it is a safe and effective treatment for carotid artery stenosis.
