Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring during early induction therapy for the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 1 164 ALL patients first diagnosed between October 2016 and June 2019 was collected from 16 hospitals in South China Children's Leukemia Group. According to MRD assay on day 15 of early induction therapy, they were divided into MRD<0.10% group, MRD 0.10%-<10.00% group and MRD≥10.00% group. According to MRD assay on day 33, they were divided into MRD<0.01% group, MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group and MRD≥1.00% group. Age, onset white blood cell count, central nervous system leukemia (CNSL), molecular genetic characteristics and other data were compared between groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Cox regression model was used to analyze prognostic factors. Results: Of the 1 164 enrolled patients, there were 692 males and 472 females. The age of diagnosis was 4.7 (0.5, 17.4) years. The white blood cell count at initial diagnosis was 10.7 (0.4, 1 409.0) ×109/L. Among all patients, 53 cases (4.6%) had CNSL. The follow-up time was 47.6 (0.5, 68.8) months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were (93.1±0.8) % and (90.3±1.1) %. On day 15 of early induction therapy, there were 466 cases in the MRD<0.10% group, 523 cases in the MRD 0.10%-<10.00% group and 175 cases in the MRD≥10.00% group. The 5-year OS rates of the MRD<0.10% group, MRD 0.10%-<10.00% group and MRD≥10.00% group were (95.4±1.0) %, (93.3±1.1) %, (85.4±2.9) %, respectively, while the RFS rates were (93.2±1.6) %, (90.8±1.4) %, (78.9±4.3) %, respectively (χ2=16.47, 21.06, both P<0.05). On day 33 of early induction therapy, there were 925 cases in the MRD <0.01% group, 164 cases in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group and 59 cases in the MRD≥1.00% group. The 5-year RFS rates in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group was lowest among three groups ((91.4±1.2) % vs. (84.5±3.2) % vs. (87.9±5.1) %). The difference between three groups is statistically significant (χ2=9.11, P=0.010). Among ALL patients with MRD≥10.00% on day 15 of induction therapy, there were 80 cases in the MRD <0.01% group on day 33, 45 cases in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group on day 33 and 45 cases in the MRD≥1.00% group on day 33. The 5-year RFS rates of three groups were (83.9±6.0)%, (67.1±8.2)%, (83.3±6.9)% respectively (χ2=6.90, P=0.032). Univariate analysis was performed in the MRD≥10.00% group on day 15 and the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group on day 33.The 5-year RFS rate of children with CNSL was significantly lower than that without CNSL in the MRD≥10.00% group on day 15 ((50.0±20.4)% vs. (80.3±4.4)%,χ2=4.13,P=0.042). Patients with CNSL or MLL gene rearrangement in the MRD 0.01%-<1.00% group on day 33 had significant lower 5-year RFS rate compared to those without CNSL or MLL gene rearrangement ((50.0±25.0)% vs. (85.5±3.1)%,χ2=4.06,P=0.044;(58.3±18.6)% vs. (85.7±3.2)%,χ2=9.44,P=0.002). Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR=0.58, 95%CI 0.35-0.97) and white blood cell count at first diagnosis (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.27-0.70) were independent risk factors for OS. The MRD level on day 15 (OR=0.55,95%CI 0.31-0.97), ETV6-RUNX1 fusion gene (OR=0.13,95%CI 0.03-0.54), MLL gene rearrangement (OR=2.55,95%CI 1.18-5.53) and white blood cell count at initial diagnosis (OR=0.52,95%CI 0.33-0.81) were independent prognostic factors for RFS. Conclusions: The higher the level of MRD in early induction therapy, the worse the OS. The MRD levels on day 15 is an independent prognostic factor for RFS.The MRD in early induction therapy guided accurate risk stratification and individualized treatment can improve the survival rate of pediatric ALL.

Abstract
Magnonic crystals, periodic arrays of magnetic structures, have emerged as a promising platform for manipulating and controlling spin waves in magnetic materials. Magnetic antidot nanostructures, representing 2-D magnonic crystals, are versatile platforms for controlling and manipulating magnons. In this work, we systematically investigate the effects of inter-hole spacing and lattice (rhombic and honeycomb) arrangements on the dynamic properties of Ni80Fe20 antidot structures. The dynamic responses of antidot lattices of fixed hole diameter (d = 280 nm) and inter-hole spacing (s) between 90 and 345 nm are investigated using broadband ferromagnetic spectroscopy. Multiple resonance modes sensitive to s are observed due to the inhomogeneous internal field distribution induced by the presence of holes. There is a marked variation in mode frequency, mode intensity and the number of modes for rhombic antidot lattice as the inter-hole spacing and applied field direction are varied. Our experimental results are in good agreement with micromagnetic simulations. Our findings may find application in the design of magnonic-based devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retifanlimab is a humanized, hinge-stabilized immunoglobulin G4κ monoclonal antibody against human programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). This first-in-human, phase I study assessed the safety and efficacy of retifanlimab in patients with advanced solid tumors and identified optimal dosing. PATIENTS AND METHODS POD1UM-101 was conducted in two parts: (i) dose escalation-evaluated retifanlimab [1 mg/kg every 2 weeks (q2w), 3 or 10 mg/kg q2w or every 4 weeks (q4w)] in patients with relapsed/refractory, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors; (ii) cohort expansion-biomarker-unselected tumor-specific cohorts [endometrial, cervical, sarcoma, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)] received retifanlimab 3 mg/kg q2w, and tumor-agnostic cohorts received flat dosing [375 mg every 3 weeks (q3w), or 500 and 750 mg q4w]. Primary objectives were safety and tolerability; secondary objective was efficacy in selected tumor types. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients were enrolled in dose escalation, 134 in PD-1 therapy-naïve tumor-specific cohort expansion (endometrial, n = 29; cervical, NSCLC, soft tissue sarcoma, each n = 35), and 45 in flat dosing (375 mg q3w, 500 and 750 mg q4w, each n = 15). No dose-limiting toxicities occurred during dose escalation; maximum tolerated dose was not reached and 3-mg/kg q2w expansion dose was selected based on safety and pharmacokinetic data. Immune-related adverse events were experienced by 40 patients (30%) in tumor-specific cohorts (most frequently hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, colitis, nephritis) and 6 (13%) in flat dosing (most frequently hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism). Objective response rate (95% confidence interval) was 14% (4.8 to 30.3), 14% (3.9 to 31.7), 20% (8.4 to 36.9), and 3% (0.1 to 14.9) in advanced NSCLC, endometrial, cervical, and sarcoma tumor-specific cohorts that progressed after multiple prior systemic therapies. CONCLUSIONS Retifanlimab demonstrated clinical pharmacology, safety, and antitumor activity consistent with the programmed death (ligand)-1 inhibitor class. POD1UM-101 results support further exploration of retifanlimab as monotherapy and backbone immunotherapy in combination treatments, with recommended doses of 500 mg q4w and 375 mg q3w.

Abstract
Plant synthetic biology research requires diverse bioparts that facilitate the redesign and construction of new-to-nature biological devices or systems in plants. Limited by few well-characterized bioparts for plant chassis, the development of plant synthetic biology lags behind that of its microbial counterpart. Here, we constructed a web-based Plant Synthetic BioDatabase (PSBD), which currently categorizes 1677 catalytic bioparts and 384 regulatory elements and provides information on 309 species and 850 chemicals. Online bioinformatics tools including local BLAST, chem similarity, phylogenetic analysis, and visual strength are provided to assist with the rational design of genetic circuits for manipulation of gene expression in planta. We demonstrated the utility of the PSBD by functionally characterizing taxadiene synthase 2 and its quantitative regulation in tobacco leaves. More powerful synthetic devices were then assembled to amplify the transcriptional signals, enabling enhanced expression of flavivirus non-structure 1 proteins in plants. The PSBD is expected to be an integrative and user-centered platform that provides a one-stop service for diverse applications in plant synthetic biology research.

Abstract
With the continuous expansion of brain-computer communication, the precise identification of brain signals has become an essential task for brain-computer equipment. However, existing classification methods are primarily concentrated on the extraction features of brain signals and obtain unacceptable performance when directly used the model to a new brain signals data, which is caused by the different people has extraordinary brain signals. In this work, we utilize the deep learning methods not only extract the features of brain signals but also learn the order information of brain signals, which can satisfy the universal brain signals. Indeed, we utilize the classification features dimension distance loss function to optimize the proposed model and enhance the classification accuracy and we compare our model with existing classification methods to evaluate proposed model. From our extensive experimental results and analysis, we can conclude that our model can achieve the classification of brain signals with the reasonable accuracy and acceptable costs.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between the attachment type of lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) and the position of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) by using wireless amplified magnetic resonance imaging detector (WAND) coupled with conventional head and neck joint coil for high resolution imaging of TMJ. Methods: Eighty-five patients with TMD diagnosed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from October 2019 to January 2022 were collected. A total of 160 TMJ were included. There were 16 males and 69 females, aged (32.7±14.2) years. All patients were scanned with open, closed oblique sagittal and coronal WAND coupled head and neck coils with bilateral TMJ. Based on TMJ and LPM high resolution imaging, to explore the correlation between LPM attachment types and the position of TMJ disc in TMD patients, and to evaluate the potential clinical value of LPM attachment types in TMD patients. χ2 test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to evaluate the correlation between LPM attachment type and TMJ disc location. Results: There were three types of LPM attachment: type Ⅰ in 51 cases [31.9% (51/160)], type Ⅱ in 77 cases [48.1% (77/160)] and type Ⅲ in 32 cases [20.0% (32/160)]. There was a significant correlation between the type of LPM attachment and the position of articular disc (χ2=28.20, P=0.002, r=0.776). There was no statistical significance between the type of LPM attachment and the reversible displacement of articular disc (χ2=0.24, P=0.887, r=0.825). Conclusions: There is a correlation between the attachment type of LPM and the position of the disc in TMD patients. WNAD coupled with conventional head and neck joint coil TMJ high resolution scan can provide reliable imaging evidence for TMD patients in evaluating the type of LPM attachment and the location of disc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eribulin mesylate is a novel, nontaxane, microtubule dynamics inhibitor. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of eribulin versus eribulin plus the oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor anlotinib in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this single-center, open-label, phase II clinical study (NCT05206656) conducted in a Chinese hospital, patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with anthracycline- or taxane-based chemotherapy were randomized (1 : 1) to receive eribulin alone or in combination with anlotinib. The primary efficacy endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS From June 2020 to April 2022, a total of 80 patients were randomly assigned to either eribulin monotherapy or eribulin plus anlotinib combination therapy, with 40 patients in each group. The data cut-off was 10 August 2022. The median PFS was 3.5 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.8-5.5 months] for eribulin and 5.1 months (95% CI 4.5-6.9 months) for eribulin plus anlotinib (hazard ratio = 0.56, 95% CI 0.32-0.98; P = 0.04). The objective response rates were 32.5% versus 52.5% (P = 0.07), respectively, and disease control rates were 67.5% versus 92.5% (P = 0.01), respectively. Patients <50 years of age, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0, visceral metastasis, number of treatment lines of four or more, hormone receptor negative (triple-negative), and HER2 low expression appeared to benefit more from combined treatment. The most common adverse events in both groups were leukopenia (n = 28, 70.0%, patients in the eribulin monotherapy group versus n = 35, 87.5%, patients in the combination therapy group), aspartate aminotransferase elevations (n = 28, 70.0%, versus n = 35, 87.5%), neutropenia (n = 25, 62.5%, versus n = 31, 77.5%), and alanine aminotransferase elevations (n = 25, 62.5%, versus n = 30, 75.0%). CONCLUSION Eribulin plus anlotinib can be considered an alternative treatment option for HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Currently there is a lack of effective treatment strategies for malignant superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS). We aim to investigate the therapeutic effect of intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) combined with the Single Needle Cone Puncture method for the 125I brachytherapy (SNCP-125I) in treating SVCS caused by stage III/IV Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-two patients with SCLC who developed SVCS from January 2014 to October 2020 were investigated in this study. Out of these 62 patients, 32 underwent IAC combined with SNCP-125I (Group A) and 30 patients received IAC treatment only (Group B). Clinical symptom remission, response rate, disease control rate, and overall survival of these two groups of patients were analyzed and compared. RESULTS The remission rate of symptoms including dyspnea, edema, dysphagia, pectoralgia, and cough of malignant SVCS in Group A was significantly higher than that in Group B (70.5 and 50.53%, P=0.0004, respectively). The disease control rates (DCR, PR+CR+SD) of Group A and B were 87.5 and 66.7%, respectively (P=0.049). Response rates (RR, PR+CR) of Group A and Group B were 71.9 and 40% (P=0.011). The median overall survival (OS) of Group A was significantly longer than that in Group B which was 18 months compared to 11.75 months (P=0.0360). CONCLUSIONS IAC treatment effectively treated malignant SVCS in advanced SCLC patients. IAC combined with SNCP-125I in the treatment of malignant SVCS caused by SCLC showed improved clinical outcomes including symptom remission and local tumor control rates than IAC treatment only in treating SCLC-induced malignant SVCS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of co-expression of sodium iodide symporter (NIS) reporter gene on the proliferation and cytotoxic activity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in vitro. METHODS T cells expressing CD19 CAR (CAR-T cells), NIS reporter gene (NIS-T cells), and both (NIS-CAR-T cells) were prepared by lentiviral infection. The transfection rates of NIS and CAR were determined by flow cytometry, and the cell proliferation rate was assessed using CCK-8 assay at 24, 48 and 72 h of routine cell culture. The T cells were co-cultured with Nalm6 tumor cells at the effector-target ratios of 1∶2, 1∶1, 2∶1 and 4∶1 for 24, 48 and 72 h, and the cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells to the tumor cells was evaluated using lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. ELISA was used to detect the release of IFN-γ and TNF-β in the co-culture supernatant, and the function of NIS was detected with iodine uptake test. RESULTS The CAR transfection rate was 91.91% in CAR-T cells and 99.41% in NIS-CAR-T cells; the NIS transfection rate was 47.83% in NIS-T cells and 50.24% in NIS- CAR-T cells. No significant difference in the proliferation rate was observed between CAR-T and NIS-CAR-T cells cultured for 24, 48 or 72 h (P> 0.05). In the co-cultures with different effector-target ratios, the tumor cell killing rate was significantly higher in CAR-T group than in NIS-CAR-T group at 24 h (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was observed between the two groups at 48 h or 72 h (P>0.05). Higher IFN-γ and TNF-β release levels were detected in both CAR-T and NIS-CAR-T groups than in the control group (P < 0.05). NIS-T cells and NIS-CAR-T cells showed similar capacity of specific iodine uptake (P>0.05), which was significantly higher than that in the control T cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The co-expression of the NIS reporter gene does not affect CAR expression, proliferation or tumor cell-killing ability of CAR-T cells.

Abstract
Background Locally advanced or metastatic squamous carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC) has poor prognosis following platinum-based chemotherapy. Retifanlimab (INCMGA00012), a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death protein-1 (PD-1), demonstrated clinical activity across a range of solid tumors in clinical trials. We present results from POD1UM-202 (NCT03597295), an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase II study evaluating retifanlimab in patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic SCAC. Patients and methods Patients ≥18 years of age had measurable disease and had progressed following, or were ineligible for, platinum-based therapy. Retifanlimab 500 mg was administered intravenously every 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) by independent central review. Secondary endpoints were duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results Overall, 94 patients were enrolled. At a median follow-up of 7.1 months (range, 0.9-19.4 months), ORR was 13.8% [95% confidence interval (CI) 7.6% to 22.5%], with one complete response (1.1%) and 12 partial responses (12.8%). Responses were observed regardless of human immunodeficiency virus or human papillomavirus status, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, or liver metastases. Stable disease was observed in 33 patients (35.1%) for a DCR of 48.9% (95% CI 38.5% to 59.5%). Median DOR was 9.5 months (range, 5.6 months-not estimable). Median (95% CI) PFS and OS were 2.3 (1.9-3.6) and 10.1 (7.9-not estimable) months, respectively. Retifanlimab safety in this population was consistent with previous experience for the PD-(L)1 inhibitor class. Conclusions Retifanlimab demonstrated clinically meaningful and durable antitumor activity, and an acceptable safety profile in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic SCAC who have progressed on or are intolerant to platinum-based chemotherapy. Retifanlimab (PD-1 inhibitor) monotherapy demonstrated encouraging results in patients with platinum-refractory SCAC. Clinically meaningful antitumor activity was reported with ORR of 13.8% and stable disease in 35.1%, for a DCR of 48.9%. Observed responses in advanced SCAC were durable (median 9.5 months). Acceptable safety profile consistent with that reported for the PD-(L)1 inhibitor class. Promising results warrant further investigation of retifanlimab in advanced SCAC as well as earlier stages of disease.

Abstract
This paper introduced the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-Comparative (QUADAS-C), illustrated the comparison with the QUADAS-2, and using QUADAS-C together with QUADAS-2 to present QUADAS-C results through systematic reviews. Like the domain for QUADAS-2, QUADAS-C retained four domains, including patient selection, index test, reference standard, flow, and timing, and comprised additional questions for each QUADAS-2 part. Unlike the QUADAS-2 tool, the starting question of each domain for QUADAS-C was designed to summarize the risk of biased information captured by QUADAS-2. QUADAS-C only dealt with the risk of bias but did not include the part of concerns regarding applicability. The answers to signaling questions for each domain of QUADAS-C would lead to a 'low''high' or 'unclear' risk of biased judgment for the original study.

Abstract
The emerging plant synthetic metabolic engineering has been exhibiting great promise to produce either value-added metabolites or therapeutic proteins. However, promoters for plant pathway engineering are generally selected empirically. The quantitative characterization of plant-based promoters is essential for optimal control of gene expression in plant chassis. Here, we used N. benthamiana leaves and BY2 suspension cells to quantitatively characterize a library of plant promoters by transient expression of firefly/Renilla luciferase. We validated the dual-luciferase reporter system by examining the correlation between reporter protein and mRNA levels. In addition, we investigated the effects of terminator-promoter combinations on gene expression and found that the combinations of promoters and terminators resulted in a 326-fold difference between the strongest and weakest performance, as reflected in reporter gene expression. As a proof of concept, we used the quantitatively characterized promoters to engineer the betalain pathway in N. benthamiana. Seven selected plant promoters with different expression strengths were used orthogonally to express CYP76AD1 and DODA, resulting in a final betalain production range of 6.0-362.4 μg/g fresh weight. Our systematic approach not only demonstrates the various intensities of multiple promoter sequences in N. benthamiana and BY2 cells but also adds to the toolbox of plant promoters for plant engineering.

Abstract
A total of 49 patients with cerebellopontine angle cholesteatoma from the Department of Neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between January 2013 and January 2021 were recruited. All patients were evaluated by MRI scan before surgery and tumor resection was performed under microscope via retrosigmoid sinus approach. Then residual tumor was searched with 0°and 30°neuroendoscopy, and tumor resection was performed.Residual tumors were foundand resectedin 38 cases under theneuroendoscopy after routine microsurgery.Total and subtotalresections were performed in 44 cases and 5 cases, respectively. Complications included aseptic meningitis (n=8), cerebrospinal fluid leakage (n=1) and intracranial hematoma (n=2). Follow-up[42±3(6-72)months] was available in all patients. During follow-up, 45 cases (91.8%) had a Kar-nofsky Performance Status (KPS)score ≥80.Neuroendoscopy-assisted microsurgery for cerebellopontine angle cholesteatomas helps enhance the total resection rate and decrease the operative risk.

Abstract
5-Deoxy(iso)flavonoids are structural representatives of phenylpropanoid-derived compounds and play critical roles in plant ecophysiology. Recently, 5-deoxy(iso)flavonoids gained significant interest due to their potential applications as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food additives. Given the difficulties in their isolation from native plant sources, engineered biosynthesis of 5-deoxy(iso)flavonoids in a microbial host is a highly promising alternative approach. However, the production of 5-deoxy(iso)flavonoids is hindered by metabolic flux imbalances that result in a product profile predominated by non-reduced analogues. In this study, GmCHS7 (chalcone synthase from Glycine max) and GuCHR (chalcone reductase from Glycyrrhizza uralensis) were preliminarily utilized to improve the CHR ratio (CHR product to total CHS product). The use of this enzyme combination improved the final CHR ratio from 39.7% to 50.3%. For further optimization, a protein-protein interaction strategy was employed, basing on the spatial adhesion of GmCHS7:PDZ and GuCHR:PDZlig. This strategy further increased the ratio towards the CHR-derived product (54.7%), suggesting partial success of redirecting metabolic flux towards the reduced branch. To further increase the total carbon metabolic flux, 15 protein scaffolds were programmed with stoichiometric arrangement of the three sequential catalysts GmCHS7, GuCHR and MsCHI (chalcone isomerase from Medicago sativa), resulting in a 1.4-fold increase in total flavanone production, from 69.4 mg/L to 97.0 mg/L in shake flasks. The protein self-assembly strategy also improved the production and direction of the lineage-specific compounds 7,4'-dihydroxyflavone and daidzein in Escherichia coli. This study presents a significant advancement of 5-deoxy(iso)flavonoid production and provides the foundation for production of value-added 5-deoxy(iso)flavonoids in microbial hosts.

Abstract
The contact lens prepared by the conventional soaking method using timolol-soaking solution showed poor drug uptake and high burst release with altered critical lens properties. In this study, timolol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were prepared and evaluated for enhanced timolol uptake and sustained release for the effective management of glaucoma. The characterization studies indicated that timolol-loaded NLCs were spherical in shape with an average size of 130-138 nm and a zeta potential of -46.6 to 51.3 mV. Critical lens properties such as swelling, optical transmittance, and protein adherence were improved with NLC-laden lenses compared to the conventional soaked lenses (SM-TB). Moreover, SM-TB lens showed low timolol uptake, high burst release, and short release duration up to 24 h compared to timolol-NLC-laden lens that showed high timolol uptake, and the cumulative release was sustained up to 96 h. The ability to sustain timolol release improved proportionally with an increase in the amount of Capmul MCMC8 (liquid lipid) in NLCs. In addition, NLC-laden lens was found to be safe according to the results of ocular irritation and histopathological studies. In the rabbit tear fluid model, NLC-30%-Cap-CL batch showed high timolol concentration at all time points up to 60 h. Further, pharmacodynamic study showed sustained reduction in IOP by NLC-30%-Cap-CL batch for 96 h compared to 48 h and 6 h with SM-TB lens and eye drop solution, respectively. In conclusion, NLCs enhanced timolol uptake in the contact lens from the soaking solution using soaking method with improved in vitro and in vivo results for better clinical outcomes in the patients with glaucoma.

Abstract
AIM To retrospectively evaluate the interobserver variability of intensive care unit (ICU) practitioners and radiologists who used the M-BLUE (modified bedside lung ultrasound in emergency) protocol to assess coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) patients, and to determine the correlation between total M-BLUE protocol score and three different scoring systems reflecting disease severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board approval was obtained and informed consent was not required. Ninety-six lung ultrasonography (LUS) examinations were performed using the M-BLUE protocol in 79 consecutive COVID-19 patients. Two ICU practitioners and three radiologists reviewed video clips of the LUS of eight different regions in each lung retrospectively. Each observer, who was blind to the patient information, described each clip with M-BLUE terminology and assigned a corresponding score. Interobserver variability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient. Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis (R-value) was used to assess the correlation between the total score of the eight video clips and disease severity. RESULTS For different LUS signs, fair to good agreement was obtained (ICC = 0.601, 0.339, 0.334, and 0.557 for 0-3 points respectively). The overall interobserver variability was good for both the five different readers and consensus opinions (ICC = 0.618 and 0.607, respectively). There were good correlations between total LUS score and scores from three systems reflecting disease severity (R=0.394-0.660, p<0.01). CONCLUSION In conclusion, interobserver agreement for different signs and total scores in LUS is good and justifies its use in patients with COVID-19. The total scores of LUS are useful to indicate disease severity.

Abstract
Abnormal accumulation of lymphoblasts in the blood and bone marrow is the main characteristic of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Glucocorticoids are effective drugs for ALL, while glucocorticoid resistance is an obstacle to ALL therapy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in the drug resistance and modulate the response of ALL to glucocorticoids. The role of miR-503 in glucocorticoid sensitivity of ALL was investigated in this study. Firstly, T-leukaemic cells were isolated from patients with ALL. The human ALL cell line (CCRF/CEM) was incubated with dexamethasone to establish a glucocorticoid- resistant ALL cell line (CCRF/CEM-R). Data from MTT showed that IC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) of dexamethasone in T-leukaemic cells isolated from glucocorticoid-resistant ALL patients or CCRF/CEM-R was increased compared with IC50 in T-leukaemic cells isolated from glucocorticoid- sensitive ALL patients or CCRF/CEM. MiR- 503 was down-regulated in glucocorticoid-resistant leukaemic cells and CCRF/CEM-R. Secondly, overexpression of miR-503 sensitized CCRF/CEM-R to dexamethasone. Moreover, over-expression of miR- 503 also promoted the sensitivity of ALL cells to dexamethasone. Thirdly, miR-503 bound to WNT3A mRNA and negatively regulated the expression of WNT3A. Over-expression of miR-503 reduced protein expression of nuclear β-catenin, and over-expression of WNT3A attenuated the miR-503 overexpression- induced decrease in nuclear β-catenin. Lastly, the over-expression of miR-503-induced increased sensitivity of ALL-resistant cells and CCRF/ CEM-R to dexamethasone was attenuated by overexpression of WNT3A. In conclusion, miR-503 targeted WNT3A mRNA to sensitize ALL cells to glucocorticoids through inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteoporosis is a major concern in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this novel study of teriparatide treatment in 6 patients with severe osteoporosis, bone health (fractures, vertebral morphometry, and DXA) remained stable, with no adverse events. These findings will help inform future osteoporosis research in this challenging population. INTRODUCTION Despite standard therapy with vitamin D and bisphosphonates (BP), many patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) continue to sustain fragility fractures due to long-term glucocorticoid treatment and limited mobility. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of teriparatide for the treatment of severe osteoporosis in adolescent and young adult patients with DMD. METHODS We prospectively treated 6 patients with DMD who had severe osteoporosis with teriparatide 20 mcg subcutaneously daily for 1-2 years. Inclusion criteria were long-term glucocorticoid therapy, and severe osteoporosis despite treatment with BP, or intolerance to BP. We examined long bone and vertebral fracture outcomes, including vertebral morphometry measures, bone mineral density and content, bone formation markers, safety indices, and adverse events. RESULTS The mean age at teriparatide start was 17.9 years (range 13.9-22.1 years). All 6 patients were on daily glucocorticoids (mean ± SD; duration 10.9 ± 2.5 years) and 5 were non-ambulatory. Five patients had been treated with BP for 7.9 ± 4.2 years. All had vertebral and a history of long bone fragility fractures at baseline. Vertebral heights and Genant fracture grading remained stable. Long bone fracture rate appeared to decrease (from 0.84/year to 0.09/year); one patient sustained a long bone fracture at 6 months of treatment. Trajectories for change in bone mineral density and content were not different post- vs. pre-teriparatide. Procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) increased, while laboratory safety indices remained stable and non-concerning. No adverse events were observed. CONCLUSION In six patients with DMD treated with teriparatide for severe osteoporosis, we observed stable bone health and modest increases in P1NP, without safety concerns. Further studies are needed to better understand teriparatide efficacy for treatment of osteoporosis in patients with DMD.

Abstract
AIM To determine the optimal thresholds for assessing intervertebral segment stenosis through haemodynamic parameters of colour Doppler ultrasound compared with computed tomography (CT) angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients diagnosed with intervertebral stenosis on colour Doppler imaging were included. Twenty patients with normal vertebral arteries constituted a control group. Peak systolic velocity at the intervertebral stenosis (PSVIV-S) and the intervertebral segment distal to the stenosis (PSVIV-D), end diastolic velocity at the intervertebral stenosis (EDVIV-S), and the intervertebral segment distal to the stenosis (EDVIV-D) were measured, and the ratios of PSVIV-S/PSVIV-D and EDVIV-S/EDVIV-D were calculated. Cut-off values for the diagnosis of <50%, 50-69%, and 70-99% stenosis were determined using a receiver operating characteristics curve. RESULTS The optimal cut-off values of haemodynamic parameters for evaluating the intervertebral artery for <50% stenosis were PSVIV-S ≥81.5 cm/s, EDVIV-S ≥24.5 cm/s, PSVIV-S/PSVIV-D ≥1.49, and EDVIV-S/EDVIV-D ≥1.28; for 50-69% stenosis were PSVIV-S ≥137.5 cm/s, EDVIV-S ≥36.5 cm/s, PSVIV-S/PSVIV-D ≥3.14, and EDVIV-S/EDVIV-D ≥2.75; and for 70-99% stenosis were PSVIV-S ≥216 cm/s, EDVIV-S ≥55 cm/s, PSVIV-S/PSVIV-D ≥4.31, and EDVIV-S/EDVIV-D ≥4.16. PSVIV-S/PSVIV-D was the most superior haemodynamic parameter, with areas under the curve of 1.000, 0.906, and 0.968 for the diagnosis of <50%, 50-69%, and 70-99% stenosis, respectively. CONCLUSION Colour Doppler sonography reliably identifies intervertebral stenosis. The results can be used as a preliminary reference for evaluating intervertebral stenosis.

Abstract
According to historical records of transatlantic slavery, traders forcibly deported an estimated 12.5 million people from ports along the Atlantic coastline of Africa between the 16th and 19th centuries, with global impacts reaching to the present day, more than a century and a half after slavery's abolition. Such records have fueled a broad understanding of the forced migration from Africa to the Americas yet remain underexplored in concert with genetic data. Here, we analyzed genotype array data from 50,281 research participants, which-combined with historical shipping documents-illustrate that the current genetic landscape of the Americas is largely concordant with expectations derived from documentation of slave voyages. For instance, genetic connections between people in slave trading regions of Africa and disembarkation regions of the Americas generally mirror the proportion of individuals forcibly moved between those regions. While some discordances can be explained by additional records of deportations within the Americas, other discordances yield insights into variable survival rates and timing of arrival of enslaved people from specific regions of Africa. Furthermore, the greater contribution of African women to the gene pool compared to African men varies across the Americas, consistent with literature documenting regional differences in slavery practices. This investigation of the transatlantic slave trade, which is broad in scope in terms of both datasets and analyses, establishes genetic links between individuals in the Americas and populations across Atlantic Africa, yielding a more comprehensive understanding of the African roots of peoples of the Americas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical functions and the detailed mechanism of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) JPX in human ovarian cancer cell lines. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of JPX in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines was detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The correlation between JPX expression and prognosis was analyzed by follow-up data. The OVCAR-3 cell proliferation, invasion and migration were measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, cloning formation assay and scratch assay. The cell apoptosis was detected by Bcl-2, Bax, and Caspase-3 activity. PI3K/mTOR inhibitor treatment and Western blot proved that JPX functions associated with PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and test the protein levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-mTOR. RESULTS RT-PCR results showed that the expression of JPX was upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines (p < 0.05), and it was significantly increased in large tumor tissues and metastatic lymph nodes (p < 0.05). The survival rate of high JPX expression patients was much lower than low JPX expression patients (p < 0.05), indicating that high expression of JPX predicted poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. MTT assay, colony formation and scratch assay showed the repression of JPX and resulted with significantly decreased in cell proliferation, invasion and migration of OVCAR-3 cells compared with the control (p < 0.05). PI3K/mTOR inhibitor treatment showed overexpression of JPX could activate the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Western blot assay showed that the expressions of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-mTOR were significantly increased after overexpression of JPX (p < 0.05), and after the inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and overexpression of JPX, the tumor cell proliferation, invasion and migration were significantly repressed, compared with the control (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS JPX could predict the poor prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer, which could promote the tumor cell proliferation, invasion and migration in human ovarian cancer cell lines and inhibited the cell apoptosis through activating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy of induction chemotherapy with or without autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) for newly diagnosed young diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Methods: The retrospective study was performed in 90 cases of young patients (≤60 years) with newly diagnosed DLBCL and an age-adjusted International Prognostic Index (aa-IPI) score of 2 or 3. All of them were treated with R-CHOP (32 cases, rituximab combined with CHOP), dose-intensive regimens (DA-EPOCH, Hyper CVAD/MA or ESHAP) combined with or without rituximab (25 cases), and consolidated with up-front auto-HSCT (33 cases), respectively. The efficacy and the potential predictors were evaluated. Results: ①The median age of 90 patients was 43 (18-60) years old. The median follow-up time was 42 (3-110) months. ②The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) for R-CHOP group, dose-intensive chemotherapy group and auto-HSCT group were (33.5±10.7) %, (55.3±10.1) % and (65.8±13.6) % (P=0.012), the 5-year overall survival (OS) were (49.7±9.0) %, (61.6±10.2) % and (78.6±7.8) % (P=0.035), respectively. There was no significant difference in 5-years PFS and OS between the R-CHOP group and dose-intensive chemotherapy group (P=0.519, P=0.437) compared with that of the dose-intensive chemotherapy group, auto-HSCT group has higher 5-year PFS (P=0.042). ③ When stratified with IPI score, the high-risk group treated with auto-HSCT (26 cases) showed similar 5-years PFS and 5-years OS to those in the low-risk group with chemotherapy alone (12 cases were in R-CHOP group and 8 cases were in dose-intensive chemotherapy group) [5-years PFS were (62.3 ±14.3)%, (58.3 ±18.6)% and (51.4±18.7)%, respectively, P=0.686; 5-years OS were (69.2±13.9)%, (62.5±15.5)% and (58.3±18.6)%, respectively, P=0.592]. ④However, the high-risk group treated with auto-HSCT (26 cases) showed superior 5-years PFS (P=0.002) and 5-years OS (P=0.019) compared to the high-risk group with chemotherapy alone (20 cases were in R-CHOP group and 17 cases were in dose-intensive chemotherapy group) [5-years PFS were (62.3±14.3)%, (41.1±13.5)% and (21.9±11.6)%, respectively; 5-years OS were (69.2±13.9)%, (51.5%±14.0)% and (35.4±13.6)%, respectively]. ⑤In the univariate analysis, as a whole, patients diagnosed with GCB subtype had higher 3-years PFS (P=0.022) and 3-years OS (P=0.037) compared to non-GCB subtype patients; in subgroup analysis, patients diagnosed with GCB subtype had higher 3-years PFS and 3-years OS compared to non-GCB subtype both in R-CHOP group (P=0.030, P=0.041) and dose-intensive chemotherapy group (P=0.044, P=0.047), but not in auto-HSCT group (P=0.199, P=0.093). ⑥In the multivariate analysis, different molecular classification (GCB/non-GCB) was an independent predictor for PFS and OS both in R-CHOP group [HR=0.274 (95% CI 0.094-0.800), P=0.018; HR=0.408 (95% CI 0.164-1.015), P=0.045] and dose-intensive chemotherapy group [HR=0.423 (95% CI 0.043-1.152), P=0.048; HR=5.758 (95% CI 0.882-6.592), P=0.035]. However, there was no significant difference in PFS and OS for auto-HSCT group between GCB/non-GCB patients. Conclusion: Induction chemotherapy followed by up-front auto-HSCT has significant effect on efficacy for young and untreated patients with high risk DLBCL. Combined with induction chemotherapy followed by up-front auto-HSCT could improve the prognosis of non-GCB patients.
