Abstract
Memory reactivation during sleep is thought to facilitate memory consolidation. Most sleep reactivation research has examined how reactivation of specific facts, objects, and associations benefits their overall retention. However, our memories are not unitary, and not all features of a memory persist in tandem over time. Instead, our memories are transformed, with some features strengthened and others weakened. Does sleep reactivation drive memory transformation? We leveraged the Targeted Memory Reactivation technique in an object category learning paradigm to examine this question. Participants (20 female, 14 male) learned three categories of novel objects, where each object had unique, distinguishing features as well as features shared with other members of its category. We used a real-time EEG protocol to cue the reactivation of these objects during sleep at moments optimized to generate reactivation events. We found that reactivation improved memory for distinguishing features while worsening memory for shared features, suggesting a differentiation process. The results indicate that sleep reactivation does not act holistically on object memories, instead supporting a transformation process where some features are enhanced over others.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT This study addresses a critical gap in our understanding of memory consolidation by demonstrating a role for reactivation during sleep in memory transformation. Most research on sleep reactivation has examined how reactivation of specific items benefits retention; the assumption has been that memories are reactivated in whole during sleep and that the entirety of the memory benefits. However, we know that our memories are not unitary elements that improve holistically over time. Instead, they undergo transformation, with some features strengthened and others weakened. We demonstrate that memory reactivation during sleep is causally contributing to this transformation. Our findings provide several novel insights into the dynamics of memory reactivation, advancing our understanding of how sleep shapes memory representations.

Abstract
Efficient intratumoral penetration is essential for nanomedicine to eradicate pancreatic tumors. Although nanomedicine can enter the perivascular space of pancreatic tumors, their access to distal tumor cells, aloof from the vessels, remains a formidable challenge. Here, we synthesized an acid-activatable macromolecular prodrug of floxuridine (FUDR)-poly(FUDR-ketal), engineered a micellar nanomedicine of FUDR, and intravenously co-administered the nanomedicine with the tumor-penetrating peptide iRGD for enhanced treatment of pancreatic tumor. A FUDR-derived mono-isopropenyl ether was synthesized and underwent self-addition polymerization to afford the hydrophobic poly(FUDR-ketal), which was subsequently co-assembled with amphiphilic DSPE-mPEG into the micellar nanomedicine with size of 12 nm and drug content of 56.8 wt% using nanoprecipitation technique. The acetone-based ketal-linked poly(FUDR-ketal) was triggered by acid to release FUDR to inhibit cell proliferation. In an orthotopic pancreatic tumor model derived from KPC (KrasLSL-G12D/+; Trp53LSL-R172H/+; Pdx1-Cre) cells that overexpress neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) receptor, iRGD improved penetration of FUDR nanomedicine into tumor parenchyma and potentiated the therapeutic efficacy. Our nanoplatform, along with iRGD, thus appears to be promising for efficient penetration and activation of acid-responsive nanomedicines for enhanced pancreatic cancer therapy.

Abstract
1. The objective of this study was to explore the mediating role of thyroid hormone-responsive protein (THRSP) in the response of chicken liver to fasting.2. A batch of 7-d-old chicks with similar body weights were randomly divided into the control group and the fasting group (n = 10). The control group was fed ad libitum, while the test group fasted for 24 h. The liver and pectoral muscle tissues were collected. Chicken primary hepatocytes or myocytes were treated with different concentrations of thyroxine, glucose, insulin, oleic acid and palmitic acid, separately. Chicken primary hepatocytes were transfected with THRSP overexpression vector vs. empty vector, and the cells were used for transcriptome analysis. The mRNA expression of THRSP and other genes was determined by quantitative PCR.3. The expression of THRSP in chicken liver and pectoral muscle tissues was significantly inhibited by fasting (P < 0.05). In chicken primary hepatocytes, the expression of THRSP was significantly induced by thyroxine (0.25, 0.5, 1 mmol/l), glucose (50, 100 mmol/l), and insulin (20 nmol/l), and was significantly inhibited by palmitic acid (0.125, 0.25 mmol/l). In the myocytes, expression of THRSP was significantly induced by thyroxine (0.25, 0.5, 1 mmol/l), glucose (50 mmol/l) and oleic acid (0.125, 0.25 mmol/l), was significantly inhibited by insulin (5 nmol/l) and was not significantly affected by palmitic acid.4. Transcriptome analysis showed that overexpression of THRSP significantly affected the expression of 1411 DEGs, of which 1007 were up-regulated and 404 were down-regulated. The GO term and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses showed that these DEGs were mainly enriched in the interaction between cytokine and cytokine receptor and its regulation and signal transduction, cell growth and apoptosis and its regulation, immune response and retinol metabolism.5. In conclusion, the THRSP gene mediates biological effects of fasting by influencing the expressional regulation of the genes related to biological processes such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, cell growth and apoptosis, immune response, retinol metabolism, including TGM2, HSD17B2, RUNX3, IRF1, ANKRD6, UPP2, IKBKE, and PYCR1 genes, in chicken liver.

Abstract
Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a severe condition characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death, often leading to irreversible vision loss, and the death of RGCs is closely associated with oxidative stress. Unfortunately, effective treatment options for TON are lacking. To address this, catalase (CAT) is encapsulated in a tannic acid (TA)/poly(ethylenimine)-crosslinked hollow nanoreactor (CAT@PTP), which exhibited enhanced anchoring in the retina due to TA-collagen adhesion. The antioxidative activity of both CAT and TA synergistically eliminated reactive oxygen species (ROS) to save RGCs in the retina, thereby treating TON. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the nanoreactors preserve the enzymatic activity of CAT and exhibit high adhesion to type I collagen. The combination of CAT and TA-based nanoreactors enhanced ROS elimination while maintaining high biocompatibility. In an optic nerve crush rat model, CAT@PTP is effectively anchored to the retina via TA-collagen adhesion after a single vitreous injection, and RGCs are significantly preserved without adverse events. CAT@PTP exhibited a protective effect on retinal function. Given the abundance of collagen that exists in ocular tissues, these findings may contribute to the further application of this multifunctional nanoreactor in ocular diseases to improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce adverse effects.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to critically evaluate the diagnostic yields of direct immunofluorescence (DIF) analysis on perilesional and normal-appearing mucosa biopsy samples, to determine the optimal biopsy site for patients presenting with oral pemphigus vulgaris (PV) or mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP). Electronic databases and article bibliographies were searched in December 2022. The primary outcome was the rate of DIF positivity. Of 374 records identified after the elimination of duplicates, 21 studies with 1027 samples were ultimately included. Meta-analysis revealed a pooled DIF positivity rate of 99.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 97.4-100.0%, I2 = 0%) for PV and 92.6% (95% CI 87.9-96.5%, I2 = 44%) for MMP for biopsies from perilesional sites, and of 95.4% (95% CI 88.6-99.5%, I2 = 0%) for PV and 94.1% (95% CI 86.5-99.2%, I2 = 42%) for MMP for biopsies from normal-appearing sites. For MMP, there was no significant difference in the rate of DIF positivity between the two biopsy sites (odds ratio 1.91, 95% CI 0.91-4.01, I2 = 0%). The results suggest that the perilesional mucosa remains the optimal biopsy site for DIF diagnosis of oral PV, while the normal-appearing mucosa biopsy is optimal for oral MMP.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The proportion of adenocarcinoma in cervical cancer gradually increased and presented a younger trend. The previous pathological classification of cervical adenocarcinoma is difficult to provide reference for clinical treatment. In recent years, Silva classification, a new pathologic system for cervical adenocarcinoma, has been confirmed to be suitable for HPV-associated adenocarcinoma (HPVA), and has shown certain clinical application value in subsequent studies. Therefore, this study will retrospectively analyze the distribution of Silva typing system in patients with HPVA under standard treatment mode and its relationship with prognosis and survival. MATERIALS/METHODS From January 2010 to September 2021, 124 cervical adenocarcinoma patients with HPVA were retrospectively included, who underwent radical resection of cervical cancer. The HE staining sections of the patients were divided into SilvaA, SilvaB, and SilvaC types according to the Silva typing system. Kaplan-Meier calculation was used for single-factor analysis, and COX stepwise regression model was used for multi-factor analysis. RESULTS Of the 124 patients with HPVA who could be graded according to the Silva system, 16 (12.9%, 16/124) were SilvaA, 27 (21.7%, 27/124) SilvaB, and 81 (65.4%, 81/124) SilvaC. In Silva classification, FIGO staging of Silva A and B was stage I. And FIGO staging of Silva C was more significantly later than the staging of Silva A and B. All lymph node metastases and paruterine infiltrates were found only in Silva C. In addition, the patients with Silva C large mass accounted for a higher proportion (41.7%). SilvaA type cervical adenocarcinoma patients were in a survival state by the end of follow-up. Among Silva B, 3 patients died due to tumor, and the 5-year OS rate were 91.3%. Among SilvaC, 15 patients died due to tumor, and the 5-year OS rate were 76.5%. FIGO stage and lymph node invasion were the influencing factors for survival and prognosis of Silva classification (P <0.05). FIGO stage, tumor size, lymph node invasion, and paralegal invasion were the influencing factors for survival and prognosis of SilvaC patients (P <0.05). CONCLUSION Silva model classification system combined with clinicopathological features has certain clinical value for the prognostic guidance of HPVA patients. Among Silva classification, SilvaC had the worst prognosis. Late FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, and paralegal infiltration are the influencing factors for survival and prognosis of SilvaC type.

Abstract
Although polymer-drug conjugates (PDCs) show great promise as versatile drug delivery systems, no antitumor PDCs based on small-molecule drugs are currently on the market, partly because of the lack of validated design principles for PDCs. High drug content is thought to be essential for devising highly efficacious PDCs based on poorly soluble antitumor drugs, but this has not been well validated. Therefore, revisiting the relationship between drug content and PDC performance is vital. In this study, we synthesized four dextran-paclitaxel (PTX) conjugates (designated as DKPs) with different drug contents by linking dextran and PTX via an acid-responsive ketal, and we used the conjugates to construct self-assembled DKP nanoparticles (NPs) for antitumor therapy. We focused on how PTX content influenced the hydrolysis kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and intracellular hydrolysis, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and antitumor efficacies of the DKP NPs. We found that DKP NPs with lower PTX content showed accelerated drug release and increased tumor accumulation, and consequently enhanced antitumor efficacy. In 4 T1-Luc and Panc02-Luc cancer models, the NPs showed considerably improved therapeutic efficacy than the micellar formulation of PTX that is currently in clinical use. Our results indicate that DKP NPs with lower PTX content possess greater antitumor potential, and our findings offer new insights for the connection of drug content-formulation-bioactivity relationship in the rational design of PDC prodrugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation of polymorphisms of AF4/FMR2 family genes and IL-10 gene with genetic susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and identify the high-risk factors of AS. METHODS This case-control study was conducted among 207 AS patients and 321 healthy individuals. The tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs340630, rs241084, rs10865035, rs1698105, and rs1800896 of the AF4/FMR2 family gene and IL-10 gene of the AS patients were genotyped, and the distribution frequencies of the genotypes and alleles were analyzed to explore the relationship between different genetic models and AS and the gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. RESULTS Gender ratio, smoking history, drinking history, hypertension, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein differed significantly between the case group and the control group (P < 0.05). The dominant model and recessive model of AFF1 rs340630, the recessive model of AFF3 rs10865035, and the recessive model of IL-10 rs1800896 were significantly different between the two groups (P=0.031, 0.010, 0.031, and 0.019, respectively). Gene-environment interaction analysis suggested that the interaction model incorporating AFF1 rs340630, AFF2 rs241084, AFF3 rs10865035, AFF4 rs1698105, IL-10 rs1800896, smoking history and drinking history was the best model. The genes related with AF4/FMR2 and IL-10 were enriched in the biological processes of AF4 super extension complex, interleukin family signal transduction, cytokine stimulation and apoptosis. The expression levels of AF4/FMR2 and IL-10 were positively correlated with immune infiltration (r > 0). CONCLUSION The SNPs of AF4/FMR2 and IL-10 genes are associated with the susceptibility to AS, and the interactions of AF4/FMR2 and IL-10 genes with the environmental factors contributes causes AS through immune infiltration.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of the MeltPro MTB assays in the diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to retrospectively collect all 4 551 patients with confirmed tuberculosis between January 2018 and December 2019 at Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University. Phenotypic drug sensitivity test and GeneXpert MTB/RIF (hereafter referred to as "Xpert") assay were used as gold standards to analyze the accuracy of the probe melting curve method. The clinical value of this technique was also evaluated as a complementary method to conventional assays of drug resistance to increase the detective rate of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Results: By taking the phenotypic drug susceptibility test as the gold standard, the sensitivity of the MeltPro MTB assays to detect resistance to rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and fluoroquinolone was 14/15, 95.7%(22/23), 2/4 and 8/9,respectively; and the specificity was 92.0%(115/125), 93.2%(109/117), 90.4%(123/136) and 93.9%(123/131),respectively; the overall concordance rate was 92.1%(95%CI:89.6%-94.1%),and the Kappa value of the consistency test was 0.63(95%CI:0.55-0.72).By taking the Xpert test results as the reference, the sensitivity of this technology to the detection of rifampicin resistance was 93.6%(44/47), the specificity was100%(310/310), the concordance rate was 99.2%(95%CI:97.6%-99.7%), and the Kappa value of the consistency test was 0.96(95%CI:0.93-0.99). The MeltPro MTB assays had been used in 4 551 confirmed patients; the proportion of patients who obtained effective drug resistance results increased from 83.3% to 87.8%(P<0.01); and detection rate of rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, fluoroquinolone resistance, multidrug and pre-extensive drug resistance cases were increased by 3.2%, 14.7%, 22.2%, 13.7%, 11.2% and 12.5%, respectively. Conclusion: The MeltPro MTB assays show satisfactory accuracy in the diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis. This molecular pathological test is an effective complementary method in improving test positivity of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Abstract
The desmoplastic stroma imposes a fatal physical delivery barrier in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) therapy. Deconstructing the stroma components hence predominates in stroma-targeting approaches, but conflicting outcomes have sometimes occurred due to the multifaceted nature of the stroma. Here, we constructed two sub-20-nm nanomedicines based on a so-called "next-wave" antifibrotic halofuginone (HF) and the tumoricidal paclitaxel (PTX) for enhanced PDAC chemotherapy. This was achieved by coassembling methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(caprolactone) with ketal-linked HF- and PTX-derived prodrugs. HF nanomedicine and PTX nanomedicine had excellent prodrug-nanocarrier compatibility and exhibited greatly improved pharmacokinetic profiles and high tumor accumulation. HF nanomedicine pretreatment restored stromal homeostasis and considerably facilitated the distribution of PTX nanomedicine and its penetration into carcinoma cells, leading to positive modulation of the infiltration of cytotoxic T cells and significant regression of tumor growth in two PDAC models. Our nanomedicine-based stromal remodeling strategy appears promising for treating desmoplastic malignancies.

Abstract
The regime of self-compression has been proposed for plasma-based backward Raman amplification upon a flying focus. By using a pumping focus moving with a speed equal to the group velocity of stimulated Raman backscattering (SRBS), only a short part of SRBS which always synchronizes with the flying focus can be amplified. Therefore, instead of a short pulse, plasma noise or a long pulse can seed the BRA amplifiers. Here we demonstrate the regime by 2D particle-in-cell simulations, showing that the pump pulse is compressed from 26 ps to 116 fs, with an output amplitude comparable with the case of a well-synchronized short seed. As only one laser pulse is used in the simulation, the results present a significant path to simplify the Raman amplifiers.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of SPAG6 silencing and decitabine on apoptosis and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) methylation in SKM-1 cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: SKM-1 cells were transfected with a lentiviral vector to silence the expression of SPAG6. Cell survival rate was detected by CCK8 after treatment with decitabine, and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Protein expression and methylation of PTEN were detected using Western blot and merozoite surface protein (MSP) . An non-obese diabetic/severe combined inmunodeficiency disease (NOD/SCID) mice xenograft tumor model was established, and the apoptosis and PTEN expression of tumor tissue were observed through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) , respectively. Results: After lentivirus transfection, SPAG6 in the interference group was silenced successfully. CCK8 results indicated that the cell survival rate of SKM-1 cells treated with decitabine decreased. Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate of cells treated with decitabine [ (17.35±3.37) %] was higher than that of the untreated group (5.09%±2.06%) and the apoptosis rate of the SPAG6 silencing combined with the decitabine treatment group was the highest [ (36.34±4.00) %]. After treatment with decitabine, the expression of DNMT1 decreased, while the expression of PTEN increased, and the promoter methylation degree of PTEN also decreased. Moreover, the increased protein level caused by PTEN demethylation was the most obvious in the SPAG6 in the interference shRNA group treated with decitabine. In NOD/SCID mice, the tumor volume of the decitabine group was significantly smaller than that of the placebo group, and the tumor volume of the SPAG6 silencing combined with the decitabine treatment group was the smallest. Additionally, the apoptosis rate was the highest (the positive ratio was 3.57±0.48) . Conclusion: SPAG6 silencing may enhance the apoptosis level and the effect of PTEN demethylation in SKM-1 cells and enhance the antitumor effect of decitabine in the NOD/SCID xenograft mouse model.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the diagnostic value of superb microvacular imaging (SMI) in renal solid tumors of different sizes. Methods: A total of 142 patients with 146 renal tumors detected by ultrasound in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from September 2017 to March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The maximum diameter of lesions was 0.8-7.3 cm, and patients were divided into the maximum diameter ≤3.0 cm group (61 patients, 64 lesions) and the maximum diameter >3.0 cm group (61 patients, 82 lesions). All of the tumors were separately evaluated by SMI and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) with Adler grade, vascular morphology and peripheral blood flow. Results: In the group with maximum diameter ≤3.0 cm, 50 lesions were malignant and 14 were benign. In the group with maximum diameter >3.0 cm, 62 lesions were malignant and 20 were benign. In the group with maximum diameter ≤3.0 cm, there were no significant differences in location, boundary, echo, homogeneity and small cystic area between malignant tumors and benign tumors (P>0.05). In the group with maximum diameter >3.0 cm, there were significant differences in echo, homogeneity and small cystic area between malignant tumors and benign tumors (P<0.05). For all of the benign tumors, there were no significant difference between CDFI and SMI in evaluating Adler grade, vascular morphology and peripheral blood flow (P>0.05). For malignant tumors with maximum diameter ≤3.0 cm, 43 lesions with Adler grade 2-3 were detected by SMI, which was higher than CDFI (32, P<0.05). There were 38 lesions with dendritic and irregular vascular morphology detected by SMI, which was higher than CDFI (7, P<0.05). The detected rate of peripheral annular or semi-annular blood flow in lesions was 80.0% (40/50), higher than CDFI (18/50, P<0.05). While in malignant tumors with maximum diameter >3 cm, the lesion with peripheral annular or semi-annular blood flow detected by SMI was 38, higher than 22 of CDFI (P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for CDFI and SMI diagnosis of renal solid tumors with the maximum diameter ≤3.0 cm was 0.627 (sensitivity: 54.0%, specificity: 71.4%) and 0.791 (sensitivity: 94.0%, specificity: 64.3%), respectively, with statistically significant difference (P=0.039). The area under the ROC curve for CDFI and SMI diagnosis of renal solid tumors with the maximum diameter>3.0 cm was 0.852 (sensitivity: 85.5%, specificity: 85.0%) and 0.860 (sensitivity: 91.9%, specificity: 80.0%), respectively, without statistically significance (P=0.858). Conclusions: SMI is superior to CDFI in detecting low-velocity blood flow and microvessels in both malignant and benign renal tumors, and can effectively improve the display rate of peripheral blood flow in malignant tumors. Otherwise, SMI can provide better diagnostic efficiency for renal tumors with the maximum diameter ≤3.0 cm.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety of humanized anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor modified (BCMA CAR) -T cell therapy after disease progression with their murine BCMA CAR-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) . Methods: Study participants underwent leukapheresis to collect T cells for BCMA CAR-T manufacturing. Patients were pretreated with intensive chemotherapy (fludarabine combined with cytarabine) before CAR-T therapy. Adverse events (AEs) , CAR DNA expansion, and cytokine were monitored. In vitro, transfection efficacy, specific cytotoxicity, and inflammatory response were detected when co-cultured with effector and target cells. Results: Patient (PT) 1 and 2 achieved complete remission (CR) and disease stability at 3 months post murine CAR-T therapy. However, 16 and 18 months later, they experienced progression of disease (PD) , and patient 1 presented with extramedullary disease at PD. Both of the patients received humanized CAR-T therapy and achieved partial remission (PR) and very good partial remission (VGPR) post humanized CAR-T therapy. PT1 achieved CR of the soft tissue masses at 4 months post humanized CAR-T therapy. Notably, the median peak of the BCMA CAR-T cells, copy of BCMA CAR gene, persistence of BCMA CAR-T, and the peak levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α were higher in humanized CAR-T therapy than those in the murine CAR-T therapy. During the murine CAR-T therapy, both of the patients experienced grade 1 CRS and no ICANS. PT1 experienced grade 3 CRS and grade 2 ICANS during humanized CAR-T therapy, which were relieved by supportive care. Grade 2 CRS was observed for patient 2 during humanized CAR-T therapy. Humanized BCMA CAR-T cells showed a higher inflammatory response and in vitro cytotoxicity than that of murine BCMA CAR-T cells with effector/targets cells at 1∶1 over 48 hours (P<0.001) . The proportions of residual cells in humanized BCMA CAR-T and murine CAR-T were (17.38±5.18) % vs (28.27±4.58) %, (13.25±1.62) % vs (22.77±1.77) % for PT1 and PT2, respectively. Conclusions: The humanized BCMA CAR-T cell therapy was efficient and safe for patients who experienced progression of disease after the murine CAR-T therapy, especially for patients with extramedullary disease.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the characteristics and cytotoxicity in vitro of the residual leukemia cells in the culture system that caused the accidental transfer of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) into leukemia cells during the preparation of autologous CD19 CAR-T cells of relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Methods: ①Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 30 patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic anemia (R/R B-ALL) who accepted CD19 CAR-T cell therapy and six healthy volunteers were collected. ②The residual leukemia cells were analyzed by flow cytometry in the system after the PBMCs of R/R B-ALL patients were sorted by CD3 magnetic beads. ③ CD3(+) T cells from patients and healthy volunteers were transfected with CD19 CAR and CD22 CAR lentivirus to prepare CD19 CAR-T and CD22 CAR-T cells. ④The Nalm-6 cell line was resuscitated and the Nalm-6 cells with CD19 CAR lentivirus were transfected to prepare CD19 CAR-Nalm-6 cells. The patient's primary ALL cells were transfected with CD19 CAR lentivirus at the same time. ⑤The transfection rates were analyzed by flow cytometer, the cell proliferation was analyzed by the CCK-8 method, and the cell-killing activities were detected by the lactate dehydrogenase method. Results: ① Among the 30 R/R B-ALL patients who received CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, two patients had 2.04% and 3.32% residual leukemia cells in CD3(+) T cells. After 4 days in culture, the residual leukemia cells disappeared and could not be detected by a flow cytometer with prolonged cultivation in vitro. ② The proliferation of CD19 CAR-Nalm-6 cells was higher than that of the Nalm-6 cells. ③ The killing activity of the CD19 CAR-T cells on Nalm-6 cells was higher than that of the CD19 CAR-Nalm6 cells at a target ratio of 1∶1 on 24, 48, 72 h, respectively. The cytotoxicity of CD22 CAR-T cells on CD19 CAR-Nalm-6 cells was significantly higher than that of CD19 CAR-T cells. ④ The cytotoxicity of CD22 CAR-T alone on CD19 CAR-Nalm-6 cells was higher than that of CD19 CAR-T combined with CD22 CAR-T at the same target ratio. Conclusion: The residual leukemia cells in the culture system in the preparation of CD19 CAR-T cells may lead to the introduction of CD19 CAR into leukemia cells and results in the failure of the CD19 CAR-T cell therapy. Detecting the residual leukemia cells in the culture system via flow cytometry before transfection with CD19 CAR lentivirus is needed. Thus, CD22 CAR-T cell therapy could be used as one of the salvage treatments.

Abstract
Objective: To establish an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnostic system for lung cancer via deep transfer learning. Methods: The researchers collected 519 lung pathologic slides from 2016 to 2019, covering various lung tissues, including normal tissues, adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma, from the Beijing Chest Hospital, the Capital Medical University. The slides were digitized by scanner, and 316 slides were used as training set and 203 as the internal test set. The researchers labeled all the training slides by pathologists and establish a semantic segmentation model based on DeepLab v3 with ResNet-50 to detect lung cancers at the pixel level. To perform transfer learning, the researchers utilized the gastric cancer detection model to initialize the deep neural network parameters. The lung cancer detection convolutional neural network was further trained by fine-tuning of the labeled data. The deep learning model was tested by 203 slides in the internal test set and 1 081 slides obtained from TCIA database, named as the external test set. Results: The model trained with transfer learning showed substantial accuracy advantage against the one trained from scratch for the internal test set [area under curve (AUC) 0.988 vs. 0.971, Kappa 0.852 vs. 0.832]. For the external test set, the transferred model achieved an AUC of 0.968 and Kappa of 0.828, indicating superior generalization ability. By studying the predictions made by the model, the researchers obtained deeper understandings of the deep learning model. Conclusions: The lung cancer histopathological diagnostic system achieves higher accuracy and superior generalization ability. With the development of histopathological AI, the transfer learning can effectively train diagnosis models and shorten the learning period, and improve the model performance.

Abstract
Tripartite motif-containing protein 24 (TRIM24) has currently emerged as a crucial cancer-related gene present in a wide range of human cancer types. However, the involvement of TRIM24 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not been well investigated. The present study aims to investigate the significance, cellular function, and potential regulatory mechanism of TRIM24 in AML. We found that TRIM24 expression was significantly upregulated in AML compared with normal tissues. AML patients with low expression of TRIM24 had higher survival rates than those expressing TRIM24 at higher levels. High expression of TRIM24 was also detected in AML cells and its knockdown markedly restricted proliferation and promoted apoptosis in AML cells. Further investigation revealed that TRIM24 contributed to the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which was associated with modulating the phosphorylation status of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). Inactivation of GSK-3β partially reversed the TRIM24 knockdown-mediated antitumor effects observed in AML cells. Furthermore, knockdown of TRIM24 retarded the growth of AML-derived xenograft tumors in nude mice in vivo. Overall, these findings demonstrate that knockdown of TRIM24 impedes the AML tumor growth through the modulation of Wnt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling. These findings highlight the potential TRIM24 as an attractive anticancer target to treat AML.

Abstract
Paclitaxel is one of the most widely used anticancer agents, but strong side effects and low bioavailability limit its clinical efficacy. The use of tumor microenvironment-responsive prodrugs is promising to solve these problems, and a smart linkage is crucial to achieve the efficient release of paclitaxel from such prodrugs in tumor. Herein, an acid-responsive acetone-based acyclic ketal linkage is used to construct paclitaxel prodrugs with different length of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The PEGylated acetone-based acyclic-ketal-linked prodrugs of paclitaxel (PKPs) self-assembled into nanoparticles that were stable in normal physiological environment but released paclitaxel rapidly in mildly acidic environment in tumor. The length of PEG had considerable impact on size and critical micelle concentration of PKP nanoparticles, thereby affecting prodrug hydrolysis kinetics, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and antitumor activity for PKP nanoparticles. In an A2780 xenograft mouse model, PKP nanoparticles displayed improved pharmacokinetics and superior antitumor efficacy against Taxol. Our results demonstrate that acyclic-ketal-based prodrugs are useful for the development of acid-responsive anticancer nanomedicines.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features of non-tuberculosis mycobacterial lung disease and the role of molecular pathology in diagnosis. Methods: Forty-five formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens were collected from the Department of Pathology, Beijing Chest Hospital from February 2016 to August 2019. The clinical, imaging and histopathologic features, bacteriologic data and morphologic characteristics of acid fast bacilli (AFB) were analyzed retrospectively. Specific gene sequence IS6110 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) was detected by fluorescence PCR. Identification of Mycobacteria was by melting curve method. Fifty cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were selected in the same period as control. Results: The NTM lung cases included 18 cases (40.0%, 18/45) of M. intracellulare, eight cases (17.8%, 8/45) of M. xenopi, six cases (13.3%, 6/45) of M. avium, six cases (13.3%, 6/45) of M. kansasii, six cases (13.3%, 6/45) of M. chelonae and one case (2.2%, 1/45) of M. simiae. Histopathologically, there were necrotizing granulomas in 34 cases (75.6%, 34/45), non-necrotizing granuloma in one case (2.2%, 1/45) and non-granulomatous lesions in 10 cases (22.2%, 10/45). The necrosis was pink necrosis, basophilic necrosis rich in nuclear fragments and suppurative necrosis. Pulmonary TB showed more pink necrosis and basophilic necrosis, the difference was statistically significant (χ(2)=10.270, P=0.001; χ(2)=7.449, P=0.006). Seventeen cases (37.8%, 17/45) of NTM lung disease showed giant multinucleated giant cells, which were significantly different from those in pulmonary tuberculosis group (χ(2)=13.446, P<0.01). The number and morphology of AFB were also different. More AFB were found in M. intracellular cases and significant AFB were easily seen in M. kansasii infection. Conclusions: M. tuberculosis and NTM cannot be reliably differentiated by histologic features or by AFB morphology. Molecular assays are important to distinguish tuberculosis from NTM lung disease.

Abstract
Continuous irradiation during photodynamic therapy (PDT) inevitably induces tumor hypoxia, thereby weakening the PDT effect. In PDT-induced hypoxia, providing singlet oxygen from stored chemical energy may enhance the cell-killing effect and boost the therapeutic effect. Herein, we present a phototheranostic (DPPTPE@PEG-Py NPs) prepared by using a 2-pyridone-based diblock polymer (PEG-Py) to encapsulate a semiconducting, heavy-atom-free pyrrolopyrrolidone-tetraphenylethylene (DPPTPE) with high singlet-oxygen-generation ability both in dichloromethane and water. The PEG-Py can trap the 1 O2 generated from DPPTPE under laser irradiation and form a stable intermediate of endoperoxide, which can then release 1 O2 in the dark, hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, fluorescence-imaging-guided phototherapy demonstrates that this phototheranostic could completely inhibit tumor growth with the help of laser irradiation.

Abstract
Given the physically encapsulated payloads with drug burst release and/or low drug loading, it is critical to initiate an innovative prodrug strategy to optimize the design of modular nanomedicines. Here, we designed modular pH-sensitive acetone-based ketal-linked prodrugs of dexamethasone (AKP-dexs) and formulated them as nanoparticles. We comprehensively studied the relationships between AKP-dex structure and properties, and we selected two types of AKP-dex-loaded nanoparticles for in vivo studies on the basis of their size, drug loading, and colloidal stability. In a collagen-induced arthritis rat model, these AKP-dex-loaded nanoparticles showed higher accumulation in inflamed joints and better therapeutic efficacy than free dexamethasone phosphate with less-severe side effects. AKP-dex-loaded nanoparticles may be useful for treating other inflammatory diseases and thus have great translational potential. Our findings represent an important step toward the development of practical applications for acetone-based ketal-linked prodrugs and are useful in the design of modular nanomedicines.

Abstract
Abstract
Fourteen laboratories from 6 countries and regions participated in an international collaborative study to evaluate a multiresidue gas chromatographic (GC) method for determining 8 synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in grains, fruits, and vegetables. The study design was based on Youden’s matched-pairs principle for collaborative tests of analytical methods. Each laboratory analyzed 12 collaborative samples of wheat, oranges, and tomatoes as blind samples. Wheat samples were extracted with acetonitrile–water (2 + 1), while orange and tomato samples were extracted with acetone. Residues were partitioned into hexane, evaporated to dryness with a rotary evaporator, and then dissolved in hexane. The hexane extract was partitioned with acetonitrile and cleaned up on a 5% water-deactivated Florisil column with 6% ethyl ether in hexane as eluant. Residue concentrations were determined by GC with electron capture detection with split-less injection by comparison with single-point calibration standards. The appropriate standard concentration was determined by screening sample extracts before analysis. The multiresidue method was tested over the concentration range of 0.0951.909 mg/kg depending on the 8 different of pesticides and agricultural products analyzed in the collaborative study. Statistical analysis of data from 13 laboratories showed weighted average recoveries for 8 pyrethroids in wheat, oranges, and tomatoes at 0.105–1.909,0.095–1.909, and 0.105–0.954 mg/kg, respectively, ranging from 91.8 to 100.2%, from 88.1 to 100.6%, and from 88.2 to 101.5%, respectively. Reproducibility relative standard deviation values ranged from 6.46 to 17.74%, from 5.94 to 18.13%, and from 5.59 to 10.48%, respectively. Repeatability relative standard deviation values ranged from 6.34 to 10.84%, from 5.19 to 11.72%, and from 3.20 to 8.09%, respectively. The multiresidue GC method for determining synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in agricultural products has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract
Objective: To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of modified cell infusion method in reducing the incidence of febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR). Methods: A total of 69 patients were enrolled in the clinical trial of CD(19) chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell treatment from February 2017 to October 2018. Study group received the modified cell infusion method, that 1×10(6) CAR-T cells were re-suspended in 2 mg human serum albumin with total volume of 20 ml and injected intravenously. The control group was intravenously administrated with CAR-T cell in 100 ml normal saline. The incidence of FNHTR, cytokine releasing syndrome (CRS) grade, cytokine level and efficacy were compared. Results: (1)The incidence of FNHTR in the study group was 21.1%, significantly lower than that in the control group (71%)(P=0.000). (2)There was no statistical difference in cell proliferation between the study group and the control group on day 4, 7, 14 and 21 after CAR-T cell infusion (P=10.223, 3.254, 5.551, 7.605). (3)There was no statistical difference in CRS grading between the study group and the control group (P=0.767). There was no statistical difference in the levels of interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α between the two groups. (4)The C-reaction protein (CRP) level of the study group was lower than that of the control group on day 4 and 7 (P=0.026, 0.007). (5)There was no statistical difference of response rates in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients between the two groups (P(ALL)=0.842; P(NHL)=0.866). Conclusion: The modified cell infusion method in CD(19) CAR-T cell treatment reduces the incidence of treatment-related FNHTR. It does not affect the proliferation of CAR-T cells in vivo, the grading of CRS and the response rates.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and contrast- enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in differential diagnosis of small renal masses. Methods: A total of 84 patients with 86 lesions of renal masses were collected from October 2016 to March 2018 in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. There were 56 males and 28 females,aged from 29 to 76 years old,with an average age of (54±10) years old. These tumors were all examined by using SMI and CEUS. And the imaging diagnostic results were compared based on the pathological results. Adler semi quantitative analysis of blood flow grading of the tumors were evaluated in SMI,and the evaluation standard was as follows:0-1 grade was benign, 2-3 grade was malignant. Besides,the patterns and enhancement of the small renal masses were observed in CEUS. The main diagnostic criteria of malignant tumors were "fast forward" , "rapid regression" and "high perfusion" . Some special types of renal cell carcinoma were diagnosed by "slow in" , "rapid regression" and "hypo-perfusion" . Benign tumors were diagnosed by "slow in" , "slow down" and "hypo-perfusion" . Results: Among 86 cases, 76 cases were confirmed as malignant masses and 10 cases were confirmed as benign masses by pathological diagnosis. By SMI, Adler grade of 89.5% (68/76) malignant tumors were 2-3, Adler grade of 6/10 benign tumors were 0-1. By CEUS, 77.6% (59/76) of malignant tumors were "fast forward" , 82.9% (63/76) were "rapid regression" , 76.3% (58/76) were "high perfusion" ; 7/10 of benign tumors were "slow in" , 5/10 were "slow down" and 6/10 were "low perfusion" . The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and AUC of SMI were 86.0%,89.5%, 60.0%, 94.4%,42.9% and 0.747 respectively. The values for CEUS were 89.5%, 92.1%, 70.0%,95.9%, 53.8% and 0.811 respectively.There was no statistical difference in diagnostic efficacy between CEUS and SMI (P=0.288). Conclusions: Although there is no statistical significance between SMI and CEUS, the accuracy, sensitivity and positive predictive value of SMI in the diagnosis of small renal masses are higher,which can clearly show micro-vessels and exquisitely detect the low-velocity blood flow in small renal masses. In brief,SMI provides a new method in the differential diagnosis of small renal masses.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the function and molecular mechanism of Timeless in promoting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth. Methods: The expression of Timeless in HCC and paracancer tissues were analyzed by using the public data of HCC. Timeless was overexpressed in MHCC97L cells and silenced in MHCC97H cells, respectively, and the expression of Timeless and its downstream molecules were detected by real-time PCR and western blot. The effects of Timeless on cell glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation and proliferation were detected by the glucose uptake experiment, lactic acid detection experiment, the extracellular fluid pH detection experiment, cell oxygen consumption test and cell viability assay, respectively. Results: The level of Timeless in HCC tissue was significantly higher than that of paracancer tissue (P<0.05). The relative cellular glucose uptake levels in the groups of Timeless knockdown, including siTimeless-1 and siTimeless-2 group were 0.510±0.119 and 0.508±0.099, respectively, significantly different from that of control group (P<0.05); The relative cellular uptake level of Timeless overexpressed group was 1.953±0.324, significantly different from that of vector transfected group (P<0.05). The relative levels of lactic acid production in the siTimeless-1 and siTimeless-2 group were 0.579±0.096 and 0.550±0.120, respectively, significantly different from that of control group (P<0.05); The relative production level of lactic acid in the Timeless overexpressed group was 1.463±0.179, significantly different that of vector transfected group (P<0.05). The extracellular pH values of siTimeless-1 and siTimeless-2 group were 7.390±0.035 and 7.370±0.060, respectively, significantly different from that of control group (P<0.05); the extracellular pH value of Timeless overexpressed group was 7.130±0.031, significantly different than vector transfected group (P<0.05). Oxygen consumption rate of siTimeless-1 and siTimeless-2 group were 3.686±0.389 and 3.955±0.431, respectively, significantly higher than 1.690±0.297 of control group (P<0.05); Oxygen consumption rate of Timeless overexpressed group was 1.302±0.336, significantly lower than 3.185±0.262 of vector transfected group (P<0.05) Timeless inhibited the expression of p53. The cell glucose uptake, lactic acid production, the pH of extracellular culture medium and cell oxygen consumption of control group were not significantly different from that of Timeless and p53 co-silenced group [(si-Timeless+sip53) group] (P>0.05); the glucose uptake, the production of lactic acid, the pH of the extracellular culture medium and the oxygen consumption of Timeless co-transfected with p53 (Timeless+p53) group were not significantly different from those of vector transfected group (P>0.05). Timeless promoted the proliferation of HCC cells through inhibiting the expression of p53. Conclusion: Timeless promotes reprogramming of glucose metabolism and proliferation of HCC cells by inhibiting the p53-dependent signaling pathway.

Abstract
It has been proved that hyperuricemia is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor, febuxostat, decreases free fatty acids-induced fat accumulation in HFDT-fed mice. Here, it is shown that febuxostat attenuates fat accumulation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HepG2 cells. It was further found that the underlying mechanism is related to the reduction in expression of NLRP3/caspase-1/IL-18/IL-1beta and improved insulin resistance (IR). This finding highlights the possible molecular pathways involving NLRP3 activation for management of ROS and insulin IR. In conclusion, febuxostat may be a promising potential treatment for patients with NAFLD.

The Guan-Xin-Shu-Tong capsule (GXSTC) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine that is used for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Despite its common use in China, basic pharmacological research on its active components is limited. A comprehensive analytical method using quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF/MS), specifically with the Triple TOF 5600 platform, was developed to characterize the compounds in the GXSTC powder itself (in vitro) as well as the active components in healthy and heart disease model rats after its oral administration (in vivo). The 5600 platform was operated in both positive and negative ion modes, before the raw data were processed using the extracted ion chromatography (EIC), mass defect filtering (MDF) and fragment filtering (FF) techniques. With the aid of reference compounds for retention time and fragment ion comparisons, 18 compounds were unambiguously identified in vitro. An additional 56 other compounds were tentatively characterized using the accurate quasi-molecular ion mass and Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) fragmentation pattern strategies. Among them, 30 compounds were characterized based on the MDF and FF approaches. Normal rats in addition to hyperlipidemic (HL) and acute blood stasis (ABS) model rats were given a single oral dose of GXSTC solution for subsequent blood analysis at 1 and 2 h after administration. A total of 24 prototypecomponents and 20 metabolites derived from GXSTC were differentially detected across the three animal groups, including the absence of four phase II phenolic acid metabolites in the ABS group and the presence of three diterpenoid-related metabolites exclusive to the HL group. The use of reference compounds as well as the mass defect and fragment-filtering strategies were critical to identify GXSTC compounds in vitro and in vivo. This can be used for further quality control and pharmacological studies aimed at characterizing the active and potential beneficial compounds of this ancient medicine.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the influence on spectacle independence, satisfaction and visual function after cataract surgery monovision with different ADD. Methods: Prospective clinical study. All patients were collected from the department of ophthalmology, Shanghai JiaoTong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital who were diagnosed as bilateral cataract from Oct. 2013 to Mar. 2015. This study comprised 64 cases (128 eyes). All consecutive patients scheduled to undergo bilateral cataract phacoemulsification and implantation of a monofocal AcrySof IQ IOL. The average age of patients was (65.4± 6.0) years old, ranged from 51 to 70 years. 28 males and 36 females. According to the different demands of spectacle independence and living habits of patients, all cases were divided into two groups: MV1 group (32 patients), whose near addition being 1.25-1.75 D and MV2 group (32 patients), whose near addition being 2.25-2.75 D. Parameters 6 months postoperatively included binocular uncorrected distance, intermediate, and near visual acuities, stereo vision and refractive states were analyzed. Parameters of spectacle independence, subjective visual symptoms and patient satisfaction according to visual function questionnaire were analyzed at the same time. T test was used to compare uncorrected visual acuity. Whitney U test was operated in stereo vision comparison. Chi-square test was applied in sex-distribution comparison and visual function questionnaire between two groups. Results: The uncorrected distance vision in MV1 group was (0.09±0.09), while it was (0.11±0.08) in MV2 group. The uncorrected intermediate vision in MV1 group was (0.27±0.25), and it was (0.30±0.22) in MV2 group. There were no significant difference between two groups in bilateral uncorrected distance vision (t=1.62, P=0.264, LogMAR), intermediate (t=- 0.23, P=0.876, LogMAR). However, there was significant difference between two groups in uncorrected near vision (t=2.38, P=0.021, LogMAR). It was (0.06±0.06) in MV1 group and (0.02±0.07) in MV2 group. Moreover, near stereo vision was better in MV1 group than MV2 group (Z=- 1.29, P=0.031). On the questionnaire, all patients in two groups had no significant difference in their daily lives discomfort (χ(2)=0.10, P=0.756). In MV2 group, there were 2 patients complained obstacles while walking stairs dimly. In MV1 group, there were 3 patients had to wear low degrees of presbyopic glasses when they were on near work. Percentage of patients spectacle independence was less than 90% in MV1 groups. In MV2 group, one case needed low degrees of myopic glasses when he was on intermediate computer work and playing table games. Conclusion: Different near addition has similar advantages to different patients on spectacle independence, satisfaction and visual function after cataract surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish macrophage iron overload model in vitro by co-culture macrophages with iron, and to explore the effect of iron overload on cell reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the impact of ROS on macrophages. METHOD Iron overload group were treated with different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 μmol/L respectively) of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC). The control group was the group of macrophages without FAC treatment. We detected the number and state of cells, metabolic activity, the change of phagocytosis, the levels of ROS and reactive nitrogen, and changes of related oxidative stress signaling pathways in different groups. Changes in the above indexes were detected after application of deferasirox (DFX) to remove iron and the antioxidant N -acetylcysteine (NAC) to clear excess oxidative stress. RESULTS (1)The levels of labile iron pool (LIP) in macrophages co-cultivated with iron was increased with the increase of iron concentration in a dose-dependent manner. The LIP levels was the highest in the macrophages treated with 80 μmol/L. (2)The increase of FAC concentration, the metabolic activity of macrophages in the 5 FAC-treated groups decreased to 51.58%, 40.98%, 16.23%, 3.46%, and 0.05% of the activity level of the control group (all P< 0.05). The group with the metabolic activity decreased to 16.23% (20 μmol/L) was selected as the iron overload group for the following experiments. (3)Compared with the control group, the number of macrophages in the iron overload group reduced to 32.80% (P<0.05), and the state of cells changed from adherence to partial suspension. The phagocytosis of macrophages in the iron overload group reduced to 20.40% of the control group (P<0.05). (4)Our further experiment showed that the levels of ROS and the activity nitrogen in the iron overload group increased by 7.71-and 1.45-fold compared with the control group (both P<0.05). The RT-PCR showed up-regulated mRNA expression of genes related with ROS production, i. e. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 4 (NOX 4) gene related with ROS production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene related with reactive nitrogen production, down-regulated mRNA expression of glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX1) gene which participated in ROS clearance. Moreover, mRNA expression of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) gene involved in oxidative stress signaling pathway in the iron overload group was up-regulated, while fork head protein O3 (FOXO3) which regulated oxidative stress through negative feedback showed a down-regulation level of mRNA expression compared with the control group. (5)After iron chelation and antioxidant treatment, the above-mentioned damage in the iron overload group were partially reversed. CONCLUSIONS The damages of iron overload on macrophages may be mediated by inducing oxidative stress and activating oxidative stress signaling pathways. Our established model provides a method to explore the mechanism of iron overload on macrophage, and may shed some new light on possible therapeutic target in treating iron overload patients.

Abstract
Sirt6 is a histone deacetylase with NAD(+)-dependent activity. Sirt6 has been shown as a tumor suppressor partially via inhibiting the expression of c-Myc target genes and ribosome biogenesis. However, how to regulate Sirt6 activity is largely unknown. In this study, we identify that Sirt6 can be modified by small ubiquitin-like modifier. Sirt6 SUMOylation deficiency specifically decreases its deacetylation of H3K56 but not H3K9 in vivo. Mechanistically, we find that SUMOylation deficiency decreases Sirt6 binding with c-Myc, decreasing Sirt6 occupancy on the locus of c-Myc target genes. Therefore, Sirt6 SUMOylation deficiency reduces its deacetylation of H3k56 and its repression of c-Myc target genes. Moreover, Sirt6 SUMOylation deficiency reduces its suppression of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Thus, these results reveal that SUMOylation has an important role in regulation of Sirt6 deacetylation on H3K56, as well as its tumor suppressive activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies summarized altered brain functional patterns in functional dyspepsia (FD) patients, but how the brain structural patterns are related to FD remains largely unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the brain structural characteristics in FD patients. METHODS Optimized voxel-based morphometry and tract-based spatial statistics were employed to investigate the changes in gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) respectively in 34 FD patients with postprandial distress syndrome and 33 healthy controls based on T1-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging. The Pearson's correlation evaluated the link among GM alterations, WM abnormalities, and clinical variables in FD patients. The optimal brain structural parameters for identifying FD were explored using the receiver operating characteristic curve. KEY RESULTS Compared to controls, FD patients exhibited a decrease in GM density (GMD) in the right posterior insula/temporal superior cortex (marked as pINS), right inferior frontal cortex (IFC), and left middle cingulate cortex, and an increase in fractional anisotropy (FA) in the posterior limb of the internal capsule, posterior thalamic radiation, and external capsule (EC). Interestingly, the GMD in the pINS was significantly associated with GMD in the IFC and FA in the EC. Moreover, the EC adjacent to the pINS provided the best performance for distinguishing FD patients from controls. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Our results showed pINS-related structural abnormalities in FD patients, indicating that GM and WM parameters were not affected independently. These findings would lay the foundation for probing an efficient target in the brain for treating FD.
