Abstract
The current study sought to investigate the effect of nimotuzumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT + Nim) on T lymphocyte subsets in middle-advanced CC. Firstly, patients with middle-advanced CC were administered CCRT or CCRT + Nim. Next, levels of T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of CC patients pre- or post-treatment and healthy females were determined by flow cytometry. The short-term efficacy was evaluated, and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients were recorded. In addition, the correlation of T lymphocyte subsets post-treatment with OS/PFS was assessed with Pearson analysis. CC patients exhibited decreased total T cells/T helper cells/CD4+/CD8+ ratio and increased T suppressor cells/Tregs in peripheral blood. Meanwhile, CCRT and CCRT + Nim improved T lymphocyte subset imbalance, with CCRT + Nim exhibiting better efficacy. CCRT + Nim exhibited better short-term efficacy and higher PFS than CCRT, with no evident difference in OS. The levels of total T cells/T helper cells/T suppressor cells/Tregs were not significantly-correlated with OS/PFS, and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio was correlated with PFS but not OS. Collectively, CCRT + nimotuzumab ameliorate the imbalance of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of middle-advanced CC patients, and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio after therapy is correlated with PFS.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? The utilisation of Nimotuzumab targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an efficient treatment for middle-advanced cervical cancer (CC) has garnered the attention of numerous researchers over the years. T cells represent a major immune cell type in the tumour microenvironment and serve as the basis for maintaining cellular immune functions.What do the results of this study add? Our findings revealed that nimotuzumab combined with CCRT improves the abnormality of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with middle-advanced CC, such that the CD4+/CD8+ ratio after treatment was significantly correlated with progression-free survival (PFS).What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? CCRT of CC may have a short-term negative impact on the peripheral T-cell immune micro-environment, and the combination of nimotuzumab, cisplatin-based chemotherapy, and radiotherapy enhances the frequency of Tregs in peripheral blood. Our findings illustrated that nimotuzumab combined with CCRT can improve the imbalance of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with middle-advanced CC. A better understanding of the mechanisms of these therapies will optimise the selection of patients most likely to benefit from treatment, serving as a reference for further research on the relationship between EGFR-specific T cells and clinical benefit in patients treated with nimotuzumab in combination with CCRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) is a life-threatening disease and lacks effective treatments. Previous studies have confirmed that metabolic profiles altered after ischemic stroke, but how brain metabolism changes after HICH was unclear. This study aimed to explore the metabolic profiles after HICH and the therapeutic effects of soyasaponin I on HICH. METHODS HICH model was established first. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to estimate the pathological changes after HICH. Western blot and Evans blue extravasation assay were applied to determine the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Next, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-untargeted metabolomics was utilized to analyze the metabolic profiles of brain tissues after HICH. Finally, soyasaponin I was administered to HICH rats, and the severity of HICH and activation of the RAAS were further assessed. RESULTS We successfully constructed HICH model. HICH significantly impaired BBB integrity and activated RAAS. HICH increased PE(14:0/24:1(15Z)), arachidonoyl serinol, PS(18:0/22:6(4Z, 7Z, 10Z, 13Z, 16Z, and 19Z)), PS(20:1(11Z)/20:5(5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z, and 17Z)), glucose 1-phosphate, etc., in the brain, whereas decreased creatine, tripamide, D-N-(carboxyacetyl)alanine, N-acetylaspartate, N-acetylaspartylglutamic acid, and so on in the hemorrhagic hemisphere. Cerebral soyasaponin I was found to be downregulated after HICH and supplementation of soyasaponin I inactivated the RAAS and alleviated HICH. CONCLUSION The metabolic profiles of the brains changed after HICH. Soyasaponin I alleviated HICH via inhibiting the RAAS and may serve as an effective drug for the treatment of HICH in the future.

Abstract
A GTPase binding protein, Ras interacting protein 1 (RASIP1), has been reported with a tumor-promoting role in lung cancer cells, and its role in lymphoma remains unknown. The analysis of medical databank shows that RASIP1 is upregulated in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) specimens. In this article, we demonstrated that RASIP1 is highly expressed in DLBCL cell lines, compared with primary B cells. The gain- and loss-of-function experiments were performed to investigate the effects of RASIP1 on DLBCL cells. CCK-8, flow cytometry, western blot, and transwell assays demonstrated that silence of RASIP1 inhibited proliferation, cell cycle transition, and invasion and induced significant apoptosis in DLBCL cells, and ectopic expression of RASIP1 played opposite roles. Xenograft results revealed that RASIP1 facilitated the growth of DLBCL cells in vivo. These findings suggest that RASIP1 may be required for malignancy of DLBCL cells. In addition, we also found that the expression of RASIP1 was negatively regulated by forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), which has been reported to suppress the proliferation of DLBCL cells. Our results indicate that FOXO3 is bound to the promoter sequence of RASIP1 and inhibits its transcription. The suppressive effects of FOXO3 on proliferation and invasion of DLBCL cells were neutralized by RASIP1. In conclusion, we demonstrate that FOXO3 negatively regulated RASIP1 facilitates growth and invasion of DLBCL cells, provides novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for DLBCL in clinic.

Abstract
The US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice recommends routine human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination at 11-12 years of age, but states that vaccination may be initiated as early as 9 years. Our primary goal was to assess whether initiating HPV vaccination at 9-10 years of age, compared to 11-12, was associated with a higher rate of series completion by 13 years of age, and to identify factors associated with series completion by age 13. The study used vaccine claims and other data from the IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters (privately insured) and IBM MarketScan Multi-State Medicaid (publicly insured) databases. Participants were 9-12 years of age and initiated HPV vaccination between January 2006 and December 2018 (publicly insured) or February 2019 (privately insured). Among 100,117 privately insured individuals, those initiating the HPV vaccination series at 9-10 years of age had a significantly higher series completion rate by 13 years of age than did those initiating at 11-12 years of age (76.2% versus 48.1%; p < .001). The same pattern was observed for 115,863 publicly insured individuals (70.4% versus 40.0%; p < .001). Provider and health care plan type, female sex, race/ethnicity, and wellness checks or non-HPV vaccinations during the baseline period were significantly associated with series completion by 13 years of age. Proactive initiation of HPV vaccination at 9-10 years of age was associated with higher rates of series completion by 13 years of age. These findings can inform provider education and other interventions to encourage timely HPV vaccination series completion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that cryoablation (Cryo) causes specific T-cell immune responses in the body; however, it is not sufficient to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. In this report, we evaluated changes in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in distant tumor tissues after Cryo and investigated the immunosuppressive mechanisms that limit the efficacy of Cryo. METHODS Bilateral mammary tumor models were established in mice, and we first observed the dynamic changes in immune cells and cytokines at different time points after Cryo. Then, we confirmed that the upregulation of PD-1 and PD-L1 signaling in the contralateral tumor tissue was closely related to the immunosuppressive state in the TIME at the later stage after Cryo. Finally, we also evaluated the synergistic antitumor effects of Cryo combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) in the treatment of breast cancer (BC) mouse. RESULTS We found that Cryo can stimulate the body's immune response, but it also induces immunosuppression. The elevated PD-1/PD-L1 expression in distant tumor tissues at the later stage after Cryo was closely related to the immunosuppressive state in the TIME but also created the conditions for Cryo combined with PD-1 mAb for BC mouse treatment. Cryo + PD-1 mAb could improve the immunosuppressive state of tumors and enhance the Cryo-induced immune response, thus exerting a synergistic antitumor effect. CONCLUSIONS The PD-1/PD-L1 axis plays an important role in suppressing Cryo-induced antitumor immune responses. This study provides a theoretical basis for Cryo combined with PD-1 mAb therapy in clinical BC patients.

Abstract
Health plans can influence pediatric and primary care providers and patients to understand HPV vaccination coverage and increase HPV vaccination uptake. By initiating vaccination at age nine, health plans can lay the groundwork for on-time HPV cancer prevention by age 13. In 2022, the American Cancer Society engaged 28 health plans in a 12-month HPV vaccination learning collaborative in which plans set their own quality improvement targets, implemented multi-pronged interventions, and joined quarterly best-practice sharing calls. Twenty-five of the 28 plans reported including a focus on ages 9 to 10. Preliminary pre-intervention data illustrate that vaccination rates from participating plans follow national trends and reaffirm existing gaps for HPV vaccination. Health plan interventions to address HPV vaccination are consistent with best practices but could be maximized to target initiation at ages 9-10 by using provider and patient reminders, targeted provider education, and dose-specific provider pay for performance and patient incentive programs. Health plans should explore future capacity to analyze non-HEDIS required data, including HPV initiation and HPV vaccination data for adolescents below age 13.

Abstract
It has been recognized that depth of invasion (DOI) is closely associated with patient survival for most types of cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the DOI optimal cutoff value and its prognostic value in laryngeal squamous carcinoma (LSCC). Most importantly, we evaluated the prognostic performance of five candidate modified T-classification models in patients with LSCC. LSCC patients from Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital were divided into training group (n = 412) and validation group (n = 147). The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS), and the effect of DOI on prognosis was analyzed using a multivariable regression model. We identified the optimal model based on its simplicity, goodness of fit and Harrell's consistency index. Further independent testing was performed on the external validation queue. The nomograms was constructed to predict an individual's OS rate at one, three, and five years. In multivariate analysis, we found significant associations between DOI and OS (Depth of Medium-risk invasion HR, 2.631; P < .001. Depth of high-risk invasion: HR, 5.287; P < .001) and RFS (Depth of high-risk invasion: HR, 1.937; P = .016). Model 4 outperformed the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system based on a low Akaike information criterion score, improvement in the concordance index, and Kaplan-Meier curves. Inclusion of DOI in the current AJCC staging system can improve the differentiation of T classification in LSCC patients.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is routinely recommended for adolescents aged 11 or 12 years but can begin at age 9. On-time HPV vaccination by the thirteenth birthday has proven to be effective in preventing HPV cancer and pre-cancer. However, HPV coverage rates continue to lag behind other routinely recommended vaccinations for adolescents. A promising approach to improving coverage is to start HPV vaccination at age 9. This approach has been endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Cancer Society. Benefits of this approach include increased time to complete vaccination series by the thirteenth birthday, additional spacing of recommended vaccines, and a more concentrated focus on cancer prevention messaging. While promising, little is known about how and if existing evidence-based interventions and approaches can be used to promote starting HPV vaccination at age 9. Implementation science frameworks offer scientific direction in how to adapt current and develop new interventions to promote starting HPV vaccination at age 9 and accelerate dissemination and prevent HPV cancers.

Abstract
Recent guidelines from the American Cancer Society stress HPV vaccination series initiation at the youngest opportunity, i.e., age 9 years. There are limited data on the association between initiating HPV vaccination at ages 9-10 years and up-to-date (UTD) status. In this study, we compare nationally representative UTD HPV vaccination rates between adolescents who initiated the series younger (ages 9-10 years) vs. older (≥ age 11 years). Five years of pooled data (2016-2020) from National Immunization Survey-Teen were used to estimate the UTD HPV vaccination prevalence among younger vs. older initiating 13-17-year-olds. Adjusted logistic regression models estimated prevalence ratios (aPRs), differences (aDs), and difference in differences (aDDs) in prevalence of being UTD to assess the overall association of age at initiation with being UTD and differences in sociodemographic predictors of being UTD among younger vs. older initiators. UTD prevalence for younger initiators was 93% compared with 72% among older initiators (aPR: 1.27,95%CI: 1.24,1.31). Among older initiators, UTD prevalence was significantly different by sex, insurance status, and current age; no such differences were observed among younger initiators. Results indicate that younger initiation is associated with a 27% higher UTD prevalence, highlighting the importance of promoting younger initiation, particularly among those with health-care barriers.

Abstract
The risk for acquiring human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and associated diseases is lifelong. An important part of prophylactic HPV vaccine development is durable protection against infection and disease. With comprehensive long-term follow-up (LTFU) in adolescents, men, and women, the quadrivalent HPV (qHPV) vaccine demonstrated durable effectiveness, immunogenicity, and safety, with almost no breakthrough disease. Those who received a placebo during initial trials were offered the qHPV vaccine at study conclusion and continued to be followed in LTFU extensions. In this catch-up vaccination group, LTFU demonstrated protection even in individuals with current or prior HPV infection after approximately 3 years. The initial efficacy and durable long-term effectiveness of the qHPV vaccine have already translated to a real-world reduction in cancer and cancer precursors. To date, there is no evidence of waning protection; evidence suggests that vaccination ultimately provides strong protection against future disease, with effective prophylaxis even among those with past infections.

Abstract
To investigate the impact of radiation dose on the efficacy of definitive chemoradiotherapy(dCCRT) in patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Wanfang, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) were searched for eligible studies. Studies that compared high-dose radiation(HD-RT) group with low-dose radiation(LD-RT) group using modern radiotherapy techniques for locally advanced esophageal carcinoma patients in dCCRT were identified. The hazard ratios (HR) for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and the odds ratios (OR) for clinical complete response (cCR), local-regional failure (LRF), distant metastasis (DM), and grade≥3 AEs. Meta-analysis was performed when relevant data were available. Eleven studies involving 1943 patients were included for analyses. The results showed that the HD-RT group had better OS (pooled HR 0.78 [0.70, 0.87], p < .00001), PFS (pooled HR 0.72 [0.55, 0.94], p = .01), cCR (OR 1.52 [1.13, 2.05], p = .005), and LRF (OR 0.60 [0.45, 0.80], p = .0004). In addition, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of DM (OR 1.43 [1.00, 2.04], p = .05), grade 3-5 radiation pneumonitis (OR 1.38 [0.71, 2.68], p = .35), grade 3-5 radiation esophagitis (OR 1.36 [0.88, 2.10], p = .17), grade 3-5 other esophageal toxicities(stenosis/fistula/hemorrhage) (OR 1.22 [0.75, 2.00], p = .43), and treatment-related death (OR 1.40 [0.73, 2.68], p = .31). High-dose radiotherapy in definitive CCRT for patients with locally advanced esophageal carcinoma is associated with improved PFS, OS, cCR, and LC with no increase of grade≥3AEs. Simultaneously, we await the preliminary and final results of several ongoing dose-escalation randomized trials. Furthermore, future studies should provide personalized radiotherapy doses for these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To use logistic regression to analyze the attributes underlying patients' treatment options for low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) complicated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection, and identify the best benefit group of different treatment options. METHODS Clinical data of 197 LSIL patients with HR-HPV infection between June 2009 and February 2022 were collected. According to the treatment options chosen by the patients, they were divided into the interferon, photodynamic therapy, follow-up observation, and focused ultrasound (FUS) treatment groups. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors, including age, occupation, education level, maternity history, reason for encounter, route of consultation, annual personal and household income, screening for related risk factors, and identifying the best benefit group of different treatment options. RESULTS One-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference in age, education level, maternity history, reason for encounter, and annual household income (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on these five factors, indicating that age ≤35 years, high school educational level or higher, and no childbirth history were independent risk factors influencing patients' choices of FUS treatment. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the age threshold of 31 years. CONCLUSION Age, educational level, and maternity history were independent risk factors influencing patients' choice of treatment modality for LSIL complicated with HR-HPV infection. Age ≤31 years, high school, equivalent, or higher educational level, and no childbirth yielded a higher rate of choosing FUS treatment for LSIL patients with HR-HPV infection.

Abstract
Individuals who are immunocompromised (IC) due to therapy or underlying disease are at increased risk of herpes zoster (HZ). This study evaluates the public health impact of recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) relative to no HZ vaccination for the prevention of HZ among adults aged ≥18 years diagnosed with selected cancers in the United States (US). A static Markov model was used to simulate three cohorts of individuals who are IC with cancer (time horizon of 30 years; one-year cycle length): hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, patients with breast cancer (BC; a solid tumor example), and patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL; a hematological malignancy example). Cohort sizes reflect the estimated annual incidence of each condition in the US population (19,671 HSCT recipients, 279,100 patients with BC, and 8,480 patients with HL). Vaccination with RZV resulted in 2,297; 38,068; and 848 fewer HZ cases for HSCT recipients, patients with BC, and patients with HL, respectively (each versus no vaccine). Vaccination with RZV also resulted in 422; 3,184; and 93 fewer postherpetic neuralgia cases for HSCT, BC, and HL, respectively. Analyses estimated the quality-adjusted life years gained to be 109, 506, and 17 for HSCT, BC, and HL, respectively. To prevent one HZ case, the number needed to vaccinate was 9, 8, and 10, for HSCT, BC, and HL, respectively. These results suggest RZV vaccination may be an effective option to significantly reduce HZ disease burden among patients diagnosed with selected cancers in the US.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes for cancer-related deaths in the United States. Majority of patients present with unresectable or metastatic disease. For those that present with localized disease, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to maximize survival and optimize outcomes. The quality and safety of surgery for pancreatic cancer have improved in recent years with increasing adoption of minimally invasive techniques and surgical adjuncts. Systemic chemotherapy has also evolved to impact survival. It is now increasingly being utilized in the neoadjuvant setting, often with concomitant radiation. Increased utilization of genomic testing in metastatic pancreatic cancer has led to better understanding of their biology, thereby allowing clinicians to consider potential targeted therapies. Similarly, targeted agents such as PARP inhibitors and immune checkpoint- inhibitors have emerged with promising results. In summary, pancreatic cancer remains a disease with poor long-term survival. However, recent developments have led to improved outcomes and have changed practice in the past decade. This review summarizes current practices in pancreatic cancer treatment and the milestones that brought us to where we are today, along with emerging therapies.

Abstract
In clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), activation of hypoxic signaling induces NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex, 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2) expression. Over 90% of ccRCCs exhibit overexpression of NDUFA4L2, which we previously showed contributes to ccRCC proliferation and survival. The function of NDUFA4L2 in ccRCC has not been fully elucidated. NDUFA4L2 was reported to reduce mitochondrial respiration via mitochondrial complex I inhibition. We found that NDUFA4L2 expression in human ccRCC cells increases the extracellular acidification rate, indicative of elevated glycolysis. Conversely, NDUFA4L2 expression in non-cancerous kidney epithelial cells decreases oxygen consumption rate while increasing extracellular acidification rate, suggesting that a Warburg-like effect is induced by NDUFA4L2 alone. We performed mass-spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics of NDUFA4L2 associated complexes. Comparing RCC4-P (parental) ccRCC cells with RCC4 in which NDUFA4L2 is knocked out by CRISPR-Cas9 (RCC4-KO-643), we identified 3,215 proteins enriched in the NDUFA4L2 immunoprecipitates. Among the top-ranking pathways were "Metabolic Reprogramming in Cancer" and "Glycolysis Activation in Cancer (Warburg Effect)." We also show that NDUFA4L2 enhances mitochondrial fragmentation, interacts with lysosomes, and increases mitochondrial-lysosomal associations, as assessed by high-resolution fluorescence microscopy and live cell imaging. We identified 161 lysosomal proteins, including Niemann-Pick Disease Type C Intracellular Cholesterol Transporters 1 and 2 (NPC1, NPC2), that are associated with NDUFA4L2 in RCC4-P cells. RCC4-P cells have larger and decreased numbers of lysosomes relative to RCC4 NDUFA4L2 knockout cells. These findings suggest that NDUFA4L2 regulates mitochondrial-lysosomal associations and potentially lysosomal size and abundance. Consequently, NDUFA4L2 may regulate not only mitochondrial, but also lysosomal functions in ccRCC.

Abstract
Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) present promising application prospects in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to investigate optimal treatment strategy by comparing the first-line treatment strategies with ICIs in NSCLC. We retrieved relevant studies on first-line therapy of NSCLC with ICIs. Primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary outcomes were treatment-related serious adverse events (tr-SAEs) with grade 3 or higher and objective response rate (ORR). We also conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis. We included 14 studies involving 7,823 patients and compared seven different interventions. In PD-L1 nonselective NSCLC, nivolumab+ipilimumab had good PFS and ORR, pembrolizumab significantly prolonged OS, and nivolumab had the fewest adverse events (AEs). For PD-L1-positive patients, nivolumab remarkably prolonged OS. For those with negative PD-L1, nivolumab+ipilimumab also showed an advantage. In addition, nivolumab+ipilimumab significantly prolonged the PFS in both PD-L1-negative and -positive patients. For patients with PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) within 1-49%, atezolizumab+chemotherapy remarkably prolonged PFS and OS. For those with PD-L1 TPS ≥50%, pembrolizumab prolonged OS and atezolizumab+chemotherapy significantly prolonged PFS. Nivolumab combined with ipilimumab showed advantages in OS, PFS and ORR in most patients. Nivolumab+ipilimumab may be the optimal first-line therapy for NSCLC.

Abstract
Clinician recommendation remains a critical factor in improving HPV vaccine uptake. Clinicians practicing in federally qualified health centers were surveyed between October 2021 and July 2022. Clinicians were asked how they recommended HPV vaccination for patients aged 9-10, 11-12, 13-18, 19-26, and 27-45 y (strongly recommend, offer but do not recommend strongly, discuss only if the patient initiates the conversation, or recommend against). Descriptive statistics were assessed, and exact binomial logistic regression analyses were utilized to examine factors associated with HPV vaccination recommendation in 9-10-y-old patients. Respondents (n = 148) were primarily female (85%), between the ages of 30-39 (38%), white, non-Hispanic (62%), advanced practice providers (55%), family medicine specialty (70%), and practicing in the Northeast (63%). Strong recommendations for HPV vaccination varied by age: 65% strongly recommended for ages 9-10, 94% for ages 11-12, 96% for ages 13-18, 82% for age 19-26, and 26% for ages 27-45 y. Compared to Women's Health/OBGYN specialty, family medicine clinicians were less likely to recommend HPV vaccination at ages 9-10 (p = .03). Approximately two-thirds of clinicians practicing in federally qualified health centers or safety net settings strongly recommend HPV vaccine series initiation at ages 9-10. Additional research is needed to improve recommendations in younger age groups.

Abstract
To explore the impact on timely series completion of initiating the HPV vaccine series prior to other vaccines in the adolescent platform (Tdap or meningococcal vacccines), we created a cohort of children aged 9 in 2015 who were continuously enrolled through the age of 13 (2019) from a national administrative database of employee-sponsored insurance in the United States (MarketScan). Logistic regressions were used to predict the odds of HPV vaccine series completion among those who started the series prior to, concurrent with, or after receiving Tdap or meningococcal vaccination. The cohort included 100,857 eligible children. Compared with adolescents who received their HPV and Tdap or HPV and meningococcal vaccinations concurrently, those who received HPV prior to other vaccines had higher completion (aOR = 1.38 for Tdap, aOR 1.62 for meningococcal), while those who received their HPV vaccination after other vaccines had lower odds of HPV vaccine series completion (aOR = 0.68 for Tdap, aOR = 0.62 for meningococcal). Other factors associated with series completion included female sex, residing in an urban (vs. rural) area, residing in the Northeast, and receiving primary care from a pediatrician (vs. family medicine physician). These data indicate that beginning the HPV vaccine series prior to the adolescent platform may improve on-time series completion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. The incidence of CRC is rising in low- and middle-income countries but decreasing in high-income countries due to the widespread use of surveillance colonoscopy. In Africa, the implementation of screening programs remains a challenge, even in countries, such as Ghana that have established CRC screening guidelines. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review was to identify the barriers and recommend strategies for implementing CRC screening in African countries. METHODS A literature search using PubMed was conducted with the following search terms: colorectal neoplasm, early detection of cancer, mass screening, colonoscopy, faecal occult blood test, faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and Africa. After inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, a total of 13 articles were reviewed. RESULTS The most common barriers reported were limited endoscopic capacity, poor knowledge of CRC and CRC screening, health care factors, cultural factors and sociodemographic factors. Recommendations to increase the availability of CRC screening tests were to include the use of FITs, to provide more training for health care providers, and to expand educational programs for patients, physicians, and religious/community leaders. CONCLUSION The primary barrier to screening for CRC in Africa is the limited endoscopic capacity, specifically the lack of infrastructure and trained personnel, which requires systematic changes by governing bodies. In addition, health care professionals should be involved in educating patients about CRC and CRC screening. Further research is needed to clarify the factors related to subtypes of CRC and to explore the feasibility of using FITs in Africa.

Abstract
Vaccination for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is important to reduce rates of cervical and oropharyngeal cancer. We aimed to evaluate if a program to initiate HPV vaccination at 9 years improved initiation and completion rates by 13 years of age. Data on empaneled patients aged 9-13 years from January 1, 2021 to August 30, 2022 were abstracted from the electronic health record. Primary outcome measures included HPV vaccination initiation and series completion by 13 years of age. The secondary outcome measure was missed opportunities for HPV vaccination. In total, 25,888 patients were included (12,433 pre-intervention, and 13,455 post-intervention). The percentage of patients aged 9-13 with an in-person visit who received at least 1 dose of HPV vaccine increased from 30% pre-intervention to 43% post-intervention. The percentage of patients who received 2 doses of vaccine increased from 19.3% pre-intervention to 42.7% post-intervention. For the overall population seen in-person, initiation of HPV vaccination by age 13 years increased from 42% to 54%. HPV completion increased as well (13% to 18%). HPV vaccination initiation at 9 years of age may be an acceptable and effective approach to improving vaccination rates.

Abstract
HPV vaccination rates remain far below goal, leaving many adolescents unprotected against future HPV-related cancers. Starting HPV vaccine at age 9 may improve timely preteen vaccination. The "HPV Vax at 9" Quality Improvement intervention paired HPV vaccination with 9- and 10-year well child visits and was piloted at two pediatric clinics (n = 9 sites) in Washington between 2018 and 2022. Supporting interventions included standardized immunization schedule posters in exam rooms, electronic medical record supports, provider and staff training, strong provider recommendations, printed educational resources, and peer-to-peer champion coaching. Provider and clinic acceptance was high with HPV vaccine administration occurring at 68-86% of the 9- and 10-year well child visits. During the first year, HPV initiation rates at age 9-10 increased by 30% or more at each clinic. Sustained improvements in initiation and series completion were seen with completion at age 11-12 rising as much as 40% from 22 to 62%. Downward pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic on HPV vaccination rates was mitigated. Pairing HPV vaccine with 9- and 10-year well child visits, posting the standardized immunization schedule, and instituting EMR supports for HPV at 9 may be effective and sustainable strategies to simplify clinic workflows and increase timely HPV vaccination.

Abstract
Airborne particulate matter (PM) is a major health hazard worldwide and is a key factor in lung cancer, which remains the most common type of malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. DNA methylation is a critical mechanism underlying the detrimental effects of PM, however, the molecular link between PM exposure and lung cancer remains to be elucidated. N-α-acetyltransferase 10 (NAA10) is involved in the cell cycle, migration, apoptosis, differentiation, and proliferation. In order to investigate the role of NAA10 in PM-induced pathogenesis processes leading to lung cancer, we determined the expression and methylation of NAA10 in normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells treated with PM10, PM10-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and PM2.5 and evaluated the prognostic value of the NAA10 methylation status in lung cancer patients. Exposure to all PM types significantly increased the expression of NAA10 mRNA and decreased the methylation of the NAA10 promoter in NHBE cells compared with the mock-treated control. NAA10 hypomethylation was observed in 9.3% (13/140) of lung cancer tissue samples and correlated with NAA10 transcriptional upregulation. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that NAA10 hypomethylation was associated with decreased survival of patients with lung cancer. Therefore, these results suggest that PM-induced hypomethylation of the NAA10 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer and may be used as a potential prognostic biomarker for lung cancer progression. Further studies with large numbers of patients are warranted to confirm our findings.

Abstract
This study investigated the role of LncRNA HOTAIR knockdown in the biological impacts on cervical cancer cells. The HOTAIR gene in two human cervical cancer cell lines was silenced with small interfering (si) RNA siHOTAIR. Proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of cells were assessed following the knockdown. The expressions of Notch1, EpCAM, E-cadherin, vimentin and STAT3 were assessed using qRT-PCR and Western blotting analysis. Compared with controls, HOTAIR levels were reduced significantly, the OD values of cells were significantly decreased in proliferation assays, cell apoptosis was significantly increased, cell migration and invasion were significantly reduced after HOTAIR knockdown. Molecular analysis showed that Notch1, EpCAM, vimentin and STAT3 expressions were decreased significantly, while the expression of E-cadherin was significantly increased after HOTAIR knockdown. Rescue experiments further confirmed that Notch1 and STAT3 were involved in siHOTAIR-mediated reduction of migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Long non-coding RNAs including HOTAIR, is implicated in occurrence and development of cancer and have been explored to develop new therapeutic options for cancer.What do the results of this study add? HOTAIR silencing significantly reduces the viability and migration ability of cells and induces cell apoptosis, adding experimental data supporting the potential use of HOTAIR specific-siRNA as a therapeutic avenue for the cancer.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? The finding from this study would help develop clinically applicable therapeutic avenues for the cancer and identify new treatment targets in the relevant pathways leading to new drugs or treatments.

Abstract
AbstractThe presented research concerns the preparation of polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) for the delivery of doxorubicin. Several block and statistical copolymers, composed of ketoester derivative, N-isopropylacrylamide, and cholesterol, were synthesized. In the nanoprecipitation process, doxorubicin (DOX) molecules were kept in spatial polymeric systems. DOX-loaded PNPs show high efficacy against estrogen-dependent MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines despite low doses of DOX applied and good compatibility with normal cells. Research confirms the effect of PNPs on the degradation of the biological membrane, and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the ability to cell cycle arrest are strictly linked to cell death.

Abstract
To explore the potential use of CDK inhibitors in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) therapy, a series of novel 2-((4-sulfamoylphenyl)amino)-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives was designed, synthesised, and investigated for inhibition on both CDK kinase activity and cellular proliferation of pancreatic cancer. Most of new sulphonamide-containing derivatives demonstrated strong inhibitory activity on CDK9 and obvious anti-proliferative activity in cell culture. Moreover, two new compounds suppressed cell proliferation of multiple human pancreatic cancer cell lines. The most potent compound 2g inhibited cancer cell proliferation by blocking Rb phosphorylation and induced apoptosis via downregulation of CDK9 downstream proteins Mcl-1 and c-Myc in MIA PaCa-2 cells. CDK9 knockdown experiment suggests its anti-proliferative activity is mainly mediated by CDK9. Additionally, 2g displayed moderate tumour inhibition effect in AsPC-1 derived xenograft mice model. Altogether, this study provided a new start for further optimisation to develop potential CDK inhibitor candidates for PDAC treatment by alone or combination use.
