Abstract
PURPOSE The research endeavors to explore the implications of CD47 in cancer immunotherapy effectiveness. Specifically, there is a gap in comprehending the influence of CD47 on the tumor immune microenvironment, particularly in relation to CD8 + T cells. Our study aims to elucidate the prognostic and immunological relevance of CD47 to enhance insights into its prospective utilities in immunotherapeutic interventions. METHODS Differential gene expression analysis, prognosis assessment, immunological infiltration evaluation, pathway enrichment analysis, and correlation investigation were performed utilizing a combination of R packages, computational algorithms, diverse datasets, and patient cohorts. Validation of the concept was achieved through the utilization of single-cell sequencing technology. RESULTS CD47 demonstrated ubiquitous expression across various cancer types and was notably associated with unfavorable prognostic outcomes in pan-cancer assessments. Immunological investigations unveiled a robust correlation between CD47 expression and T-cell infiltration rather than T-cell exclusion across multiple cancer types. Specifically, the CD47-high group exhibited a poorer prognosis for the cytotoxic CD8 + T cell Top group compared to the CD47-low group, suggesting a potential impairment of CD8 + T cell functionality by CD47. The exploration of mechanism identified enrichment of CD47-associated differentially expressed genes in the CD8 + T cell exhausted pathway in multiple cancer contexts. Further analyses focusing on the CD8 TCR Downstream Pathway and gene correlation patterns underscored the significant involvement of TNFRSF9 in mediating these effects. CONCLUSION A robust association exists between CD47 and the exhaustion of CD8 + T cells, potentially enabling immune evasion by cancer cells and thereby contributing to adverse prognostic outcomes. Consequently, genes such as CD47 and those linked to T-cell exhaustion, notably TNFRSF9, present as promising dual antigenic targets, providing critical insights into the field of immunotherapy.

Abstract
To compare different rat models of sepsis at different time points, based on pulmonary or extrapulmonary injury mechanisms, to identify a model which is more stable and reproducible to cause sepsis-associated acute lung injury (ALI). Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to (1) cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) with single (CLP1 group) or two repeated through-and-through punctures (CLP2 group); (2) tail vein injection with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of 10mg/kg (IV-LPS10 group) or 20 mg/kg (IV-LPS20 group); (3) intratracheal instillation with LPS of 10mg/kg (IT-LPS10 group) or 20mg/kg (IT-LPS20 group). Each of the model groups had a sham group. 7-day survival rates of each group were observed (n=15 for each group). Moreover, three time points were set for additional experimental studying in each model group: 4 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after modeling (every time point, n=8 for each group). Rats were sacrificed to collect BALF and lung tissue samples at different time points for detection of IL-6, TNF-alpha, total protein concentration in BALF and MPO activity, HMGB1 protein expression in lung tissues, as well as the histopathological changes of lung tissues. More than 50 % of the rats died within 7 days in each model group, except for the IT-LPS10 group. In contrast, the mortality rates in the two IV-LPS groups as well as the IT-LPS20 group were significantly higher than that in IT-LPS10 group. Rats received LPS by intratracheal instillation exhibited evident histopathological changes and inflammatory exudation in the lung, but there was no evidence of lung injury in CLP and IV-LPS groups. Rat model of intratracheal instillation with LPS proved to be a more stable and reproducible animal model to cause sepsis-associated ALI than the extrapulmonary models of sepsis.

Abstract
The study of children who experienced with febrile seizures(FS) as a result of COVID-19 infection to gain insight into the clinical characteristics and prognosis of neurological damage, with the aim of improving prevention, diagnosis, and the treatment of neurological complications. This study investigated the clinical features of 53 children with FS who were admitted to Sanya Women and Children's Hospital from December 1, 2022, to January 31, 2023. The results indicated that the duration of convulsion in the case and control group was 7.90±8.91 and 2.67±1.23 (minutes) respectively. The analysis reveals that convulsions occurred within 24 hours in 39 cases (95.12%) of the case group, and in 8 cases (66.7%) of the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Additionally, the case group presented lower counts of WBC and NEU compared to the control group (p<0.05). The findings indicate that convulsions manifest at earlier stages of COVID-19 in children and the last longer than in the control group. It is therefore crucial for healthcare workers to remain attentive to patients with COVID-19 who report fever within 24 hours, and act promptly to implement preventive measures, particularly in cases of prolonged fever. It is essential to integrate the clinical manifestation, particularly convulsions, and the continuous numerical changes of inflammatory factors to assess COVID-19 linked with febrile seizures. In addition, larger-scale multi-center and systematic research are necessary to aid clinicians in monitoring neuropathological signals and biological targets, enabling more equitable diagnosis and treatment plans.

Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can cause urethral compression, bladder stone formation, and renal function damage, which may endanger the life of patients. Therefore, we aimed to develop plant-based preparations for BPH treatment with no side effects. In this study, the Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 322Hp, Lactobacillus acidophilus 322Ha, and Limosilactobacillus reuteri 322Hr were used to ferment rape pollen. The fermented rape pollen was subsequently converted into fermented rape pollen powder (FRPP) through vacuum freeze-drying technology. After fermenting and drying, the bioactive substances and antioxidant capacity of FRPP were significantly higher than those of unfermented rapeseed pollen, and FRPP had a longer storage duration, which can be stored for over one year. To investigate the therapeutic effect of FRPP on BPH, a BPH rat model was established by hypodermic injection of testosterone propionate. The BPH rats were treated differently, with the model group receiving normal saline, the positive control group receiving finasteride, and the low, medium, and high dose FRPP group receiving FRPP at doses of 0.14 g/kg/d, 0.28 g/kg/d, and 0.56 g/kg/d, respectively. The results indicate that medium dose FRPP reduced the levels of hormone such as testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and oestradiol in rats with BPH by about 32%, thus bringing the prostate tissue of BPH rats closer to normal. More importantly, medium dose FRPP treatment had a significant effect on the composition of gut microbiota in rats with BPH, increasing the levels of beneficial genera (such as Coprococcus and Jeotgalicoccus), and decreasing the levels of harmful pathogens (such as Turicibacter and Clostridiaceae_Clostridium) in the gut. This study showed that medium dose FRPP reduced the hormone level and regulated the unbalanced gut microbiota in BPH rats, thereby alleviating BPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advantages of radiotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) depend on the radiation sensitivity of the patient. Here, we established and verified radiological factor-related gene signature and built a prognostic risk model to predict whether radiotherapy would be beneficial. METHODS Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus, and RadAtlas databases were subjected to LASSO regression, univariate COX regression, and multivariate COX regression analyses to integrate genomic and clinical information from patients with HNSCC. HNSCC radiation-related prognostic genes were identified, and patients classified into high- and low-risk groups, based on risk scores. Variations in radiation sensitivity according to immunological microenvironment, functional pathways, and immunotherapy response were investigated. Finally, the expression of HNSCC radiation-related genes was verified by qRT-PCR. RESULTS We built a clinical risk prediction model comprising a 15-gene signature and used it to divide patients into two groups based on their susceptibility to radiation: radiation-sensitive and radiation-resistant. Overall survival was significantly greater in the radiation-sensitive than the radiation-resistant group. Further, our model was an independent predictor of radiotherapy response, outperforming other clinical parameters, and could be combined with tumor mutational burden, to identify the target population with good predictive value for prognosis at 1, 2, and 3 years. Additionally, the radiation-resistant group was more vulnerable to low levels of immune infiltration, which are significantly associated with DNA damage repair, hypoxia, and cell cycle regulation. Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion scores also suggested that the resistant group would respond less favorably to immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Our prognostic model based on a radiation-related gene signature has potential for application as a tool for risk stratification of radiation therapy for patients with HNSCC, helping to identify candidates for radiation therapy and overcome radiation resistance.

Abstract
AIM To explore the value of radiomics analysis in preoperatively predicting visceral pleural invasion (VPI) of lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) with ≤3 cm maximum diameter and to compare the performance of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) radiomics models. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 391 LAC patients were enrolled retrospectively, of whom 142 were VPI (+) and 249 were VPI (-). Radiomics features were extracted from 2D and 3D regions of interest (ROIs) of tumours in CT images. 2D and 3D radiomics models were developed combining the optimal radiomics features by using the logistic regression machine-learning method and radiomics scores (rad-scores) were calculated. Nomograms were constructed by integrating independent risk factors and rad-scores. The performance of each model was evaluated by using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), clinical impact curve (CIC), and calculating the area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS There was no difference in the VPI prediction between 2D and 3D radiomics models (training group: 2D AUC=0.835, 3D AUC=0.836, p=0.896; validation group: 2D AUC=0.803, 3D AUC=0.794, p=0.567). The 2D and 3D nomograms performed similarly regarding discrimination (training group: 2D AUC=0.867, 3D AUC=0.862, p=0.409, validation group: 2D AUC=0.835, 3D AUC=0.827, p=0.558), and outperformed their corresponding radiomics models and the clinical model. DCA and CIC revealed that the 2D nomogram had slightly better clinical utility. CONCLUSION The 2D radiomics model has a similar discrimination capability compared with the 3D radiomics model. The 2D nomogram performs slightly better for individual VPI prediction in LAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The predictive efficacy of current biomarker of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is not sufficient. This study investigated the causality between radiomic biomarkers and immunotherapy response status in patients with stage IB-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including its biological context for ICIs treatment response prediction. METHODS CT images from 319 patients with pretreatment NSCLC receiving immunotherapy between January 2015 and November 2021 were retrospectively collected and composed a discovery (n=214), independent validation (n=54), and external test cohort (n=51). A set of 851 features was extracted from tumorous and peritumoral volumes of interest (VOIs). The reference standard is the durable clinical benefit (DCB, sustained disease control for more than 6 months assessed via radiological evaluation). The predictive value of combined radiomic signature (CRS) for pathological response was subsequently assessed in another cohort of 98 patients with resectable NSCLC receiving ICIs preoperatively. The association between radiomic features and tumor immune landscape on the online data set (n=60) was also examined. A model combining clinical predictor and radiomic signatures was constructed to improve performance further. RESULTS CRS discriminated DCB and non-DCB patients well in the training and validation cohorts with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82, 95% CI: 0.75 to 0.88, and 0.75, 95% CI: 0.64 to 0.87, respectively. In this study, the predictive value of CRS was better than programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression (AUC of PD-L1 subset: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.50 to 0.69) or clinical model (AUC: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.51 to 0.81). After combining the clinical signature with CRS, the predictive performance improved further with an AUC of 0.837, 0.790 and 0.781 in training, validation and D2 cohorts, respectively. When predicting pathological response, CRS divided patients into a major pathological response (MPR) and non-MPR group (AUC: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67 to 0.81). Moreover, CRS showed a promising stratification ability on overall survival (HR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.27 to 0.89; p=0.020) and progression-free survival (HR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.26 to 0.74; p=0.002). CONCLUSION By analyzing both tumorous and peritumoral regions of CT images in a radiomic strategy, we developed a non-invasive biomarker for distinguishing responders of ICIs therapy and stratifying their survival outcome efficiently, which may support the clinical decisions on the use of ICIs in advanced as well as patients with resectable NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatment is a reference treatment for acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO). However, no established and specific methods are available for the preoperative screening of patients with ABAO suitable for endovascular treatment. This study explores the potential value of DWI-based radiomics in predicting the functional outcomes of endovascular treatment in ABAO. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with ABAO treated with endovascular treatment from the BASILAR registry (91 patients in the training cohort) and the hospitals in the Northwest of China (31 patients for the external testing cohort) were included in this study. The Mann-Whitney U test, random forests algorithm, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were used to reduce the feature dimension. A machine learning model was developed on the basis of the training cohort to predict the prognosis of endovascular treatment. The performance of the model was evaluated on the independent external testing cohort. RESULTS A subset of radiomics features (n = 6) was used to predict the functional outcomes in patients with ABAO. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the radiomics model were 0.870 and 0.781 in the training cohort and testing cohort, respectively. The accuracy of the radiomics model was 77.4%, with a sensitivity of 78.9%, specificity of 75%, positive predictive value of 83.3%, and negative predictive value of 69.2% in the testing cohort. CONCLUSIONS DWI-based radiomics can predict the prognosis of endovascular treatment in patients with ABAO, hence allowing a potentially better selection of patients who are most likely to benefit from this treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the protocol of a multi-vendor, multi-site quantitative MRI study for knee post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), and to present preliminary results of cartilage degeneration using MR T1ρ and T2 imaging 10 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). DESIGN This study involves three sites and two MR platforms. The patients are from a nested cohort (termed as Onsite cohort) within the Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) cohort 10 years after ACLR. Phantoms and controls were scanned for evaluating reproducibility. Cartilage was automatically segmented, and T1ρ and T2 were compared between operated, contralateral, and control knees. RESULTS Sixty-eight ACL-reconstructed patients and 20 healthy controls were included. In phantoms, the intra-site coefficients of variation (CVs) of repeated scans ranged 1.8-2.1% for T1ρ and 1.3-1.7% for T2. The inter-site CVs ranged 1.6-2.1% for T1ρ and 1.1-1.4% for T2. In human subjects, the intra-site scan/rescan CVs ranged 2.2-3.5% for T1ρ and 2.6-4.9% for T2 for the six major compartments. In patients, operated knees showed significantly higher T1ρ and T2 values mainly in medial femoral condyle, medial tibia and trochlear cartilage compared with contralateral knees, and showed significantly higer T1ρ and T2 values in all six compartments compared to healthy control knees. The patient contralateral knees showed higher T1ρ and T2 values mainly in the lateral femoral condyle, lateral tibia, trochlear, and patellar cartilage compared to healthy control knees. CONCLUSION A platform and workflow with rigorous quality control has been established for a multi-vendor multi-site quantitative MRI study in evaluating PTOA 10 years after ACLR. Our preliminary report suggests significant cartilage matrix changes in both operated and contralateral knees compared with healthy control knees.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the characteristics of vertical drop jump (VDJ) for screening athletes at high risk of ACL injury by comparing the kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic variables of different VDJ. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty male soccer players were recruited to measure parameters of knee kinematics, kinetics, and surface electromyograph during VDJ in four kinds of movements measured (the distance between the take-off feet is 5 cm or 30 cm, and the distance between the landing feet is 5 cm or 30 cm) using the Vicon motion capture system, Kistler3-D dynamometer, and Noraxon surface electromyograph test system. RESULTS The peak knee abduction moment was significantly greater for landing feet distance of 30 cm compared to landing feet distance of 5 cm, regardless of whether the distance between take-off feet was 5 cm (0.58 vs. 0.44) or 30 cm (0.61 vs. 0.40); regardless of whether the distance between landing feet was 5 cm (22.78 vs. 20.45) or 30 cm (24.32 vs. 21.87), the peak vertical Ground Reaction Force was significantly increased for the take-off feet distance was 5 cm compared to take-off feet of 30 cm. CONCLUSIONS In the test of VDJ, athletes will adopt different landing strategies for different movement instructions, and the VDJ with the distance of 5 cm between the take-off feet and the distance of 30 cm between the landing feet may be the better maneuver to screen for risk of ACL injury.

Abstract
Materials with super-wetting ability have attracted wide attention from both academia and industry due to their great potential applications. A straightforward and versatile route was proposed for the large-scale synthesis of a monodisperse raspberry-like metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) using zinc nitrate as a zinc source and dimethylimidazole as an organic ligand in aqueous solution. After hydrophobic treatment with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane, the ethanolic suspension of three-dimensional raspberry-like ZIF-8 showed excellent superhydrophobic properties. Furthermore, commercial adhesives were used to blend with the suspension to improve the bonding strength to different substrates. These surfaces retained their water resistance after 50 finger-wipe cycles, 40 sandpaper abrasions and knife scratches. Moreover, the prepared hydrophobic surface can withstand the impact of water flow for 10 minutes. The formulations developed can be used for superhydrophobic coating applications on different substrate surfaces such as aluminum foil, glass, paper and cotton.

Abstract
Background Autophagy, a key regulator of programmed cell death, is critical for maintaining the stability of the intracellular environment. Increasing evidence has revealed the clinical importance of interactions between autophagy and immune status in lung adenocarcinoma. The present study evaluated the potential of autophagy-immune-derived biomarkers to predict prognosis and therapeutic response in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Patients from the GSE72094 dataset were randomized 7:3 to a training set and an internal validation set. Three independent cohorts, TCGA, GSE31210, and GSE37745, were used for external verification. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering based on autophagy- and immune-associated genes was used to identify autophagy- and immune-associated molecular patterns, respectively. Significantly prognostic autophagy-immune genes were identified by LASSO analysis and by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Differences in tumor immune microenvironments, functional pathways, and potential therapeutic responses were investigated to differentiate high-risk and low-risk groups. Results High autophagy status and high immune status were associated with improved overall survival. Autophagy and immune subtypes were merged into a two-dimensional index to characterize the combined prognostic classifier, with 535 genes defined as autophagy-immune-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Four genes (C4BPA, CD300LG, CD96, and S100P) were identified to construct an autophagy-immune-related prognostic risk model. Survival and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses showed that this model was significantly prognostic of survival. Patterns of autophagy and immune genes differed in low- and high-risk patients. Enrichment of most immune infiltrating cells was greater, and the expression of crucial immune checkpoint molecules was higher, in the low-risk group. TIDE and immunotherapy clinical cohort analysis predicted that the low-risk group had more potential responders to immunotherapy. GO, KEGG, and GSEA function analysis identified immune- and autophagy-related pathways. Autophagy inducers were observed in patients in the low-risk group, whereas the high-risk group was sensitive to autophagy inhibitors. The expression of the four genes was assessed in clinical specimens and cell lines. Conclusions The autophagy-immune-based gene signature represents a promising tool for risk stratification in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, guiding individualized targeted therapy or immunotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a preoperative CT-based nomogram combined with radiomic and clinical-radiological signatures to distinguish preinvasive lesions from pulmonary invasive lesions. METHODS This was a retrospective, diagnostic study conducted from August 1, 2018, to May 1, 2020, at three centers. Patients with a solitary pulmonary nodule were enrolled in the GDPH center and were divided into two groups (7:3) randomly: development (n = 149) and internal validation (n = 54). The SYSMH center and the ZSLC Center formed an external validation cohort of 170 patients. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and logistic regression analysis were used to feature signatures and transform them into models. RESULTS The study comprised 373 individuals from three independent centers (female: 225/373, 60.3%; median [IQR] age, 57.0 [48.0-65.0] years). The AUCs for the combined radiomic signature selected from the nodular area and the perinodular area were 0.93, 0.91, and 0.90 in the three cohorts. The nomogram combining the clinical and combined radiomic signatures could accurately predict interstitial invasion in patients with a solitary pulmonary nodule (AUC, 0.94, 0.90, 0.92) in the three cohorts, respectively. The radiomic nomogram outperformed any clinical or radiomic signature in terms of clinical predictive abilities, according to a decision curve analysis and the Akaike information criteria. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that a nomogram constructed by identified clinical-radiological signatures and combined radiomic signatures has the potential to precisely predict pathology invasiveness. KEY POINTS • The radiomic signature from the perinodular area has the potential to predict pathology invasiveness of the solitary pulmonary nodule. • The new radiomic nomogram was useful in clinical decision-making associated with personalized surgical intervention and therapeutic regimen selection in patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the various shapes and record the morphometric data of the glenoid cavity in a Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 501 scapulae, 247 left and 254 right, were analyzed. We classified the shape of the glenoid cavity as type Ⅰ (pear-shaped), type Ⅱ (oval-shaped), type Ⅲ (teardrop-shaped), type Ⅳ (calabash-shaped) or type Ⅴ (inverted comma-shaped). Four defined parameters, the superior-inferior glenoid diameter (AB), upper anterior-posterior glenoid diameter (CD), lower anterior-posterior glenoid diameter (EF) and glenoid index (GI), were measured, and five shapes were classified via three-dimensional reconstruction. RESULTS The mean AB, CD, EF and GI values of the glenoid were 3.51±0.41 cm, 1.95±0.28 cm, 2.60±0.34 cm, and 1.35±0.12 cm, respectively. The AB value of type Ⅱ glenoid cavities was significantly smaller than that of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ glenoid cavities (P<0.05), but the GI value of type Ⅱ glenoid cavities was larger than that of type Ⅲ cavities (P<0.05). The CD value showed a difference between type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ glenoid cavities (P<0.05). For the EF parameter, the values of type Ⅲ glenoid cavities were significantly larger than those of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ glenoid cavities (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Measuring and observing the variety of shapes and sizes of the glenoid cavity in Chinese people is conducive to for better understand its morphological features. This information can also guide surgeons in the design and selection of suitable prostheses for total shoulder arthroplasty in the Chinese population in order to reduce postoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to develop and evaluate preoperative CT-based peritumoral and tumoral radiomic features to predict tumor spread through air space (STAS) status in clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2018 to December 2019, a retrospective diagnostic investigation was done. Patients with pathologically confirmed STAS status (N = 256) were eventually enrolled. The development cohort consisted of 191 patients (74.6%) chosen randomly in a 7:3 ratio, whereas the validation group consisted of 65 patients (25.4%). The performance of models was assessed using receiver operating characteristic analysis, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive values, and positive predictive values. RESULTS The STAS positive status was found in 85 (33.2%) of the 256 patients (female: 53.2%; median [IQR] age: 62.0, [53.0-79.0] years), while the STAS negative status was found in 171 patients (66.8%) (female:50.6%; median [IQR] age: 62.0, [53.0-87.0] years). The combined TRS and PRS-15 mm model had an AUC of 0.854 (95% CI, 0.799-0.909) in the development cohort and 0.870 (95% CI, 0.781-0.958) in the validation cohort, indicating that the tumor radiomic signature (TRS) model and different peritumoral radiomic signature (PRS) models were used to build the optimal gross radiomic signature (GRS) model. The radiomic nomogram achieves superior discriminatory performance than GRS and clinical and radiological signatures (CRS), with an AUC of 0.871 (95% CI, 0.820-0.922) in the development cohort and AUC of 0.869 (95% CI, 0.776-0.961) in the validation cohort. Based on the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and decision curve analysis (DCA), the radiomic nomogram provided greater clinical predictive capacity than clinical or any radiomic signatures alone. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we discovered that peritumoral characteristics were substantially related to STAS status. This study revealed the unit of radiomic signature and clinical signatures may have a better performance in STAS status.

Abstract
Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the regulation of immune response and carcinogenesis, shaping tumor immune microenvironment, which could be utilized in the construction of prognostic signatures for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as supplements. Methods Data of patients with stage I-III NSCLC was downloaded from online databases. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to construct a lncRNA-based prognostic model. Differences in tumor immune microenvironments and pathways were explored for high-risk and low-risk groups, stratified by the model. We explored the potential association between the model and immunotherapy by the tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion algorithm. Results Our study extracted 15 immune-related lncRNAs to construct a prognostic model. Survival analysis suggested better survival probability in low-risk group in training and validation cohorts. The combination of tumor, node, and metastasis staging systems with immune-related lncRNA signatures presented higher prognostic efficacy than tumor, node, and metastasis staging systems. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis showed higher infiltration abundance in the low-risk group, including B cells (p<0.001), activated CD8+ T cells (p<0.01), CD4+ T cells (p<0.001), activated dendritic cells (p<0.01), and CD56+ Natural killer cells (p<0.01). Low-risk patients had significantly higher immune scores and estimated scores from the ESTIMATE algorithm. The predicted proportion of responders to immunotherapy was higher in the low-risk group. Critical pathways in the model were enriched in immune response and cytoskeleton. Conclusions Our immune-related lncRNA model could describe the immune contexture of tumor microenvironments and facilitate clinical therapeutic strategies by improving the prognostic efficacy of traditional tumor staging systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical problem with poor prognosis and high mortality. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of helix B position peptide (HBSP) on ALI and its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57/BL6 male mice were used to construct ALI models by LPS tracheal injection and detect the effect of HBSP on mouse ALI by subcutaneously injecting HBSP. In addition, normal human lung epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) were cultured and stimulated with HBSP. Then, the effects of HBSP on oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in BEAS-2B cells were examined. Finally, the effect of HBSP on the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway was examined, and the mechanism of action of HBSP was verified using the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway inhibitor ML385. RESULTS In vitro, HBSP increased the expression of SOD1/2 and decreased the expression of ERS-related molecules such as CHOP, GRP-78, and caspase-12, indicating that HBSP effectively reduces the level of oxidative stress and ERS in BEAS-2B cells. In addition, HBSP also increased the activity of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and ML385 reduced the protective effect of HBSP on BEAS-2B cells. In vivo, HBSP significantly reduced LPS-induced mouse ALI. W/D and inflammatory factors in the BALF of the mouse lung were significantly reduced and the level of oxidative stress was also reduced. CONCLUSIONS HBSP plays an important role in relieving ALI by activating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which reduces the level of inflammation in lung tissue and oxidative stress and ERS in lung epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liquid biopsy based on 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) signatures of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) originating from tumor cells provides a novel approach for early diagnosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we sought to develop a reliable model using cfDNA 5hmC signatures and protein biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of HCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We carried out genome-wide 5hmC sequencing of cfDNA samples collected from 165 healthy volunteers, 62 liver cirrhosis (LC) patients and 135 HCC patients. A sensitive 5hmC diagnostic model was developed based on 5hmC signatures selected by sparse Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis and cross-validation to define the weighted diagnostic score (wd-score). Then, we combined protein biomarkers with the wd-score to build a more robust score (HCC score) by logistic regression. RESULTS The distribution pattern of differential 5hmC regions could clearly distinguish HCC patients, LC patients and healthy volunteers. The wd-score based on 64 5hmC signatures in cfDNA achieves 93.24% of area under the curve (AUC) to distinguish HCC patients from non-HCC patients, and the HCC score by combing protein biomarkers achieves 92.75% of AUC to distinguish HCC patients from LC patients. Meanwhile, the HCC score showed high capacity for screening high recurrence risk patients after receiving surgical resection, and appeared to be an independent indicator for both relapse-free survival (P = 0.00865) and overall survival (P = 0.000739). Furthermore, the values of the HCC score in patients' longitudinal plasma samples were positively associated with tumor burden dynamics during follow-up. CONCLUSION We have developed and validated a novel non-invasive liquid biopsy strategy for HCC diagnosis, prognosis and surveillance during HCC progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE The KEAP1-NFE2L2 (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1)-Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2)) mutations are associated with resistance to chemotherapy or immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Conversely, it has been reported that NFE2L2 mutations potentiate improved clinical outcome with immunotherapy. However, therapeutic benefits for patients with KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between KEAP1/NFE2L2 and NSCLC prognosis, and to explore whether immunotherapy can improve prognosis in populations with KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The impact of KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations on survival outcomes in NSCLC patients received immunotherapy and chemotherapy was verified in the randomized phase II/III POPLAR/OAK trials (blood-based sequencing, bNGS cohort, POPLAR (n = 211) and OAK (n = 642)). The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) NSCLC cohort (n=998) and an in-house Chinese NSCLC cohort (n=733) was used For the analysis of immune-related markers. RESULTS Compared with KEAP1/NFE2L2 wild-type, patients with KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations were significantly associated with poorer overall survival (OS, HR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.48-2.63, P < 0.001) on atezolizumab and docetaxel (HR = 1.66, 95% CI 1.28-2.16, P < 0.001). In KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutant group, there was no significant difference in median OS between atezolizumab and docetaxel (HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.53-1.03, P = 0.07). NFE2L2/KEAP1 mutations were significantly associated with higher TMB values and PD-L1 expression in the OAK/POPLAR and in-house Chinese NSCLC cohorts. GSEA revealed that KEAP1/NFE2L2mutant subgroup was associated with deficient infiltration of CD4+ T cells, NK T cells and natural Treg cells, and lower expression of DNA damage response genes in TCGA NSCLC cohort. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that patients with KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations have a worse prognosis than wild-type patients, both on immunotherapy and chemotherapy. In addition, in patients with KEAP1/NFE2L2 mutations, immunotherapy did not significantly improve prognosis compared to chemotherapy.

Abstract
Floral traits are recognized to have evolved under selection for abiotic and biotic factors. Complex zygomorphic flowers usually face horizontally. It has been proved that a horizontal orientation facilitates pollinator recognition and pollination efficiency, but its significance in adaptation to abiotic factors remains unknown. The floral orientation of Abelia × grandiflora naturally varies around horizontal (with an angle of -30 to +33° between the floral main axis and the horizontal). We examined whether three different floral orientations affected flower thermal conditions, response to rain and pollination. Results showed that floral orientation had no effect on diurnal variations in flower temperature. The anthers of all three flower orientations were wetted by rainfall, but the inclined upward-facing flowers contained significantly more rainwater. The horizontal flowers received significantly higher visitation by hawkmoths and had a higher stigmatic pollen load. In contrast, the upward flower orientation reduced pollination precision, while downward-facing flowers had decreased pollinator attraction. This study indicates that horizontal flowers may have evolved as a trade-off between rain protection and pollination. Zygomorphic flowers that deviate from a horizontal orientation may have lower fitness because of flower flooding by rainwater and decreased pollen transfer.

Abstract
The cysteinyl aspartate protease (caspase, or CASP) gene family plays a significant role in programmed cell death, inflammation and immunity. However, the correlation between CASP family members and prognosis and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in different tumors has not been determined. We investigated the role of CASP genes in cancer prognosis and their relationship with clinicopathological parameters. We also evaluated the correlation between the expression of CASP family members and cancer immune infiltration and evaluated whether these molecules can be used as targets for immunotherapy. The CASP1/2/4/5/7/9 genes may represent prognostic factors and therapeutic targets for breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. Another finding is that the CASP1/4/5 genes help to regulate innate immunity and T cell immunity and may also have an important effect on tumor checkpoint inhibition. These findings may elucidate the roles played by CASP family members in cancer progression and identify strategies to promote collaborative activities in the context of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background Pregnancy tests can be used for the early diagnosis of fetal problems and can prevent abnormal birth in pregnancies. Yet, testing preferences among Chinese women are poorly investigated. Methods We developed a Discrete Choice Experiment with 5 attributes: test procedure, detection rate, miscarriage rate, time to wait for result, and test cost. By studying the choices that the women make in the hypothetical scenarios and comparing the attributes and levels, we can analyze the women’s preference of prenatal testing in China. Results Ninety-two women completed the study. Respondents considered the test procedure as the most important attribute, followed by detection rate, miscarriage rate, wait time for result, and test cost, respectively. The estimated preference weight for the non-invasive procedure was 0.928 (P < 0.0001). All other attributes being equal, the odds of choosing a non-invasive testing procedure over an invasive one was 2.53 (95% confidence interval, 2.42–2.64; P < 0.001). Participants were willing to pay up to RMB$28,810 (approximately US$4610) for a non-invasive test, RMB$6061(US$970) to reduce the miscarriage rate by 1% and up to RMB$3356 (US$537) to increase the detection rate by 1%. Compared to other DCE (Discrete Choice Experiment) studies regarding Down’s syndrome screening, women in our study place relatively less emphasis on test safety. Conclusions The present study has shown that Chinese women place more emphasis on detection rate than test safety. Chinese women place great preference on noninvasive prenatal testing, which indicate a popular need of incorporating noninvasive prenatal testing into the health insurance coverage in China. This study provided valuable evidence for the decision makers in the Chinese government.

Abstract
Phosphate (Pi) deficiency severely restricts plant growth and development, as Pi is an essential macronutrient. Calcium (Ca2+ ) is a ubiquitous second messenger in plants; calcineurin B-like proteins (CBL) and CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPK) are signalling pathways that act as an important Ca2+ signalling network which integrates plants to fine tune the response to stress; however, whether CIPK are involved in Pi deficiency stress remains largely unknown. In this study, we carried out a reverse genetic strategy to screen T-DNA insertion mutants of CIPK isoforms under Pi deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana. Then Pi content, transcription of phosphate starvation-induced (PSI) genes, acid phosphatase activity and hydrogen peroxide were determined in the wild-type (WT) and cipk1 mutant, respectively. The phenotype of CIPK1 complementation lines was analysed. The cipk1 mutant had a more sensitive phenotype, with lower root elongation and root length, and decreased Pi content compared with the WT under Pi deficiency. Moreover, CIPK1 mutation caused phosphate starvation-induced (PSI) genes to be significantly induced under Pi deficiency. Histological staining demonstrated that the cipk1 mutant had increased acid phosphatase activity and hydrogen peroxide concentration under Pi deficiency. By using the yeast two-hybrid system, we further demonstrated the interaction between CIPK1 and the WRKY transcription factors, WRKY6 and WRKY42. Overall, we demonstrate that CIPK1 is involved in the Pi deficiency signalling pathway in A. thaliana, revealing the important role of Ca2+ in the Pi nutrition signalling pathway, and potentially providing a theoretical foundation for molecular breeding of crops with better Pi utilization efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the Adjuvant Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab (APT) trial has been adopted clinically, single-arm trials have limitations, and interest remains whether these patients with small node-negative human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer (EBC) would benefit from more intensive chemotherapy. This analysis explored whether external controls can contextualize single-arm studies to add to clinical decision making in the use of de-escalated therapy in patients with low-risk HER2-positive EBC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patient-level data from five randomized trials supporting drug approval in adjuvant HER2-positive EBC were pooled, and patients with low-risk EBC were selected (n = 1770). Patients treated concurrently with trastuzumab and either anthracycline/cyclophosphamide/taxane/trastuzumab (ACTH) or taxane/carboplatin/trastuzumab (TCH; n = 1366) were matched (1:1) to patients treated with paclitaxel and trastuzumab (TH) in the APT trial (n = 406) using propensity scores. Patients treated with anthracycline/cyclophosphamide/taxane (ACT; n = 374) were also matched (1:1) to those treated with TH. Propensity scores were estimated using covariates of age, tumor stage, estrogen receptor status, progesterone receptor status, and histological grade. RESULTS After matching, the estimated probabilities of invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) at 3 and 5 years were 98.6% and 96.5% in the TH arm, and 96.6% and 92.9% in the ACTH/TCH arm, respectively. The estimated probabilities of overall survival (OS) at 3 and 5 years were 99.7% and 99.3% in the TH arm, and 99.0% and 97.4% in the ACTH/TCH arm, respectively. Comparing the TH arm with the ACT arm in the matched sample, the estimated difference in iDFS was 7.5% (TH 98.8% and ACT 91.3%) at 3 years and 12.6% (TH 96.1% and ACT 83.5%) at 5 years. The estimated difference in OS was 2.6% (TH 100% and ACT 97.4%) at 3 years, and 5.3% (TH 99.3% and ACT 94.0%) at 5 years. CONCLUSIONS Our analyses suggest that patients' outcomes in both arms were in general similar, thus providing additional reassurance regarding de-escalation of therapy.

Abstract
e21044 Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the combined radiomic model based on tumor-associated and margin-related (5mm) radiomic features can effectively improve prediction performance of distinguishing precancerous lesions from early stage lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: 264 patients underwent preoperative chest CT in Guangdong Provincial People’s hospital from March 1, 2015 to December 31,2019 were sorted by three cohorts. All lesions were pathologically confirmed as precancerous lesions or Stage I lung adenocarcinoma and a total of 861 analyzable radiomic features were extracted from two segmented lesions including pulmonary lesions and margins, using PyRadiomics by two senior radiologists. In training cohort, 145 patients (70%) are selected randomly from the single-nodular patients (N = 207). As for the validation cohorts, the models were validated using the resting 62 patients from single-nodular cohort and multi-nodular cohort (n = 57) respectively. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selector Operation and Support Vector Machine-Recursive Feature Elimination were used for feature selection. ROC analysis and AUC were used to evaluate the performance of three models which were developed by multiple logistic regression on distinguishing the precancerous lesions from early stage lung adenocarcinoma. Results: Selected features from pulmonary lesions and pericarcinous tissue were developed into two independent radiomic models and a combined model. Margin-related radiomic model performs well in three validation cohorts. The AUC Brock of single-nodular cohort in training cohort was 0.912 (95% CI: 0.876-0.948), while in single-nodular validation cohort was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.862-0.966). Multi-nodular validation cohort in this model shows an AUC of 0.891 (95% CI = 0.824–0.943). Comparing combined model and tumor-associated radiomic model, it is found that the AUC of combined model was improved from 0.865 (95% CI: 0.767-0.963) to 0.94 (95% CI: 0.767-0.963) for single-nodular validation cohort. Respectively, this combined model also performs well in multi-nodular validation cohort. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the potential of margin-related radiomic features based on preoperative CT scans to distinguish precancerous lesions from early stage lung adenocarcinoma. The constructed radiomic model provided an easy-to-use, preoperative tool for surgeons to develop accurate therapeutic strategies for multi-nodular patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Targeted therapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is a major breakthrough in cancer treatment in the last decade. ICIs like PD1 or PD-L1 antibodies have been shown to be quite effective in cancer like melanoma. However, in most other tumor types including breast cancer, the situation is not as optimistic. Only a small percentage of those patients respond to ICIs therapy. This highlights the importance of identifying biomarkers to predict which patients may benefit from such treatment. Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) has been shown to be a sensitive marker for ICI treatment. This study is to investigate whether TBM could be used as a biomarker for breast cancer treatment.
Methods: We reviewed next generation sequencing studies of breast cancer. Two such studies with raw data provided were included in our analysis. One study entitled METABRIC performed targeted sequencing of 173 cancer-related genes in around 2500 primary breast cancer tissues. The other study was from TCGA breast cancer project, which performed Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) of around 1000 primary breast cancer samples. Mutation data were downloaded from public data deposit. The number of mutations per sample was calculated. TBM was calculated by divide the coverage in million base pair from that of the total mutation counts.
Results: In METABRIC study, 17272 mutations were identified in 2369 samples, with a median of 7 mutations per sample (95% CI: 6 ˜ 7). The median TMB of METABRIC dataset was 5.8 SNVs/Mb (95% CI: 5 ˜ 5.8). Totally 30 out 2369 (1.3%) samples had a TMB equal or large than 20 SNVs/Mb. In another cohort from TCGA breast cancer study using WES technology, 90172 mutations were identified in 977 samples, with a median of 44 mutations per sample (95% CI: 39 ˜ 50). The median TMB was 1 SNVs/Mb (95% CI: 0.9 ˜ 1.1). Totally 13 out 977 (1.3%) samples had a TMB equal or large than 20 SNVs/Mb.
Conclusions: Breast cancer shows middle to low mutation burden compared to other cancer types. Around 1.3% of breast cancer has quite high TMB of at least 20 SNVs/Mb, which may be qualified for immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy. Our study indicates that TMB may be incorporated as a standard test for late stage breast cancer patients in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: To analysis the occupational exposure to 1-bromopropane on the worker's nerve conduc-tion velocity. Methods: To PubMed, Wanfang, VIP, Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CNKI) and other databases as a data source, searched and screened database to October 2017 on occupational exposure to 1-bromopropane workers on the role of nerve conduction in the paper. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, we screened literatures, extracted data and evaluated the quality of the included studies, using RevMan5.3 software to test the heterogeneity of the results and us-ing the corresponding mathematical model for data combination analysis. Results: A total of 5 articles were included in the literature. The results showed that the tibial nerve MCV of workers in the 1-bromopropane exposure group was slower than that in the control group (SMD=-0.47,95%CI=-0.70~-0.24) , the difference was statistically significant (Z=4.06, P<0.01). The tibial nerve DL of the exposure group was more prolonged than that of the control group (SMD=0.35,95%CI=0.00~0.69) , with a statistically significant difference (Z=1.99, P=0.05). The sural nerve SCV of the exposure group was slower than that of the control group (SMD=-0.47, 95%CI=-0.78~-0.15), with a statistically significant difference (Z=2.88,P<0.01). Conclusion: Occupational exposure to 1-bromopropane may have an effect on the worker's nerve conduction ve-locity.It's necessary to do broader and deeper neurotoxicity studies about 1-bromopropane.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Surgery for gastric cancer may result in free intraperitoneal cancer cells. This study aimed to determine whether laparoscopic gastrectomy with complete mesogastric excision (D2 + CME) reduces the number of free intraperitoneal cancer cells.
Methods
Patients with gastric cancer who had a conventional D2 or D2 + CME laparoscopic distal gastrectomy between April 2015 and February 2017 were included in the study. Intraoperative peritoneal washings were collected before and after tumour resection. Reverse transcriptase–quantitative real-time PCR for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was used to assess the presence of gastric cancer cells.
Results
Eighty-five patients underwent conventional D2 lymphadenectomy and 76 had the D2 + CME procedure. Of 161 peritoneal fluid samples obtained before gastrectomy, 137 (D2, 72; D2 + CME, 65) had low CEA expression indicative of no cancer cells. After gastrectomy, high CEA expression was detected in 23 of the 72 samples (32 per cent) from patients in the D2 group, and in ten of the 65 samples (15 per cent) from the D2 + CME group. In the overall cohort, mean CEA expression level after gastrectomy was lower in the D2 + CME group than in the D2 group (P = 0·0038). In patients with low CEA expression before gastrectomy, disease-free survival in the D2 + CME group was better than that in the D2 group (P = 0·033).
Conclusion
Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with complete mesogastric excision reduces the number of free intraperitoneal cancer cells and is associated with a better disease-free survival than conventional D2 gastrectomy.

Abstract
Abstract
Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that plays pivotal roles in signal transduction and gene transcription during cell fate determination. We found protein methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) to be frequently down-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and its expression to negatively correlate with aggressive cancer features in HCC patients. Silencing of PRMT6 promoted the tumor-initiating, metastasis and therapy resistance potential of HCC cells. Consistently, loss of PRMT6 expression aggravated liver tumorigenesis in a DEN+CCL4 HCC induced PRMT6-/- mouse model. Integrated transcriptome and protein-protein interaction studies revealed an enrichment of genes implicated in RAS signaling and that PRMT6 interacted with CRAF, and likely other RAF family members, and their methylation at conserved arginine 100, negatively regulating its activity, and as a consequence resulting in enhanced MEK/ERK signaling. Our work uncovered a critical repressive function for PRMT6 in maintenance of HCC cells by regulating the MEK/ERK pathway via arginine methylation of RAF, providing a new avenue of molecular mechanism by which ERK mediated stemness in HCC cells are developed.
