Abstract
Endometrial cancer is rising in incidence, especially in young women. This rise in incidence has implications for both primary prevention and screening in high-risk population. In the past several years, our understanding of the integration of clinically related genomic and pathologic data optimized the management of endometrial cancer. The updated 2023 FIGO staging includes the histological and molecular classification to better reflect the improved understanding of the heterogenous nature of endometrial carcinoma. Standard primary treatment is quite essential, however, selection of patients for adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy remains in controversy. Molecular characterization of endometrial cancer is becoming critical in directing treatment for advanced and recurrent disease, and the addition of immunotherapy to frontline chemotherapy is becoming the standard of care. More attention should be given to increase awareness of survivorship issues and improve patient quality-of-life.

Abstract
To investigate the exact effects of dietary choline on hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and explore the potential mechanisms, male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were randomly divided into five groups as follows: WKY group, WKY + Choline group, SHR group, SHR + Choline group, and SHR + Choline + NaHS group. In choline treatment groups, rats were fed with 1.3% (w/v) choline in the drinking water for 3 months. The rats in the SHR + Choline + NaHS group were intraperitoneally injected with NaHS (100 micromol/kg/day, a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor) for 3 months. After 3 months, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (LVFS), the indicators of cardiac function measured by echocardiography, were increased significantly in SHR as compared to WKY, although there was no significant difference in collagen volumes and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio between the two groups, indicating the early stage of cardiac hypertrophy. There was a significant decrease in LVEF and LVFS and an increase in collagen volumes and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in SHR fed with choline, meanwhile, plasma H2S levels were significantly decreased significantly in SHR fed with choline accompanying by the decrease of cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE) activity. Three months of NaHS significantly increased plasma H2S levels, ameliorated cardiac dysfunction and inhibited cardiac fibrosis and apoptosis in SHR fed with choline. In conclusion, choline aggravated cardiac dysfunction in HHD through inhibiting the production of endogenous H2S, which was reversed by supplementation of exogenous H2S donor.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite the availability of novel agents. This multi-center retrospective cohort study used the Canadian Myeloma Research Group Database to describe real-world outcomes of patients withanti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb) refractory MM subsequently treated with standard of care (SoC) regimens. Patients with triple class refractory (TCR) disease (refractory to a proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug, and anti-CD38 mAb) were examined as a distinct cohort. Overall, 663 patients had disease progression on anti-CD38 mAb therapy, 466 received further treatment (346 with SoC regimens were included, 120 with investigational agents on clinical trial and were excluded). The median age at initiation of subsequent SoC therapy of 67.9 (range 39.6-89.6) years with a median of 3 prior lines (range 1-9). The median PFS and OS from the start of subsequent therapy was 4.6 (95% CI 4.1-5.6) months and 13.3 (95% CI 10.6-16.6) months, respectively. The median PFS and OS of patients with TCR disease (n = 199) was 4.4 (95% CI 3.6-5.3) months and 10.5 (95% CI 8.5-13.8) months. Our results reinforce that real-world patients with relapsed MM, particularly those with TCR disease, have dismal outcomes. There remains an urgent unmet need for the development of and access to effective therapeutics for these patients.

Abstract
Pineapple color yellowing and quality promotion gradually manifest as pineapple fruit ripening progresses. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying yellowing in pineapples during ripening, coupled with alterations in fruit quality, comprehensive metabolome and transcriptome investigations were carried out. These investigations were conducted using pulp samples collected at three distinct stages of maturity: young fruit (YF), mature fruit (MF), and fully mature fruit (FMF). This study revealed a noteworthy increase in the levels of total phenols and flavones, coupled with a concurrent decline in lignin and total acid contents as the fruit transitioned from YF to FMF. Furthermore, the analysis yielded 167 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) and 2194 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Integration analysis based on DAMs and DEGs revealed that the biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites, particularly the flavonol, flavonoid, and phenypropanoid pathways, plays a pivotal role in fruit yellowing. Additionally, RNA-seq analysis showed that structural genes, such as FLS, FNS, F3H, DFR, ANR, and GST, in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway were upregulated, whereas the COMT, CCR, and CAD genes involved in lignin metabolism were downregulated as fruit ripening progressed. APX as well as PPO, and ACO genes related to the organic acid accumulations were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Importantly, a comprehensive regulatory network encompassing genes that contribute to the metabolism of flavones, flavonols, lignin, and organic acids was proposed. This network sheds light on the intricate processes that underlie fruit yellowing and quality alterations. These findings enhance our understanding of the regulatory pathways governing pineapple ripening and offer valuable scientific insight into the molecular breeding of pineapples.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the reliability of synthetic diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) using a high b-value in comparison to conventional DWI for paediatric abdominal MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Paediatric patients (<19 years old) who underwent liver or pancreatobiliary MRI with DWI using 10 b-values (b = 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1,500 s/mm2) from March to October 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Using the software, synthetic DWI using b = 1,500 s/mm2 was generated automatically by selecting the b-value required as output. Conventional and synthetic DWI values for b = 1,500 s/mm2 were measured at the liver, spleen, paraspinal muscle, and mass lesions, if present, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were calculated using the mono-exponential model. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to assess the reliability of conventional and synthetic DWI and ADC values with b = 1,500 s/mm2. RESULTS Thirty paediatric patients (M:F = 22:8, mean 10.8 ± 3.1 years old) were included and four had tumours on abdominal MRI. ICC values were 0.906-0.995 between conventional and synthetic DWI and ADC with b = 1,500 s/mm2 in the liver, spleen and muscle. For mass lesions, ICC values were 0.997-0.999 for both synthetic DWI and ADC images. CONCLUSIONS Synthetic DWI and ADC values obtained using a high b-value showed excellent agreement with conventional DWI for the liver, spleen, muscle, and mass in paediatric MRI.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the role of platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) on bidirectional differentiation of glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1-positive mesenchymal stem cells (Gli1+-MSC). Methods: Breeding double reporter transgenic mice ROSAmT/mG/Gli1-CreERt2/PDGFRαfl (Experimental group) and ROSAmT/mG/Gli1-CreERt2 (Control group), 20 mice in each of the two groups at four weeks of age were selected, MSC were isolated from the mouse aortic epithelium. After tamoxifen inducement, the two groups of Gli1+-MSC were screened by green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeling and flow cytometry sorting. PDGFRα was conditionally knocked out in the experimental group, and the control group Gli1+-MSC expressed PDGFRα normally. The two groups of Gli1+-MSC were subjected to adipogenic induction and fibrogenic induction, the Western blotting was performed to detect PDGFRα, adipocyte markers [perilipin and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα)] and fibrogenic markers [alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibroblast-specific protein 1 (FSP-1)] and semi-quantitative analysis was performed. The degree of cellular adipose differentiation after bidirectional induction of Gli1+-MSC in both groups was observed by oil red O staining and analyzed semi-quantitatively. Results: After tamoxifen induction, Gli1+-MSC could be accurately isolated from flow cytometry by GFP labeling. Via adipogenic differentiation, the expression of PDGFRα in the experimental group (0.017±0.002) was significantly lower than that in the control group (0.184±0.012) (t=25.48,P=0.002). The protein expressions of perilipin (3.138±0.414) and C/EBPα (3.565±0.289) were significantly higher than those in the control group (2.312±0.218 and 2.179±0.103, respectively) (t=6.21,P=0.025;t=6.69,P=0.022). Thus, the knock-out of PDGFRα enhanced the adipogenic differentiation ability of Gli1+-MSC. After fibrogenesis induction, the protein expressions of PDGFRα, α-SMA and FSP-1 in the experimental group (0.030±0.001, 0.932±0.177 and 0.276±0.020, respectively) were significantly lower than those in the control group (0.439±0.006, 1.352±0.170 and 0.835±0.097, respectively) (t=149.40, P<0.001; t=66.38,P<0.001; t=11.41,P<0.08). This suggested that the knock-out of PDGFRα significantly inhibited Gli1+-MSC differentiation toward fibroblasts. After bidirectional induction, significantly less adipocyte formation was seen in the control group and more in the experimental group. Quantitative analysis showed that the amount of oil red O staining in the experimental group (0.461±0.042) was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.017±0.007) after bidirectional induction (t=23.20, P<0.01). Conclusions: PDGFRα plays an important role in the regulation of bidirectional differentiation of vascular adventitial Gli1+-MSC.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the difference in survival between fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) and radical surgery and explore pregnancy outcomes after FSS in stage I malignant sex cord-stromal tumours (MSCSTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a multicentre retrospective cohort study on patients who were diagnosed with MSCSTs and the tumour was confined to one ovary. The patients were divided into FSS and radical surgery groups. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance variables between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the difference in disease-free survival (DFS). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to find risk factors of DFS. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess risk factors of pregnancy. RESULTS In total, 107 patients were included, of whom 54 (50.5%) women underwent FSS and 53 (49.5%) received radical surgery. After IPTW, a pseudo-population of 208 was determined and all of the covariates were well balanced. After a median follow-up time of 50 months (range 7-156 months), 10 patients experienced recurrence and two died. There was no significant difference in DFS between the two groups, both in unweighted (P = 0.969) or weighted cohorts (P = 0.792). In the weighted cohort, stage IC (P = 0.014), tumour diameter >8 cm (P = 0.003), incomplete staging surgery (P = 0.003) and no adjuvant chemotherapy (P < 0.001) were the four high-risk factors associated with a shorter DFS. Among 14 patients who had pregnancy desire, 11 (78.6%) women conceived successfully; the live birth rate was 76.9%. In univariate analysis, only adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.009) was associated with infertility. CONCLUSIONS On the premise of complete staging surgery, FSS is safe and feasible in early stage MSCSTs with satisfactory reproductive outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment and sarcopenia have become important challenges for the growing aging population. Social support has been shown to protect against cognitive impairment, but its impact on sarcopenia remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the correlation between social support, sarcopenia, and cognitive impairment in Chinese older adults. METHOD A multi-stage whole group sampling method was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of 720 community-dwelling older people in Shanghai. The definition of sarcopenia was in accordance with the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019. Cognitive impairment was evaluated using a computerized neuropsychological assessment device that had been previously validated. Social support was assessed using the Social Support Rate Scale. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between social support cognitive impairment and sarcopenia, fully adjusting for all potential confounding factors. RESULTS Our study found that 230 (31.94%) of the participants had cognitive impairment and 97 (13.47%) of the participants had sarcopenia. The mean social support score was 35.10 ± 7.54. Besides, the results showed that cognitive impairment was associated with sarcopenia (OR:1.650, 95% CI: 1.048, 2.596, P=0.030) after adjusting for confounding factors. Older adults with high level social support had the lowest risk of cognitive impairment (OR: 0.297, 95% CI: 0.115, 0.680, P=0.021) and sarcopenia (OR: 0.113, 95% CI: 0.031, 0.407, P=0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION Our analysis revealed that high level social support was negatively associated with sarcopenia and cognitive impairment. These findings provide strong support for the health promotion effect of social networks against sarcopenia and cognitive impairment in Chinese community-dwelling older adults, with important implications for healthcare policy makers.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Heart failure (HF) is an expensive major public health problem in the United States and around the world (1). The current treatments for HF are aimed at reducing symptoms, slowing disease progression, and reducing mortality and not aimed at repairing heart muscle or restoring function. Furthermore, even with these treatments, approximately half of patients with HF will die within 5 years of diagnosis (2). Cardiac transplantation remains the only definitive treatment for those affected with end-stage HF, but availability of donor hearts remains a major limitation (3).
Purpose
The ability of the adult heart to regenerate cardiomyocytes (CMs) lost after injury is limited, generating interest in developing tissue engineering therapies to avoid progression towards HF. Rigid carbon nanotubes (CNTs) scaffolds have been used to improve CMs viability, proliferation, and maturation (4), but require undesirable invasive surgeries for implantation. To overcome this limitation, we engineered an injectable reverse thermal gel (RTG) functionalized with CNTs (RTG-CNT) that transitions from a liquid-solution to a gel-based matrix shortly after reaching body temperature allowing for a liquid-based delivery rapidly followed by a stable-gel localization (5).
Methods and results
Here we show experimental evidences the RTG-CNT hydrogel, used as a three-dimensional (3D) niche to culture human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-CMs, promotes hiPSC-CMs alignment and elongation with increased Cx43 localization and improved contraction function when compared with traditional two-dimensional (2D) fibronectin controls and plain 3D RTG system without CNTs. Moreover, the short-term (4-week) biocompatibility of the RTG-CNT hydrogel was also assessed in a mouse model (intracardial injection). The results confirmed that the RTG-CNT hydrogel is well tolerated by the cardiac tissue.
Conclusion
Our results indicated that the injectable RTG-CNT hydrogel has the potential to be used as a minimally invasive tool for cardiac tissue engineering efforts.

Abstract
Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to potential toxicity in an organism. Class III peroxidases (PRXs) play an important role in maintaining ROS homeostasis in plants. Internal browning (IB) limits industrial development of pineapple, which is the third most important fruit trade in the world. IB is mainly caused by ROS, and the mechanism underlying IB is still unknown from the perspective of ROS. Here, we soaked pineapples in ascorbic acid after harvest and before storage to decrease excessive ROS and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, ultimately restraining the spread and deterioration of IB. Using phylogenetic analysis; we identified 78 pineapple PRX genes (AcPRXs) and divided them into five subgroups. Gene structure analysis indicated that the exon numbers ranged from 2 to 14, and conserved motif analysis verified that all of the AcPRXs identified here have standard peroxidase domains. Analysis of duplication events suggested that tandem and segmental duplication events may have played equal and important roles in expanding the AcPRX family. Comprehensive transcriptomic analysis uncovered that AcPRXs may play an important role in negatively regulating the occurrence of IB. In summary, we found that ROS scavenging delayed IB occurrence. The results of characterized AcPRX family revealed that AcPRXs family responded to growth and development, and negatively regulated to IB occurrence in storage stage. This research provides potential target genes for future in-depth analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying IB and contributes to develop IB-resistant pineapple varieties.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical prognosis and fertility outcomes in patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) who underwent fertility-sparing surgery, and evaluate the related risk factors. Methods: The study examined the clinicopathological characteristics of 280 patients diagnosed with BOT from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 2009 and December 2019. According to the surgery plan, the patients were divided into the fertility-sparing group (167 cases) and the radical surgery group (113 cases). The information of the patients' age, preoperative serum CA-125 level, surgery method, pathological type, FIGO stage (2014), tumor location, and whether focal canceration combined were collected. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare disease-free survival (DFS) between the fertility-sparing surgery group and the radical surgery group. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to explore high-risk factors associated with DFS. Results: A total of 280 BOT patients were identified in the study, with a median age of 35.0 (26.0, 51.0) years old. The median follow-up time was 55.2 (34.7, 79.3)months. 25 patients (15.0%) developed recurrence in the fertility-sparing surgery group, 11 patients (8.7%) developed recurrence in the radical surgery group. There was no significant difference in 5-year DFS rate between the two groups (84.4% vs 90.1%, P=0.223). Only FIGO stage was found to be related to DFS through the univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, and patients with FIGO Ⅱ/Ⅲ had higher risk of recurrence [HR (95%CI) 2.872(1.283-6.431)] (P=0.010); Fertility-sparing surgery does not increase the recurrence risk of BOT patients (P=0.116). Pregnancies were reported in 39 patients (54.2%), among whom 37 patients gave birth successfully, and 2 patients selected to terminate pregnancy. Conclusions: The fertility-sparing surgery does not increase the risk of recurrence in BOT patients, and patients who underwent the fertility-sparing surgery have a favorable outcome. FIGO stage is the independent risk factor of DFS in BOT patients.

Abstract
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is famous for its sweet flavor and aroma. China is one of the major mango-producing countries. Mango is known for variations in flowering intensity that impacts fruit yield and farmers' profitability. In the present study, transcriptome and metabolome analyses of three cultivars with different flowering intensities were performed to preliminarily elucidate their regulatory mechanisms. The transcriptome profiling identified 36,242 genes. The major observation was the differential expression patterns of 334 flowering-related genes among the three mango varieties. The metabolome profiling detected 1,023 metabolites that were grouped into 11 compound classes. Our results show that the interplay of the FLOWERING LOCUS T and CONSTANS together with their upstream/downstream regulators/repressors modulate flowering robustness. We found that both gibberellins and auxins are associated with the flowering intensities of studied mango varieties. Finally, we discuss the roles of sugar biosynthesis and ambient temperature pathways in mango flowering. Overall, this study presents multiple pathways that can be manipulated in mango trees regarding flowering robustness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The management of non-communicable chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus is often poor in humanitarian crisis settings. Poor disease management can have serious long-term consequences. This review sought to identify studies that explored the effectiveness of interventions and the determinants that may improve the management of diabetes in the humanitarian context. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review was conducted of all types of studies that implemented diabetes programmes in humanitarian settings. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science were searched for relevant articles using multiple search terms for relevant studies published in English between 2000 and June 2020. Quality assessments using valid tools, were conducted. A narrative synthesis of the findings was then performed. RESULTS The search yielded 550 citations. After de-duplicating and screening, 19 studies were eligible for inclusion. Most studies were conducted in the Middle East (74%), Asia (16%) and Africa (10%). The interventions reported to improved diabetes care included the mHealth tool, intensive lifestyle intervention, task-shifting, psychosocial support, distribution of glucometers and comprehensive care. Insufficient drug supply, out-of-pocket cost, the complexity of insulin therapy and low adherence to guidelines were identified as barriers. CONCLUSION There is a paucity of evidence on optimal diabetes care in acute crisis and natural disaster settings. The review was constrained by the low quality of the studies included. Nevertheless, it is likely that mHealth can be feasibly utilised, as educational SMS messages are cost-effective and electronic medical records can enhance disease monitoring. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach to care improves glycaemic control and is desirable due to the multifaceted nature of the disease and management required. Several key barriers have been identified that need to be tackled. Overall, the evidence base for diabetes care in humanitarian settings remains sparse, and further research is needed.

Abstract
Pineapple fruits are usually harvested at different stages of maturity, based on consumer demands. The stage of maturity significantly affects the storage tolerance due to alterations in the cellular lipid homeostasis in the fruits. The characteristic abundance of metabolites and fatty acids (FAs) can provide vital information giving insight into the cellular lipid changes that occur during the ripening process in the fruits. Here, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, largely based on the analysis of widely targeted metabolomics, was applied to evaluate the differences in the metabolites among the pineapple at three different stages of maturity namely, pineapples at the young fruit (YF), mature fruit (MF), and fully mature fruit (FMF) stages. In this study, 466 metabolites were annotated and identified. Among these, 59 lipids, including the glyceride esters, fatty acids and conjugates, and lysophospholipids (LPLs) were characterized. Notably, the LPLs were down-regulated in their relative abundance in the MF compared with the YF, and subsequently they remained almost stable in the FMF stage. The FA profiling results revealed the presence of certain unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs); besides, the total monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) to saturated fatty acid (SFA) ratio, as well as the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to SFA ratio, showed noticeable decrease during the ripening process. The differential accumulation patterns of the LPLs, MUFAs, PUFAs, and SFAs imply that the lipid degradation and peroxidation take place in the pineapple fruits from the YF to MF and YF to FMF stages, respectively. The present study provides new insights into the alterations in the cellular lipid metabolism underlying the metabolite profiles and accumulation of FAs in pineapple fruits during ripening.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
East Asians treated with potent P2Y12 inhibitors (prasugrel or ticagrelor) are exposed to more potent platelet inhibitory response. Whether half-dose de-escalation strategy would be benefit for chronic antiplatelet strategy in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain uncertain.
Method
In half-dose de-escalation strategy, 129 Korean ACS patients were assigned to receive standard-dose potent P2Y12 inhibitors (n=86, prasugrel [n=38], ticagrelor [n=48]), followed by half-dose reduction at 1 month for maintenance, and was compared to clopidogrel (n=43) as control. The primary safety outcome was any clinically significant bleeding according to BARC (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) criteria at 12 months. The pharmacodynamic response is accessed by VerifyNow P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) at 1 month and 3 months post PCI.
Results
Ticagrelor achieved significantly lower PRU (7 [4–32] vs. 11 [5–76] vs. 167 [97–212]) than prasugrel and clopidogrel, resulting OPR rate 0% vs. 21.6% vs. 58.5%, respectively at 1 month post PCI. Similar results were observed at 3 months (PRU 12 [6–43] in ticagrelor vs. 88 [58–148] in prasugrel vs. 169 [107–199] in clopidogrel), with OPR rate 7.1% vs. 51.5% vs. 65.9%, respectively. At 12 months, the incidence of BARC type-1 or -2 bleeding was significantly higher in potent P2Y12 inhibitors (37.5% in ticagrelor, 34.2% in prasugrel) than in clopidogrel (36.0 vs. 14.0%; HR, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.19–6.87; p=0.018).
Conclusion
In Korean ACS patients, pharmacodynamic response (OPR rate) with half-dose prasugrel appears comparable to that with clopidogrel, whereas ticagrelor still exhibit potent platelet inhibition either standard or half doses. De-escalation strategy with half-dose potent P2Y12 inhibitor was associated with higher incidence of clinically insignificant bleeding compared with clopidogrel. Optimal dose reduction strategies in potent P2Y12 inhibitors to balance safety and effectiveness remain uncertain, and require further studies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
East Asians treated with potent P2Y12 inhibitors, prasugrel or ticagrelor exhibit more potent platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. Whether half-dose de-escalation strategy would improve optimal platelet reactivity at maintenance in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains uncertain.
Method
In de-escalation strategy single center study, eligible Korean ACS patients (n=96) were assigned to receive standard-dose ticagrelor (n=33), prasugrel (n=28), followed by half-dose reduction at 1 month for maintenance, and clopidogrel (n=35) as control. Platelet reactivity was measured by VerifyNow, light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) and multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA). The investigators aim to compare optimal platelet reactivity status (OPR, defined as 85–208 P2Y12 reaction unit [PRU] for VerifyNow (VN), 16%–47% for LTA and 19–46 U for MEA) among 3 different platelet function tests at 3 months post PCI.
Results
At 3 months, ticagrelor achieved significantly lower PRU (17 [6–51] vs. 95 [61–151] vs. 172 [111–204]) than prasugrel and clopidogrel, resulting OPR rate 10% vs. 57.7% vs. 60.0%, respectively. Similar results were observed at LTA method (2% [0–12] in ticagrelor vs. 18% [13–22] in prasugrel vs. 18% [11–30] in clopidogrel), with OPR rate 11.8% vs. 69.2% vs. 50.0%, respectively. However, platelet reactivity was similar by MEA method (16 [13–20] in ticagrelor vs. 17 [13–22] in prasugrel vs. 19 [14–28] in clopidogrel), with OPR rate 33.3% vs. 40.0% vs. 42.0%, respectively (all p>0.005). Among the three tests, resulting higher correlation between VN and LTA (r=0.745), MEA and LTA vs. MEA and VN showed lower correlations (r=0.412 and r=0.303). (Fig.)
Conclusion
In Korean ACS patients with half-dose de-escalation strategy after 1 month, OPR rate in ticagrelor is still rare during 3-month treatment by VN and LTA methods, however, prasugrel appears comparable to clopidogrel. VN/LTA might overestimate platelet function than MEA or MEA underestimate OPR rate than VN/LTA.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) pandemic caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has necessitated changes to the way patients with chronic diseases are managed. Given that patients with multiple myeloma are at increased risk of covid-19 infection and related complications, national bodies and experts around the globe have made recommendations for risk mitigation strategies for those vulnerable patients. Understandably, because of the novelty of the virus, many of the proposed risk mitigation strategies have thus far been reactionary and cannot be supported by strong evidence. In this editorial, we highlight some of the risk mitigation strategies implemented at our institutions across Canada during the first wave of covid-19, and we discuss the considerations that should be made when managing patients during the second wave and beyond.

Abstract
The interconversion of charge and spin currents via spin-Hall effect is essential for spintronics. Energy-efficient and deterministic switching of magnetization can be achieved when spin polarizations of these spin currents are collinear with the magnetization. However, symmetry conditions generally restrict spin polarizations to be orthogonal to both the charge and spin flows. Spin polarizations can deviate from such direction in nonmagnetic materials only when the crystalline symmetry is reduced. Here, we show control of the spin polarization direction by using a non-collinear antiferromagnet Mn3GaN, in which the triangular spin structure creates a low magnetic symmetry while maintaining a high crystalline symmetry. We demonstrate that epitaxial Mn3GaN/permalloy heterostructures can generate unconventional spin-orbit torques at room temperature corresponding to out-of-plane and Dresselhaus-like spin polarizations which are forbidden in any sample with two-fold rotational symmetry. Our results demonstrate an approach based on spin-structure design for controlling spin-orbit torque, enabling high-efficient antiferromagnetic spintronics. In the typical spin-hall effect, spin-current, charge current, and spin polarisation are all mutually perpendicular, a feature enforced by symmetry. Here, using an anti-ferromagnet with a triangular spin structure, the authors demonstrate a spin-hall effect without a perpendicular spin alignment.

Abstract
Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare and difficult-to-diagnose disease, especially when limited to the jaws. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with spontaneous jaw pain and a large pre-auricular facial swelling overlying the angle of the mandible that was non-responsive to previous antibiotic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment. The diagnosis was confirmed as CNO following evaluation and workup by a multidisciplinary team. The patient exhibited a favourable response to oral alendronate sodium plus vitamin D3 combination treatment. We believe that alendronate sodium is an effective second-line drug for CNO.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between the number of teeth missed and the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 26 983 adults from Tianjin Chronic Low-grade Systemic Inflammation and Health Cohort Study. The number of teeth missed (excluding third molars) was recorded and classified into four categories: 0, 1-, 3- and ≥6. NAFLD was diagnosed by at least two liver ultrasonography examinations. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to access the association between the number of missed teeth and NAFLD in adults. Results: The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 7 270 and the number of the subjects with at least one tooth missed was 9 667. The multivariable-adjusted ORs (95%CI) of NAFLD across the categories of tooth missing (0, 1-, 3- and ≥6) were as follows: 1.00, 1.04 (0.93-1.15), 1.08 (0.93-1.26) and 1.38 (1.09-1.76) (trend test P=0.030) in males; 1.00, 0.96 (0.82-1.12), 1.11 (0.91-1.35) and 1.22 (0.90-1.64) (trend test P=0.450) in females. Conclusion: The number of missed teeth was positively associated with a higher prevalence rate of NAFLD in males with over 6 teeth missed, but not in females.

Abstract
Consistent condom use is an inexpensive and efficacious HIV prevention strategy. Understanding factors associated with condom use and barriers to use can inform strategies to increase condom uptake. The ongoing African Cohort Study prospectively enrolls adults at 12 clinical sites in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Nigeria. At enrollment, participants are asked about condom use at last sex with a regular partner. Robust Poisson regression models were used to evaluate predictors of self-reported condom use. Participants who reported not using condoms were asked to provide reasons. From January 2013 to September 2019, 2482 participants reported having at least one regular sexual partner in the preceding 6 months. Of those, 1577 (63.5%) reported using a condom at last sex. Condom use was more common among older participants, males, HIV-infected participants, and those with an HIV-infected partner. Married participants, those with a partner of unknown HIV status, and those reporting alcohol use were less likely to report condom use at last sex. Condom use at last sex also varied significantly by clinical site. Partner disapproval or refusal to use a condom was a consistent driver of disparities in condom use among participants who were HIV infected, female, and aged 18-24 years. Effective HIV prevention programs should integrate condom education with the tools necessary to negotiate condom use with regular partners.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to assess genetic diversity of Korean-Holstein, Korean Hanwoo, and Ugandan-Holstein dairy cattle. DNA was extracted from either blood or hair of Korean-Holstein (n=74), Korean-Hanwoo (n=75) and Ugandan-Holstein (N=77) using AccuPrep® PCR purification kit. The DNA samples were amplified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction, using GeneTrackTM Hanwoo genotyping kit and assayed using ABI genetic analyser 3130XL. Number of alleles, expected heterozygosity (He), observed heterozygosity (Ho), and the polymorphism information content (PIC) were estimated from 10 microsatellite loci in the three breeds. In addition, F-statistics for each of the 10 microsatellites in the three cattle breeds were estimated using fstat version 2.9.3.2 computer program. GENETIX (v.4.02) was used to perform factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) from the allele frequencies and multi-locus clustering was done using STRUCTURE analyses. A total of 124 alleles were detected. The number of alleles per locus varied from eight (TGLA126) to 22 (TGLA122), with an overall mean of 12.2. Expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.617 (SPS115) to 0.854 (TGLA53) and averaged 0.761. Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.6 (SPS115) to 0.859 (TGLA53); and averaged 0.761. The mean PIC was 0.723; and means of the F-statistics FIT, FST and FIS were 0.077, 0.076 and 0.001 respectively. Although FCA revealed clear differentiation of Uganda-Holstein, Korean-Holstein, and Hanwoo, clustering assignments showed genetic admixture between Ugandan dairy cattle (Uganda-Holstein) and Hanwoo. In conclusion, the allelic variation present at the 10 loci was sufficient to categorize these cattle into distinct breed groups.

Abstract
Ectopic parathyroid adenomas that affect the submandibular region have not been widely reported. We describe a 34-year-old man who presented with a painless swelling of the submandibular region. The identification of hypercalcaemia encouraged us to engage a multidisciplinary team to evaluate further serum changes. Parathyroid hormone analysis, 99mTc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) scintigraphy, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) were done to rule out hyperparathyroidism. Raised parathyroid hormone together with 99mTc-MIBI and SPECT-CT examination were consistent with a tumour caused by the hyperparathyroidism. Removal of the lesion resulted in rapid improvement in serum calcium and parathyroid hormone, and the normalisation of the serum creatinine, concentrations. Histopathological analysis confirmed a parathyroid adenoma. We conclude that ectopic parathyroid adenomas should be considered as part of a differential diagnosis for tumours of the submandibular region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is emerging as an important public health problem, and evidences have determined that poor sleep is associated with muscle strength, but the potential effects of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), snoring and witnessed apnea on handgrip strength have not been evaluated. AIM We aimed to examine the association between EDS, snoring, witnessed apnea and muscle strength in an adult population. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS This cross-sectional study comprised 19 434 adults. Handgrip strength was measured using a handheld digital dynamometer. EDS was assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale, snoring and witnessed apnea during sleep were reported through simple yes/no questions. Analysis of covariance was carried out to determine the association between EDS with snoring or witnessed apnea and muscle strength. RESULTS The means (95% confidence interval) for average handgrip strength/body weight (kg/kg) across symptoms categories were 0.396 (0.333-0.472), 0.393 (0.330-0.467), 0.396 (0.333-0.471) and 0.386 (0.325-0.460) (P < 0.0001), respectively. Similar results were observed with maximal handgrip strength/body weight (kg/kg). CONCLUSIONS Self-reported EDS accompanied with snoring or apnea is associated with lowest handgrip strength, independently of confounding factors. Whether improvement of EDS, snoring and apnea, can ameliorate age-associated decline in muscle strength warrants further studies.

Abstract
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is revealed to have a close relationship with cancers. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to reveal the mechanism through which LKB1 performed its role in lung cancer. LKB1 shRNA and overexpression plasmid were employed to investigate the role of LKB1 in lung cancer in vitro and in vivo. The involvement of Shh signaling pathway was assessed by western blot. Silence of LKB1 promoted, while overexpression of LKB1 inhibited the migration, invasion and angiogenesis of lung cancer cells. Further study showed that Shh signaling pathway was suppressed by LKB1. Cyclopamine, a Shh signaling pathway inhibitor, reduced the effects of LKB1 silence, indicating that LKB1 inhibits the migration, invasion and angiogenesis through suppressing the Shh signaling pathway. In vivo study also showed that Shh signaling pathway was involved in the modulation of LKB1 on the metastasis and angiogenesis of lung cancer. Our study demonstrates that LKB1 inhibits the metastasis and angiogenesis of lung cancer through suppressing the Shh signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) demonstrate different talar cartilage T1ρ relaxation times compared to uninjured controls. DESIGN Fifteen CAI (21.13 ± 1.81 years, 4.00 ± 2.07 previous ankle sprains) and fifteen controls (21.07 ± 2.55 years, no previous ankle sprains) participated. CAI inclusion criteria was in accordance with the International Ankle Consortium guidelines. Greater T1ρ relaxation times were interpreted as greater degenerative changes. Participants were non-weight bearing for 30-minutes prior to scanning to unload the cartilage. Voxel by voxel T1ρ relaxation times were calculated from a five image sequence. Segmentation of the talar cartilage was performed manually using ITK-SNAP software. T1ρ relaxation time means and variability across the entire talus and in the anteromeidal, anterolateral, posteromedial, and posterolateral regions of interest (ROIs) were compared between groups using mean differences and effect sizes (ES) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). RESULTS Individuals with CAI demonstrated higher T1ρ relaxation times (mean ± standard deviation) across the entire talus (CAI: 65.97 ± 10.45 ms, Control: 58.84 ± 7.68 ms; ES = 0.76, 95%CI = 0.02-1.50), in the anterolateral (ES = 1.00, 95%CI = 0.24-1.48), posteromedial (ES = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.01-1.49), and posterolateral region of interest (ES = 3.84, 95%CI = 2.63-5.04). The T1ρ relaxation time variability (mean ± standard deviation) also differed across the overall talus (CAI: 32.78 ± 4.06 ms, Control: 28.23 ± 4.45 ms; ES = 1.04, 95%CI = 0.28-1.80), in the anteriolateral, (ES = 1.07, 95%CI = 0.31, 1.84) and posteriolateral (ES = 1.00, 95%CI = 0.24-1.75) ROIs. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with CAI demonstrate greater T1ρ relaxation times and higher T1ρ variability compared to uninjured controls. This finding supports the existing literature illustrating early degenerative joint tissue changes consistent with early onset posttraumatic osteoarthritis in individuals with CAI.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of different discontinuation time of aspirin and clopidogrel before off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) on postoperative bleeding and blood products transfusion requirement. Methods: Three hundred and fifty-three coronary artery disease patients who underwent OPCABG from January 2017 to January 2018 at Department of Cardiac Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were retrospectively analysed. There were 268 males and 85 females, aged (66.0±9.1)years. All patients were divided into three groups: (1) guideline-recommended group: patients who discontinued clopidogrel for >5 days without discontinuing aspirin before surgery; (2) without discontinuing group: patients who discontinued clopidogrel for ≤5 days without discontinuing aspirin before surgery; (3) discontinuing group: patients who discontinued clopidogrel for >5 days with discontinuing aspirin before surgery. Postoperative bleeding recorded as chest tube drainage (CTD) volume and blood products transfusion requirement and perioperative complications were recorded. CTD volumes within 12 hours after surgery between groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U tests, CTD volumes after 12 hours postoperatively were compared by repeated measures analysis of variance and blood products transfusion and complications incidence were compared by χ(2) test or Fisher's precise test. Results: The 12 hours CTD volumes of guideline-recommended group, without discontinuing group, discontinuing group after surgery were 280(153) ml (M(Q(R))), 291(229) ml, 225(161) ml, respectively. There were no significant differences in postoperative 12 hours CTD volumes (P=0.865), red blood cells transfusion incidence (χ(2)=2.626, P=0.149) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion incidence (χ(2)=1.258, P=0.324) between guideline-recommended group and without discontinuing group. However, the 12 hours CTD volumes were significantly higher in guideline-recommended group patients compared with disconutinuing group patients (U=5 247, P=0.002). No significant differences were observed in red blood cells (χ(2)=0.182, P=0.757) and FFP (χ(2)=0.083, P=0.839) transfusion rate between these two groups. Repeated measures analysis of variance indicated that when patients began to take antiplatelet drugs (aspirin and clopidogrel) after 12 hours postoperatively, the change of CTD volumes beyond 12 hours after surgery didn't differ either between guideline-recommended group and without discontinuing group (F=0.019, P=0.941) or between guideline-recommended group and discontinuing group (F=2.447,P=0.113). Besides, the incidence of perioperative arrhythmia was significantly higher in guideline-recommended group patients compared with without discontinuing group patients (4.8% vs. 0, χ(2)=5.073, P=0.038). Conclusions: OPCABG patients who discontinued aspirin before surgery had lower postoperative 12 hours CTD volumes but similar blood products transfusion rate and CTD volumes beyond 12 hours postoperatively compared with patients adhering to the current guideline-recommended protocol. And for patients who discontinued clopidogrel for ≤5 days, postoperative CTD volumes and blood products transfusion requirement were similar but the incidence of perioperative arrhythmia was significantly lower compared with guideline-treated patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Stem cell factor (SCF), the ligand of the c-kit receptor, actively participates in the organ reconstruction and fibrosis associated with various diseases, including kidney disease. However, it remains unclear whether SCF plays a role in kidney aging. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND MEASUREMENTS In the present study, we measured the serum SCF level, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and other biological parameters in a Chinese Han group of 892 subjects, and explored the relationship between SCF level and renal function during aging; we sought to define novel biomarkers of kidney aging. RESULTS Multiple linear regression was used to select potential indicators of decline in renal function. Only age, SCF level, and 25% maximum expiratory flow (25% MEF) were significant predictors after redundancy analysis (|r| > 0.70 and P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that the relationship among eGFR, SCF level, and age could be described as follows: eGFR = 154.486 - (0.846 × age) - (0.011 × SCF level). CONCLUSIONS We found no between-gender difference in the effect of SCF on kidney aging. In conclusion, the SCF level is an ideal biomarker of renal aging and may help to predict changes in eGFR during aging.

Abstract
The metal-insulator transition in correlated materials is usually coupled to a symmetry-lowering structural phase transition. This coupling not only complicates the understanding of the basic mechanism of this phenomenon but also limits the speed and endurance of prospective electronic devices. We demonstrate an isostructural, purely electronically driven metal-insulator transition in epitaxial heterostructures of an archetypal correlated material, vanadium dioxide. A combination of thin-film synthesis, structural and electrical characterizations, and theoretical modeling reveals that an interface interaction suppresses the electronic correlations without changing the crystal structure in this otherwise correlated insulator. This interaction stabilizes a nonequilibrium metallic phase and leads to an isostructural metal-insulator transition. This discovery will provide insights into phase transitions of correlated materials and may aid the design of device functionalities.
