Abstract
Abstract
Background: Some population-base studies have reported similar or improved survival for breast-conserving surgery (BCS) plus radiotherapy compared with mastectomy (Mx) in early breast cancer [PMID: 22373563, 27344114]. Among the screening detected early breast cancer, ultrasound (US) could detect more invasive non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC) with positive lymph nodes in hospital-based asymptomatic Chinese women, who could achieve comparable 10-year DFS and OS as mammography (MG)-detected NPBC [2016 SABCS P5-02-05, PMID: 27689334]. However, there is little data about the surgical outcomes of BCS verse Mx in the low-risk screening detected NPBC with US as the initial imaging test.
Methods: From 2001 to 2017, 6,423 consecutive asymptomatic women underwent mammography or ultrasound guided biopsy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Among them, 1130 NPBC including 914 US-detected and 216 MG-detected NPBC were diagnosed and treated. There were 349 (30.9%) patients underwent BCS including 286 (25.3%) patients received radiation therapy and 63 (5.6%) elderly patients (>70 years) who did not. The clinicopathological features, treatment choice, 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between breast conservingsurgery (BCS) versus mastectomy(Mx) in all NPBC and between the US-detected and MG-detected NPBC.
Result: Compared to those who received BCS, the 781 (69.1%) patients who underwent Mx had more cancers with relatively higher histologic grade (p=0.003), positive lymph node (18.8% vs 12.0%, p=0.005), ER-negative (22.5% vs 11.5%, p<0.001), PR-negative (29.6% vs 16.3, p<0.001), Her2-positive (16.3% vs 8.9%, p=0.001), and received chemotherapy (37.6% vs 28.7%, p=0.003). The breast conserving rates of US-NPBCwere higher than that of MG-NPBC (32.6% vs 23.6%, p=0.010), but the breast conserving rates were similar between ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive cancers. The 10-year DFS and OS were similar among BCS with radiation therapy, BCS without radiation therapy and Mx as well as among US-NPBC with BCS, US-NPBC with Mx, MG-NPBC with BCS and MG-NPBC with Mx. However, MG-NPBC with Mx had favorable 10-year DFS than that of MG-NPBC with BCS (p=0.041).

Conclusion: The 10-year DFS and OS of breast conserving surgery versus mastectomy were similar among all NPBC patients. As the current initial imaging test, US-detected NPBC patients would receive significantly more BCS compared to MG. There was no significant difference in surgical outcomes among BCS and Mx in US-detected NPBC. However, among MG-detected NPBC, patients with Mx reached a better DFS but a similar OS than those with BCS. The radiation therapy could be safely omitted in the elderly patients (>70 years) with NPBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Ultrasound (US) is an effective initial screening test for breast cancer both in Caucasian and Chinese women [PMID: 26712110, 26715161, and 25668012]. The real-world modality of breast cancer screening in the China is hospital-based screening among asymptomatic self-referred women. In our previous study, we showed that US and mammography (MG) detected non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC) had similar long-term survival and that US detected more invasive NPBC with positive lymph node [2016 SABCS P5-02-05, PMID: 27689334]. This study was to investigate whether these findings would be still true with more NPBC cases included and longer follow-up in the consecutive hospital cohort.
Methods: From 2001 to 2017, 5,264 asymptomatic women with positive (BI-RADS 4 and 5) initial screening US underwent biopsies in PUMC Hospital, and 914 US-NPBC in 883 women were diagnosed. Meanwhile, women without dense breasts (defined as BI-RADS category C and D) also received screening MG after physical examination and US. There were 1,159 patients with positive (BI-RADS 4 and 5) MG and normal US (BI-RADS 1, 2 and 3) underwent MG-guided biopsies and 216 MG-NPBC were diagnosed in 214 women. The clinicopathological characteristics and 10-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were reviewed and compared between the US-NPBC and MG-NPBC. Prognostic factors of NPBC were identified by univariate and multivariate Cox analysis.
Result: Compared to MG, US could detect more invasive (81.2% vs 48.6%, p<0.001), lymph node positive (18.3% vs 10.2%, p<0.001), stage II+III (21.7% vs 12.5%, p<0.001) and low grade cancer (p=0.001).Between invasive US-NPBC and MG-NPBC, no significant difference was identified for lymph node status, TNM stage or subtype.US-NPBC received more breast conserving surgery (32.6% vs 24.1%, p<0.001) and chemotherapy (37.5% vs 23.6%, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in DFS or OS between US- vs MG-NPBC among ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive and all NPBC. For the US-NPBC, the DFS factors included TNM stage and Hormone receptor status whereas OS-predictors were pN and subtype.

Conclusion: Overall, US could detect more invasive NPBC patients with positive lymph node and advanced stage compared to MG, and screen invasive NPBC at similar TNM stage and subtype distribution as MG. US-NPBC patients received more breast conserving surgery and chemotherapy, and could achieve comparable 10-year DFS and OS as MG-detected NPBC. Hence US is justified in the real-world as the initial imaging modality in hospital-based screening Chinese women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the West, the safety and efficacy of the Lotus valve have been demonstrated; however, data in the Chinese population are still lacking. Few studies have compared the clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the Lotus valve in patients with bicuspid or tricuspid aortic valve stenosis. Our aim was to assess TAVR outcomes with the Lotus aortic valve in a Chinese patient cohort. METHODS In total, 23 symptomatic, high-surgical risk patients with severe aortic valve stenosis were enrolled. Among them, nine patients (39%) had bicuspid aortic valves, and three patients had a large annulus dimension. The Lotus valve was successfully implanted in all patients. To facilitate accurate positioning, partial re-sheathing was attempted in ten patients (43.5%), while one patient had a full retrieval. One-year clinical follow-up was completed in all patients. RESULTS There were no deaths, strokes, or major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in 22 of the 23 patients at 30 days; the all-cause mortality rate at 1 year was 4.4% (1 of 23 patients). The mean aortic valve gradient decreased from 51.5 ± 8.8 mm Hg at baseline to 13.4 ± 4.9 mm Hg (p < 0.001) and the valve area increased from 0.6 ± 0.2 cm2 to 1.5 ± 0.4 cm2 (p < 0.001) at 30 days. Paravalvular leakage was absent or mild (22%), and no patient had severe paravalvular leakage. Six patients (26.1%) required a postprocedural pacemaker. There was no difference regarding the procedural and the 1‑year outcomes between patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve stenosis. CONCLUSION Our single-center experience demonstrated that the Lotus valve is feasible and effective for Chinese patients with aortic valve stenosis, including atypical cases with bicuspid aortic valves or large aortic annulus size.

Abstract
Trace elements are key regulators of metabolism and physiological pathways, and their levels change during aging. Hair, as a biological sample, has attracted much attention due to its ease of collection and slow substance metabolism. Also, trace elements in hair can reveal the distribution of essential nutrients and toxic elements in the body pools. Therefore, we investigated the lifestyle and dietary status by questionnaire and measured 8 trace elements in hair and 6 elements in blood of a sample of elders over 80 residing in Hainan province of China. Our data showed that the concentration of Se, Fe and Pb dropped as people grow older, but Mn rose. Changes in trace elements may affect enzyme activity and biological pathways, and are associated with many diseases, including cancer and chronic diseases. In addition, association between age-related diseases and trace elements are increasingly being reported, suggesting that approaches of combining nutrition with longevity studies in the further study will help us to identify the mechanisms whereby trace elements affect the aging process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Chinese centenarians and to identify the factors associated with vitamin D deficiency. DESIGN Cross-sectional population-based study. SETTING Hainan province in the south of China. PARTICIPANTS 943 subjects aged 100 years old and older. METHODS Details on sociodemographics and lifestyle characteristics were collected using a structured questionnaire. Anthropometrics and blood samples were obtained. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration < 20ng/mL (50nmol/L). RESULTS The overall prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among these 943 centenarians was 39.9% (376 subjects) and the mean serum vitamin D concentrations were 22.7±9.5 (ng/mL). Female centenarians had higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency than male (44.0% vs. 21.7%, P <0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that being female, urban residency, lower body mass index, higher serum parathyroid hormone levels, no fish consumption, and less sun exposure time were all significant and independent determinants of vitamin D deficiency. No significant associations of vitamin D deficiency with ethnic, education, geographic location, tea drinking, alcohol use, or smoking were found in this study. CONCLUSION Vitamin D deficiency was common in Chinese centenarians, especially in women. Given that vitamin D deficiency is linked to numerous adverse health outcomes, dietary, outdoor activities and other intervention measures are needed to correct vitamin D deficiency in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity puts a great health burden in the world. Previous studies suggest that caesarean section (CS) may increase the risk of obesity in children, but it is still uncertain whether this association is causal or due to residual confounding by medical indication. AIM To assess the association between CS, CS without medical indications in particular and the risk of overweight and obesity in school-aged children. DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. METHODS The 2014 Shanghai Child Health, Education and Lifestyle Evaluation was a large population-based survey with cluster random probability sampling in 26 primary schools in Shanghai, China, in 2014. The mode of delivery was reported by parents. The height, weight and waist circumference of the children were measured. Logistic regression models with SURVEYLOGISTIC procedure were used to estimate the risk of childhood obesity. Pupils delivered vaginally were served as the reference group. RESULTS A total of 17 571 pupils completed this survey, and 13 724 of them who were singleton, born term and between 5 and 13 years old were included in our analysis. CS was associated with increased risks of overweight and obesity (BMI: adjusted OR = 1.28 [95%CI 1.13-1.45] and 1.44 [1.26-1.66], respectively; weight for height ratio [WHtR] >0.46: 1.33 [1.20-1.48]). Similar results were found in CS without medical indication (BMI: overweight = 1.24 [1.05-1.47], obesity = 1.43 [1.19-1.72]; WHtR > 0.46: 1.30 [1.13-1.50]). CONCLUSIONS CS overall and CS without medical indications were associated with increased risks of overweight and obesity in primary school children.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the sex-specific aortic root anatomy in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). Patients and methods This retrospective study includes 73 consecutive patients with BAV who underwent CT evaluation before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) between July 2013 and April 2017 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University. Result The size of the annulus, diameter and height of the sinotubular junction (STJ), height of the coronary artery ostia, and dimension of the aorta were measured. Women had significantly smaller annulus parameters (mean diameter: 23.4 ± 1.8 vs. 26.1 ± 2.1 mm; area: 425.3 ± 59.4 vs. 527.4 ± 84.6 mm2; perimeter: 74.3 ± 5.2 vs. 83.2 ± 6.4 mm), and STJ diameter (29.7 ± 3.1 vs. 32.6 ± 4.5 mm) than men (p < 0.01 for all), even after adjustment for their smaller body surface area (BSA). Dimension of aorta and height of right coronary artery were also significantly smaller in women, although not when indexing for the BSA. The left ventricular ejection fraction of women is significantly higher than that of men before discharge (60.2 ± 9.7% vs. 53.7 ± 13.6%, p = 0.01). There were no differences between women and men in the all-cause 30-day and 1‑year mortality. Conclusion Women with BAV had smaller annulus and STJ diameter after indexing for BSA, reflecting a sex-specific difference. There were no differences in 30-day and 1‑year mortality between the two groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate cross-sectional associations between serum level of Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)13 and knee structural measures and circulating inflammatory factors in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN A total of 149 subjects with symptomatic knee OA were included. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) volume, IPFP signal intensity alternation, cartilage volume and cartilage defects. Knee radiography was used to assess radiographic OA using the Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading system. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the serum levels of inflammatory factors and MMP13. RESULTS In multivariable analyses, serum MMP13 was negatively associated with cartilage volume at patellar site (β: -32.94 mm3 per 10 ng/ml, P < 0.05), and positively associated with cartilage defect at medial femoral site (OR: 1.13 per 10 ng/ml, P < 0.05). Also, MMP13 was positively associated with K-L grading and IPFP signal intensity alteration (OR: 1.14 and 1.15 per 10 ng/ml, respectively, both P < 0.05), and negatively associated with IPFP volume (β: -0.34 cm3 per 10 ng/ml, P < 0.05). Furthermore, serum level of adiponectin was negatively associated serum MMP13 quartiles (OR: 0.66 per 10 μg/ml, P < 0.05), and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-18 were positively associated with serum MMP13 quartiles (ORs: 1.01-1.18 per 10 pg/ml, all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Serum level of MMP13 was associated with knee structural abnormalities as well as serum inflammatory factors. These suggest that systemic MMP13 may play a role in knee OA, and could be regulated by inflammatory factors.

Dietary supplementation with Clostridium butyricum helps to improve the intestinal barrier function of weaned piglets challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88. J Appl Microbiol 2018; 125:964-975. [PMID: 29851202 DOI: 10.1111/jam.13936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2017] [Revised: 04/11/2018] [Accepted: 05/27/2018] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The objective of this study was twofold: (i) to examine the effect of Clostridium butyricum on intestinal barrier function and (ii) to elucidate the mechanisms involved in enhanced intestinal barrier function. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-eight weaned piglets were assigned randomly to either a basal diet or a C. butyricum-supplemented diet. On day 15, all pigs were orally challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 or saline. Clostridium butyricum decreased serum diamine oxidase activity and d-lactic acid concentration, as well as increased intestinal tight junction proteins (ZO-1, claudin-3 and occludin) expression in ETEC K88-infected pigs. Moreover, C. butyricum decreased IL-1β and IL-18 levels in serum and gut, whereas it increased IL-10 levels. Furthermore, C. butyricum downregulated NLRP3 and caspase-1 expression in ETEC K88-challenged pig gut, but did not affect apoptosis-associated speck-like protein expression. CONCLUSIONS Clostridium butyricum enhanced intestinal barrier function and inhibited apoptosis-associated speck-like protein-independent NLRP3 inflammasome signalling pathway in weaned piglets after ETEC K88 challenge. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The novelty of this study lies in the beneficial effects of C. butyricum on intestinal health, likely by improving intestinal barrier function and alleviating inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of the immune checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab is sometimes complicated by ipilimumab-associated colitis (Ipi-AC), an immune-mediated colitis that mimics inflammatory bowel disease. OBJECTIVE We sought to characterize the histopathologic and immunophenotypic features of Ipi-AC and to directly compare these features to ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of 22 patients with Ipi-AC, 12 patients with treatment-naïve UC and five controls with diarrhoea but normal endoscopic findings. Immunohistopathologic features were described, and quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed for CD4, CD8, CD20, CD138 and FOXP3. RESULTS Endoscopic findings in both the Ipi-AC and UC groups included ulcerated, oedematous and erythematous mucosa. Involvement of the GI tract was more diffuse in Ipi-AC. As compared to UC, a smaller proportion of Ipi-AC biopsies had basal plasmacytosis (14% for Ipi-AC vs. 92% for UC, P < 0.0001) and crypt distortion (23% for Ipi-AC vs. 75% for UC, P = 0.003), whereas Ipi-AC biopsies had more apoptotic bodies in the left colon (17.6 ± 15.3 for Ipi-AC vs. 8.2 ± 4.2 for UC, P = 0.011). Cryptitis, ulcerations and crypt abscesses were common in both groups. Biopsy specimens from Ipi-AC had a lower density of CD20-positive lymphocytes than UC (275.8 ± 253.3 cells mm-2 for Ipi-AC vs. 1173.3 ± 1158.2 cells mm-2 for UC, P = 0.022) but had a similar density of CD4, CD8, CD138 and FOXP3-positive cells. CONCLUSIONS Ipi-AC is a distinct pathologic entity with notable clinical and histopathological differences compared to UC. These findings provide insights into the pathophysiology of immune-related adverse events (iAEs) from ipilimumab therapy.

Abstract
We report a computational discovery of novel grain boundary structures and multiple grain boundary phases in elemental body-centered cubic (bcc) metals represented by tungsten, tantalum and molybdenum. While grain boundary structures created by the γ-surface method as a union of two perfect half crystals have been studied extensively, it is known that the method has limitations and does not always predict the correct ground states. Herein, we use a newly developed computational tool, based on evolutionary algorithms, to perform a grand-canonical search of high-angle symmetric tilt and twist boundaries, and we find new ground states and multiple phases that cannot be described using the conventional structural unit model. We use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to demonstrate that the new structures can coexist at finite temperature in a closed system, confirming that these are examples of different grain boundary phases. The new ground state is confirmed by first-principles calculations.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the sleep quality and related determinants among centenarians in Hainan. Methods: A cross-sectional study of centenarians from 16 cities/counties was carried out in Hainan province between June 2014 and June 2016. Data related to demography, chronic diseases and lifestyles of the centenarians were collected. Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess the quality of sleep while multivariable logistic Regression model was used to determine the risk factors on the quality of sleep. Results: Of the 730 centenarians in this study, 225 suffered from sleep disorders (30.8%). The average score of PSQI was (6.44±3.05), with the top three problems related to sleep as sleep inefficiency (48.5%), sleep latency (35.5%), and daytime dysfuntion (20.6%) among the centenarians. Results from the multivariate logistic analysis showed that incontinence, cardiovascular disease and chronic pain were risk factors, while habitual afternoon nap, and regular diet appeared as protective factors (P<0.05), related to sleep disorder. Conclusions: Quality of sleep had been a problem to the centenarians in Hainan. Intervention on risk factors of sleep disorder should be helpful on these centenarians.
