Abstract
AIM To develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics model for the preoperative identification of mesenchymal transition (MT) subtype in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and eighty-nine patients with histopathologically confirmed HGSOC were enrolled retrospectively. Among the included patients, 55 patients were determined as the MT subtype and the remaining 134 were non-MT subtype. After extracting a total of 204 features from T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and contrast-enhanced (CE)-T1WI images, the Mann-Whitney U-test, Spearman correlation test, and Boruta algorithm were adopted to select the optimal feature set. Three classifiers, including logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF), were trained to develop radiomics models. The performance of established models was evaluated from three aspects: discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. RESULTS Seven radiomics features relevant to MT subtypes were selected to build the radiomics models. The model based on the RF algorithm showed the best performance in predicting MT subtype, with areas under the curves (AUCs) of 0.866 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.797-0.936) and 0.852 (95 % CI: 0.736-0.967) in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. The calibration curves, supported with Brier scores, indicated very good consistency between observation and prediction. Decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the RF-based model could provide more net benefit, which suggested favorable utility in clinical application. CONCLUSION The RF-based radiomics model provided accurate identification of MT from the non-MT subtype and may help facilitate personalised management of HGSOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The effect of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on the outcome of patients with large-vessel occlusion undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT) has mainly focused on the anterior circulation. Knowledge of the relationship between ICH and outcomes in patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) receiving EVT is limited. We aimed to assess whether ICH is a prognostic marker for acute VBAO following EVT. METHODS Patients who underwent EVT for acute VBAO in the acute posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PERSIST) registry were included. All patients were classified as having no or any-ICH. Any-ICH was subdivided into asymptomatic and symptomatic ICH. A multivariate regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between ICH and functional outcomes in patients with acute VBAO after receiving EVT. RESULTS Five hundred and forty-seven patients, including 107 patients with ICH (19.6%): 38 (7.0%) and 69 (12.6%) with symptomatic and asymptomatic ICH, respectively. After adjustment for potential confounders, any-ICH was independently associated with reduced chance of favorable outcome (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.21-0.72, P=0.003), functional independence (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.16-0.52, P<0.001), and excellent outcome (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.15-0.75, P=0.008), and increased mortality risk (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.30-3.51, P=0.003). Symptomatic ICH had a similar association. Moreover, asymptomatic ICH was a negative predictor of functional independence (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.17-0.88, P=0.024). CONCLUSION Any- and symptomatic ICH were strongly associated with worse clinical outcomes and increased mortality in patients with acute VBAO who underwent EVT. Asymptomatic ICH was an inverse predictor of functional independence.

Abstract
In addition to the acute lethal toxicity, insecticides might affect population dynamics of insect pests by inducing life history trait changes under low concentrations, however, the underlying mechanisms remain not well understood. Here we examined systemic impacts on development and reproduction caused by low concentration exposures to cyantraniliprole in the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, and the putative underlying mechanisms were investigated. The results showed that exposure of third-instar larvae to LC10 and LC30 of cyantraniliprole significantly extended larvae duration by 1.46 and 5.41 days, respectively. Treatment with LC30 of cyantraniliprole significantly decreased the pupae weight and pupation rate as well as the longevity, fecundity and egg hatchability of female adults. Consistently, we found that exposure of FAW to LC30 cyantraniliprole downregulated the mRNA expression of four ecdysteroid biosynthesis genes including SfNobo, SfShd, SfSpo and SfDib and one ecdysone response gene SfE75 in the larvae as well as the gene encoding vitellogenin (SfVg) in the female adults. We also found that treatment with LC30 of cyantraniliprole significantly decreased the whole body levels of glucose, trehalose, glycogen and triglyceride in the larvae. Our results indicate that low concentration of cyantraniliprole inhibited FAW development by disruption of ecdysteroid biosynthesis as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, which have applied implications for the control of FAW.

Abstract
The lepidopteran-specific RNAi efficiency-related nuclease (REase) has been shown to contribute to double-strand RNA (dsRNA) degradation in several lepidopteran insects. However, little is known about its regulatory mechanism. In this study, we identified and characterized SfREase in Spodoptera frugiperda. The exposure of the third-instar larvae to dsEGFP and high temperature led to the upregulation of SfREase, whereas starvation treatment resulted in the downregulation of SfREase. Further experiments revealed that dsRNA degraded more slowly in the hemolymph or midgut fluid extracted from dsSfREase-injected or dsSfREase-ingested larvae compared with those from dsEGFP-treated larvae, and the recombinant SfREase degraded dsRNA in a concentration-dependent manner. Additionally, the knockdown of SfREase improved RNAi efficiency. Finally, both RNAi and dual-luciferase reporter assay in Sf9 cells revealed that SfREase is negatively regulated by FOXO. These data provide insights into the function and regulatory mechanism of REase and have applied implications for the development of an RNAi-based control strategy of S. frugiperda.

Abstract
With the increasing incidence of esophagogastric junction carcinoma, the application rate of proximal gastrectomy has been rising annually. There is a wide variety of methods for digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy, and some of these reconstruction methods have been introduced relatively recently, with limited clinical experience, which led to a lack of standardization. Such a situation will inevitably result in inconsistent clinical outcomes of proximal gastrectomy with digestive tract reconstruction. To promote the standardization of digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy, improve the clinical efficacy of proximal gastrectomy, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, this article elaborates on the indications, surgical steps and technical points of the four methods after proximal gastrectomy recommended by the "Chinese consensus on digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy (2020 edition)", such as double tract, side overlap, double flaps and gastric tube reconstruction, providing guidance for the application of digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Consolidative thoracic radiotherapy (cTRT) showed potential benefit to extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, the optimum dose of cTRT is unknown. The purpose of this randomized trial was to compare the effect of 45 Gy in 15 fractions with 30 Gy in 10 fractions cTRT in ES-SCLC. MATERIALS/METHODS This phase III, randomized trial was conducted in 12 public hospitals in China. Eligible patients with pathologically confirmed ES-SCLC who responded to 4-6 cycles of etoposide plus cisplatin (EP) or carboplatin (EC) chemotherapy were randomized 1:1 to receive either 30 Gy in 10 fractions or 45 Gy in 15 fractions cTRT. The primary outcome was 2-year overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes included 2-year progression-free survival (PFS), 2-year local control (LC) and radiation treatment related toxicity. The primary objective was to detect an OS improvement in 45 Gy cTRT group at 2 years from 13% to 26% assuming a two-sided a = 0.05 and power of 85%, with a planned sample size of 186 patients. This trial was registered with Clinical Trials.gov, number NCT02675088. RESULTS Between January 15, 2016, and September 20, 2022, 90 patients were randomly assigned either 30 Gy in 10 fractions (n = 50) or 45 Gy in 15 fractions (n = 40) cTRT group. Recruitment to the trial closed early due to slow accrual since first-line chemoimmunotherapy has become the new standard of care for ES-SCLC. The median age of patients was 58 years, 87.8% were male, 76.7% had a smoking history, 95.6% received IMRT, and 58.9% received prophylactic cranial irradiation. At a median follow-up of 39.9 months (IQR 27.2-59.2), there was no significant difference in the 2-year OS between the 45 Gy group and the 30 Gy group, at 43.4% (95% CI 29.3%-64.3%) and 40.0% (95% CI 27.9%-59.1%), respectively (log-rank p = 0.62; HR 1.13 [95% CI 0.69-1.84]). The 2-year PFS was 12.1% (95% CI 4.3%-33.8%) in the 45 Gy group and 9.0% (95% CI 3.2%-25.2%) in the 30 Gy group (log-rank p = 0.25, HR 0.76(95% CI [0.478-1.22]). There were also no significant differences in locoregional recurrence free survival (log-rank p = 0.75; HR 0.888 [95% CI 0.423-1.863]) and distant metastasis free survival (log-rank p = 0.95; HR 1.015 [95% CI 0.624-1.651]) between two groups. No grade 5 toxicity was observed in both groups. Patients treated with higher cTRT dose presented with increased incidence of grade 3+ radiation pneumonitis (10% vs 2%) and hematological toxicity (20% vs 12.5%). CONCLUSION This randomized trial did not find a higher probability of survival improvement in patients with ES-SCLC receiving cTRT of 45 Gy in 15 fractions compared with 30 Gy in 10 fractions. In contrast, there was an increase in toxicity, especially radiation pneumonitis. Additional randomized studies investigating the role of cTRT in ES-SCLC after a response to chemoimmunotherapy are warranted.

Abstract
As the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo Glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis, the mammalian glutamate cysteine ligase (Gcl) catalytic (Gclc) and modifier (Gclm) subunits are regulated at multiple levels, whereas the function and regulatory mechanism of insect Gcl remain to be explored. In this study, we identified and characterized SfGclc and SfGclm in Spodoptera frugiperda. SfGclc and SfGclm were highly expressed in the hindgut and relatively less expressed in other tissues. The exposure of the third instar larvae to LC30 of emamectin benzoate (EMB) significantly reduced the GSH content with a concomitant upregulation of SfGclc and SfGclm. Further in vivo pretreatment with L-BSO, the Gcl inhibitor, increased the susceptibility of S. frugiperda to EMB. Consistently, overexpression of SfGclc and SfGclm increased the Sf9 cell viability under EMB treatment. Finally, both RNAi and the dual-luciferase reporter assay in Sf9 cells revealed that SfGclc is regulated by transcription factor CncC. These data provide insights into the function and regulatory mechanism of insect Gcl, and they imply that disruption of the redox homeostasis might be a practical strategy to enhance the insecticidal activity of EMB and other insecticides.

Abstract
Rapid depletion of cellular ATP can occur by oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Maintaining energy homeostasis requires the key molecular components AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and arginine kinase (AK), an invertebrate orthologue of the mammalian creatine kinase (CK). Here, we deciphered two independent and synergistic pathways of AMPK acting on AK by using the beetle Tribolium castaneum as a model system. First, AMPK acts on transcriptional factor forkhead box O (FOXO) leading to phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of the FOXO. The phospho-FOXO directly promotes the expression of AK upon oxidative stress. Concomitantly, AMPK directly phosphorylates the AK to switch the direction of enzymatic catalysis for rapid production of ATP from the phosphoarginine-arginine pool. Further in vitro assays revealed that Sf9 cells expressing phospho-deficient AK mutants displayed the lower ATP/ADP ratio and cell viability under paraquat-induced oxidative stress conditions when compared with Sf9 cells expressing wild-type AKs. Additionally, the AMPK-FOXO-CK pathway is also involved in the restoration of ATP homeostasis under oxidative stress in mammalian HEK293 cells. Overall, we provide evidence that two distinct AMPK-AK pathways, transcriptional and post-translational regulations, are coherent responders to acute oxidative stresses and distinguished from classical AMPK-mediated long-term metabolic adaptations to energy challenge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sublethal exposure to insecticides causes changes in insect behaviors and physiologies including feeding, mobility, communication, hormone homeostasis, development and fecundity, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms were largely unclear. Our previous studies revealed that sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure disturbed the hormone homeostasis, reduced the weight and longevity and prolonged the developmental duration of Chilo suppressalis. In the present study, the potential phosphorylation modification regulation mechanisms in C. suppressalis in response to sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure were explored using comparative and quantitative phosphoproteomics. RESULTS A total of 2640 phosphopeptides belonging to 1144 phosphoproteins were identified, among which 446 phosphopeptides derived from 303 unique phosphoproteins were differentially phosphorylated between the chlorantraniliprole-treated and control larvae. The phosphorylation levels of differentially phosphorylated phosphopeptides were further validated using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). Functional classification and protein-protein interaction of the differentially phosphorylated proteins (DPPs) were analyzed. Generalized analysis of the DPPs and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identified in our previous study showed that sublethal chlorantraniliprole exposure significantly changed the transcription and phosphorylation levels of genes/proteins associated with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, cytoskeleton, signal transduction, transcription, translation and post-translational modification, leading to the dysfunctions of energy metabolism, transcription regulation, protein synthesis and modification, and signal transduction in C. suppressalis. Further analysis of the phosphorylation motifs in DPPs revealed that the MAPKs, CDKs, CaMK II, PKA, PKC and CK II protein kinases might be directly responsible for the phosphoproteomics response of C. suppressalis to chlorantraniliprole treatment. CONCLUSION Our results provide abundant phosphorylation information for characterizing the protein modification in insects, and also provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of insect post-translational modifications in response to sublethal insecticide exposure. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the performance of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection in screening of contacts of COVID-19 cases in same flights and provide evidence for the effective screening of persons at high risk for the infection in domestic flights. Methods: The information of passengers who took same domestic flights with COVID-19 cases in China from April 1, 2020 to April 30, 2022 were retrospectively collected,and χ2 test was used to analyze positive nucleic acid detection rates in the passengers in different times before the onsets of the index cases, in different seat rows and in epidemic periods of different 2019-nCoV variants. Results: During the study period, a total of 433 index cases were identified among 23 548 passengers in 370 flights. Subsequently, 72 positive cases of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid were detected in the passengers, in whom 57 were accompanying persons of the index cases. Further analysis of the another 15 passengers who tested positive for the nucleic acid showed that 86.67% of them had onsets or positive detections within 3 days after the diagnosis of the index cases, and the boarding times were all within 4 days before the onsets of the index cases. The positive detection rate in the passengers who seated in first three rows before and after the index cases was 0.15% (95%CI: 0.08%-0.27%), significantly higher than in the passengers in other rows (0.04%, 95%CI: 0.02%-0.10%, P=0.007),and there was no significant difference in the positive detection rate among the passengers in each of the 3 rows before and after the index cases (P=0.577). No significant differences were found in the positive detection rate in the passengers, except the accompanying persons, among the epidemics caused by different 2019-nCoV variants (P=0.565). During the Omicron epidemic period, all the positive detections in the passengers, except the accompanying persons, were within 3 days before the onset of the index cases. Conclusions: The screening test of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid can be conducted in the passengers took the same flights within 4 days before the onsets of the index cases on board. Passengers who seated within 3 rows from the index cases can considered as the close contacts at high risk for 2019-nCoV, for whom screening should be conducted first and special managements are needed. The passengers in other rows can be classified as general risk persons for screening and management.

Abstract
It is well known that sublethal dose of insecticides induces life history trait changes of both target and non-target insect species, however, the underlying mechanisms remain not well understood. In this study, the effects of low concentrations of the anthranilic diamide insecticide chlorantraniliprole on the development and reproduction of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, were evaluated, and the underlying mechanisms were explored. The results showed that exposure of FAW to LC10 and LC30 chlorantraniliprole prolonged the larvae duration, decreased the mean weight of the larvae and pupae, and lowered the pupation rate as well as emergence rate. The fecundity of female adults was also negatively affected by treatment with low concentrations of chlorantraniliprole. Consistently, we found that exposure of FAW to LC30 chlorantraniliprole downregulated the mRNA expression of juvenile hormone (JH) esterase (SfJHE), leading to the increase of JH titer in larvae. We also found that treatment with low concentrations of chlorantraniliprole suppressed the expression of ribosomal protein S6 kinase1 (SfS6K1) in female adults, resulting in the downregulation of the gene encoding vitellogenin (SfVg). These results provided insights into the mechanisms underlying the effects of low concentrations of insecticides on insect pests, and had applied implications for the control of FAW.

Abstract
The association of decreased fecundity with insecticide resistance and the negative sublethal effects of insecticides on insect reproduction indicates the typical trade-off between two highly energy-demanding processes, detoxification and reproduction. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The energy sensor adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and the transcription factor Cap "n" collar isoform C (CncC) are important regulators of energy metabolism and xenobiotic response, respectively. In this study, using the beetle Tribolium castaneum as a model organism, we found that deltamethrin-induced oxidative stress activated AMPK, which promoted the nuclear translocation of CncC through its phosphorylation. The CncC not only acts as a transcription activator of cytochrome P450 genes but also regulates the expression of genes coding for ecdysteroid biosynthesis and juvenile hormone (JH) degradation enzymes, resulting in increased ecdysteroid levels as well as decreased JH titer and vitellogenin (Vg) gene expression. These data show that in response to xenobiotic stress, the pleiotropic AMPK-CncC signaling pathway mediates the trade-off between detoxification and reproduction by up-regulating detoxification genes and disturbing hormonal homeostasis.

Abstract
The mammalian heme oxygenase (HO) plays an important role in cytoprotection against oxidative-stress-induced cell damage; however, functional characterization of insect HO is still limited. In this study, cDNA encoding a HO, named SfHO, was cloned from Spodoptera frugiperda. Analysis of the transcription level and enzymatic activity showed that exposure of the LC30 concentration of chlorantraniliprole to the third instar larvae significantly upregulated both the mRNA level and enzymatic activity of SfHO at 24 h after treatment. Further injection of the HO activator, hemin, into the third instar larvae led to the upregulation of SfHO as well as decreased susceptibility of S. frugiperda to chlorantraniliprole. Consistently, overexpression of SfHO increased the Sf9 cell viability under chlorantraniliprole treatment. Strikingly, both RNAi and the dual-luciferase reporter assay in Sf9 cells revealed that, unlike mammalian HO that is regulated by the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), SfHO was not subject to the regulation by cap 'n' collar isoform C (CncC), the Nrf2 homologue in insects. These data provide insights into the function and regulatory mechanism of insect HOs and had applied implications for the control of S. frugiperda.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the association between intracranial plaque characteristics and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, and their combined effects on the occurrence of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and forty-three patients with recent ischaemic events in the territory of middle cerebral artery or basilar artery were enrolled and divided into the ACI group (n=93) and non-ACI group (n=50) according to clinical data and diffusion-weighting imaging (DWI) results. All recruited patients underwent high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess intracranial plaque characteristics, including plaque enhancement, standardised wall index, stenosis ratio, T1 hyperintense component, remodelling pattern, plaque area, plaque burden, and maximum wall thickness. hs-CRP levels were further grouped into the low group (<1 mg/l), the intermediate group (1-3 mg/l), and the high group (≥3 mg/l). Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve were constructed to evaluate the association between intracranial plaque characteristics and hs-CRP levels, as well as their synergistic effects on determining the occurrence of ACI. RESULTS High hs-CRP levels were associated with strong plaque enhancement (p<0.001, odds ratio [OR] = 7.497). Strong plaque enhancement (p=0.002, OR=2.109) and high hs-CRP levels (p=0.009, OR=3.893) were independently associated with the occurrence of ACI after adjustments for sex, age, and other traditional atherosclerotic risk factors. The combination of hs-CRP levels and strong plaque enhancement provided incremental information to determine ACI with an AUC of 0.823, which was significantly higher than that of strong plaque enhancement (0.711) and hs-CRP levels (0.686), respectively. CONCLUSION High hs-CRP levels were associated with strong plaque enhancement. The synergistic effects of hs-CRP levels and strong plaque enhancement provided incremental effects on the occurrence of ACI.

Abstract
Objective: To Summarize the safety, clinical outcome and technical evolution of laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Clinical data of 3012 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer from January 2010 to March 2022 at Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Case inclusion criteria were gastric malignancies confirmed by pathology, without distant metastasis by examination before operation and exploration during operation, patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, intact function of important organs and with complete data. Exclusion criteria were patients who underwent emergency gastric cancer resection due to gastric bleeding, perforation or obstruction, etc., tumor found to invade adjacent organs such as pancreas or transverse colon during the operation, conversion to open surgery during the operation, those who had other malignant tumors (except thyroid cancer) within 5 years, and those had severe cardiopulmonary, liver, or kidney insufficiency before surgery. Outcomes included: (1) baseline information of patients; (2) trend of the quantity of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy year by year; (3) evolution of the mode of digestive tract reconstruction; (4) periopertive outcome short-term complication was defined as complication occurring within 30 days after operation and classified accordiny to the clavien-Dindo criteria; and (5) 5-year overall survival. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. Continuous variables that obeyed the normal distribution were expressed in the form of Mean±SD. Days of hospital stay that did not follow a normal distribution were expressed as median (Q1,Q3), and the Mann-Whiney U test was used for comparison. Discrete variables were expressed as cases (%), and chi-square test or rank sum test was used for comparison between groups. Linear regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the amount of surgery and the year of surgery. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Two-tailed P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Among the 3012 cases, 2114 were male and 898 were female. The patients' average age at surgery was (61.1±10.7) years old. According to the number of cumulative cases, the patients were divided into three groups: early, intermediate and late, with 1004 patients in each group. The early group consisted of patients undergoing operation from January 2010 to October 2018, the intermediate group consisted of patients undergoing operation from October 2018 to January 2021, and the late group consisted of patients undergoing operation from January 2021 to March 2022. (1) General information: There were 691 (68.8%), 699 (69.6%) and 724 (72.1%) male patients in early, intermediate and late groups respectively; the average age increased from 56.6 years in 2010 to 62.8 years in March 2022. As for the tumor stage T1, T2, T3, T4, there were 49.0%, 14.4%, 23.9% and 12.6% in the early group; 47.5%, 12.9%, 26.9% and 12.6% in the intermediate group; 39.7%, 14.6%, 30.0%, and 15.6% in the late group, respectively. Patients with N0, N1, N2, N3a, N3b stage were 56.8%, 13.7%, 13.4%, 11.0%, and 5.0% in the early group; 55.7%, 12.9%, 12.8%, 11.6%, and 6.9% in the intermediate group; 51.0%, 16.1%, 12.8%, 12.5%, and 7.5% in the late group, respectively. (2) Year-by-year change in the number of gastric cancer operations: From 19 cases per year in 2010 to 786 per year in 2021, the annual number of gastric cancer operations was proportional to the year of operation (y=47.505x, R2=0.67). The proportion of patients with stage I disease showed a fluctuating downward trend over time, while the proportion of patients with stage III disease increased slightly, accounting for 34% until March 2022. (3) Evolution of digestive tract reconstruction methods: Except in 2010, the digestive tract reconstruction method of distal gastrectomy focused on Billroth-II+Braun anastomosis among patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery in other years, whose proportion had gradually increased from less than 20% in 2016 to about 70% after 2021; the gastrointestinal reconstruction methods after total gastrectomy had gradually increased in π anastomosis and overlap anastomosis since 2016, of which π anastomosis reached about 65% in 2019, and overlap anastomosis reached almost 30% in 2020; the anastomosis methods after proximal gastrectomy had been mainly double-channel anastomosis (54%) and esophagogastric anastomosis (30%) since 2016, and double-channel anastomosis accounted for up to 70% in 2019. (4) Operation time: The operation time of early, intermediate and late group was (193.3±49.8) min, (186.9±44.3) min and (206.7±51.4) min respectively. Intermediate group was significantly shorter than early group (t=3.005, P=0.003), while late group was significantly longer than early group (t=5.875, P<0.001) and intermediate group (t=9.180, P<0.001).

Abstract
As the downstream effector of the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) signaling pathway, the ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) is an important regulator of insect reproduction, however, the underlying mechanism remains obscure. In this study, a S6K gene, named TcS6K1, was isolated from the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Analysis of temporal and spatial expression patterns revealed that TcS6K1 is expressed at the highest level in the one-day-old first instar larvae and head of 7-day-old females, respectively. RNAi-mediated knockdown of TcS6K1 in either female or male adults decreased the number of eggs laid, with a concomitant reduction of mRNA levelsof vitellogenin genes, TcVg1 and TcVg2, two male accessory gland secretory proteins, as well as the juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis-related gene, farnesol dehydrogenase (TcFDH). While the mRNA and protein levels of the transcription factor forkhead box O (TcFOXO) were not affected, suppression of TcS6K1 expression promoted TcFOXO nuclear translocation to exert its transcriptional action. Further RNAi and EMSA analysis revealed that TcFOXO negatively regulated the expression of TcFDH. These results indicate that S6K might regulate beetles' reproduction through FOXO/JH signaling pathway.

Abstract
Metabolism of insecticides is an energy-consuming process. As an important component of the intracellular energy buffering system, arginine kinase (AK) plays an important role in insect cellular energy homeostasis and environmental stress response, but the involvement of AKs in the response to chemical stressors (insecticides) remains largely unknown. In this study, using Tribolium castaneum as a model organism, we found that deltamethrin treatment significantly upregulated the expression of TcAK1 and TcAK2 and decreased the whole body ATP content. The knockdown of TcAK1 or TcAK2 significantly enhances the deltamethrin-induced ATP depletion and increase the susceptibility of T. castaneum to deltamethrin. In addition, pretreatment with two AK inhibitors, rutin and quercetin, significantly decreased the lifespan of beetles treated with deltamethrin. These results suggest that AKs might be involved in detoxification of insecticides by regulating cellular energy balance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both forkhead box O (FOXO) and nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like-2 (Nrf2) are key transcription factors related to stress responses. Whereas limited studies in mammals and Caenorhabditis elegans have revealed the interaction between FoxO/DAF-16 and Nrf2/SKN-1, the role of FOXO in metabolic detoxification and regulation of the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway are poorly understood in insects. RESULTS Using Tribolium castaneum as a model organism, we found that RNA interference-mediated knockdown of FOXO enhanced deltamethrin-induced lethality by affecting the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of CYP6BQ cluster genes. We further demonstrated that injection of dsFOXO into the beetle larvae decreased expression of CncC and KEAP1 at both the mRNA and protein level. Notably, dual-luciferase and electrophoretic mobility shift assays both confirmed direct regulation of CncC by FOXO, whereas Keap1 was directly regulated by CncC. CONCLUSION FOXO can directly regulate the expression of CncC and indirectly regulate the expression of Keap1 through CncC. The data provide insights into the regulatory mechanisms of the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway in insects.

Abstract
Studying spin-momentum correlations in hadronic collisions offers a glimpse into a three-dimensional picture of proton structure. The transverse single-spin asymmetry for midrapidity isolated direct photons in p^{↑}+p collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Because direct photons in particular are produced from the hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force, this measurement is a clean probe of initial-state spin-momentum correlations inside the proton and is in particular sensitive to gluon interference effects within the proton. This is the first time direct photons have been used as a probe of spin-momentum correlations at RHIC. The uncertainties on the results are a 50-fold improvement with respect to those of the one prior measurement for the same observable, from the Fermilab E704 experiment. These results constrain gluon spin-momentum correlations in transversely polarized protons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Structural variations (SVs, defined as DNA variants ≥50 bp) have been associated with various complex human diseases. However, research to screen the whole genome for SVs predisposing to psoriasis is still lacking. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association of SVs and psoriasis. METHODS We performed a genome-wide screen on SVs using an imputation method on 5 independent cohorts with 45,386 subjects from the Chinese Han population. Fine mapping analysis, genetic interaction analysis and RNA expression analysis were conducted to explore the mechanism of SVs. RESULTS We obtained 4,535 SVs in total and identified 2 novel deletions (esv3608550, OR=2.73, P<2.00×10-308 ; esv3608542, OR=0.47, P=7.40×10-28 ) at 6q21.33 (MHC), 1 novel Alu element insertion (esv3607339, OR=1.22, P=1.18×10-35 ) at 5q33.3 (IL12B), and confirmed 1 previously reported deletion (esv3587563, OR=1.30, P=9.52×10-60 ) at 1q21.2 (LCE) for psoriasis. Fine mapping analysis including SNPs and small Insertions/Deletions (InDels) revealed that esv3608550 and esv3608542 were independently associated with psoriasis, and a novel independent SNP (rs9378188, OR=1.65, P=3.46×10-38 ) was identified at 6q21.33. By genetic interaction analysis and RNA expression analysis, we speculate that the association of 2 deletions at 6q21.33 with psoriasis might relate to their influence on the expression of HLA-C. CONCLUSIONS Our study constructed the most comprehensive SV map for psoriasis thus far and enriched the genetic architecture and pathogenesis of psoriasis as well as highlighted the nonnegligible impact of SVs on complex diseases.

Abstract
The sulfuryl transfer reaction catalyzed by cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) is one of the major conjugating pathways responsible for the detoxification and subsequent elimination of xenobiotics, however, functional characterization of insect SULTs is still limited. In this study, cDNA encoding a cytosolic sulfotransferase, named TcSULT1, was cloned from the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Sequence analysis revealed that TcSULT1 had the conserved signature sequences of SULTs, and shared moderate amino acid identities with Bombyx mori and Drosophila SULTs. Analysis of the transcription level showed that TcSULT1 was highly expressed in head, epidermis and malpighian tube, and upregulated at 4 h after exposure to deltamethrin. Knockdown of TcSULT1 significantly increased the susceptibility of beetles to deltamethrin. Both RNAi and dual-luciferase assay revealed that the transcription factor TcCncC regulates the expression of TcSULT1. These data provides insights into the function and regulatory mechanism of insect SULTs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Animal studies have demonstrated that myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) gene deficiency leads to premature ovarian failure and decreased reproductive ability in mice. This study investigated the relationship between MCL-1 gene variation and idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) in Chinese women. METHODS A total of 200 idiopathic POI patients and 100 healthy controls were recruited for this study, and peripheral blood was collected. First, genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes. Then, the entire coding region and splice sites of the MCL-1 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. Chi-squared tests were used to compare the genotype distribution and allele frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms between the POI and control groups. RESULTS Three mutations of the MCL-1 gene (c.-36C > T, c.-131C > T and c.78C > T) were identified. After data analysis, c.-36C > T and c.-131C > T in the 5'-untranslated region were both found in the POI group and the control group. No difference was found in the genotype distribution or allelic frequency of either variant between the POI group and the control group (p > 0.05). The synonymous variant (c.78C > T) in exon 1 was discovered in only one of the control subjects and did not result in a change in amino acid sequence (p.Gly26Gly). CONCLUSION MCL-1 gene mutation may not be associated with idiopathic POI in Chinese women.

Abstract
The oxidation of methionine (Met) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes detrimental effects on the protein functions. Methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) is the secondary antioxidant enzyme involved in protein repair, and is divided into two distinct classes, MsrA and MsrB, although the mechanisms underlying the transcriptional regulation of Msrs remain largely unknown. In this study, the full-length cDNAs encoding MsrA and three alternatively spliced isoforms of MsrB were isolated from the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Exposure of female adults to oxidative, heat and cold stresses induced expressions of both MsrA and MsrB. RNAi-mediated knockdown of MsrA and MsrB resulted in increased sensitivity of T. castaneum to paraquat-induced oxidative stress. Treatment with 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) increased expression levels of both MsrA and MsrB. Knockdown of transcription factor forkhead box O (FOXO) decreased both MsrA and MsrB mRNA levels and abolished the induction of MsrA and MsrB by paraquat. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that FOXO directly activates the promoters of both MsrA and MsrB. Moreover, paraquat treatment induced expression of two ecdysone biosynthesis genes, Shade and Phantom, 20E upregulated exoression of FOXO, promoted FOXO nuclear translocation,and knockdown of FOXO abolished induction of MsrA and MsrB expression by 20E, suggesting that regulation of MsrA and MsrB by 20E was mediated by FOXO. Overall, these results provide important insights into the transcriptional regulation of insect Msrs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the different influence of body position on wireless high-resolution anorectal manometry parameters and in classification for chronic constipation patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive patients with chronic constipation and 20 healthy volunteers were included in this study, all of whom accepted the Rome IV constipation questionnaires, underwent rectal balloon expulsion test and wireless high-resolution anorectal manometry. The wireless high-resolution anorectal manometry was performed in the left lateral, seated, and squatting positions for every study subject. The Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 21.0 software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The anal sphincter resting pressure, anal sphincter squeezing pressure, and rectal internal pressure during the evacuation in the seated position and squatting position were significantly higher than those in the left lateral position in both the volunteer group and patient group, without a significant difference between the seated position and squatting position. The initial perception threshold was higher in the patient group than in the volunteer group. The wireless high-resolution anorectal manometry in different positions combined with the rectal balloon expulsion test mainly affects the diagnosis of the subtype of inadequate defecatory propulsion. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the left lateral position test, the wireless high-resolution anorectal manometry in the seated position and squatting positions is more consistent with the human physiological bowel condition, and the result of the test can be affected by the body position. The wireless high-resolution anorectal manometry can differentiate between subtypes during the diagnosis of inadequate defecatory propulsion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) plus chemotherapy (CT) have strikingly expanded the therapeutic landscape for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but little is known about which is superior. We performed a meta-analysis that compared the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor + CT with PD-L1 inhibitor + CT. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and major international scientific meetings were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and the indirect analysis was performed for PD-1 + CT vs PD-L1 + CT. The outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). RESULTS 8 phase III RCTs with 4253 patients comparing PD-1/PD-L1 + CT in NSCLC were included. The PD-1 + CT led to notably longer OS most in low/negative expression of PD-L1 for NSCLC patients compared with PD-L1 + CT. In terms of Grade 3-5 TRAEs, the results showed that PD-1 + CT and PD-L1 + CT exclusively increased the risk of adverse incidence than CT alone, especially for PD-L1 + CT (p < 0.00001). For subgroups including female, young patients, patients with nonsmoker, and EGFR/ALK wild-type, PD-1 + CT was associated with prolonged OS (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, for no liver metastasis of NSCLC patients, we found obviously OS advantage for patients treated with PD-1 + CT compared to PD-L1 + CT. CONCLUSIONS ICIs + CT seemed to be more effective first-line regimen and PD-1 + CT could be recommended as the first-rank therapy for advanced NSCLC patients with low/negative expression of PD-L1. However, we should be particularly vigilant about the occurrence of the Grade 3-5 TRAEs.

Abstract
The 3 major subphenotypes observed in patients with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFCs) are nonsyndromic cleft lip only (NSCLO), nonsyndromic cleft lip with palate (NSCLP), and nonsyndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO). However, the genetic architecture underlying NSCPO is largely unknown. Here we performed a 2-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) on NSCPO and replication analyses of selected variants in other NSOFCs from the Chinese Han population. We identified a novel locus (15q24.3) and a known locus (1q32.2) where variants in or near the gene reached genome-wide significance (2.80 × 10-13 < P < 1.72 × 10-08) in a test for association with NSCPO in a case-control design. Although a variant from 15q24.3 was found to be significantly associated with both NSCPO and NSCLP, the direction of estimated effects on risk were opposite. Our functional annotation of the risk alleles within 15q24.3 coupled with previously established roles of the candidate genes within identified risk loci in periderm development, embryonic patterning, and/or regulation of cellular processes supports their involvement in palate development and the pathogenesis of cleft palate. Our study advances the understanding of the genetic basis of NSOFCs and provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of NSCPO.

Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most common of the neuropathic pains, and it can seriously influence patients' quality of life. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a type of nociceptive neurotransmitter that is expressed in neurons of the trigeminal ganglion and plays a major part in transmitting pain. The rat model of trigeminal neuralgia was established by causing a chronic constriction injury of the infraorbital nerve (CCI-ION). Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=24) were randomly divided into a sham control group (sham, n=6), sham-treated with palmatine group (sham+palmatine, n=6), trigeminal nerve model group (TN, n=6), and trigeminal nerve treated with palmatine group (TN+palmatine, n=6). Fifteen days after the operation the mechanical response threshold was decreased in the TN group compared with the sham group. From postoperative day 7 to day 15, the mechanical response threshold in the TN+palmatine group significantly increased compared with the TN group. On postoperative day 15 the results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), immunohistochemical staining, and western blotting showed an obvious increase in expression of CGRP and its receptors, serum concentrations of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and phosphorylation of protein kinase C (PKC) in the trigeminal ganglia of the TN group compared with the sham group, but these increases could be down-regulated by treatment with palmatine. Palmatine might therefore have therapeutic potential for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia by inhibiting the expression of CGRP and its receptors in trigeminal ganglia, suppressing the serum concentrations of IL-1β and TNF-α, and decreasing the phosphorylation of PKC in the trigeminal ganglia of affected rats.

Abstract
Chitinase is responsible for insect chitin hydrolyzation, which is a key process in insect molting and pupation. However, little is known about the chitinase of Spodoptera exigua (SeChi). In this study, based on the SeChi gene (ADI24346) identified in our laboratory, we constructed the recombinant baculovirus P-Chi for the expression of recombinant SeChi (rSeChi) in Hi5 cells. The rSeChi was purified by chelate affinity chromatography, and the purified protein showed activity comparable with that of a commercial SgChi, suggesting that we harvested active SeChi for the first time. The purified protein was subsequently tested for enzymatic properties and revealed to exhibit its highest activity at pH 8 and 40 C. Using homology modeling and molecular docking techniques, the three-dimensional model of SeChi was constructed and screened for inhibitors. In two rounds of screening, twenty compounds were selected. With the purified rSeChi, we tested each of the twenty compounds for inhibitor activity against rSeChi, and seven compounds showed obvious activity. This study provided new information for the chitinase of beet armyworm and for chitinase inhibitor development.

Abstract
The anthranilic diamide insecticide chlorantraniliprole was widely used for the controlling of Chilo suppressalis in China. Previous studies have revealed sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on the development and reproduction of C. suppressalis. In the present study, a comparative transcriptome analysis was performed to investigate the global gene expression changes in third-instar larvae of C. suppressalis after exposure to LC30 of chlorantraniliprole. A total of 908 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified including 441 up-regulated and 467 down-regulated unigenes. Gene enrichment analysis revealed that the down-regulated DEGs were mainly linked to carbohydrate, energy, lipid and amino acid metabolisms as well as posttranslational modification, while most of the DEGs involved in signal transduction were up-regulated. Specifically, the DEGs encoding detoxification related genes were identified and validated by RT-qPCR. Our results provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms of chlorantraniliprole action and detoxification in C. suppressalis and other insect pests.

Abstract
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has important roles in the regulation of energy metabolism, and AMPK activity and its regulation have been the focus of relevant investigations. However, functional characterization of AMPK is still limited in insects. In this study, the full-length cDNA coding AMPKα (TcAMPKα) was isolated from the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. The TcAMPKα gene contains an ORF of 1581 bp encoding a protein of 526 amino acid residues, which shared conserved domain structure with Drosophila melanogaster and mammalian orthologs. Exposure of female adults to oxidative, heat, and cold stresses caused an increase in TcAMPKα mRNA expression levels and phosphorylation of Thr-173 in the activation loop. The RNAi-mediated knockdown of TcAMPKα resulted in the increased sensitivity of T. castaneum to oxidative, heat, and cold stresses. These results suggest that stress signals regulate TcAMPKα activity, and TcAMPKα plays an important role in enabling protective mechanisms and processes that confer resistance to environmental stress.
