Abstract
Ultrasensitive spectroscopy is an essential component in mid-infrared (MIR) technology. However, the drawbacks of MIR detectors pose challenges to robust MIR spectroscopy at the single-photon level. We propose an MIR single-photon frequency upconversion spectroscopy nonlocally mapping the MIR information to the time domain. Broadband MIR photons from spontaneous parametric downconversion are frequency-upconverted to the near-infrared band with quantum correlation preservation. Via the group delay of fiber, the MIR spectral information within a 1.18-micrometer bandwidth of 2.76 to 3.94 micrometers is then successfully projected to arrival times of correlated photon pairs. Under the conditions of 6.4 × 106 photons per second illumination, the transmission spectra of polymers with single-photon sensitivity are demonstrated using single-pixel detectors. The developed approach circumvents scanning and frequency selection instability, which stands out for its inherent compatibility for evolving environments and scalability for various wavelengths. Because of its high sensitivity and robustness, characterization of biochemical samples and weak measurement of quantum systems are possible to foresee.

Abstract
Mid-infrared hyperspectral imaging has become an indispensable tool to spatially resolve chemical information in a wide variety of samples. However, acquiring three-dimensional data cubes is typically time-consuming due to the limited speed of raster scanning or wavelength tuning, which impedes real-time visualization with high spatial definition across broad spectral bands. Here, we devise and implement a high-speed, wide-field mid-infrared hyperspectral imaging system relying on broadband parametric upconversion of high-brightness supercontinuum illumination at the Fourier plane. The upconverted replica is spectrally decomposed by a rapid acousto-optic tunable filter, which records high-definition monochromatic images at a frame rate of 10 kHz based on a megapixel silicon camera. Consequently, the hyperspectral imager allows us to acquire 100 spectral bands over 2600-4085 cm-1 in 10 ms, corresponding to a refreshing rate of 100 Hz. Moreover, the angular dependence of phase matching in the image upconversion is leveraged to realize snapshot operation with spatial multiplexing for multiple spectral channels, which may further boost the spectral imaging rate. The high acquisition rate, wide-field operation, and broadband spectral coverage could open new possibilities for high-throughput characterization of transient processes in material and life sciences.

Abstract
Centrifugation is one of the most commonly used methods for separation in biology and chemistry. However, effective fractionation is not always easy to obtain, as preparative centrifuge experiments are mostly conducted in an empirical way, even when it is guided by the quantitative results from analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC). Very few works have been performed to enhance the fractionation resolution of the differential centrifugation method in a swing-out rotor. This is primarily due to the absence of a characterization tool for sedimentation in the preparative centrifuge. In this study, we utilized image analysis to map the particle concentration distribution throughout the preparative centrifuge tube, revealing an unexpected and abnormal sedimentation process. By characterizing the sedimentation coefficient distributions of the fractionated product via AUC, we demonstrated that the overall sedimentation efficiency in a swing-out preparative centrifuge was significantly reduced. Furthermore, effective fractionation was confined to the intermediate phase of the entire sedimentation process. We propose that the mechanism here is a combination of the inverse Boycott effect and droplet sedimentation. The actual sedimentation process within a preparative centrifuge can be described by modifying the Lamm equation phenomenologically, which simply results in an effective sedimentation coefficient. Our work builds a foundation for determining the optimal preparative centrifugation conditions for various systems.

Abstract
Importance Evidence of effectiveness of advance care planning (ACP) strategies for patients receiving dialysis and their families is needed. Objectives To test the effectiveness of an ACP intervention to prepare patients and their surrogates for end-of-life (EOL) decision-making and to improve surrogate bereavement outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants This cluster randomized clinical trial, An Effectiveness-Implementation Trial of SPIRIT (Sharing Patients' Illness Representations to Increase Trust) in ESRD, was conducted from December 2017 to March 2023 and included 42 dialysis clinics in 5 US states (Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) randomized to provide intervention or usual care. Recruitment was from February 15, 2018, to January 31, 2022, and patient-surrogate dyads were followed up for 21 months (until January 17, 2023) or until patient death. Intervention Each clinic selected 1 or 2 health care workers (eg, nurse practitioner, registered nurse, or social worker) to conduct 45- to 60-minute ACP discussions with dyads in the clinic or remotely. After March 13, 2020 (commencement of the COVID-19 emergency declaration), all discussions were conducted remotely. An ACP summary was placed in patients' medical records. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary, 2-week preparedness outcomes were dyad congruence on EOL goals of care, patient decisional conflict, surrogate decision-making confidence, and a composite of dyad congruence and surrogate decision-making confidence. Secondary bereavement outcomes were anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic distress 3 months after patient death. To adjust for COVID-19 pandemic effects on bereavement outcomes, a variable to indicate the timing of baseline and 3-month assessment relative to the COVID-19 emergency declaration was created. Results Of the 426 dyads enrolled, 231 were in the intervention clinics, and 195 were in the control clinics. Among all dyads, the mean (SD) patient age was 61.9 (12.7) years, and the mean (SD) surrogate age was 53.7 (15.4) years. At 2 weeks, after adjusting for baseline values, dyad congruence (odds ratio [OR], 1.61; 95% CI, 1.12-2.31; P = .001), decisional conflict scores (β, -0.10; 95% CI, -0.13 to -0.07; P < .001), and the composite (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.06-2.34; P = .03) were higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Surrogate decision-making confidence was similar between groups (β, 0.06; 95% CI, -0.01 to 0.13; P = .12). Among 77 bereaved surrogates, after adjusting for baseline values and assessment timing, intervention group anxiety was lower than control group anxiety (β, -1.55; 95% CI, -3.08 to -0.01; P = .05); however, depression (β, -0.18; 95% CI, -2.09 to 1.73; P = .84) and posttraumatic distress (β, -0.96; 95% CI, -7.39 to 5.46; P = .75) were similar. Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial, the ACP intervention implemented by health care workers at dialysis centers improved preparation for EOL decision-making but showed mixed effectiveness on bereavement outcomes. The ACP intervention implemented in dialysis centers may be an effective strategy to the dyad preparation for end-of-life care as opposed to the current focus on advance directives.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Due to the increased demand for palliative care (PC) in recent years, a model has been proposed to divide PC into primary PC and specialist PC. This article aimed to delineate the indications for primary and specialist PC within 2 common neurosurgical conditions-glioblastoma (GBM) and stroke. METHODS A systematic review and bibliometric analysis was conducted to better appreciate the practice trends in PC utilization for GBM and stroke patients using several databases. RESULTS There were 70 studies on PC for GBM, the majority of which related to patient preference (22 [31%]). During 1999-2022, there was significant growth in publications per year on this topic at a rate of approximately 0.3 publications per year (P < 0.01). There were 44 studies on PC for stroke, the majority of which related to communication strategies (14 [32%]). During 1999-2022, there was no significant growth in stroke publications per year (P = 0.22). CONCLUSIONS Due to the progressively disabling neurological course of GBM, we suggest that a specialty PC team be used in conjunction with the neurosurgical team early in the disease trajectory while patients are still able to communicate their preferences, goals, and values. In contrast, short-term and long-term stages of management of stroke have differing implications for PC needs, with the short-term stage necessitating adept, time-sensitive communication between the patient, family, and care teams. Thus, we propose that primary PC should be included as a core competency in neurosurgery training, among other stroke specialists.

Abstract
A large number of studies have reported that sensory gating disorders represented by P50 inhibition may be involved in the pathophysiological process of schizophrenia. However, few studies have explored the relationship between sensory gating disorders and cognitive dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia. This study aimed to explore sex differences in the relationship between cognitive and P50 deficits in patients with chronic schizophrenia, which has not been reported. A total of 183 chronic schizophrenia patients (128 males and 55 females) and 166 healthy controls (76 males and 90 females) participated in this study. The MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) was measured for cognitive function and P50 components for the sensory gating in all participants. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scales (PANSS) was used to assess the psychopathological symptoms in patients. Female patients performed significantly better than male patients in several cognitive domains of MCCB (all p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in P50 components between male and female patients (all p > 0.05). Further analysis showed that in female patients, latency of S2 was negatively correlated with reasoning and problem-solving domain of MCCB (p < 0.05), and P50 ratio was negatively correlated with social cognition domain of MCCB (p < 0.05). In male patients, there was no any correlation between P50 and cognitive domains of MCCB. Our results suggest that there is a sex difference in the association between P50 deficiency and cognitive impairment in Chinese Han patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
The discovery and utilization of natural products derived from endophytic microorganisms have garnered significant attention in pharmaceutical research. While remarkable progress has been made in this field each year, the absence of dedicated open-access databases for endophytic microorganism natural products research is evident. To address the increasing demand for mining and sharing of data resources related to endophytic microorganism natural products, this study introduces EMNPD, a comprehensive endophytic microorganism natural products database comprising manually curated data. Currently, EMNPD offers 6632 natural products from 1017 endophytic microorganisms, targeting 1286 entities (including 94 proteins, 282 cell lines, and 910 species) with 91 diverse bioactivities. It encompasses the physico-chemical properties of natural products, ADMET information, quantitative activity data with their potency, natural products contents with diverse fermentation conditions, systematic taxonomy, and links to various well-established databases. EMNPD aims to function as an open-access knowledge repository for the study of endophytic microorganisms and their natural products, thereby facilitating drug discovery research and exploration of bioactive substances. The database can be accessed at http://emnpd.idrblab.cn/ without the need for registration, enabling researchers to freely download the data. EMNPD is expected to become a valuable resource in the field of endophytic microorganism natural products and contribute to future drug development endeavors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between tea and coffee consumption and mortality among patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains barely explored. Herein, this study aimed to examine the association between tea and coffee consumption and the likelihood of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in patients with MetS. METHODS A total of 118,872 participants with MetS at baseline from the UK Biobank cohort were included. Information on tea and coffee consumption was obtained during recruitment using a touchscreen questionnaire. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for mortality were determined using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 13.87 years, 13,666 deaths were recorded, with 5913, 3362, and 994 deaths from cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and respiratory disease (RD), respectively. This research showed a significant inverse association between tea intake and the risk of all-cause and cancer mortality, the respective HRs (95% CI) for consuming tea 2 vs. 0 cup/day were 0.89 (0.84-0.95), and 0.91 (0.83-0.99), and tea intake ≥ 4 cups/day could reduce CVD mortality by 11% (HR 0.89; 95% CI 0.81-0.98). The U-shaped nonlinear association between coffee intake and all-cause/CVD mortality was examined (all p-nonlinear < 0.001). The HRs (95% CI) for coffee consumption 1 vs. 0 cup/day were 0.93 (0.89-0.98) and 0.89 (0.80-0.99), and for ≥ 4 vs. 0 cup/day were 1.05 (1.01-1.11) and 1.13 (1.03-1.25), respectively. Notably, the combined intake of tea and coffee presented a protective effect against all-cause mortality (HR < 1). CONCLUSIONS The importance of daily tea and moderate coffee consumption in individuals with MetS to optimise health benefits are highlighted.

Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between vitamin D levels and cancer incidence and mortality in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains poorly explored. Herein, we aimed to determine the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and the risk of 16 cancer incidence types and cancer/all-cause mortality in patients with MetS. METHODS We enrolled 97,621 participants with MetS at recruitment from the UK Biobank cohort. The exposure factor was baseline serum 25(OH)D concentrations. The associations were examined using Cox proportional hazards models, which were displayed as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Over a median follow-up period of 10.92 years for cancer incidence outcomes, 12,137 new cancer cases were recorded. We observed that 25(OH)D concentrations were inversely related to the risk of colon, lung, and kidney cancer, and HRs (95% CI) for 25(OH)D ≥ 75.0 vs. < 25.0 nmol/L were 0.67 (0.45-0.98), 0.64 (0.45-0.91), and 0.54 (0.31-0.95), respectively. The fully adjusted model revealed a null correlation between 25(OH)D and the incidence of stomach, rectum, liver, pancreas, breast, ovary, bladder, brain, multiple myeloma, leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, esophagus, and corpus uteri cancer. Over a median follow-up period of 12.72 years for mortality outcomes, 8286 fatalities (including 3210 cancer mortalities) were documented. An "L-shaped" nonlinear dose-response correlation was detected between 25(OH)D and cancer/all-cause mortality; the respective HRs (95% CI) were 0.75 (0.64-0.89) and 0.65 (0.58-0.72). CONCLUSION These findings emphasize the importance of 25(OH)D in cancer prevention and longevity promotion among patients with MetS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal was to characterize short-term kidney status and describe variation in early care utilization in a multicenter cohort of patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and nephritis. METHODS We analyzed previously collected prospective data from North American patients with cSLE with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry from March 2017 through December 2019. We determined the proportion of patients with abnormal kidney status at the most recent registry visit and applied generalized linear mixed models to identify associated factors. We also calculated frequency of medication use, both during induction and ever recorded. RESULTS We identified 222 patients with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis, with 64% class III/IV nephritis on initial biopsy. At the most recent registry visit at median (interquartile range) of 17 (8-29) months from initial kidney biopsy, 58 of 106 patients (55%) with available data had abnormal kidney status. This finding was associated with male sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.88, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.21-12.46) and age at cSLE diagnosis (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.49). Patients with class IV nephritis were more likely than class III to receive cyclophosphamide and rituximab during induction. There was substantial variation in mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab ever use patterns across rheumatology centers. CONCLUSION In this cohort with predominately class III/IV nephritis, male sex and older age at cSLE diagnosis were associated with abnormal short-term kidney status. We also observed substantial variation in contemporary medication use for pediatric lupus nephritis between pediatric rheumatology centers. Additional studies are needed to better understand the impact of this variation on long-term kidney outcomes.

Abstract
Active mid-infrared (MIR) imagers capable of retrieving three-dimensional (3D) structure and reflectivity information are highly attractive in a wide range of biomedical and industrial applications. However, infrared 3D imaging at low-light levels is still challenging due to the deficiency of sensitive and fast MIR sensors. Here we propose and implement a MIR time-of-flight imaging system that operates at single-photon sensitivity and femtosecond timing resolution. Specifically, back-scattered infrared photons from a scene are optically gated by delay-controlled ultrashort pump pulses through nonlinear frequency upconversion. The upconverted images with time stamps are then recorded by a silicon camera to facilitate the 3D reconstruction with high lateral and depth resolutions. Moreover, an effective numerical denoiser based on spatiotemporal correlation allows us to reveal the object profile and reflectivity under photon-starving conditions with a detected flux below 0.05 photons/pixel/second. The presented MIR 3D imager features high detection sensitivity, precise timing resolution, and wide-field operation, which may open new possibilities in life and material sciences.

Abstract
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a cerebral small vessel disease that results from mutations in NOTCH3. How mutations in NOTCH3 ultimately result in disease is not clear, though there is a predilection for mutations to alter the number of cysteines of the gene product, supporting a model in which alterations of conserved disulfide bonds of NOTCH3 drives the disease process. We have found that recombinant proteins with CADASIL NOTCH3 EGF-domains 1-3 fused to the C-terminus of Fc are distinguished from wildtype proteins by slowed mobility in non-reducing gels. We use this gel mobility shift assay to define the effects of mutations in the first three EGF-like domains of NOTCH3 in 167 unique recombinant protein constructs. This assay permits a readout on NOTCH3 protein mobility that indicates that: 1) Any loss of cysteine mutation in the first three EGF motifs results in structural abnormalities; 2) For loss of cysteine mutants, the mutant amino acid residue plays a minimal role; 3) The majority of changes that result in a new cysteine are poorly tolerated; 4) At residue 75, cysteine, proline, and glycine, but no other amino acids, induce structural shifts; 5) Specific second mutations in conserved cysteines suppress the impact of loss of cysteine CADASIL mutations. In sum, these studies support the importance of NOTCH3 cysteines and disulfide bonds in maintaining normal protein structure. Moreover, double mutant analysis suggests that suppression of protein abnormalities can be achieved through modification of cysteine reactivity, a potential therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Incomplete coverage by cancer registries can lead to an underreporting of cancers and a resulting bias in risk estimates. When registries are defined by geographic region, gaps in observation can arise for individuals who reside outside of or migrate from the total registry catchment area. Moreover, the exact periods of non-observation for an individual may be unknown due to intermittent reporting of residential histories. The motivating example for this work is the U.S. Radiologic Technologist (USRT) study which ascertained cancer outcomes for a national cohort through 43 state/regional registries; similar gaps in outcome ascertainment can appear in other registry or electronic health record- based cohort studies. We propose a two-step procedure for estimating relative and absolute risk in these settings. First, using a mover stayer model fitted to individuals' known residential history, we obtain individual posterior probabilities of residing outside the registry catchment area each year. Second, we incorporate these probabilities in the survival data likelihood for competing risks to account for unobserved events. We assess the performance of the proposed method in extensive simulation studies. Compared to several simple alternative approaches, the proposed method reduces bias and improves efficiency. Finally, we apply the proposed method to a study of first primary lung cancers in the USRT cohort.

Abstract
Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) can promote cancer progression and treatment failure, but the complexity of the regulatory programs and contextual factors involved complicates its study. To understand the specific contribution of ITH to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response, we generated single cell-derived clonal sublines from an ICB-sensitive and genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous mouse melanoma model, M4. Genomic and single cell transcriptomic analyses uncovered the diversity of the sublines and evidenced their plasticity. Moreover, a wide range of tumor growth kinetics were observed in vivo , in part associated with mutational profiles and dependent on T cell-response. Further inquiry into melanoma differentiation states and tumor microenvironment (TME) subtypes of untreated tumors from the clonal sublines demonstrated correlations between highly inflamed and differentiated phenotypes with the response to anti-CTLA-4 treatment. Our results demonstrate that M4 sublines generate intratumoral heterogeneity at both levels of intrinsic differentiation status and extrinsic TME profiles, thereby impacting tumor evolution during therapeutic treatment. These clonal sublines proved to be a valuable resource to study the complex determinants of response to ICB, and specifically the role of melanoma plasticity in immune evasion mechanisms.

Abstract
The successful employment of morphogenic regulator genes, Zm-Baby Boom (ZmBbm) and Zm-Wuschel2 (ZmWus2), for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) has been reported to improve transformation by inducing rapid somatic embryo formation. Here, we report two morphogenic gene-mediated wheat transformation methods, either with or without morphogenic and marker gene excision. These methods yield independent-transformation efficiency up to 58% and 75%, respectively. In both cases, the tissue culture duration for generating transgenic plants was significantly reduced from 80 to nearly 50 days. In addition, the transformation process was significantly simplified to make the procedure less labor-intensive, higher-throughput, and more cost-effective by eliminating the requirement for embryonic axis excision, bypassing the necessity for prolonged dual-selection steps for callus formation, and obviating the prerequisite of cytokinin for shoot regeneration. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the flexibility of the methods and generated high-quality transgenic events across multiple genotypes using herbicide (phosphinothricin, ethametsulfuron)- and antibiotic (G418)-based selections.

Abstract
Single-photon emitters (SPEs) are attractive as integrated platforms for quantum applications in technologically mature wide-bandgap semiconductors since their stable operation at room temperature or even at high temperatures. In this study, we systematically studied the temperature dependence of the SPE in AlGaN micropillar by experiment. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, PL intensity, radiative lifetime and second-order autocorrelation function measurements are investigated over the temperature range from 303 to 373 K. The point defects of AlGaN show strong zero phonon line in the wavelength range of 800-900 nm and highly antibunched photon emission even up to 373 K. Our study reveals a possible mechanism for linewidth broadening in AlGaN SPE at high temperatures. This indicates a possible key for on-chip integration applications based on this material operating at high temperatures.

Abstract
Radical species and electric fields produced by gas plasmas are increasingly used in dermatology. Plasma-poration is the key basis for the efficient plasma skin treatment, which involves the plasma electric field, the directional motion of charged particles, and the transport of reactive particles. However, the enabling mechanisms of the plasma-poration remain unclear and require urgent attention. Here, the plasma-induced electric fields in each skin layer are accurately measured for the first time. The maximum electric field in the stratum corneum is 43 kV/cm, while the electric field in the active epidermis and dermis is about 1.8 kV/cm. This electric field strength is in the range of strength required for electroporation. Different from traditional electroporation treatments, the plasma-poration mainly relies on the effects of strong electric fields and the conductive current. The active power of the plasma-poration up to 18.5 kW/cm3 in the stratum corneum can rapidly change the structure of the skin. At the same time, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species also pass through the stratum corneum and effectively interact with the skin tissue. The plasma-poration does not cause any pain, which is an inevitable side effect of common electroporation.

Abstract
Transformation in grass species has traditionally relied on immature embryos and has therefore been limited to a few major Poaceae crops. Other transformation explants, including leaf tissue, have been explored but with low success rates, which is one of the major factors hindering the broad application of genome editing for crop improvement. Recently, leaf transformation using morphogenic genes Wuschel2 (Wus2) and Babyboom (Bbm) has been successfully used for Cas9-mediated mutagenesis, but complex genome editing applications, requiring large numbers of regenerated plants to be screened, remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that enhanced Wus2/Bbm expression substantially improves leaf transformation in maize and sorghum, allowing the recovery of plants with Cas9-mediated gene dropouts and targeted gene insertion. Moreover, using a maize-optimized Wus2/Bbm construct, embryogenic callus and regenerated plantlets were successfully produced in eight species spanning four grass subfamilies, suggesting that this may lead to a universal family-wide method for transformation and genome editing across the Poaceae.

Abstract
Point defects in wide bandgap III-nitride semiconductors have been recently reported to be one kind of the most promising near-infrared (NIR) quantum emitters operating at room temperature (RT). But the identification of the point defect species and the energy level structures as well as the transition dynamics remain unclear. Here, the photophysical properties of single-photon emission from point defects in AlGaN films are investigated in detail. According to the first-principles calculations, a three-level model was established to explain the transition dynamics of the quantum emitters. An anti-site nitrogen vacancy complex (VNNGa) was demonstrated to be the most likely origin of the measured emitter since the calculated zero-phonon line (ZPL) and the lifetime of VNNGa in the AlGaN film coincide well with the experimental results. Our results provide new insights into the optical properties and energy level structures of quantum emission from point defects in AlGaN films at RT and establish the foundation for future AlGaN-based on-chip quantum technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who achieve a drug free remission often experience a flare of their disease requiring either intraarticular steroids (IAS) or systemic treatment with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). IAS offer an opportunity to recapture disease control and avoid exposure to side effects from systemic immunosuppression. We examined a cohort of patients treated with IAS after drug free remission and report the probability of restarting systemic treatment within 12 months. METHODS We analyzed a cohort of patients from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry who received IAS for a flare after a period of drug free remission. Historical factors and clinical characteristics and of the patients including data obtained at the time of treatment were analyzed. RESULTS We identified 46 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Of those with follow up data available 49% had restarted systemic treatment 6 months after IAS injection and 70% had restarted systemic treatment at 12 months. The proportion of patients with prior use of a biologic DMARD was the only factor that differed between patients who restarted systemic treatment those who did not, both at 6 months (79% vs 35%, p < 0.01) and 12 months (81% vs 33%, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION While IAS are an option for all patients who flare after drug free remission, it may not prevent the need to restart systemic treatment. Prior use of a biologic DMARD may predict lack of success for IAS. Those who previously received methotrexate only, on the other hand, are excellent candidates for IAS.

Abstract
Abstract
The five-year survival rate of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is currently 11% [CP1] and by 2030 PDAC is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer related death. Understanding PDAC initiation and maintenance is important for the advancement of treatment. Mouse models allow us to study the mechanisms of PDAC initiation and progression. The most common genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) of PDAC utilizes a knock-in of Cre recombinase [FB2] into the pancreatic transcription factor 1a (Ptf1a)locus to drive pancreas specific oncogenic KRAS expression. Alternative GEMMs express Cre recombinase from the Mist1/Bhlha15 locus (Mist1-CreER) or from elastase enzyme promoter-driven constructs (Ela-CreER). How these models differ in their ability to promote neoplasia is unknown. We hypothesized that differences in GEMMs may provide insight into mechanisms of PDAC initiation and progression. Here, we compare the tamoxifen-inducible Ptf1a-CreER, [FB3] Mist1-CreER and Ela-CreER models in their response to oncogenic KRAS expression. KRASG12D was induced with tamoxifen gavage 6-8 weeks postpartum and caerulein was used to induce pancreatitis. Histological analyses (H&E and IHC for amylase, cytokeratin 19, Fos and Jun) were performed on fixed tissue to assess associated phenotypic changes. Tissues from Ptf1a-CreER, Mist1-CreER and Ela-CreER mice were harvested 3 weeks after tamoxifen administration and processed for RNA sequencing. Phenotypically, in the presence of oncogenic KRAS and after pancreatitis induction, Ptf1a-CreER pancreata exhibited extensive tissue remodeling - acinar to ductal metaplasia (ADM) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) - with a dense fibroinflammatory response in contrast to both Mist1-CreER and Ela-CreER pancreata. Mist1-CreER and Ela-CreER pancreata had much more variable penetrance with tissues often showing little to no ADM and PanINs despite oncogenic KRAS expression and prior pancreatitis. At the gene expression level, Mist1-CreER pancreata showed fewer differentially expressed genes when compared to wild type tissue than Ptf1a-CreER under the same conditions. In total, less than 70 differentially expressed genes were common between the two models. Members of the AP-1 transcriptional complex (fos and c-jun) previously implicated in neoplastic progression were specifically increased only in Ptf1a-CreER mice.[FB4] Taken together, our histological, and transcriptional data indicates mice lacking one copy of Ptf1a (Ptf1a-CreER) undergo more dramatic histological changes after pancreatitis injury and oncogenic KRAS induction when compared to the GEMMs with both copies of Ptf1a intact. Additionally, mice in the Ptf1a-CreER group show a more marked molecular response to oncogenic KRAS induction, suggesting the absence of a single copy of the acinar fate transcription factor Ptf1a disrupted pancreatic homeostasis and poised it for transformation. Further comparison of PDAC GEMMs will yield clearer insight into mechanisms of PDAC initiation and progression.

Abstract
Background Genetic factors increase the individual risk of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the extent to which a healthy lifestyle can offset increased genetic risk is unknown. This study investigated whether a healthy lifestyle is associated with lower CRC risk, regardless of genetic risk. Methods We recruited 390,365 participants without cancer at baseline (2006-2010) from the UK Biobank. The primary outcome was CRC incidence. A healthy lifestyle score constructed using 16 factors of six dimensions (smoking, drinking, body mass index, diet, exercise, and sleep) was categorized into three risk categories: favorable, intermediate, and unfavorable. To calculate the polygenic risk scores (PRSs) of UK Biobank participants, we extracted 454,678 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the UK Biobank and FinnGen Biobank after quality control. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to evaluate the associations and was expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results During a median follow-up of 10.90 years, 4,090 new CRC cases were reported in the UK Biobank. The "best-fit" PRSs were constructed using 59 SNPs based on the UK Biobank cohort and FinnGen genome-wide association study summary data (R2 = 0.23%) and were divided into low (lowest quintile), intermediate (including second-fourth quintile), and high (highest quintile) genetic risk categories. The multivariate-adjusted Cox model revealed that participants with favorable lifestyles had HRs of 0.66 (95% CI = 0.60-0.72) for developing CRC vs. those with unfavorable lifestyles; low genetic risk was associated with a decreased risk of CRC (HR = 0.67, 95% CI =0.61-0.74) compared with those with high genetic risk. The HRs for low genetic risk participants with favorable lifestyles were 0.44 (95% CI =0.36-0.55) vs. participants with high genetic risk and unfavorable lifestyles. Among the participants with low, intermediate, or high genetic risk, the HRs of favorable vs. unfavorable lifestyles were 0.74, 0.64, and 0.72 (all p< 0.05). Conclusions Low genetic risk and a favorable lifestyle were significantly associated with a decreased risk of CRC. A favorable lifestyle was associated with a lower CRC risk, regardless of genetic risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the associations of sleep duration (SPD) and noise exposure with hearing loss (HL) among Chinese and American adults. DESIGN Two cross-sectional studies. SETTING The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2012), and Zhejiang Chinese participants between 1 January 2018 and 1 November 2021. PARTICIPANTS 3322 adults from the USA and 4452 adults from Zhejiang, China. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES HL was defined as a pure-tone average >20 dB in the better ear at low frequency (500, 1000 and 2000 Hz), speech frequency (500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz) or high frequency (3000, 4000, 6000 and 8000 Hz). Binary logistic regression analysis quantified the associations between SPD, noise exposure (at work or off-work) and HL. RESULTS SPD ≥8 hours/night had an OR of 0.71 (95% CI 0.59 to 0.84) for high-frequency HL vs. an SPD of 6-8 hours/night among the Chinese participants but had an OR of 1.28 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.58) among American participants. Noise exposure (both at work and off-work) was associated with poorer low-frequency (OR 1.58, 1.43; p<0.05), speech-frequency (OR 1.63, 1.29; p<0.05) and high-frequency (OR 1.37, 1.23; p<0.05) hearing among the Chinese participants; and it was associated with worse high-frequency hearing (OR 1.43, 1.66; p<0.05) among the American participants. The negative relationship between SPD ≥8 hours/night and HL was mainly observed in the Chinese participants with noise exposure (OR <1, p<0.05), and SPD ≥8 hours/night associated with poorer HF hearing was only identified in the American participants without noise exposure (OR >1, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Noise exposure was associated with poorer hearing. SPD ≥8 hours/night was negatively associated with HL in the Chinese participants especially when exposed to noise. SPD ≥8 hours/night was related to poorer high-frequency hearing in the American participants when they had no noise exposure.

Abstract
Depression has been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) in observational studies. However, the causality of depression on CRC risk remained unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the potential causal association between genetic variants related to depression and the risk of CRC using Mendelian randomization (MR). Two-sample MR analysis using summary data was performed to examine whether depression was causally associated with CRC risk. We used 2 sets of instrumental variables (IV) from the genome-wide association study results for analysis. A set of IV related to major depressive disorder contain 44 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Another set of IV was related to major depression, including 53 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Summary data of CRC was from the FinnGen consortium. Based on the results of MR using inverse-variance weighted method, we found that genetically determined major depressive disorder (odds ratio = 1.06, 95% confidence interval = 0.77-1.45) or major depression (odds ratio = 0.77, 95% confidence interval = 0.57-1.04) did not causally increase CRC risk. The results of MR-Egger and the weighted median method are consistent with the inverse-variance weighted method. The two-sample MR analysis showed that depression is not causally associated with CRC risk. Further research is needed to investigate the association between depression and CRC.

Abstract
Purpose We conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to determine whether genetically predicted basal metabolic rate (BMR) was a causal risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) or whether a genetically predicted CRC risk can influence the BMR level (i.e., reverse causation). Methods We employed 1,040 genetic variants as proxies for BMR to obtain effect estimates on CRC risk. Another 58 CRC-associated variants were used to estimate effects on BMR levels. Stratified analysis by tumor site was used to examine the causal associations between BMR and colon/rectal cancer risk. Results The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method indicated a significant causal effect of genetically determined BMR on CRC risk (ORSD = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.07–1.51). No significant reverse causal association was identified between genetically increased CRC risk and BMR levels [IVW (β = 0, 95% CI = -0.01 to 0)]. The results of MR-Egger and the weighted median method were consistent with the IVW method. Stratified analysis by CRC sites identified significant causal associations between BMR and colon cancer [IVW (ORSD = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.16-1-80)], and null evidence of a causal association between BMR and rectal cancer risk was found (p > 0.05). Conclusion Our findings add to the current literature by validating a positive relationship between high BMR levels and CRC risk instead of reverse causality. The genetically predicted BMR level was causally associated with colon cancer risk but not rectal cancer risk.

Abstract
This study investigated the association between a healthy lifestyle with all-cause, cause-specific mortality, and cancer incidence among individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Healthy lifestyle scores were created based on MetS management guidelines, including never/quitting smoking, moderate drinking, good sleep, healthy diet, sufficient exercise, social support, and less sedentary behaviour. Weighted healthy lifestyle scores were further constructed and classified into three groups: unfavourable (lowest quintile), intermediate (quintiles 2−4), and favourable (highest quintile) lifestyles. We included 87,342 MetS participants from the UK Biobank. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression. During a median follow-up of 12.54 years, 6739 deaths were reported; during a median follow-up of 10.69 years, 10,802 new cancer cases were documented. We found a favourable lifestyle was inversely associated with all-cause mortality (HR: 0.57; 95%CI: 0.53−0.62), cause-specific mortality from respiratory disease, cancer, digestive disease, cardiovascular disease (HR < 1; p-trend < 0.001), and overall cancer incidence (HR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.79−0.90). Our results indicate that adherence to healthy lifestyles is associated with lower overall cancer incidence and all-cause mortality risk among MetS individuals. However, causality cannot be made due to the nature of observational studies.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the association of dietary habits with the risk of overweight/obesity among middle-and-old-aged Chongqing residents and also to examine the joint effects of behavioral lifestyles, dietary habits, and overweight/obesity. In this case-control study, age (±3 years), sex, and time of physical exercise matched 979 overweight/obesity residents, and 979 normal weight residents were recruited. A validated questionnaire was used to collect participants' information. Conditional logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs of dietary habits and lifestyles associated with overweight/obesity risk. Overweight/obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 24 kg·m-2, and normal weight was defined as 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24 kg·m-2. The multivariate-adjusted models showed the weekly intake frequency of fruits 0-1 (day/week) (OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.04-3.10), and legumes 0-1 (day/week) (OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.28-4.67), as well as the weekly intake percentage of vegetables ≥ 15% (OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.04-5.71) were associated with a higher risk of overweight/obesity. Besides, there were joint effects of lifestyles (smoking or drinking) and dietary habits on overweight/obesity risk (P for interaction < 0.05). The consumption of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and the joint effects of behavioral habits (smoking or drinking) may modify the risk of being overweight/obese. It is essential to consume fruits and legumes at least 2 days/week, quit smoking, and stop consuming alcohol to avoid overweight/obesity among middle-aged and elderly people in Chongqing, China.

Abstract
PURPOSE Around 5% of United States (U.S.) population identifies as Sexual and Gender Diverse (SGD), yet there is limited research around cancer prevention among these populations. We present multi-pronged, low-cost, and systematic recruitment strategies used to reach SGD communities in New Mexico (NM), a state that is both largely rural and racially/ethnically classified as a "majority-minority" state. METHODS Our recruitment focused on using: (1) Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) program, by the United States Postal Services (USPS); (2) Google and Facebook advertisements; (3) Organizational outreach via emails to publicly available SGD-friendly business contacts; (4) Personal outreach via flyers at clinical and community settings across NM. Guided by previous research, we provide detailed descriptions on using strategies to check for fraudulent and suspicious online responses, that ensure data integrity. RESULTS A total of 27,369 flyers were distributed through the EDDM program and 436,177 impressions were made through the Google and Facebook ads. We received a total of 6,920 responses on the eligibility survey. For the 5,037 eligible respondents, we received 3,120 (61.9%) complete responses. Of these, 13% (406/3120) were fraudulent/suspicious based on research-informed criteria and were removed. Final analysis included 2,534 respondents, of which the majority (59.9%) reported hearing about the study from social media. Of the respondents, 49.5% were between 31-40 years, 39.5% were Black, Hispanic, or American Indian/Alaskan Native, and 45.9% had an annual household income below $50,000. Over half (55.3%) were assigned male, 40.4% were assigned female, and 4.3% were assigned intersex at birth. Transgender respondents made up 10.6% (n=267) of the respondents. In terms of sexual orientation, 54.1% (n=1371) reported being gay or lesbian, 30% (n=749) bisexual, and 15.8% (n=401) queer. A total of 756 (29.8%) respondents reported receiving a cancer diagnosis and among screen-eligible respondents, 66.2% reported ever having a Pap, 78.6% reported ever having a mammogram, and 84.1% reported ever having a colonoscopy. Over half of eligible respondents (58.7%) reported receiving Human Papillomavirus vaccinations. CONCLUSION Study findings showcase effective strategies to reach communities, maximize data quality, and prevent the misrepresentation of data critical to improve health in SGD communities.

Abstract
5533 Background: Population-based studies to examine cervical cancer screening (CCS) and prevention among sexual and gender diverse (SGD) individuals have been limited. We conducted a state-wide survey in New Mexico to examine differences in CCS and HPV vaccination uptake based on gender and sexual orientation. Methods: The survey was advertised using mailed flyers, social media, and targeted internet ads across the state. We received a total of 2534 responses, of which 797 respondents were CCS eligible (i.e., between 21-65 years old, had a cervix, and did not have a prior cervical cancer diagnosis) and provided information about CCS and were included in this analysis. Descriptive statistics were conducted using SAS 9.4. Results: Of the 797 respondents, 83% were 21 - 40 years old, 44% were white, 34% reported an annual household income below $50,000, 83% were employed, 81% had health insurance, and 73% reported having a primary care provider. Fourteen percent were transgender men or nonbinary, 86% were cisgender women, 34% were bisexual, 48% were lesbian, and 18% were queer. While there were no statistical differences in self-reported CCS based on gender identity, 31% of cisgender women and 25% of transgender men and nonbinary individuals reported never receiving a Pap test. The top reason for never receiving a Pap test among cisgender women was that their healthcare provider told them they did not need it (17%) and for transgender men and nonbinary individuals the top reasons were that they had an HPV vaccine (21%) or that it was too painful, unpleasant, or embarrassing (21%). There were significant statistical differences based on sexual orientation for receiving a Pap test (p < 0.001) and for being up to date on screening (Pap test in the past 3 years, a co-test, or primary HPV test in the past 5 years) (p = 0.03). Among lesbians, 39% reported never having a Pap test, compared with 17% of bisexuals and 30% of queer individuals. For lesbians, the top reason for not receiving a Pap test was not knowing that Pap tests existed (19%), while the top reason for both bisexual and queer individuals was that their healthcare provider told them they did not need it (17% and 19%, respectively). No significant differences were noted in HPV vaccination uptake among respondents. Conclusions: In order to address sexual orientation differences noted in our study, future research is needed to explore mechanisms through which these differences operate using community-based approaches. Additionally, educational interventions inclusive of different gender identities and sexual orientations are needed to improve motivations for screening uptake among SGD individuals. Finally, specific considerations for SGD individuals should be incorporated into screening recommendations and guidelines and clearly communicated to providers, further enabling them to make recommendations for these populations.

Abstract
For many important crops including sorghum, use of CRISPR/Cas technology is limited not only by the delivery of the gene-modification components into a plant cell, but also by the ability to regenerate a fertile plant from the engineered cell through tissue culture. Here, we report that Wuschel2 (Wus2)-enabled transformation increases not only the transformation efficiency, but also the CRISPR/Cas-targeted genome editing frequency in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). Using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, we have demonstrated Wus2-induced direct somatic embryo formation and regeneration, bypassing genotype-dependent callus formation and significantly shortening the tissue culture cycle time. This method also increased the regeneration capacity that resulted in higher transformation efficiency across different sorghum varieties. Subsequently, advanced excision systems and "altruistic" transformation technology have been developed to generate high-quality morphogenic gene-free and/or selectable marker-free sorghum events. Finally, we demonstrate up to 6.8-fold increase in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene dropout frequency using Wus2-enabled transformation, compared to without Wus2, across various targeted loci in different sorghum genotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Social determinants of health (SDH) greatly influence outcomes during the first year of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis, a disease similar to polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA). We investigated the correlation of community poverty level and other SDH with the persistence of moderate to severe disease activity and functional disability over the first year of treatment in pJIA patients enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry. METHODS In this cohort study, unadjusted and adjusted generalized linear mixed effects models analyzed the effect of community poverty and other SDH on disease activity, using the clinical Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-10, and disability, using the Child Health Assessment Questionnaire, measured at baseline, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS One thousand six hundred eighty-four patients were identified. High community poverty (≥20% living below the federal poverty level) was associated with increased odds of functional disability (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.28-2.60) but was not statistically significant after adjustment (aOR 1.23, 95% CI 0.81-1.86) and was not associated with increased disease activity. Non-white race/ethnicity was associated with higher disease activity (aOR 2.48, 95% CI: 1.41-4.36). Lower self-reported household income was associated with higher disease activity and persistent functional disability. Public insurance (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.06-2.29) and low family education (aOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.14-3.12) was associated with persistent functional disability. CONCLUSION High community poverty level was associated with persistent functional disability in unadjusted analysis but not with persistent moderate to high disease activity. Race/ethnicity and other SDH were associated with persistent disease activity and functional disability.

Abstract
Frequency upconversion technique, where the infrared signal is nonlinearly translated into the visible band to leverage the silicon sensors, offers a promising alternation for the mid-infrared (MIR) imaging. However, the intrinsic field of view (FOV) is typically limited by the phase-matching condition, thus imposing a remaining challenge to promote subsequent applications. Here, we demonstrate a wide-field upconversion imaging based on the aperiodic quasi-phase-matching configuration. The acceptance angle is significantly expanded to about 30°, over tenfold larger than that with the periodical poling crystal. The extended FOV is realized in one shot without the need of parameter scanning or post-processing. Consequently, a fast snapshot allows to facilitate high-speed imaging at a frame rate up to 216 kHz. Alternatively, single-photon imaging at room temperature is permitted due to the substantially suppressed background noise by the spectro-temporal filtering. Furthermore, we have implemented high-resolution time-of-flight 3D imaging based on the picosecond optical gating. These presented MIR imaging features with wide field, fast speed, and high sensitivity might stimulate immediate applications, such as non-destructive defect inspection, in-vivo biomedical examination, and high-speed volumetric tomography. The authors present a simple yet effective solution to dramatically boost the performances of an upconversion imaging system, which leads to unprecedented mid-infrared imaging features with large field of view, single-photon sensitivity and a MHz-level frame rate.

Abstract
Purpose Despite about 5% of the US population identifying as Sexual and Gender Diverse (SGD), there is limited research on cancer prevention and control disparities in this population. In New Mexico (NM), population-level data from the Department of Health show differences in cervical and breast cancer screening uptake based on sexual orientation, but these data do not document disparities based on gender identity and for other types of cancer, prompting us to assess cancer prevention practices among NM SGD communities. SGD communities have consistently been considered “hard to reach” and much of the extant SGD studies have been conducted in large urban cities. We present findings on how to implement innovative, multi-pronged, and systematic recruitment strategies to engage SGD communities in NM, a state that is both largely rural and racially classified as “majority-minority” state. Methods Our recruitment efforts focused on four strategies: (1) Every Door Direct Mail program (by the United States Postal Services) was used to mail flyers across targeted (based on residential areas, income below $30,000, and between ages 30-71) mailing routes across NM. (2) These routes were also targeted for study-related ads via Google, Twitter, and Facebook. (3) Email outreach was conducted with SGD-friendly businesses, state cancer coalitions, and the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center's Office of Community Outreach and Engagement. (4) Flyers were displayed at clinical and community settings across NM. All flyers, ads, and emails contained QR codes for a pre-survey that determined eligibility for participation in the main survey (i.e. 21-80 years old, NM resident, member of SGD community). Questions on the online survey, provided in both English and Spanish, inquired about the participant's demographics, body organs, physical health, vaccination history, healthcare access, and cancer screening practices. Results A total of 27,369 flyers were distributed and 436,177 impressions were made on social media, resulting in 5,080 surveys from eligible participants. Approximately 68% heard about the study from social media, 17% from email, 16% through friends or family, and 12% from flyers. All eligible participants were then emailed three times and, in a few cases, mailed a survey. This resulted in 3,115 completed surveys. Half of respondents were between 31-40 years, 38% were Black, Hispanic, or American Indian/Alaskan Native, and 48% had an annual household income below $50,000. Eighteen percent identified as lesbian, 30% gay, 28% bisexual, and 18% queer, while 48% were cisgender men, 32% cisgender women, and 13% transgender. Approximately 44% reported residing in rural areas and responses were received from 172 unique NM zip codes. Conclusion To reach state-wide SGD communities and engage them in population-based research, innovative and systematic efforts are needed. Social media and postal flyers may provide successful recruitment opportunities with potential to use these methods for future public health interventions for these populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes and its impact on mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are well-established. Sex-specific analyses of the impact of diabetes on all-cause mortality after AMI have not been updated and comprehensively investigated. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis that examined sex-specific short-term, mid-term and long-term all-cause mortality associated with diabetes among AMI survivors (diabetes versus non-diabetes patients in men and women separately), using up-to-date data. METHODS We systematically searched Embase and MEDLINE for studies that were published from inception to November 14, 2021. Studies were included if (1) they studied post-AMI all-cause-mortality in patients with and without diabetes, (2) sex-specific all-cause mortality at short-term (in-hospital or within 90 days after discharge), mid-term (>90 days and within 5 years), and/or long-term (>5 years) were reported. From eligible studies, we used random effects meta-analyses models to estimate pooled unadjusted and adjusted sex-specific risk ratio (RR) of all-cause mortality at short-, mid-, and long-term follow-up for adults with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. RESULTS Of the 3647 unique studies identified, 20 studies met inclusion criteria. In the unadjusted analysis (Total N=673,985; women=34.2%; diabetes patients=19.6%), patients with diabetes were at a higher risk for all-cause mortality at short-term (men: RR, 2.06; women: RR, 1.83); and mid-term follow-up (men: RR, 1.69; women: RR, 1.52) compared with those without diabetes in both men and women. However, when adjusted RRs were used (Total N=7,144,921; women=40.0%; diabetes patients=28.4%), the associations between diabetes and all-cause mortality in both men and women were attenuated, but still significantly elevated for short-term (men: RR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.12-1.20; women: RR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.15-1.46), mid-term (men: RR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.31-1.46; women: RR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.20-1.58), and long-term mortality (men: RR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.22-2.05; women: RR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.25-2.47). In men, all-cause mortality risk associated with diabetes tended to increase with the duration of follow-up (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes has substantial and sustained effects on post-AMI all-cause mortality at short-term, mid-term and long-term follow-up, regardless of sex. Tailoring AMI treatment based on patients' diabetes status, duration of follow-up and sex may help narrow the gap in all-cause mortality between patients with diabetes and those without diabetes.

Abstract
We numerically demonstrate a Z-shaped metal-based metamaterial to realize an active polarization-controlled plasmon-induced transparency (PIT). The metamaterial unit cell contains two horizontal Au bars and a vertical Au bar. Simply by varying the incident light polarization, a tunable PIT can be achieved due to the reversible conversion of bright and dark modes between the horizontal and vertical Au bars. Moreover, a switchable PIT window modulation can be accomplished via changing the geometrical parameters, and the theoretical fittings according to the coupled Lorentz oscillator model display consistency with the simulated results. Our proposed metamaterials provide a promising strategy for fabricating compact PIT devices such as optical switching, sensing, and selective filters.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The collection of morbidity outcomes following surgery was recommended by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2014. They suggest a structure to stratify complications into groupings but do not include a classification this limits comparison. Our unit, a regionalised maxillofacial trauma service, introduced a standardised morbidity and error classification to be applied at M&M meetings.
Method
Prospective collection of data from March 2019 to February 2020. All patients discussed at our M&M meeting were then classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification (2004), assigned an error type and recommended action determined through a panel of between 5-10 consultants.
Results
301 surgical procedures were carried out with a 7% complication rate. 26 cases were discussed at M&M. The commonest error type was ‘nature of the disease’ (48%) followed by ‘error in judgement’ (37%). Clavien-Dindo Classification IIIb (intervention under GA) was the most frequent morbidity (74%)
Conclusions
Standardised national data collection of morbidity and error can be used to analyse a single institution or between institutions to improve patient care. To our knowledge, this is the first standardised classification of morbidity in maxillofacial trauma and was of educational and service benefit. However, there was discussion of the appropriateness of the classification systems to facial fractures. We would therefore recommend further development of both a morbidity classification and an error type classification specific to treatment of facial fractures so that it can be used to improve outcomes for our patients in the future.

Abstract
Vertically aligned gold nanorod arrays have attracted much attention for their fascinating optical properties. Different from longitudinal surface plasmon wavelength (LSPW) and edge-to-edge spacing of gold nanorods, the role of gold nanorod diameter in plasmonic enhancement ability of vertical gold nanorod arrays has rarely been explored. In this work, we selected gold nanorods with similar LSPW but two different diameters (22 and 41 nm), the optical properties of which are dominated by absorption and scattering cross sections, respectively. The vertically aligned arrays of these gold nanorods formed by evaporation self-assembly are coupled with nonlinear ZnO nanocrystal films spin-coated on their surfaces. It was found that the gold nanorod array with a larger diameter can enhance the second harmonic generation (SHG) of ZnO nanofilm by a factor of 27.0, while it is about 7.3 for the smaller gold nanorod array. Theoretical simulations indicate that such stronger enhancement of the larger vertical gold nanorod array compared with the smaller one is due to its stronger scattering ability and greater extent of near-field enhancement at SHG fundamental wavelength. Our work shows that the diameter of gold nanorods is also an important factor to be considered in realizing strong plasmon enhancement of vertically aligned gold nanorod arrays.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND HYPOTHESIS The primary objective is to measure the difference in urinary tract infection (UTI) rates within 6 weeks of placement of a retropubic mid-urethral sling (RMUS) in the setting of various postoperative prophylactic antibiotic regimens. UTI rates were measured by antibiotic prescriptions to treat UTI and/or culture. Secondary aims included determining risk factors for postoperative UTI. METHODS A retrospective chart review from 2014 to 2016 was performed at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center-Temple for CPT code 57288. Univariate comparisons were performed using chi-square and Student's t-test. Logistic regression analysis was performed for UTI risk factors with univariate p values ≤ 0.1. RESULTS One hundred twelve subjects were included. Seventeen (15%) were treated for postoperative UTI. Postoperative prophylactic antibiotics included trimethoprim (39.3%), nitrofurantoin (31.3%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (5.4%), ciprofloxacin (2.7%), and cephalexin (1.8%). Ninety subjects were prescribed postoperative prophylactic antibiotics (80.4%). The postoperative UTI rate was not significantly different between those who were prescribed postoperative prophylactic antibiotics (16%) and those who were not (14%). None of the treatments showed a significant difference on postoperative UTI rate compared to no treatment. Significant risk factors for UTI included catheterization past postoperative day 1 (OR 6.4, 95% CI 1.7 - 23.8; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS There was no significant difference in postoperative UTI rate in the group without postoperative prophylactic antibiotics compared to those who did receive it. Catheterization past postoperative day 1 was significantly associated with postoperative UTI. However, definitive conclusions are limited by a lack of power.

Abstract
AIMS This is a prospective cohort study comparing de novo lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in subjects undergoing a retropubic mid-urethral sling who either did or did not develop a postoperative retropubic hematoma within 6 weeks of surgery. The secondary objective was to measure the incidence and prevalence of retropubic hematomas, and subject characteristics associated with retropubic hematomas. METHODS Eligible subjects were recruited before undergoing a retropubic mid-urethral sling with or without concurrent pelvic reconstructive surgery. Validated urinary symptom questionnaires were completed before surgery and at 6 weeks postoperatively. An abdominal ultrasound was used to establish baseline lower urinary tract imaging. Ultrasound was repeated immediately after surgery and 6 weeks later to assess for the presence of retropubic hematomas. RESULTS Ninety-four subjects were enrolled. Baseline urgency and frequency were measured in 35% (33/93) of subjects. At 6 weeks postoperatively, 2% (1/52) had de novo LUTS which were not associated with a retropubic hematoma at any time. Immediately after surgery, the incidence of retropubic hematomas was 17% (16/94) while the prevalence of retropubic hematomas 6 weeks after surgery was 4% (3/75). There was no significant difference in the change in hemoglobin before and after surgery between those with and without postoperative retropubic hematomas. CONCLUSIONS There is no significant association with de novo LUTS and retropubic hematomas. Though there is a 17% incidence of retropubic hematomas detected immediately after surgery, those with hematomas who were not lost to follow-up resolved by the 6-week postoperative visit and is of unclear clinical significance.

Abstract
We investigate the fluorescence from submonolayer rhodamine 6G molecules near gold nanoparticles (NPs) at a well-controlled poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) interval thickness from 1.5 to 21 nm. The plasmonic resonance peaks of gold NPs are tuned from 530 to 580 nm by the PMMA spacer of different thicknesses. Then, due to the plasmonic resonant excitation enhancement, the emission intensity of rhodamine 6G molecules at 562 nm is found to be enhanced and shows a decline as the PMMA spacer thickness increases. The variation of spectral intensity simulated by finite-difference time-domain method is consistent with the experimental results. Moreover, the lifetime results show the combined effects to rhodamine 6G fluorescence, which include the quenching effect, the barrier effect of PMMA as spacer layer and the attenuation effect of PMMA films.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the species, abundance and structure differences of intestinal flora between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and healthy individuals and explore the correlation between intestinal flora changes and T2D. OBJECTIVE We collected a total of 133 clinical fecal samples from 78 healthy individuals and 55 patients with T2D. Hiseq2500 was used for high-throughput sequencing of the V3+V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Usearch and QIIME were used for data splicing and filtering, classification and species annotation. The Alpha diversity index and Beta diversity index of the samples were analyzed using R language data packets to compare the richness and diversity of the sample flora. The flora differences were compared between the two groups and the disease marker flora was screened after correction of the relevant factors. PICRUST software was used to predict the function of different flora. OBJECTIVE There was significant difference in the intestinal flora diversity between the two groups. Cluster analysis showed that Fimicutes and Bacteroidetes were the dominant species at the phylum level. LefSe analysis showed that significant differences in the relative abundance between the two groups in 2 phyla, 3 classes, 3 orders, 4 families and 10 genera. After correction for the influence of related factors, the markers of T2Drelated bacteria groups were identified, including Bifidobacterium, Bifidobacteriales, Bifidobacteriaceae, Actinobacteria, Bacilli, Lactobacillales, Lactobacillaceae and Lactobacillus. On this basis, analysis of KEGG metabolic pathways of the differential flora revealed significant differences in 36 KEGG metabolic pathways between the two groups, and the citric acid cycle, lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and other metabolic pathways were all up-regulated in T2D group. OBJECTIVE The composition and abundance of intestinal flora were different between T2D group and the normal group, and T2D group showed the characteristics of ecological imbalance.
