Abstract
SUMMARY Autologous fat injection is one of the most popular methods for the treatment of temporal depression; however, accurate puncture into the target layer without vascular compromise is hard to achieve. With the aid of high-frequency ultrasonography, the authors performed autologous fat transplantation after visualization in five cases, with satisfactory results. The authors observed the course of superficial temporal vessels, the orbitozygomatic artery, and sentinel veins preoperatively, and used high-frequency ultrasonography to guide lipotransfer into the desired layer intraoperatively, to avoid intravascular injection. With the aid of high-frequency ultrasonography, the authors can easily prevent vascular complications and personalize surgical procedures, as anatomical variations of vasculature can also be detected by means of this method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat transplantation supported by supplementation with ASCs has become a reliable procedure for treating soft tissue defects. However, the unpredictable survival rates for grafted fat remains a challenge with post-transplantation ischemia causing tissue loss. MiR126, which regulates VEGF signaling, is an endothelial cell-specific miRNA known to play an essential role in angiogenesis. We hypothesized that increased miR126 expression in grafted ASCs may promote fat survival within an autologous fat transfer model. METHODS Rat adipose-derived stem cells were isolated, expanded ex vivo for three passages and then transduced with miR126. We used PCR to verify lentiviral transduction and ELISA to confirm VEGF expression. We then mixed autologous fat tissues from our rat model with transduced ASCs, augmented with a nonsense control or miR126 expression vector. These mixtures were used in the fat grafting procedure, completed via subcutaneous injection at three paravertebral points in each rat. Fat grafts were then harvested on days 4, 7, 14, and 28 post-transplant and evaluated for survival, neovascularization, and protein expression via western blot. RESULTS VEGF expression levels in ASCs, Con-ASCs, and miR126-ASCs were not significantly different. However, miR126-ASCs experienced significantly improved survival on days 7, 14, and 28 when compared with the other groups. These ASCs also presented with the greatest capillary density on days 7, 14, and 28 post-transplantation as well as increased p-ERK and p-AKT expression when compared to the other groups. CONCLUSION This data suggests that miR126 augmentation of ASCs may help to enhance the survival and angiogenic capacity of transplanted fat tissues, and that this augmentation was not dependent on VEGF but rather the activation of the ERK/AKT pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical, pathological response, and prognosis characteristics of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low breast cancer in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy setting. METHODS Patients with HER2-negative breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy from January 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. HER2-negative breast cancer was divided into two groups: HER2-zero (defined as immunohistochemistry [IHC] 0) and HER2-low (defined as IHC 1+, or IHC 2+ and fluorescence in-situ hybridization-negative. RESULTS Overall, 314 patients with HER2-negative breast cancer were analyzed. The proportion of HER2-low patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive disease was higher than in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC; 75.3% vs. 63.2%, p = 0.032). In HR-positive breast cancer, HER2-low tumors presented less nodal involvement (p = 0.023) and earlier clinical stage (p = 0.015) compared with HER2-zero tumors; however, in TNBC, HER2-low patients had a later clinical stage (p = 0.028). With the pathological complete response (pCR) defined as ypTis/0ypN0, there was no difference in pCR rates among the entire cohort, HR-positive disease, and TNBC. However, with the pCR defined as ypT0ypN0, the pCR rate in HER2-low breast cancer was significantly lower than HER2-zero breast cancer in the entire cohort (24.3% vs. 36.4%, p = 0.032) and the HR-positive subgroup (18.7% vs. 32.1%, p = 0.035), but not for TNBC. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that HER2 status (low vs. zero) was an independent predictive factor for pCR (p = 0.013) in HR-positive breast cancer. There were no statistically significant differences in 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival between HER2-low and HER2-zero breast cancer among the entire cohort, HR-positive disease, and TNBC. CONCLUSIONS HER2-low breast cancer exhibits specific clinical features and different response to treatment associated with HR status in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy setting.

Abstract
Background Antiangiogenic agents provides an optional treatment strategy for patients with metastatic breast cancer. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib as third-line or above therapy for patients with HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer. Methods Patients with HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer who have failed from prior therapy and treated with anlotinib monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy or immunotherapy from June 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed based on real-world clinical practice. The primary end point was progression free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results 47 patients with HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer received anlotinib monotherapy or combination therapy as third-line or above therapy. In the general population, 10 patients achieved PR, 25 patients had SD and 12 patients had PD. The overall ORR and DCR were 21.3% and 74.5%, respectively. Subgroup analysis suggested that there were no statistically significant differences in ORR and DCR with respect to HR status (positive vs. negative), treatment programs (monotherapy vs. combination) and treatment type in combination group (chemotherapy vs. immunotherapy). The patients who did not received previously anti-angiogenesis therapy had superior DCR (84.8% vs. 50.0%, P=0.012). Median PFS and OS were 5.0 months (95% CI=4.3-5.7) and 21.0 (95% CI=14.9-27.1) months, respectively. The PFS (6.5m vs. 3.5m, P=0.042)and OS (28.2m vs. 12.6m, P=0.040) were better in HR positive patients than HR negative patients. And simultaneously, patients who received anlotinib combination therapy obtained better PFS (5.5m vs. 3.0m, P=0.045). The incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse events(AEs) was 31.9%. Conclusions Anlotinib monotherapy or combination therapy provide a viable third-line or above therapeutic strategy in patients with HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer, a median PFS of 5.0 months was obtained with well tolerated toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is accumulating evidence support human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low as a biologically distinct subtype of breast cancer. The present study was conducted to explore whether HER2-low expression will affect the clinical efficacy of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer. METHODS Patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who were treated with palbociclib from January 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed based on real-world clinical practice. HER2-zero was defined as immunohistochemistry (IHC) 0, and HER2-low was defined as IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) negative. The primary end point was progression free survival (PFS), and the secondary end points were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival(OS) and safety. RESULTS 45 patients received palbociclib plus aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant therapy, including 24 HER-2-zero and 21 HER-2-low patients. There were no statistically significant differences in clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups. No significant differences were observed in ORR (41.7% vs. 28.6%, P=0.360) and DCR (79.2% vs. 76.2%, P=0.811) between HER-2-zero and HER-2-low patients. And simultaneously, HER2-zero and HER2-low patients obtained similar median PFS (16.2m vs. 14.1m, P=0.263). The median OS was not reached. Neutropenia and leukopenia were the most common adverse events. Grade 3-4 adverse events(AEs) occurred in 58.3% and 57.1% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS HER2-low expression does not affect the clinical efficacy of palbociclib and our present study did not support incorporating HER2-low into systemic therapy decisions for patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer treated with CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Abstract
The 21 authors of this study, 19 of whom are non-native English speakers, reflect on the barriers to publishing academic journal articles in top international journals. Each author responded to the same set of questions pertaining to educational (PhD) opportunities for emerging scholars, financial conditions for researchers, and challenges in publishing their work. Limited English language skills, lack of research funding, and different research topics were identified as the most significant barriers to publish in the journals. Recruiting volunteers or using electronic translations for accepted articles for journals, reducing software and subscription to academic journals costs, expanding journal scope, and providing guidance and collaboration across borders are possible measures to reduce the negative impact of the barriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is the most common type of cutaneous xanthoma and has been treated with intralesional injection of pingyangmycin effectively. However, bleomycin, which has the same effect in antitumor activity as pingyangmycin, has not been applied in the treatment of XP. AIMS To explore and assess the treatment of xanthelasma by intralesional injection of bleomycin, which has been widely used as an antitumor antibiotic, for the replacement of pingyangmycin. METHODS Intralesional injection of different concentrations of bleomycin was administered to 44 xanthelasma lesions of 24 patients who have never been treated before, divided into two groups according to age. Photographs were taken and analyzed to assess the therapeutic efficiency. Patients were then followed up for 6-24 months. RESULTS All the lesions resolved after 1 month of treatment with the intralesional injection of different concentrations of bleomycin. There was no significant difference observed between the two groups. No severe complications had occurred. CONCLUSION The treatment of XP with intralesional injection of bleomycin is minimally invasive, safe, and effective. Consequently, it also has good cosmetic outcome with no adverse effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the anti-apoptotic effect of perindopril on myocardial cells in mice with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 48 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups before intervention, namely sham operation group (Sham group, n=12), AMI group (n=12), 1.5 mg/kg perindopril treatment group (Perindopril group, n=12), and 1.5 mg/kg perindopril treatment and Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) knockout group (TLR4-/-Perindopril group, n=12). Mice in the control group and AMI group were gavaged with normal saline, and those in the Perindopril group and TLR4-/-Perindopril group were gavaged with perindopril for 7 d. On the 4th day after drug administration, mice in the AMI group, Perindopril group and TLR4-/-Perindopril group were subjected to the ligation of the anterior descending coronary artery to induce AMI, and those in the Sham group underwent the same operation, but had a loose knot at the anterior descending coronary artery. At 24 h after the above operation, color echocardiography was performed on mice to observe changes in cardiac function. Then, the mice were sacrificed. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP)-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was carried out to determine myocardial apoptosis. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting technique were employed to detect the protein expression levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), TLR4 and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) p50 in infarction zones. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p50 in infarction zones were measured via Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Perindopril could significantly reduce the number of apoptotic myocardial cells after AMI. Mouse echocardiography showed that ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular fractional shortening (FS), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) of AMI mice in the Perindopril groups were markedly superior to those in the AMI group. AMI mice in the Perindopril group had decreased expression levels of Bax protein and TLR4 and NF-κB p50 mRNA and protein, as well as the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Knockout of TLR4 attenuated the effect of perindopril in alleviating myocardial apoptosis after AMI. CONCLUSIONS Perindopril inhibits myocardial apoptosis in mice with AMI through the TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

Abstract
Multiple-color-emissive carbon dots (CDots) have potential applications in various fields such as bioimaging, light-emitting devices, and photocatalysis. The majority of the current CDots to date exhibit excitation-wavelength-dependent emissions with their maximum emission limited at the blue-light region. Here, a synthesis of multiple-color-emission CDots by controlled graphitization and surface function is reported. The CDots are synthesized through controlled thermal pyrolysis of citric acid and urea. By regulating the thermal-pyrolysis temperature and ratio of reactants, the maximum emission of the resulting CDots gradually shifts from blue to red light, covering the entire light spectrum. Specifically, the emission position of the CDots can be tuned from 430 to 630 nm through controlling the extent of graphitization and the amount of surface functional groups, COOH. The relative photoluminescence quantum yields of the CDots with blue, green, and red emission reach up to 52.6%, 35.1%, and 12.9%, respectively. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the CDots can be uniformly dispersed into epoxy resins and be fabricated as transparent CDots/epoxy composites for multiple-color- and white-light-emitting devices. This research opens a door for developing low-cost CDots as alternative phosphors for light-emitting devices.

Abstract
Kernel discriminant analysis (KDA) is a dimension reduction and classification algorithm based on nonlinear kernel trick, which can be novelly used to treat high-dimensional and complex biological data before undergoing classification processes such as protein subcellular localization. Kernel parameters make a great impact on the performance of the KDA model. Specifically, for KDA with the popular Gaussian kernel, to select the scale parameter is still a challenging problem. Thus, this paper introduces the KDA method and proposes a new method for Gaussian kernel parameter selection depending on the fact that the differences between reconstruction errors of edge normal samples and those of interior normal samples should be maximized for certain suitable kernel parameters. Experiments with various standard data sets of protein subcellular localization show that the overall accuracy of protein classification prediction with KDA is much higher than that without KDA. Meanwhile, the kernel parameter of KDA has a great impact on the efficiency, and the proposed method can produce an optimum parameter, which makes the new algorithm not only perform as effectively as the traditional ones, but also reduce the computational time and thus improve efficiency.

Abstract
The frequency of the Robertonian (ROB) translocation in newborn babies is approximately one in 1000. Robertsonian translocation is an unusual type of chromosome rearrangement caused by two particular chromosomes joining together. The aim of the study was to analyze the segregation of the ROB translocations in 13 male carriers, and to verify a possible inter-chromosomal effect (ICE) of the ROB translocation on chromosomes 18, X, and Y. Thirteen male patients were included in the study. Multicolor fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to analyze chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 18, X and Y in sperm. Among the heterozygous ROB translocation carriers, the frequency of normal/balanced spermatozoa resulting from alternate segregation varied between 70.4 and 85.2%. The frequency of unbalanced spermatozoa resulting from adjacent segregation varied between 14.8 and 29.6%. Increased frequencies of aneuploidy for a sex chromosome were found in 10 ROB translocation carriers (P2-P8, P10-P12). Increased frequencies of aneuploidy for chromosome 18 were found in10 ROB translocation carriers (P3-P9, P11-P13). In addition, increased frequencies of diploid were found in 11 ROB translocation carriers (P2-P9, P11-P13). Among the homozygous ROB translocation carriers, the rate of balanced spermatozoa was 99.7% and the frequency of unbalanced spermatozoa was 0.3%. However, the frequencies of aneuploidy for a sex chromosome and chromosome 18 were normal. Despite the high number of normal/balanced frequencies, there remained many unbalanced spermatozoa resulting from alternate segregation. The ROB translocation carriers may be at an increased risk for ICE. Robertsonian translocation homozygosity could be seen as a potential speciation in humans with 44 chromosomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study investigated alteration of brain resting-state activity induced by antidepressant treatment and attempted to investigate whether treatment efficacy can be predicted at an early stage of pharmacological treatment. METHOD Forty-eight first-episode medication-free patients diagnosed with major depression received treatment with escitalopram. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was administered prior to treatment, 5 h after the first dose, during the course of pharmacological treatment (week 4) and at endpoint (week 8). Resting-state activity was evaluated in the course of the 8-week treatment and in relation to clinical improvement. RESULTS Escitalopram dynamically modified resting-state activity in depression during the treatment. After 5 h the antidepressant induced a significant decrease in the signal in the occipital cortex and an increase in the dorsolateral and dorsomedial prefrontal cortices and middle cingulate cortex. Furthermore, while remitters demonstrated more obvious changes following treatment, these were more modest in non-responders suggesting possible tonic and dynamic differences in the serotonergic system. Changes after 5 h in the caudate, occipital and temporal cortices were the best predictor of clinical remission at endpoint. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed the possibility of using the measurement of resting-state neural changes a few hours after acute administration of antidepressant to identify individuals likely to remit after a few weeks of treatment.

Abstract
With existing techniques for mode-locking, the bandwidth of ultrashort pulses from a laser is determined primarily by the spectrum of the gain medium. Lasers with self-similar evolution of the pulse in the gain medium can tolerate strong spectral breathing, which is stabilized by nonlinear attraction to the parabolic self-similar pulse. Here we show that this property can be exploited in a fiber laser to eliminate the gain-bandwidth limitation to the pulse duration. Broad (∼200 nm) spectra are generated through passive nonlinear propagation in a normal-dispersion laser, and these can be dechirped to ∼20-fs duration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the long-term results of fibrin glue embolization to eliminate type I endoleaks after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and to assess the feasibility and durability of this technique. METHODS From August 2002 to June 2010, among the 953 EVAR patients, 51 (5.4%) patients underwent intraoperative transcatheter fibrin glue sac embolization to resolve type I endoleak persisting after initial intraoperative maneuvers to close the leak or in necks too short or angulated for cuff placement. Computed tomographic angiography was performed to assess the outcome after 3, 6, and 12 months and annually thereafter. A retrospective study was conducted, and characteristics of the patients, intra-sac pressure, hospital course, and long-term outcomes were recorded. RESULTS Among the 51 patients, 19 (37.3%) patients had proximal necks long < 10 mm, and 6 (11.8%) patients had proximal neck angulation > 60°; 22 patients (3 additional iliac extension, 14 cuffs, and/or 8 stents) had been placed with additional devices. After fibrin glue injection, 50 (98.0%) of the 51 endoleaks were successfully resolved, and intra-sac pressure (including systolic, diastolic, mean pressures, pulse pressure, and the mean pressure indexes) decreased significantly in these cases. The patient who failed embolotherapy was converted to open surgery (2.0%); he died 2 months later from multiorgan failure. And other two (4.8%) patients died in the peri-operative period from myocardial infarction. The median of follow-up of 48 patients was 45 months (range 4 - 106 months). The mean maximal aneurysm diameter fell from the baseline (61.5 ± 15.2) mm to (48.8 ± 10.1) mm (P = 0.000). Three (6.2%) patients died in the follow-up duration (1 aneurysm-related, died of renal failure which was caused by the compromised renal artery). Cumulative survival was 97.9% at 1 year, 94.5% at 3 years, and 90.8% at 4 years. No recurrent type I endoleak or glue-related complications were observed in follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Fibrin glue embolization to eliminate type I endoleak after EVAR has yielded promising results in this study, and it can effectively and durable resolve the type I endoleaks. Balloon occlusion of the inflow of the endoleak must be done during glue injection, to enhance the safety and facilitate formation of a structured fibrin clot.
