Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the predictive value of pre-hepatectomy dynamic circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) on pathologic response to preoperative chemotherapy and recurrence after liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). BACKGROUND Pathologic response is a predictor of clinical outcomes for patients undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM. Postoperative ctDNA has been proven to be sensitive for recurrence detection. However, few studies investigate the impact of pre-hepatectomy ctDNA on pathologic response and recurrence. METHODS Patients with potential resectable CRLM underwent preoperative chemotherapy and hepatectomy between 2018 and 2021 was considered for inclusion. Plasma ctDNA was collected before and after preoperative chemotherapy. Pathologic response was analyzed for all patients after liver resection. Recurrence free survival was compared between patients with different ctDNA status and different pathologic response. The relation between ctDNA and pathologic response was also analyzed. RESULTS A total of 114 patients were included. ctDNA was detectable in 108 of 114 patients (94.7%) before chemotherapy, in 56 of 114 patients (49.1%) after chemotherapy. Patients with ctDNA positive at baseline and negative after chemotherapy had significantly longer RFS (median RFS 17 vs 7 months, p = 0.001) and HRFS (median HRFS unreached vs 8 months, p < 0.001) than those with ctDNA persistently positive after chemotherapy. Two patients (1.6%) had a pathologic complete response and 56 patients (45.2%) had a pathologic major response. Post-chemotherapy ctDNA- was associated with improved major pathologic response (53.4% vs 32.1%, p = 0.011). In the multivariable analysis, ctDNA- after chemotherapy (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28-0.93), major pathologic response (HR 0.34, 95% CI 0.19-0.62) and surgery combined with radiofrequency ablation (HR 2.62, 95% CI 1.38-5.00) were independently associated with RFS (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pre-hepatectomy dynamic monitoring of ctDNA could predict pathologic response to preoperative chemotherapy and post-hepatectomy recurrence in CRLM patients. Negative ctDNA after preoperative chemotherapy was associated with better tumor regression grade and recurrence-free survival, which might be used to guide pre-hepatectomy chemotherapy and predict prognosis.

Abstract
We investigated the high energy spin excitations in electron-doped La_{2-x}Ce_{x}CuO_{4}, a cuprate superconductor, by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements. Efforts were paid to disentangle the paramagnon signal from non-spin-flip spectral weight mixing in the RIXS spectrum at Q_{∥}=(0.6π,0) and (0.9π,0) along the (1 0) direction. Our results show that, for doping level x from 0.07 to 0.185, the variation of the paramagnon excitation energy is marginal. We discuss the implication of our results in connection with the evolution of the electron correlation strength in this system.

Abstract
AIM To review the imaging characteristics of granular cell tumours in the head and neck and assess their associations with pathological findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven patients (10 [91%] women, mean age 43 years) with histopathologically confirmed granular cell tumours were included in this study. Preoperative imaging studies were performed, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound. The location of the tumours, their imaging features, and histopathological findings were analysed. RESULTS Among the 11 granular cell tumours, four (36%), three (27%), and two (18%) tumours were found in the submucosal layer, subcutaneous layer, and intramuscular area, respectively. On CT, all tumours exhibited homogeneous iso-attenuating enhancement compared with adjacent muscle, and nine out of the 11 tumours (81%) demonstrated well-defined margins. On T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), four out of five tumours (80%) demonstrated iso-signal intensity compared with adjacent muscles, and four tumours (80%) exhibited homogeneous signal intensity. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values ranged from 0.68-0.81 × 10-3 mm2/s. Histopathological examination revealed densely packed tumour cells with variable amounts of fibrous stroma. CONCLUSION Granular cell tumours were characterised by well-defined and iso-signals on T2WI and low mean ADC values, and were predominantly located in the submucosal, subcutaneous, or intramuscular areas in middle-aged women. The characteristic locations, demographic characteristics, and imaging findings can help to differentiate granular cell tumours from other soft-tissue tumours in the head and neck.

Abstract
Light intensity, wavelength, and photoperiod have a combined effect on chicken incubation. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 12-h light, 12-h dark (12L:12D) photoperiod of white light (380-780 nm, WL), blue light (455/447.5-462.5 nm, BL), and green light (525/515-535 nm, GL) in chicken perceived light intensity during layer incubation on hatching performance, embryo development, eye structure, and melatonin concentration. Three batches of eggs from Jinghong No. 1 layer breeder were used in this experiment. Light stimulation had no effect on hatchability, and no consistent effect on embryo weight and newly hatched chick weight. However, the average hatching time of white light group and green light group was 7.3 h and 5.5 h later than that of the control group. Therefore, the holding period of chicks was significantly shortened (P = 0.001) in these 2 light groups. Light stimulation had a significant effect on the thickness of retinal layers (P < 0.05), retinal layers of white light group was thicker than that of the other 3 groups. Melatonin levels of chicks hatched in the green light and blue light were significantly higher than that of chicks hatched in the white light and darkness (P < 0.05). It indicated that the monochrome green and blue light promoted the expression of melatonin in chicken embryos. No significant diurnal rhythms were found at the level of plasma melatonin in 4 groups on d 21 using cosine analysis. It was concluded that green light has a positive effect on embryo development and melatonin secretion, while white light probably has positive effect on eye development. Furthermore, both green and white light stimulation resulted in late hatch for layer egg incubation. The obtained results are important in determining the light protocol for chicken incubation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of combining ablation and resection (CARe) in treating unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) was well established. This study aimed to investigate the surgical and oncological outcomes of CARe strategy focusing on initially resectable CRLM. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 971 patients with resectable CRLM from a retrospective database of 1414 CRLM patients were enrolled, including 120 in the CARe group and 851 in the hepatectomy alone group. Short- and long-term outcomes were compared between groups using propensity score matching analysis. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 96 matched pairs of patients from each group were included. General characteristics of primary tumour and liver metastases were not statistically different between the CARe group and hepatectomy alone group. Disease-free survival (p = 0.257), intrahepatic recurrence-free survival (p = 0.329), and overall survival (p = 0.358) were similar between the two groups. Patients in CARe group had significantly reduced rate of major hepatectomy (5.2% vs. 21.9%, p = 0.001), lower incidence of postoperative hepatic insufficiency (0.0% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.023), and shortened postoperative hospital stay (7 d vs. 8 d, p = 0.019). Multivariate analysis showed that surgical approach did not affect oncologic outcome; liver metastasis with diameter >3 cm was an independent prognostic factor for hepatic recurrence-free and disease-free survival, and RAS status and lymph node metastasis at the primary site were independent prognostic factors for overall survival. CONCLUSION For patients with resectable CRLM, CARe may be a better treatment strategy than hepatectomy alone, as it could avoid major hepatectomy and get better surgical outcomes, while providing the similar oncologic results.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with intermediate or locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are not eligible for radical treatment typically have a poor overall prognosis. Treatment strategies that can convert unresectable HCC into resectable HCC may improve patient survival. We conducted a single arm phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab plus Lenvatinib as conversion therapy for HCC. Methods A single-arm, single-center study conducted in China (NCT04042805). Adults (≥18 years) with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage B or C HCC ineligible for radical surgery with no distant/lymph node metastasis received Sintilimab 200 mg IV on day 1 of a 21-day cycle plus Lenvatinib 12 mg (body weight ≥60 kg) or 8 mg (body weight <60 kg) orally once daily. Resectability was based on imaging and liver function. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), assessed using RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), event-free survival (EFS) in patients who underwent resection, surgical conversion rate, and safety. Results Overall, 36 patients were treated between August 1, 2018, and November 25, 2021; the median age was 58 years (range, 30-79), and 86% were male. The ORR (RECIST v1.1) was 36.1% (95% CI, 20.4-51.8) and the DCR was 94.4% (95% CI, 86.9-99.9). Eleven patients underwent radical surgery and one received radiofrequency ablation and stereotactic body radiotherapy; after a median follow up of 15.9 months, all 12 were alive and four had recurrence, median EFS was not reached. Median PFS among 24 patients who did not undergo surgery was 14.3 months (95% CI, 6.3-26.5). Treatment was generally well tolerated; two patients had serious adverse events; there were no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions Sintilimab plus Lenvatinib is safe and feasible for the conversion treatment of intermediate to locally advanced HCC initially unsuitable for surgical resection.

Abstract
The sample temperature in an externally heated diamond anvil cell (EHDAC) is generally measured by a thermocouple fixed to the pavilions of diamond anvils, ignoring the temperature difference between the thermocouple and the sample. However, the measured temperature depends strongly on the placement of the thermocouple, thus seriously reducing the accuracy of the temperature measurement and hindering the use of EHDAC in experiments requiring precise temperature measurements, such as high-pressure melting and phase-diagram investigations. In this study, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the 0-0 fluorescence line of strontium borate doped with bivalent samarium ions (SrBO4:Sm2+, SBO) is found to be highly sensitive to temperature and responds extremely rapidly to small temperature fluctuations, which makes it an excellent temperature indicator. We propose herein a precise method to measure temperature that involves measuring the FWHM of the 0-0 fluorescence line of SBO. This method is used to correct the temperature discrepancy between the thermocouple and the sample in an EHDAC. These corrections significantly improve the accuracy of temperature measurements in EHDACs. The accuracy of this method is verified by measuring the melting point of tin at ambient pressure. We also use this method to produce a tentative elementary phase diagram of tin up to 109 GPa and 495 K. This method facilitates high-pressure, high-temperature experiments demanding accurate temperature measurements in various disciplines. The study also discusses, in general, the experimental approach to measuring temperature.

Abstract
Colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) are clinically heterogeneous lesions with poor prognosis. Genetic alterations play a crucial role in their progression. The traditional Fong clinical risk score (Fong-CRS) is commonly used for risk stratification and prognosis prediction. By identifying the genomic alterations of CRLMs, we aimed to develop a mutation-based gene-signature-based clinical score (mut-CS) system to improve clinical prognostication. Tumour tissues from 144 patients with CRLMs were analysed with next-generation sequencing (NGS). A mut-CS scoring system considering the unique mutation-based gene signature, primary site, and Fong-CRS was developed and could identify CRLM patients with poor prognosis. The mean time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve AUC value of the mut-CS system was greater than that of previously established scoring measures (the Fong-CRS, the e-clinical score, the presence of concomitant RAS and TP53 mutations, and other clinical traits). Taking together, we identified a mutant signature that exhibits a strong prognostic effect for CRLMs. Traditional clinical scoring system characteristics were incorporated into the new mut-CS scoring system to help determine the appropriate treatment for CRLMs.

Abstract
We report high-precision measurements of the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) cross section at high values of the Bjorken variable x_{B}. DVCS is sensitive to the generalized parton distributions of the nucleon, which provide a three-dimensional description of its internal constituents. Using the exact analytic expression of the DVCS cross section for all possible polarization states of the initial and final electron and nucleon, and final state photon, we present the first experimental extraction of all four helicity-conserving Compton form factors (CFFs) of the nucleon as a function of x_{B}, while systematically including helicity flip amplitudes. In particular, the high accuracy of the present data demonstrates sensitivity to some very poorly known CFFs.

Abstract
We present new precision measurements of the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section for momentum transfer (Q^{2}) up to 15.75 (GeV/c)^{2}. Combined with existing data, these provide an improved extraction of the proton magnetic form factor at high Q^{2} and double the range over which a longitudinal or transverse separation of the cross section can be performed. The difference between our results and polarization data agrees with that observed at lower Q^{2} and attributed to hard two-photon exchange (TPE) effects, extending to 8 (GeV/c)^{2} the range of Q^{2} for which a discrepancy is established at >95% confidence. We use the discrepancy to quantify the size of TPE contributions needed to explain the cross section at high Q^{2}.

Abstract
449 Background: Most patients (pts) with hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) are diagnosed at intermediate to advanced stages, at which they have missed the opportunity for curative resection. Combining a PD-1 inhibitor with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)has achieved a high response rate for advanced HCC in first- and second-line settings. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy with sintilimab (PD-1 inhibitor) plus Lenvatinib (TKI) in pts with unresectable locally intermediate advanced HCC. Methods: This was a phase 2, single-arm study (NCT04042805). Eligible pts were adults who were newly diagnosed with HCC, not amenable to curative resection, no extrahepatic metastasis, with an ECOG PS 0-1 and Child-Pugh class A/B. Pts received 12mg or 8mg oral Lenvatinib daily plus 200mg intravenous sintilimab every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, followed by multidisciplinary assessment and potential hepatectomy. The primary endpoint was tumor objective response rate (ORR) RECIST version 1.1. Secondary endpoints included conversion resection rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: Between August 1, 2019, and September 1, 2021, 26 pts were enrolled with a median age of 60 years (range, 30-78). The study population was predominantly male (92%), and 92% were HBV-positive. Patients were classified as BCLC stage B (46%) and stage C (54%). Twenty-six pts were evaluable for response, with an ORR of 35% (95%CI, 0.15-0.54) and a DCR of 92% (95%CI, 0.81-0.99). Seven (27%) pts received hepatectomy, and 1 (4%) patient received radical ablation and stereotactic radiotherapy. With a median follow-up of 9 months (range, 2-24), the median PFS and OS were not reached. All pts were evaluable for toxicity, and 20 (77%) pts had at least one treatment-related AE (TRAE). TRAEs occurring in ≥20% of pts were hypothyroidism (38%), proteinuria (31%), and hypertension (23%). Five pts had grade 3 TRAEs. Conclusions: In view of the encouraging response rate observed and the acceptable safety profile, the lenvatinib plus sintilimab regimen may achieve a favorable conversion rate and be a feasible conversion therapy for patients with unresectable locally intermediate to advanced HCC. Clinical trial information: NCT04042805.

Abstract
We report measurements of the exclusive neutral pion electroproduction cross section off protons at large values of x_{B} (0.36, 0.48, and 0.60) and Q^{2} (3.1 to 8.4 GeV^{2}) obtained from Jefferson Lab Hall A experiment E12-06-014. The corresponding structure functions dσ_{T}/dt+εdσ_{L}/dt, dσ_{TT}/dt, dσ_{LT}/dt, and dσ_{LT^{'}}/dt are extracted as a function of the proton momentum transfer t-t_{min}. The results suggest the amplitude for transversely polarized virtual photons continues to dominate the cross section throughout this kinematic range. The data are well described by calculations based on transversity generalized parton distributions coupled to a helicity flip distribution amplitude of the pion, thus providing a unique way to probe the structure of the nucleon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatectomy combined with intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (IORFA) is a strategy to eliminate all tumors in patients with multiple colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). This study aimed to evaluate the surgical and oncological outcomes of hepatectomy + IORFA for multiple unresectable CRLM. METHODS We included patients who underwent combined hepatectomy and IORFA for multiple unresectable CRLM (n = 67) or hepatectomy alone (n = 268) for CRLM. Patients were matched in a 1:1 propensity score analysis to compare the short- and long-term outcomes between groups. RESULTS Patients in hepatectomy + IORFA group had a median number of 10 liver lesions. Postoperative morbidity and the rate of major complications was similar between groups (P = 0.362, P = 1.000). The median overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS) and hepatic recurrence free survival (HRFS) was similar between groups (3-year OS: 54.2% versus 60.9%, P = 0.389; 3-year PFS: 7.9% versus 19.6%, P = 0.148; 3-year HRFS: 16.7% versus 31.5%, P = 0.202). Re-hepatectomy or radiofrequency ablation was used to treat 47.5% of hepatic recurrences, and the median OS was significantly higher than for patients treated with systemic treatment alone (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Combining hepatectomy and IORFA could provide comparable survival rates for patients with multiple unresectable CRLM compared to those with resectable CRLM treated with hepatectomy alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to observe the protective effect of Ulinastatin on myocardial injury induced by doxorubicin (DOX) in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS 30 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control group, DOX group, and Ulinastatin group by random number table method. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with saline, while the DOX group and the Ulinastatin group were injected intraperitoneally with DOX (2 mg/kg) once every other day to establish an acute myocardial injury (AMI) model. In the Ulinastatin group, Ulinastatin (1500 IU/100 mg) was injected intraperitoneally once a day for 2 weeks after the model was established. The changes in cardiac structure were observed with a light microscope, the changes in cardiac function in rats were detected with biochemical kits, and expression of oxidative stress and inflammatory response-related factors were detected by Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS Myocardial tissues in the control group were neatly arranged and dense, with complete and clear structure. The myocardial tissues in the DOX group were disorderly arranged, the interstitial fibrosis was evident, and the myocardial transverse striations broke and disappeared. The structure of tissues in Ulinastatin group was dramatically relieved compared with DOX group. The serum SOD and GSH-Px levels of the DOX groups were significantly lower than those of the control group, while the levels of MDA and ROS were dramatically higher than those of the control group. The serum SOD and GSH-Px level of Ulinastatin group were higher than that of DOX group, and the levels of MDA and ROS were lower than those of DOX group. LDH, AST, ALT, and CK levels were dramatically higher than those in the control group, while the above-mentioned serum myocardial zymogram levels in the Ulinastatin group were decreased. The expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS in the DOX and Ulinastatin groups were dramatically higher than those in the control group, while the expressions of the above inflammatory factors in the Ulinastatin group were all inhibited. CONCLUSIONS Ulinastatin intervention can reduce myocardial injury in rats with DOX. The protective effect may be due to the elimination of oxygen free radicals, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, reduced lipid peroxidation and inflammatory responses, and thus repaired myocardial injury.

Abstract
e16004 Background: Patients of colorectal cancer with liver metastatic (CRLM) show various in recurrence and prognosis. Previous researches have revealed that the disfunction of DNA damage repair (DDR) signaling pathways was correlative with oncogenesis and poor prognosis. Here we aimed to determine the impact of DDR gene mutations on survival in patients undergoing CRLM resection. Methods: Tumor tissues from 164 patients with CRLM were collected for next generation sequencing (NGS). Single nucleotide variants, indels, and copy number variations were obtained from a 620-gene panel, including 68 genes in 7 DDR signaling pathways. Correlations of mutations in DDR genes with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were determined by using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: 152/164 of patients carried at least one of DDR gene alternations. The most frequently mutated gene was TP53 (132/164), followed by CHEK2 (21/164), BRCA2 (10/164), ATM (9/164), PRKDC (8/164), FANCM (8/164), ATR (7/164), POLE (5/164), BRCA1 (4/164), POLD (3/164). Survival analysis indicated that TP53 mutations were not correlated with OS and RFS (P = 0.38 and 0.21). Further analysis in the TP53mut subgroup showed that the patients with other DDR gene mutations (64/132, 48.48%) exhibited a significantly worse OS than the wild type ones (P = 0.04). Especially, gene alternations involving in the Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway were significantly associated with worse OS and RFS (P = 0.0014 and 0.006). Interestingly, besides the TP53 mutation, patients carrying more than 2 other DDR gene mutations (10/64, 15.63%) also showed worse OS and RFS than patients with single mutation and wild type in DDR genes. (OS: 19 vs 35 months, P = 0.053; RFS: 3 vs 11 months, P = 0.084). Conclusions: Mutations in DDR signaling pathways predicted worse survival in TP53-mutated CRLM patients after surgery. These findings may be useful for clinical decision making in patients with tumor characteristics associated with poor prognosis and for risk stratification of patients in future clinical studies.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of a cluster of 5 confirmed COVID⁃19 cases related with the transmission in incubation period of initial case, and find out the infection source and transmission chain.. Methods: According to "The Prevention and Control Protocol for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Third Edition)" issued by the National Health Commission, a field epidemiological survey was conducted for the 5 cases in January 2020. Nasopharyngeal swabs and sputum samples were collected from them for the detection of 2019-nCoV by real time RT-PCR. Multi prevention and control measures were taken, such as tracking and screening close contacts, medical isolation observation, investigating the epidemiological link, analyzing transmission chain. Results: Case 1, who had common environmental exposure with other COVID⁃19 cases, got sick on 20 January, 2020 and was confirmed on 1 February. Case 2 became symptomatic on 22 January and was confirmed on 27 January. Case 3 got sick on 25 January and was confirmed on 30 January. Case 4 had illness onset on 20 January and was confirmed on 1 February. Case 5 got sick on 23 January and was confirmed on 31 January. Among the 5 cases, case 2 died and the illness of other cases were effectively controlled. After exclusion of other common exposure factors, case 1 had a 6-hour meeting with case 2 and case 3 on 19 January. Case 2 and case 3 might be infected by case 1 during the incubation period. It is the key point for epidemiological investigation. Conclusion: The epidemiological investigation indicates that the transmission might occur in the incubation period of COVID-19 case, close attention should be paid to it in future COVID-19 prevention and control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been identified as crucial regulators in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical role and biological effects of long non-coding RNA EWSAT1 in CRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of lncRNA EWSAT1 was detected in 106 cases of fresh CRC tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues by qRT-PCR analyses. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used to assess the association between lncRNA EWSAT1 expression and overall survival (OS) rate of CRC patients. Cell proliferation and invasion capacity were evaluated by CCK8 assay, colony formation, and transwell invasion assays. The protein expression was detected using western blot analysis. RESULTS LncRNA EWSAT1 expression was abnormally higher in CRC tissues compared to matched adjacent normal tissues. Higher lncRNA EWSAT1 expression significantly associated with depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, and advanced tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage in CRC patients. Patients with higher EWSAT1 expression exhibited shorter OS compared with patients with lower EWSAT1 expression. Furthermore, lncRNA EWSAT1 knockdown significantly suppressed cell proliferation and invasion in CRC. In addition, lncRNA EWSAT1 knockdown suppressed cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through reducing Snail1, Snail2, and N-cadherin expression, but increasing E-cadherin expression in CRC cells. CONCLUSIONS Downregulation of lncRNA EWSAT1 suppressed cell proliferation and invasion of CRC, which indicated that EWSAT1 may be a potential target of CRC treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-497 on myocardial cell apoptosis in rats with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) through the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS A rat model of myocardial I/R was established, myocardial cells were extracted, and miR-497 was inhibited by inhibitors and overexpressed using miRNA mimics. The cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The interaction between miR-497 and ERK was determined by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. The change in the protein level was measured via Western blotting (WB). RESULTS Up-regulation of miR-497 promoted myocardial cell apoptosis, and the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of ERK was highly conserved to combine with miR-497. The luciferase reporter gene assay showed that the transfection of miR-497 could significantly inhibit the relative luciferase activity in cells. CONCLUSIONS MiR-497 overexpression significantly down-regulated the ERK expression at messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels in cells. MiR-497 plays an important role in regulating I/R injury-induced myocardial cell apoptosis by targeting the ERK-induced apoptosis pathway.

Abstract
e15157 Background: To investigate mutation profiling in Chinese patients with colorectal liver metastases and explore new prognostic biomarkers. Methods: We investigated 197 patients who underwent surgery for colorectal liver metastases at Beijing Cancer Hospital between January 2015 and February 2017. Tumor DNA was isolated from FFPE tissues from liver metastatic lesions. Mutation spectrum was obtained by targeted deep sequencing of 620 selected genes. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was defined as the number of non-synonymous mutations per 1Mbp and divided into quartiles. MSI status was tested with next-generation sequencing. Studies of impacts of mutation status on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were performed with Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Mutation significance analysis confirmed enrichment in colorectal cancer driver gene mutations of TP53, APC, KRAS, SMAD4, SOX9, FBXW7 and PIK3CA in 72%, 61%, 29%, 14%, 10%, 10% and 9% of liver metastases, with no BRAF mutation found in any of these patients. Additionally, we observed frequent gene-level copy number variations, including amplifications of MYC, BRCA2, ERBB2, CCND2 and deletion of APC. Among 197 patients, only three showed MSI-high, who also exhibited high TMBs. Moreover, KRAS, MXRA5, and SETD2 mutations were significantly associated with shorter DFS ( KRAS mt vs wt: 8 months vs 11 months, p = 0.0086; MXRA5 mt vs wt: 6 months vs 11 months, p = 0.0178; SETD2 mt vs wt: 8 months vs 11 months, p = 0.0381), but KMT2A mutation associated with longer DFS (mt vs wt: 31.5 months vs 10 months, p = 0.0409). SPEN, GNAS, CTNNB1, SETD2 and FANCM mutations were significantly associated with poor OS ( SPEN mt vs wt: 23 months vs 30 months, p = 0.0047; GNAS mt vs wt: 24.5 months vs 30 months, p = 0.0386; CTNNB1 mt vs wt: 20 months vs 30 months, p = 0.0001; SETD2 mt vs wt: 20 months vs 30 months, p = 0.0026; FANCM mt vs wt: 13 months vs 30 months, p = 0.0007). Conclusions: Our study has found a novel panel of prognostic biomarkers in colorectal liver metastases. The clinical significance of mutations of MXRA5, SETD2, KMT2A, SPEN, GNAS, CTNNB1, FANCM needs to be confirmed on a larger scale.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that miR-107 could be utilized as a potential peripheral biomarker in prostate cancer (PCa). However, the specific functions of miR-107 in prostate cancer and its relevant mechanisms are still unknown. The aim of this research was to investigate the cellular functions of miR-107 in PCa and reveal the relevant mechanisms. MicroRNA tailing quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was adopted to measure the expression of miR-107 in PCa cell line DU145 and PC3, as well as in normal prostate cell line RWPE-1. The miR-107 expression pattern in PCa tissues and paired peritumoral tissues were determined by Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH). Cell viability, colony formation, flow cytometry cell cycle and apoptosis, wound healing and Transwell migration assays were performed to study the miR-107 functions in PCa cells. Further, qRT-PCR, western blot analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted to verify the target of miR-107 in PCa. Results demonstrated that miR-107 was downregulated in PCa cells and tissues in comparison with normal prostate cells and peritumoral tissues, and the over-expression of miR-107 suppressed proliferation and induced G1/S arrest of PCa cells but had no effects on apoptosis or cell motility of PCa cells. MiR-107 was found to target cyclin E1 (CCNE1) in PCa cells by directly binding to its 3'-UTR. In conclusion, miR-107 could be a potential tumor suppressor in PCa, and the restoration of miR-107 might provide a new therapeutic option for PCa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We previously reported that genetic ablation of (Fibroblast Growth Factors Receptors) FGFR1 in knee cartilage attenuates the degeneration of articular cartilage in adult mice, which suggests that FGFR1 is a potential targeting molecule for osteoarthritis (OA). Here, we identified R1-P1, an inhibitory peptide for FGFR1 and investigated its effect on the pathogenesis of OA in mice induced by destabilization of medial meniscus (DMM). DESIGN Binding ability between R1-P1 and FGFR1 protein was evaluated by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) and molecular docking. Alterations in cartilage were evaluated histologically. The expression levels of molecules associated with articular cartilage homeostasis and FGFR1 signaling were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The chondrocyte apoptosis was detected by terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. RESULTS R1-P1 had highly binding affinities to human FGFR1 protein, and efficiently inhibited extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 pathway in mouse primary chondrocytes. In addition, R1-P1 attenuated the IL-1β induced significant loss of proteoglycan in full-thickness cartilage tissue from human femur head. Moreover, this peptide can significantly restore the IL-1β mediated loss of proteoglycan and type II collagen (Col II) and attenuate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP13) in mouse primary chondrocytes. Finally, intra-articular injection of R1-P1 remarkably attenuated the loss of proteoglycan and the destruction of articular cartilage and decreased the expressions of extracellular matrix (ECM) degrading enzymes and apoptosis in articular chondrocytes of mice underwent DMM surgery. CONCLUSIONS R1-P1, a novel inhibitory peptide for FGFR1, attenuates the degeneration of articular cartilage in adult mice, which is a potential leading molecule for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the hospitalization rate at early period of kidney transplantation (KT) is still high, the association between the hospitalization within 1 year after KT and graft survival is unclear. We investigated the incidence and causes of hospitalization and clinical outcome of the patients hospitalized within 1 year after KT. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 174 KT recipients (KTRs) hospitalized within 1 year after KT between 2013 and 2015. RESULTS Among them, 84 (48%) KTRs were admitted within 1 year after KT, and the number of hospitalizations was 116. The mean time from KT to first hospitalization was 4.2 months. Seventy-eight percent of the patients were hospitalized for medical causes and 22% for surgical causes. The most common cause was cytomegalovirus infection (CMV) (23.3%), followed by acute rejection (11.2%) and urinary tract infection (10.3%). Recipients and donors in the hospitalized group were significantly older than the nonhospitalized group. The proportions of deceased donor KT, acute rejection, more than 50% panel-reactive antibody, and positive donor-specific antibody were significantly higher in the hospitalized group than in the nonhospitalized group. Graft and patient survivals were lower in the hospitalized group than in the nonhospitalized group. Deceased donor KT and acute rejection were independent risk factors for hospitalization. CONCLUSION The incidence of KTRs hospitalized within 1 year after KT was high. Most causes of hospitalization were CMV infection, acute rejection, and urinary tract infection. Therefore, the immunosuppression status of these patients should be closely monitored to reduce the hospitalization rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of decellularized osteochondral extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold for osteochondral defect regeneration. DESIGN We compared the histological features and microstructure of degenerated cartilage to normal articular cartilage. We also generated and evaluated osteochondral ECM scaffolds through decellularization technology. Then scaffolds were implanted to osteochondral defect in rabbit model. After 12 weeks surgery, regeneration tissues were analyzed by histology, immunohistochemistry evaluation. And possible mechanisms of angiogenesis and cell migration were explored. RESULTS We demonstrated decreased cell numbers, formation of fibrous cartilage, lost microstructure and worse permeability in degenerated cartilage compared to normal cartilage. We also generated an osteochondral ECM scaffold with a hierarchical structure that exhibited low immunogenicity, high bioactivity, and well biocompatibility. We found that the ECM scaffold promoted tissue regeneration in osteochondral defects, which was dependent on the scaffold constituents and stratified three-dimensional microstructure as well as on its ability to inhibit angiogenesis and stimulate cell migration. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrated that the biphasic hierarchical ECM scaffold represents a novel and effective biomaterial that can be used in the treatment of osteochondral defect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mean age of patients starting dialysis in Korea has increased to older than 60 years and the proportion of patients aged 65 and older exceeded 40% in 2014. Although the number of elderly dialysis patients is increasing rapidly, percentages of elderly patients undergoing kidney transplantation (KT) are very low. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent KT at Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center between 1982 and 2016. Elderly patients (≥65 years old) were compared with the control group of patients in their early sixties (60-64 years old). RESULTS Among a total of 1209 KT patients, those in their early sixties totaled 34 (2.8%) and the elderly totaled only 18 (1.5%). Patient and allograft survival rate showed no significant differences between the elderly and those in their early sixties. Death with a functioning graft accounted for 50% in both groups. However, occurrences of bacterial infection and tuberculosis were higher in the elderly (P = .011 and .047, respectively). In a multivariate analysis, longer duration of renal replacement therapy before KT and the occurrence of malignancy were independent risk factors for patient death (hazard ratio [HR], 1.027; P = .014; HR, 31.934; P = .016, respectively). Also, albuminuria at 6 months after KT was an independent risk factor for allograft loss (HR, 51.155; P = .016). CONCLUSION The overall survival rate of the elderly was not significantly lower than those in their early sixties. Even in the elderly, KT should not be delayed. In addition, careful surveillance for malignancy and measures to decrease the risk of infection are necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney re-transplantation is commonly considered to have a higher immunological risk than first kidney transplantation. Because of the organ shortage and increasing waiting lists, long-term outcomes of kidney re-transplantation are being studied. However, reports of re-transplantation outcomes are not common. We have reported our 30 years of experience with second kidney transplantations. METHODS Of 1210 kidney transplantations between November 1982 and August 2016 performed in our hospital, 105 were second kidney transplantations (2nd KT). Living donor KT was 44; deceased donor KT was 61. RESULTS Patient survival rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 100%, 97.2%, and 90.7%, and graft survival rates were 97.0%, 94.6%, and 71.5%, respectively. The leading cause of graft failure in the 2nd KT was chronic rejection (60%). In addition, induction immunosuppressant, maintenance immunosuppressant, delayed graft function, and graft survival time at the 1st KT had a significant impact on graft survival time at the 2nd KT. CONCLUSIONS Reasonable results in both patient survival and graft survival rates were found in the 2nd KT. Careful monitoring of immunologic risk is needed.

Abstract
Background N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is a histone acetyltransferase which is involved in a wide range of cellular processes. Recent evidences indicate that NAT10 is involved in the development of human cancers. Previous study showed that NAT10 acetylates the tumor suppressor p53 and regulates p53 activation. As Tp53 gene is frequently mutated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and associates with the occurrence and development of HCC, the relationship between NAT10 and HCC was investigated in this study. Methods Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blot analysis were performed to evaluate the NAT10 expression in HCC. Immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to verify the interaction of NAT10 with mutant p53 and Mdm2. RNA interference and Western blot were applied to determine the effect of NAT10 on mutant p53. Cell growth curve was used to examine the effect of NAT10 on HCC cell proliferation. Results NAT10 was upregulated in HCC and increased NAT10 expression was correlated with poor overall survival of the patients. NAT10 protein levels were significantly correlated with p53 levels in human HCC tissues. Furthermore, NAT10 increased mutant p53 levels by counteracting Mdm2 action in HCC cells and promoted proliferation in cells carrying p53 mutation. Conclusion Increased NAT10 expression levels are associated with shortened patient survival and correlated with mutant p53 levels. NAT10 upregulates mutant p53 level and might enhance its tumorigenic activity. Hence, we propose that NAT10 is a potential prognostic and therapeutic candidate for p53-mutated HCC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although CA125 and the tumor immune response have been reported to be associated with pancreatic cancer, their prognostic value for advanced pancreatic cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy remain uncertain. We thus studied the prognostic value of the combination of the CA125 level with the CD4/CD8 ratio. METHODS After excluding patients who were lost to follow-up or for whom complete clinical data were missing, 369 participants were ultimately examined. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox hazards model, and Kaplan-Meier methods and log-rank tests were used for the comparison of survival rates. RESULTS Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that a high CA125 level and a high CD4/CD8 ratio were independent prognostic factors (CA125 ≥ 35 U/ml, Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.90, p < 0.001; CD4/CD8 ≥ 1.8, HR = 1.37, p = 0.004). Moreover, after combining the CA125 level and CD4/CD8 ratio to form a new scoring system, the HR was substantially elevated (CA125 ≥ 35 U/ml and CD4/CD8 ≥ 1.8, score 2, HR = 2.76, 95% confidence interval: 2.04 to 3.74, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A new scoring system based on the combination of the CA125 level with the CD4/CD8 ratio could further predict the prognosis of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) as a metastatic disease is currently incurable. Unfortunately reliable and reproducible methods for testing drugs against metastasis are not available. We have previously developed a robust metastatic model in which mice are pretreated with tumor cell-conditioned media (TCM) from human TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231 and SUM149) for 2 weeks prior to tumor cell inoculation. In this model we found reproducible metastases in lymph nodes (LN) and lungs within 4-5 weeks after orthotopic tumor inoculation [1]. We have discovered that the TNBC cells secrete large amounts of interleukin-6 (IL-6) that “educates” lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) in the LN and lungs. Stat3, a transcription factor, gets activated and induces the synthesis of CCL5 and VEGF among other factors. CCL5 recruits the tumor cells to the LN and lungs; VEGF helps build blood vessels in the LN to facilitate tumor cell survival; VEGF produced in the lung helps the tumor cells extravasate into the lung. We have confirmed the importance of these factors by showing that inhibitors of these factors significantly inhibit metastasis.
In this report, using Maraviroc (CCR5 inhibitor) and cMR16-1 Ab (murine surrogate of the anti-IL-6R antibody), we investigated the effect of the combination treatment on the tumor growth and metastasis of orthotopic tumor xenografts generated from MDA-MB-231-Luc-D3H2LN cells. 2x106 TNBC cells tagged with luciferase were suspended in 100 μl PBS/Matrigel (1:1) and injected s.c. into female 3- to 4-week-old BALB/c nu/nu athymic mice pretreated with tumor cell-conditioned media (TCM) from TNBC cells for 2 weeks. We administered the Maraviroc (8 mg/kg Maraviroc, orally daily) and cMR16-1 Ab (i.p. 3-days per week) for 5 weeks. Our data show that tumor growth was dramatically inhibited by cMR16-1 Ab. Further, the drug combination of Maraviroc with cMR16-1 Ab caused significant reduction of TNBC tumor growth in mice compared to single agents. In addition, we measured thoracic metastases by adding luciferin to mice and measuring luminescence ex-vivo in the IVIS imager. Significantly, both single treatment of Maraviroc and the combination of Maraviroc with cMR16-1 abrogated the thoracic metastasis compared to control and single treatment of cMR16-1.
These findings implicate IL-6 and CCL5 signaling as a critical event in TNBC tumor growth and metastasis via crosstalk between cancer cells and stromal components. Further, these studies suggest that IL-6 and CCL5 act as key regulators orchestrating TNBC metastatic breast cancer. Therefore, we have provided evidence that supports the hypothesis that functional inhibition of the IL-6 and CCL-5 signaling pathway has the potential to circumvent TNBC growth and metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is highly expressed in many types of tumors, including pancreatic cancer. Tumor cellderived VEGF promotes angiogenesis and tumor progression. However, the role of VEGF in glucose metabolism remains unclear. OBJECTIVE We investigated the role and the underlying mechanism of VEGF in the glucose metabolism of pancreatic cancer cells. METHOD Pancreatic cancer cells were stimulated with VEGF165 for 1 or 2 h. The oxygen consumption rates (OCR) and extracellular acidification rates (ECAR) were measured using the Seahorse XF96 Extracellular Flux Analyzer. Glycolytic enzymes were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) was silenced by shRNA in order to investigate its role in VEGF-induced glycolysis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to identify the correlation among VEGF, NRP1 and hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) in pancreatic cancer tissues. RESULTS VEGF stimulation led to a metabolic transition from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis in pancreatic cancer. HIF1α and NRP1 protein levels were both increased after VEGF stimulation. The down-regulation of NRP1 reduced glycolysis in pancreatic cancer cells. NRP1 and VEGF levels both correlated with HIF1α expression in pancreatic tumor tissues. CONCLUSION VEGF enhances glycolysis in pancreatic cancer via HIF1α up-regulation. NRP1 plays a key role in VEGF-induced glycolysis.

Abstract
Regulation of crucial lncRNAs involved in differentiation of chicken embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to spermatogonia stem cells (SSCs) was explored by sequencing the transcriptome of ESCs, primordial germ cells (PGCs) and SSCs with RNA-Seq; analytical bioinformatic methods were used to excavate candidate lncRNAs. We detected expression of candidate lncRNAs in ESCs, PGCs and SSCs and forecasted related target genes. Utilizing wego, david and string, function and protein-protein interactions of target genes were analyzed. Finally, based on string analysis, interaction diagrams and relevant signaling pathways were established. Our results indicate a total of 9657 lncRNAs in ESCs, PGCs and SSCs, with 3549 defined as significantly different. We screened 20 candidate lncRNAs, each demonstrating a greater than eight-fold difference in |logFC| value between groups (ESCs vs. PGCs, ESCs vs. SSCs and PGCs vs. SSCs) or specifically expressed in an individual cell type. qRT-PCR results indicated that expression tendencies of candidate lncRNAs were consistent with RNA-Seq. Fifteen cis and four trans target genes were forecasted. Based on wego and string analyses, we found lnc-SSC1, lnc-SSC5, lnc-SSC2 and lnc-ESC2 negatively regulated target genes SUFU, EPHA3, KLF3, ARL3 and TRIM8, whereas SHH, NOTCH, TGF-β, cAMP/cGMP and JAK/STAT signaling pathways were promoted, causing differentiation of ESCs into SSCs. Our findings represent a preliminary unveiling of lncRNA-associated regulatory mechanisms during differentiation of chicken ESCs into SSCs, filling a research void in male germ cell differentiation related to lncRNA. Our results also provide basic information for improving in vitro induction systems for differentiation of chicken ESCs into SSCs.

Abstract
In this opinion article we examine the relationship between penetrometer resistance and soil depth in the field. Assuming that root growth is inhibited at penetrometer resistances > 2.5 MPa, we conclude that in most circumstances the increases in penetrometer resistance with depth are sufficiently great to confine most deep roots to elongating in existing structural pores. We suggest that deep rooting is more likely related to the interaction between root architecture and soil structure than it is to the ability of a root to deform strong soil. Although the ability of roots to deform strong soil is an important trait, we propose it is more closely related to root exploration of surface layers than deep rooting.
