Abstract
While it is known that associative memory is preferentially encoded by memory-eligible "primed" neurons, real-time neural activity hierarchy has not been quantitatively determined and little is known about how such a hierarchy is established. Leveraging in vivo calcium imaging of hippocampal neurons on freely behaving mice, we developed the first method to quantify real-time neural activity hierarchy in the CA1 region. Neurons on the top of activity hierarchy are identified as primed neurons. In cilia knockout mice that exhibit severe learning deficits, the percentage of primed neurons is drastically reduced. To examine how an activity hierarchy is formed, we developed a simplified neural network model that incorporates simulations of linear and non-linear weighted conductance, modeling the synaptic ionic contributions of AMPA and NMDA receptors, respectively. We found that moderate non-linear to linear conductance ratios naturally leads a small fraction of neurons to become more active than others. Removal of the non-linear conductance eliminates an existing activity hierarchy and reintroducing it back to the network stochastically primes a new pool of neurons. Experimentally, blockade of NMDA receptors by ketamine not only temporarily decreases general neuronal activity causing learning impairment, but also disrupts the existing neural activity hierarchy in the hippocampus. Together, this study develops a unique method to measure neural activity hierarchy for associative learning and identifies NMDA receptors as a key factor that controls the hierarchy. It presents the first evidence suggesting that hierarchy disruption by NMDA receptor blockade, at least in part, accounts for dissociation and psychosis.

Abstract
The precise molecular mechanism behind fetal growth restriction (FGR) is still unclear, although there is a strong connection between placental dysfunction, inadequate trophoblast invasion, and its etiology and pathogenesis. As a new type of non-coding RNA, circRNA has been shown to play a crucial role in the development of FGR. This investigation identified the downregulation of hsa_circ_0034533 (circTHBS1) in FGR placentas through high-sequencing analysis and confirmed this finding in 25 clinical placenta samples using qRT-PCR. Subsequent in vitro functional assays demonstrated that silencing circTHBS1 inhibited trophoblast proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression and promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, when circTHBS1 was overexpressed, cell function experiments showed the opposite result. Analysis using fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that circTHBS1 was primarily found in the cytoplasmic region. Through bioinformatics analysis, we anticipated the involvement of miR-136-3p and IGF2R in downstream processes, which was subsequently validated through qRT-PCR and dual-luciferase assays. Moreover, the inhibition of miR-136-3p or the overexpression of IGF2R partially reinstated proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities following the silencing of circTHBS1. In summary, the circTHBS1/miR-136-3p/IGF2R axis plays a crucial role in the progression and development of FGR, offering potential avenues for the exploration of biological indicators and treatment targets.

Abstract
The primary cilium is a hair-like organelle that hosts molecular machinery for various developmental and homeostatic signaling pathways. Its alteration can cause severe ciliopathies such as the Bardet-Biedl and Joubert syndromes, but is also linked to Alzheimer's disease, clinical depression, and autism spectrum disorder. These afflictions are caused by disturbances in a variety of genes but a common phenotype amongst them is cognitive impairment. Cilia-mediated neural function has generally been examined in relation to these diseases or other developmental defects, but the role of cilia in brain function and memory consolidation is unknown. To elucidate the role of cilia in neural activity and cognitive function, we temporally ablated primary cilia in adult mice before performing electroencephalogram/electromyogram (EEG/EMG) recordings. We found that cilia deficient mice had altered sleep architecture, reduced EEG power, and attenuated phase-amplitude coupling, a process that underlies memory consolidation. These results highlight the growing significance of cilia, demonstrating that they are not only necessary in early neurodevelopment, but also regulate advanced neural functions in the adult brain.

Abstract
Peri-implant infra-bony defects are difficult to treat, and data on the management of peri-implantitis are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a combined surgical approach to manage peri-implantitis: implantoplasty with xenogeneic bone grafting and a concentrated growth factor membrane. Two independent examiners analysed the medical records and radiographs taken before surgery and at the last follow-up. Data were analysed at the implant level; some patient-level data (age, sex, smoking habit) were also considered. Linear regression analysis with generalized estimating equations (GEE) was used to explore the effect of variables of interest (including marginal bone level (MBL)) on implantitis treatment success and resolution rates. The effect of the prosthesis type on postoperative clinical and radiographic parameters was also explored by GEE, with adjustment for age, sex, tooth site, location, follow-up duration, and implant length (model IV including all). Thirty patients with 72 implants were investigated. The implant survival rate was 100% over a mean observation period of 3.3 years (range 2-11 years). The treatment success rate (bone loss <0.5 mm, no bleeding on probing (BOP), no suppuration, probing depth (PD) < 5 mm) was higher in females than males (50% vs 19.0%; P = 0.008). At the last postoperative follow-up, the MBL (1.51 ± 1.07 vs 4.01 ± 1.13 mm), PD (3.61 ± 0.84 vs 6.54 ± 1.01 mm), and BOP (23.38 ± 23.18% vs 79.17 ± 15.51%) were significantly reduced when compared to pre-surgery values (all P < 0.001). Furthermore, a significantly higher PD reduction (β = -1.10 mm, 95% confidence interval -1.97 to -0.23 mm, P = 0.014) was observed for implants with a single crown than a full-arch prosthesis (GEE model IV). Preliminary clinical and radiographic data indicate that implantoplasty in combination with surgery could be an effective treatment option for peri-implantitis.

Abstract
Therapeutics based on proteins and peptides have profoundly transformed the landscape of treatment for diseases, from diabetes mellitus to cancers, yet the short half-life and low bioavailability of therapeutic proteins and peptides hinder their wide applications. To break through this bottleneck, biomolecules-loaded polymersomes with strong adjustability and versatility have attracted more and more attentions recently. Loading proteins or peptides into polymersomes is the first but extremely important step towards developing high-quality formulation products. However, increasing protein and peptide loading content is quite challenging due to the inherent nature of self-assembled vesicle formation mechanism and physiochemical characteristics of biomacromolecules. This review highlights the potential of polymersomes as the next-generation therapeutic proteins and peptides carrier and emphatically introduces novel approaches and recent progress to achieve satisfactory encapsulation capability of polymersomes for proteins and peptides. On the one hand, with the help of intermolecular interactions, such as electrostatic, lipid-protein, and hydrophobic interactions, the drug loading could be significantly improved. On the other hand, loading improvement could be attained through innovation of preparation methods, ranging from modified traditional film hydration techniques to the novel phase-guided assembly method.

Abstract
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is one of the most common complications of an abnormal pregnancy. Placental dysplasia has been established as a significant contributing factor to FGR. Zinc finger protein 554 (ZNF554) is a member of the Krüppel-associated box domain zinc finger protein subfamily, primarily expressed in the placenta and essential for maintaining normal pregnancy outcomes. However, its precise role in FGR remains uncertain. In this study, we confirmed that ZNF554 was low expressed in the placenta of the FGR pregnancy. To further elucidate the impact of ZNF554 on trophoblasts, we conducted experiments using siRNA and overexpression plasmids on HTR8/SVneo and JEG3 cells. Our findings revealed that silencing ZNF554 increased apoptosis and inhibited migration and invasion, while overexpression reduced apoptosis and promoted migration and invasion. Notably, ZNF554 knockdown decreased cellular antioxidant capacity and elevated the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Conversely, ZNF554 activated the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) signaling pathway, exerting its antioxidant effects. Additionally, ZNF554 knockdown promoted cellular autophagy by suppressing P62 and enhancing LC3-II/LC3-I expression. Importantly, the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) partially mitigated the impact of ZNF554 knockdown on mitochondrial ROS in trophoblast cells and subsequent effects on cellular autophagy and apoptosis. In conclusion, our results suggest that ZNF554 plays a pivotal role in modulating trophoblast cell invasion and may serve as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for FGR.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), as one major component of tumor microenvironment (TME), are closely associated with tumor initiation and progression. Our previous studies have discovered that CAFs induced the resistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells to a variety of chemotherapeutic drugs such as cisplatin and paclitaxel. Furthermore, CAFs attenuated ionizing irradiation (IR)-induced cancer cells death by regulating DNA damage response. CAFs themselves are highly resistant to death stimuli due to enhanced antioxidant potential and DNA repair capacity. How to inhibit the malignant phenotype of CAFs is critically important for the radical treatment of ESCC. MATERIALS/METHODS By RNA-sequencing and DNA methylation analysis, the transcriptome and epigenome of CAFs and matched normal fibroblasts (NFs) have been integratively analyzed. By transfection of TCF21 cDNA plasmid, the expression of TCF21 in CAFs has been up-regulated. Using a cell counting kit and migration and invasion assay, the effect of TCF21 on the growth and migration and invasive ability of CAFs has been detected. Using immunofluorescence and flow cytometry (FCM) analysis and western blotting, the effect of TCF21 on the DNA damage repair and apoptotic death of CAFs following IR has been detected. RESULTS TCF21 is one of the top ten down-regulated genes in CAFs compared with NFs due to promoter methylation. Up-regulation of TCF21 expression inhibited the growth rate and migration and invasive ability of CAFs. The expression of α-SMA, as an indicator of CAFs activation, was down-regulated in CAFs which were transfected with TCF21 cDNA. Furthermore, when TCF21 cDNA was transfected into CAFs, IR-induced DNA damage was increased while DNA repair was inhibited in CAFs, suggesting that TCF21 was involved in DNA damage response of CAFs following IR. FCM analysis showed that up-regulation of TCF21 expression promoted IR-induced apoptotic death of CAFs. CONCLUSION TCF21 is a determinant of the malignant phenotype of CAFs in ESCC. Up-regulation of TCF21 expression is a promising approach of inhibiting the growth, migration and invasion, activation and radioresistance of CAFs in ESCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly lethal human malignance. Due to unobvious symptoms at early stage, most of the patients with PC are diagnosed at late stages and lose the chance of surgical resection. Furthermore, PC patients are resistant to chemoradiotherapy and therefore show a dismal survival. Hyperthermia is commonly used as a sensitizer of chemotherapy or radiotherapy for the clinical treatment of human cancers. Our study aimed to investigate whether hyperthermia can improve the radiosensitivity of PC cells and uncover the involved mechanisms. MATERIALS/METHODS PC cells BxPC3, CFPAC-1 and PANC1 were heated to 43 ℃ 1 h before exposure to ionizing irradiation (IR). The radiosensitivity of PC cells were detected in vitro by colony formation assay, immunofluence analysis and western blotting. The mechanisms studies have been conducted using qRT-PCR analysis, cDNA/siRNA transfection and comet assay. RESULTS Hyperthermia significantly enhanced the radiosensitivity of PC cells by decreasing their colony formation and increasing DNA damage following IR. By qRT-PCR analysis of Wnt genes expressions, we found Wnt2B was significantly down-regulated in PC-3 cells which were treated with the combination of hyperthermia and IR compared with hyperthermia or IR alone. Functional assays showed that the expression level of Wnt2B was inversely associated with the radiosensitivity of PC-3 cells. Furthermore, we found hyperthermia inhibited the expression of DNA repair proteins such as p-BRCA1 and p-MRE11 in PC cells following IR CONCLUSION: Hyperthermia can significantly enhance the radiosensitivity of PC cells in a Wnt2B signaling-dependent manner.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Real-time biology guided radiation therapy (BgRT) uses real-time positron emissions from a PET tracer during treatment to guide targeted radiation to cancerous lesions. Fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP) is highly expressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts in tumors with low expression in normal tissues. While 18F-FDG-PET requires fasting and has background in the liver and brain, 68-Gallium labeled FAP inhibitor (FAPI) does not require fasting and has less background uptake. The goal of this study was to investigate the utility of FAPI as a potential universal fiducial for BgRT. We hypothesized that 68Ga-FAPI would be a better radiotracer than 18F-FDG, as assessed by the Normalized Minimal kBq/mL and the Normal Target Signal (NTS), two parameters used to gauge the suitability of BgRT. MATERIALS/METHODS PET-CTs were obtained for 50 patients with pancreatic, liver, lung, head & neck, and cervical cancer using 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI (n = 10 for each). Four DICOM images were obtained per patient (FDG PET + CT, FAPI PET + CT). Radiation oncologists delineated the gross tumor volume (GTV) on PET images. A separate set of auto-contours were generated from the PET using an auto-threshold of 40% maximum SUV for all tumors. A 1 cm expansion was added to the GTV to create a ring around the physician-generated contours and auto-contours. The following parameters were measured: GTV volume, SUV max of GTV, SUV mean of GTV, Normalized Minimal kBq/mL within the GTV, and NTS (= SUV max/Ring SUV mean). Values were compared using paired t-test. For the BgRT product with similar calculations, the required Normalized Minimal kBq/mL is > 5 kBq/mL; the required NTS is > 2.7 for treatment planning and > 2.0 for BgRT delivery. RESULTS The Normalized Minimal kBq/mL for FAPI was > 5 kBq/mL for all tumors and greater for auto-contoured GTVs compared to physician-contoured GTVs. The mean NTS for the auto-contours for all tumor sites was > 2.0. In addition, there was a statistically significant increase in the NTS for FAPI compared to FDG in pancreatic, liver and head & neck cancers. In pancreatic cancer, there was a statistically significant increase in Normalized Minimal kBq/mL for FAPI compared to FDG (26.0 vs 14.2) (p = 0.01) and the SUVmax of FAPI was almost double that of FDG (15.9 vs 8.2) (p = 0.01). FAPI had no background in the liver, but had high background in the uterus, suggesting it may have a role in liver cancer but not cervical cancer. CONCLUSION This is the first study demonstrating the potential superiority of 68Ga-FAPI compared to 18F-FDG as a biologic fiducial for BgRT when treating pancreatic, liver and head & neck cancers, with a similar efficacy for lung cancer. Our results indicate that auto-contoured GTVs generate a higher NTS than physician-contoured GTVs but all are > 2.0. In addition, the Normalized Minimal kBq/mL for auto-contours is > 5 kBq/mL for all tumors. As hypothesized, FAPI-based BgRT is most likely to be successful when treating tumors with significant desmoplastic stroma, such as pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) has been widely explored for the theranostics of tumors. However, ICG mainly accumulates in the liver, spleen, or kidney in addition to in tumors, causing inaccurate diagnoses and impaired therapeutic effects under NIR irradiation. Herein, a hybrid nanomicelle was constructed by integrating hypoxia-sensitive iridium(III) and ICG for precise tumor localization and photothermal therapy in sequence. In this nanomicelle, the amphiphilic iridium(III) complex (BTPH)2Ir(SA-PEG) was synthesized through the coordination substitution of hydrophobic (BTPH)2IrCl2 and hydrophilic PEGlyated succinylacetone (SA-PEG). Meanwhile, PEGlyated ICG (ICG-PEG) as a derivative of the photosensitizer ICG was also synthesized. (BTPH)2Ir(SA-PEG) and ICG-PEG were coassembled by dialysis to form the hybrid nanomicelle M-Ir-ICG. Hypoxia-sensitive fluorescence, ROS generation, and the photothermal effect of M-Ir-ICG were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The experimental results indicated that M-Ir-ICG nanomicelles could locate at the tumor site first and then perform photothermal therapy with 83.90% TIR, demonstrating great potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Quantum entanglement is a key resource in currently developed quantum technologies. Sharing this fragile property between superconducting microwave circuits and optical or atomic systems would enable new functionalities, but this has been hindered by an energy scale mismatch of >104 and the resulting mutually imposed loss and noise. In this work, we created and verified entanglement between microwave and optical fields in a millikelvin environment. Using an optically pulsed superconducting electro-optical device, we show entanglement between propagating microwave and optical fields in the continuous variable domain. This achievement not only paves the way for entanglement between superconducting circuits and telecom wavelength light, but also has wide-ranging implications for hybrid quantum networks in the context of modularization, scaling, sensing, and cross-platform verification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is concern that the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine may trigger or worsen autoimmune diseases. The objective of this study was to determine the impacts of COVID-19 vaccination on symptom severity in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). METHODS A total of 106 enrolled patients with MG who were vaccinated against COVID-19 were followed up, and a questionnaire was used to document in detail the exacerbation of muscle weakness after vaccination and all other uncomfortable reactions after vaccination. Demographic, clinical characteristics, medication, and vaccination data were collected by follow-up interview. The main observation outcome was whether the MG symptoms of patients were exacerbated. The definition of exacerbation is according to the subjective feeling of the patient or a 2-point increase in daily life myasthenia gravis activity score relative to before vaccination, within 30 days after vaccination. RESULTS Of 106 enrolled patients [median age (SD) 41.0 years, 38 (35.8%) men, 53 (50.0%) with generalized MG, 74 (69.8%) positive for acetylcholine receptor antibody, and 21 (19.8%) with accompanying thymoma], muscle weakness symptoms were stable in 102 (96.2%) patients before vaccine inoculation. Muscle weakness worsened in 10 (9.4%) people after vaccination, of which 8 patients reported slight symptom worsening that resolved quickly (within a few days). Two (1.9%) of patients showed serious symptom aggravation that required hospitalization. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that inactivated virus vaccines against COVID-19 may be safe for patients with MG whose condition is stable. Patients with generalized MG may be more likely to develop increased muscle weakness after vaccination.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently a common chronic liver disease worldwide. By now, however, there isn't any FDA-approved specific drug for NAFLD treatment. It has been noticed that farnesoid X receptor (FXR), miR-34a and Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is related to the occurrence and development of NAFLD. A oligochitosan-derivated nanovesicle (UBC) with esterase responsive degradability was designed to co-encapsulate FXR agonist (obeticholic acid, OCA) and miR-34a antagomir (anta-miR-34a) into the hydrophobic membrane and the center aqueous lumen of nanovesicles, respectively, by dialysis method. The action of UBC/OCA/anta-miR-34a loop on the regulation of lipid deposition via nanovesicles was evaluated on high-fat HepG2 cells and HFD-induced mice. The obtained dual drug-loaded nanovesicles UBC/OCA/anta-miR-34a could enhance the cellular uptake and intracellular release of OCA and anta-miR-34a, leading to the reduced lipid deposition in high-fat HepG2 cells. In NAFLD mice models, UBC/OCA/anta-miR-34a achieved the best curative effect on the recovery of body weight and hepatic function. Meanwhile, in vitro and vivo experiments validated that UBC/OCA/anta-miR-34a effectively activated the expression level of SIRT1 by enhancing the FXR/miR-34a/SIRT1 regulatory loop. This study provides a promising strategy for constructing oligochitosan-derivated nanovesicles to co-deliver OCA and anta-miR-34a for NAFLD treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study proposed a strategy to construct oligochitosan-derivated nanovesicles to co-deliver obeticholic acid and miR-34a antagomir for NAFLD treatment. Based on the FXR/miR-34a/SIRT1 action loop, this nanovesicle effectively exerted a synergetic effect of OCA and anta-miR-34a to significantly regulate lipid deposition and recover liver function in NAFLD mice.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the expression of CD24 gene in human malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cells and tissues, and evaluate its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and clinical prognosis of MPM patients. Methods: In February 2021, UALCAN database was used to analyze the correlation between CD24 gene expression and clinicopathological characteristics in 87 cases of MPM patients. The TIMER 2.0 platform was used to explore the relationship between the expression of CD24 in MPM and tumor immune infiltrating cells. cBioportal online tool was used to analyze the correlation between CD24 and MPM tumor marker gene expression. RT-qPCR was used to analyze the expressions of CD24 gene in human normal pleural mesothelial cell lines LP9 and MPM cell lines NCI-H28 (epithelial type), NCI-H2052 (sarcoma type), and NCI-H2452 (biphasic mixed type). RT-qPCR was performed to detect the expressions of CD24 gene in 18 cases of MPM tissues and matched normal pleural tissues. The expression difference of CD24 protein in normal mesothelial tissue and MPM tissue was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. A Kaplan-Meier model was constructed to explore the influence of CD24 gene expression on the prognosis of MPM patients, and Cox regression analysis of prognostic factors in MPM patients was performed. Results: The CD24 gene expression without TP53 mutation MPM patients was significantly higher than that of patients in TP53 mutation (P<0.05). The expression of CD24 gene in MPM was positively correlated with B cells (r(s)=0.37, P<0.001). The expression of CD24 gene had a positive correlation with the expressions of thrombospondin 2 (THBS2) (r(s)=0.26, P<0.05), and had a negative correlation with the expression of epidermal growth factor containing fibulin like extracellular matrix protein 1 (EFEMP1), mesothelin (MSLN) and calbindin 2 (CALB2) (r(s)=-0.31, -0.52, -0.43, P<0.05). RT-qPCR showed that the expression level of CD24 gene in MPM cells (NCI-H28, NCI-H2052 and NCI-H2452) was significantly higher than that in normal pleural mesothelial LP9 cells. The expression level of CD24 gene in MPM tissues was significantly higher than that in matched normal pleural tissues (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of CD24 protein in epithelial and sarcoma MPM tissues were higher than those of matched normal pleural tissues. Compared with low expression of CD24 gene, MPM patients with high expression of CD24 gene had lower overall survival (HR=2.100, 95%CI: 1.336-3.424, P<0.05) and disease-free survival (HR=1.800, 95%CI: 1.026-2.625, P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that compared with the biphasic mixed type, the epithelial type was a protective factor for the prognosis of MPM patients (HR=0.321, 95%CI: 0.172-0.623, P<0.001). Compared with low expression of CD24 gene, high expression of CD24 gene was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of MPM patients (HR=2.412, 95%CI: 1.291-4.492, P=0.006) . Conclusion: CD24 gene and protein are highly expressed in MPM tissues, and the high expression of CD24 gene suggests poor prognosis in MPM patients.

Abstract
Recent advances in the understanding of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) biology have impacted the development of effective novel agents and improved our knowledge of how the genomic background of WM may influence selection of therapy. Consensus Panel 7 (CP7) of the 11th International Workshop on WM was convened to examine the current generation of completed and ongoing clinical trials involving novel agents, consider updated data on WM genomics, and make recommendations on the design and prioritization of future clinical trials. CP7 considers limited duration and novel-novel agent combinations to be the priority for the next generation of clinical trials. Evaluation of MYD88, CXCR4 and TP53 at baseline in the context of clinical trials is crucial. The common chemoimmunotherapy backbones, bendamustine-rituximab (BR) and dexamethasone, rituximab and cyclophosphamide (DRC), may be considered standard-of-care for the frontline comparative studies. Key unanswered questions include the definition of frailty in WM; the importance of attaining a very good partial response or better (≥VGPR), within stipulated time frame, in determining survival outcomes; and the optimal treatment of WM populations with special needs.

Abstract
The consensus panel 2 (CP2) of the 11th International Workshop on Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (IWWM-11) has reviewed and incorporated current data to update the recommendations for treatment approaches in patients with relapsed or refractory WM (RRWM). The key recommendations from IWWM-11 CP2 include: (1) Chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) and/or a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (cBTKi) strategies are important options; their use should reflect the prior upfront strategy and are subject to their availability. (2) In selecting treatment, biological age, co-morbidities and fitness are important; nature of relapse, disease phenotype and WM-related complications, patient preferences and hematopoietic reserve are also critical factors while the composition of the BM disease and mutational status (MYD88, CXCR4, TP53) should also be noted. (3) The trigger for initiating treatment in RRWM should utilize knowledge of patients' prior disease characteristics to avoid unnecessary delays. (4) Risk factors for cBTKi related toxicities (cardiovascular dysfunction, bleeding risk and concurrent medication) should be addressed when choosing cBTKi. Mutational status (MYD88, CXCR4) may influence the cBTKi efficacy, and the role of TP53 disruptions requires further study) in the event of cBTKi failure dose intensity could be up titrated subject to toxicities. Options after BTKi failure include CIT with a non-cross-reactive regimen to one previously used CIT, addition of anti-CD20 antibody to BTKi, switching to a newer cBTKi or non-covalent BTKi, proteasome inhibitors, BCL-2 inhibitors, and new anti-CD20 combinations are additional options. Clinical trial participation should be encouraged for all patients with RRWM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the morbidity and comorbidity of glucolipid metabolic multiple noncommunicable diseases in a Chinese natural population and associated risk factors. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional survey with randomized sampling was conducted on a typical sample of 4,002 residents (aged 26-76 years) in the Pinggu District of Beijing. They were subjected to a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory examination to collect data. Multivariable analysis was used to establish the association between various risk factors and multiple noncommunicable diseases. RESULTS The overall prevalence rate of chronic glucolipid metabolic noncommunicable diseases was 84.28%. The most common type of noncommunicable diseases was dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity, hypertension, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. The prevalence rate of multiple noncommunicable diseases was 79.60%. Participants with dyslipidemia were at higher risk for underlying chronic diseases. Younger men and women after menopause were more likely to have multiple noncommunicable diseases compared to their older and younger counterparts, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression indicated that age above 50, male sex, high household income, low education level, and harmful alcohol consumption were independent risk factors for multiple noncommunicable diseases. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of chronic glucolipid metabolic noncommunicable diseases in Pinggu was higher than at the national level. Men with multiple noncommunicable diseases were younger, while women after menopause were more likely to suffer from multiple noncommunicable diseases and the prevalence rate was higher than in men. Intervention programs that aim to target risk factors by sex and region-specific are urgently needed.

Abstract
Doping to enhance the electrical conductivity of organic semiconductors is not without its challenges: The efficacy of this process depends on many factors and it is not always clear how to remedy poor doping. In the case of doping with salts, one of the possible causes of poor doping is a limited yield of integer charge transfer resulting in the presence of both cations and anions in the film. The charge of such ions can severely limit the electrical conductivity, but their presence is not easily determined. Here we introduce a set of simple conductivity measurements to determine whether poor doping in the case where the dopant is a salt is due to limited integer charge transfer. By tracking how the conductivity changes over time when applying a bias voltage for an extended amount of time we can pinpoint whether unwanted ions are present in the film. Firstly, we introduce the principle of this approach by performing numerical simulations that include the movement of ions. We show that the conductivity can increase or decrease depending on the type of ions present in the film. Next, we show that the movement of these dopant ions causes a build-up of space-charge, which makes the current-voltage characteristic non-linear. Next, we illustrate how this approach may be used in practice by doping a fullerene derivative with a series of organic salts. We thus provide a tool to make the optimization of doping more rational.

Abstract
Background Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common head and neck malignancies, having a high incidence in Guangxi, China. Although chemoradiotherapy offers more effective cancer treatment, it also causes a variety of acute and chronic side effects, seriously affecting the quality of life. NPC has evolved into a chronic disease with most patients opting for home-based rehabilitation. Therefore, efforts on improving the home-based extended care services to improve the quality of life of patients are booming. The Chinese government encourages the use of internet technology for expanding the prospect of nursing. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a mHealth-based care model on the health outcomes of discharged patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods An experimental design was applied for this study. The study enrolled 116 discharged patients who were re-examined in the Radiotherapy Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from November 2019 to February 2020. These patients were randomized into control and intervention groups (n = 58 per group), but during the implementation of the project, there was one dropout in the control group due to the loss of follow-up, and one dropout in the intervention group due to distant metastasis. In the end, 57 patients in the control and intervention groups completed the trial. The control group was subjected to routine discharge guidance and follow-up, while the experimental group was implemented with a mobile health (mHealth)-based continuous nursing intervention model. The scores of the side effects, cancer fatigue, and quality of life were compared between the two groups of patients for 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively after discharge from the hospital. Results This study included 114 patients and there were no significant differences in the baseline data between the two groups. After 6 and 12 months of intervention, the severity of radiation toxicity and side effects, the scores of cancer-related fatigue, and quality of life (symptom field) of the patients in the interventional group were significantly lowered statistically compared to those in the control group. Conclusion This study is based on the mHealth continuous nursing intervention model, which can reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and cancer fatigue, and improve the quality of life. Trial registration This study was retrospectively registered as a randomized controlled trial in the Chinese Clinical Trial Center. Registration Date: January 12, 2021, Registration Number: ChiCTR2100042027.

Abstract
Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a clinically heterogeneous genetic disorder, which is mainly characterized by median clefts of the hand/feet due to the absence of the central digital rays. Several subgroups of SHFM have been identified, including SHFM1 to SHFM6. SHFM3 is an autosomal dominant disease, which has been identified to associate with a 500 kb microduplication at 10q24. The duplication involved several genes, including LBX1, BTRC, POLL, FBXW4, etc. In the study, using trio clinical exome sequencing, a 120 kb microduplication containing only BTRC were identified in a Chinese family affected with SHFM3. Further confirmation was performed using qRT-PCR assay, which showed that the 120 kb duplication was co-segregated with SHFM phenotypes in the family. It is the smallest duplication which has ever been reported relating to SHFM3. Furthermore, the transcription levels of BTRC mRNA in lymphocyte of the proband was significantly higher than that in the healthy control. The study provided evidence for the limb malformation caused by abnormal BTRC expression, and suggested that next generation sequencing could provide more precise diagnosis to SHFM3 patients.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and related genetic variation of juvenile myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. Methods: We collected the clinical data of adolescent MG patients who were treated in the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2019 to May 2020. After obtaining the patient's informed consent, the blood samples were collected. The Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) was performed on peripheral blood samples. And use biological information software and SPSS 22.0 for data processing and result analysis. Results: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 54 patients with juvenile MG were included, 28 males and 26 females. And the average age of onset was (3.79±0.89) years. Among the enrolled patients, there were 52 (96.3%) patients with ocular MG, the MG-ADL scores of 54 patients were (3.44±0.44) points, and the titer of AChR antibody was (5.88±2.45) nmol/L. Two patients had thymic hyperplasia, and 5 patients had a family history of MG.A total of 169 variant genes were found in 54 patients, of which TTN gene variants had the largest number, with a total of 17 variants (31.5%). In the TTN gene variant group, 7(41.2%) patients had eye fixation symptoms, and 4 (10.8%) patients in the non-mutation group had eye fixation symptoms. And The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.016). In addition, the synaptic nucleus envelope protein-1 (SYNE1) and the ryanodine receptor-1 (RYR1) gene variations were also found in 7 cases (13.2%), and no clear relationship between these gene variations and clinical manifestations of MG was found. Conclusions: The incidence of juvenile MG was preschoolers with no gender difference, and ocular MG was more common. The proportion of TTN gene variation in adolescent MG was higher, suggesting that this gene may be a potential therapeutic target for juvenile MG patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to perform an analysis of the incidence of implant body fracture and to identify possible risk factors. A long-term follow-up retrospective evaluation of 3477 patients who received 8588 implants from five implant systems was performed. Overall, 2810 patients who received 7502 implants, with an average follow-up of 6.9 years, were included in the analysis. The overall body fracture rate was 0.49% (37/7502), among which 32.4% (12/37) were implants with a reduced diameter. The estimated cumulative fracture rate was 1.24%. Fractures were observed in two patients with three Brånemark implants, 13 patients with 15 Nobel Replace implants, eight patients with eight Camlog implants, eight patients with 11 Ankylos implants, and none of the patients with Thommen implants. Most fractures occurred in the molar region (29/37) and in single implant-supported restorations (30/37). The results showed significant differences between splinted and unsplinted restorations (P = 0.005) and between regular and narrow diameter implants (P = 0.009). Within the limitations of this retrospective analysis, a narrow implant diameter is a potential risk factor for implant body fracture in the posterior region. Furthermore, unsplinted restorations appear to be associated with a higher rate of implant fracture.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations, treatment characteristics and outcomes of myasthenia gravis (MG) dually positive for anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR-Ab) and anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase antibody (MuSK-Ab). Method: MG patients hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from August 2017 to November 2020 were retrospectively collected. Thirty-four MuSK-Ab positive MG (MuSK-MG) patients, 11 double-antibodies positive MG (DP-MG) patients, and 80 AChR-Ab positive MG (AChR-MG) patients were included and allocated to three different groups. The clinical data of patients in the three groups were collected, and the differences of demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes between DP-MG patients and AChR-MG and MuSK-MG patients were analyzed. Result: The proportion of female and male patients in DP-MG group was 7/11 and 4/11 respectively, and the onset age of DP-MG was (41±27) years.The difference in gender distribution between DP-MG and AChR-MG groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportion of extraocular muscle involvement in the DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups (8/11 and 52.9%) was lower than that in the AChR-MG group (83.8%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of myasthenia crisis in DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups (54.5% and 61.8%) were higher than that in AChR-MG group (20.0%), with astatistically significant difference(P<0.05). The positive rate of neostigmine test in DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups(8/11 and 74.2%) were lower than that of AChR-MG group (96.8%), and the positive rate of low frequency repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) in DP-MG group (5/10) was lower than that in AChR-MG group (85.1%), with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). MuSK-Ab titer was positively correlated with the course of disease (r=0.466, P<0.05), and antibody titer decreased after symptom improvement (P<0.05). The response of patients in DP-MG and MuSK-MG groups to cholinesterase inhibitors (2/11 and 9.1%) was worse than that in the AChR-MG group (66.3%), and the incidence of side effects in the two groups (5/11 and 39.4%) was higher than that in the AChR-MG group (15.0%), with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There were 4 DP-MG patients underwent thymectomy, and the pathological results detected two cases of thymoma and two cases of thymic hyperplasia. Subsequent follow-up showed that 5 (5/11) DP-MG patients achieved minimal manifestation status or better status. Conclusion: The gender distribution, age of onset, pharmacological characteristics and electrophysiological examination of DP-MG patients were similar to those of MuSK-MG patients, but the severity of DP-MG patients was between that of AChR-MG and MuSK-MG patients.

Abstract
Background: As a classical autophagy inhibitor, CQ has been supposed to increase the sensitivity of tumors to chemotherapeutics. However, there exists a quite huge gap between laboratory research and clinical application, which is related to the distinct pharmacokinetic behavior of CQ to a great extent. Methods: Based on amphiphilic copolymer PPAP, a pH-responsive drug-induced self-assembled nanovesicle, named DC-DIV/C, was constructed to load DOX⋅HCl and CQ. The physicochemical properties of DC-DIV/C were characterized. To validate the cooperative action and delivery synchronism of DOX⋅HCl and CQ, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, cellular uptake and autophagy assay were investigated in DOX⋅HCl resistant cancer cells. The pharmacokinetic character and antitumor effect of DC-DIV/C were evaluated on rats and nude mice bearing xenograft drug-resistant K562/ADR tumors, respectively. Results: DC-DIV/C could simultaneously encapsulate DOX·HCl and CQ at the optimal ratio of 1:2. In vitro and in vivo tests confirmed that DC-DIV/C acted as an excellent vehicle for the synchronous delivery of DOX⋅HCl and CQ during the process of blood circulation, cellular uptake and intracellular release. Furthermore, CQ accomplished autophagy inhibition to reduce the IC50 of DOX⋅HCl resistant cancer cells. Consequently, DC-DIV/C exhibited the extremely improved anti-tumor effect with 84.52% TIR on K562/ADR tumor. Conclusion: This study provides a promising and powerful strategy to achieve enhanced treatment outcomes for the precise combination therapy.

Abstract
Background Milk protein allergy is one of the most common food allergies in infants. We aimed to test whether fecal calprotectin can be used to monitor food allergies in infants by comparing the fecal calprotectin levels in infants with a milk protein allergy before and after an intervention treatment. Methods The study was designed as a prospective case–control trial. Stool samples were collected at follow-up, and the concentration of fecal calprotectin was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The infant’s weight and length were measured. Results The allergic group comprised 90 milk-allergic infants (41 boys, 49 girls), and the nonallergic group comprised 90 nonallergic infants (51 boys, 39 girls). Compared with the fecal calprotectin level in the nonallergic group (median: 141 μg/g), that in the allergic group (median: 410 μg/g) was significantly higher (z = − 9.335, p < 0.001). After two dietary interventions and treatments, the fecal calprotectin levels of the infants with a milk protein allergy at the first (median: 253 μg/g) and second follow-up visits (median: 160 μg/g) were significantly lower than those before the intervention (z = − 7.884, p < 0.001 and z = − 8.239, p < 0.001, respectively). The growth index values (LAZ and WAZ) of the infants with a milk protein allergy at the first and second follow-up visits were significantly higher than those before dietary intervention (p < 0.05). Fecal calprotectin was negatively and significantly correlated with the WLZ and WAZ at the second follow-up visit (Spearman’s rho = − 0.234, p = 0.01 and Spearman’s rho = − 0.193, p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusion The level of fecal calprotectin in infants with a milk protein allergy decreased after dietary intervention and seems to be a promising biological indicator for monitoring intestinal allergies.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the chest CT features of aluminosis caused by alumina and to improve the understanding of the imaging findings of alumina pneumoconiosis. Methods: The chest CT findings of 17 cases of alumina-induced pneumoconiosis and 30 cases of silicosis (the control group) diagnosed in Zibo Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital from April 2015 to July 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The characteristics of fibrosis of the two kinds of pneumoconiosis and the incidence of size, density, distribution, tractive bronchiectasis, pleural thickening and interlobular septal thickening of pneumoconiosis nodules were compared. Results: Alumina pneumoconiosis showed nodules with thickened interlobular septal of 66.67% (12/18) , honeycomb lung of 22.22% (4/18) , ground glass shadow of 61.11% (11/18) , simple nodules of 11.11% (2/18) , and no fusion mass. In the control group, the long-line fibrosis of nodules with thickened interlobular septal were 16.67% (5/30) , 6.67% (2/30) with honeycomb lung and ground glass density shadow, 23.33% (7/30) with fusion mass and 53.33% (16/30) with simple nodule. There were significant differences in CT findings of nodules with thickened interlobular septal, ground glass density shadow, fused mass and simple nodules between the two groups (P<0.05) . The interstitial beaded nodules were seen in 18 cases of alumina pneumoconiosis, 50.00% (9/18) of them were beaded nodules, 61.33% (46/75) of low density nodules and 38.89% (7/18) of central lobular nodules were seen in alumina pneumoconiosis. The average width of nodules was (1.29±0.38) mm. Central lobular nodules were seen in all 30 cases of silicosis, 10.00% (3/30) were mainly beaded nodules, low density nodules were 36.29% (90/248) , and the average width diameter of nodules was (1.85±0.58) mm. There were significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05) . Alumina pneumoconiosis was often accompanied by traction bronchiectasis, pleural thickening and interlobular septal thickening (11, 18, 17 cases, 61.11%, 100.00%, 94.44%) , compared with the control group (9, 18, 18 cases, 30.00%, 60.00%, 60.00%) . The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . The maximum CT value of noncalcified mediastinal lymphnodes in alumina pneumoconiosis was (103.43±26.33) HU, which was higher than that of the control group[ (75.22±16.70) HU], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Alumina pneumoconiosis chest CT shows slightly low-density beaded nodules, thickened interlobular septal, and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis of ground-glass shadows, mostly combines with stretched bronchiectasis, thickened pleura, and mediastinum increased lymph node density.

Abstract
Inducing mitochondrial malfunction is an appealing strategy to overcome tumor multidrug resistance (MDR). Reported here a versatile mitochondrial-damaging molecule, vitamin E succinate (VES), is creatively utilized to assist MDR reversal of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) via a nanovesicle platform self-assembled from amphiphilic polyphosphazenes containing pH-sensitive 1H-benzo-[d]imidazol-2-yl) methanamine (BIMA) groups. Driven by multiple non-covalent interactions, VES is fully introduced into the hydrophobic membrane of DOX·HCl-loaded nanovesicles with loading content of 23.5%. The incorporated VES also offers robust anti-leakage property toward DOX·HCl under normal physiological conditions. More importantly, upon release within acidic tumor cells, VES can target mitochondria and result in various dysfunctions including excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) loss, and inhibited adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, which contribute to cell apoptosis and insufficient energy supply for drug efflux pumps. Consequently, the killing-effect of DOX·HCl is significantly enhanced toward drug resistant cancer cells at the optimal mass ratio of DOX·HCl to VES. Further in vivo antitumor investigation on nude mice bearing xenograft drug-resistant human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562/ADR tumors verifies the extremely enhanced anti-tumor efficacy of the dual drug-loaded nanovesicle with the tumor inhibition rate (TIR) of 82.38%. Collectively, this study provides a s safe, facile and promising strategy for both precise drug delivery and MDR eradication to improve cancer therapy.

Abstract
The in vivo delivery of nanomedicine is severely hampered by the limited enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) in tumors. Aiming at overcoming this limitation and achieving high anti-tumor effect of chemotherapeutics, we specially addressed an available strategy from a viewpoint of increasing the drug loading of nano-carriers. Here, we constructed a novel pH-responsive polymersome based on the drug-driven self-assembly of amphiphilic polyphosphazenes PAP containing the ortho ester group ABD and mPEG2000. Due to the non-covalent attractive forces between PAP and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl), DOX·HCl can induce the self-assembly of PAP via embedding itself in the lamella to form vesicles and the subsequent location in the center aqueous chamber of the resultant nano-vesicles, which resulted in the high drug loading content of 35.77 wt%. In addition, with the incorporation of cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CholHS), the premature leakage of DOX·HCl was significantly inhibited under physiological conditions. Meanwhile, the pH-sensitive drug release occurred at pH 5.5 by the advantage of the pH-sensitive biodegradation of ABD in PAP. Consequently, this CholHS-incorporated DOX·HCl-driven PAP vesicle achieved excellent anti-tumor effect with tumor growth inhibition up to 82.4% in S180 tumor-bearing mice. Taken together, our newly developed drug-driven vesicles may promote the development of efficient drug delivery systems for application in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Hemophilia A (HA), an X-linked recessive congenital bleeding disorder, affects 80%–85% of patients with hemophilia. Nearly half of severe cases of hemophilia are caused by a 0.6-Mb genomic inversion (Inv22) that disrupts F8. Although viral-based gene therapy has shown therapeutic effects for hemophilia B (HB), this promising approach is not applicable for HA at the present stage; this limitation is mainly due to the large size of F8 cDNA, which far exceeds the adeno-associated virus (AAV) packaging capacity. We previously reported an in situ genetic correction of Inv22 in HA patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (HA-iPSCs) by using TALENs. We also investigated an alternative strategy for targeted gene addition, in which cDNA of the B-domain deleted F8 (BDDF8) was targeted at the rDNA locus of HA-iPSCs using TALENickases to restore FVIII function. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have low immunogenicity and can secrete FVIII under physiological conditions; in this study, MSCs were differentiated from F8-corrected iPSCs, BDDF8-iPSCs, and HA-iPSCs. Differentiated MSCs were characterized, and FVIII expression efficacy in MSCs was verified in vitro. The three types of MSCs were introduced into HA mice via intravenous injection. Long-term engraftment with restoration of FVIII function and phenotypic rescue was observed in HA mice transplanted with F8-corrected iMSCs and BDDF8-iMSCs. Our findings suggest that ex vivo gene therapy using iMSCs derived from F8-modified iPSCs can be feasible, effective, and promising for the clinical translation of therapeutic gene editing of HA and other genetic birth defects, particularly those that involve large sequence variants.

Abstract
目的 评估外周血细胞检测结果在以硼替佐米为一线治疗的多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者中的预后作用。 方法 回顾性分析2014年1月至2016年12月浙江大学医学院附属第一医院和浙江省舟山医院收治的155例初诊MM患者的临床数据,患者均一线接受以硼替佐米为基础方案的治疗。分析外周血细胞检测结果,包括ANC、单核细胞计数(AMC)、HGB、红细胞平均体积(MCV)、PLT以及其他临床特征对MM患者的预后评估作用。 结果 AMC(>0.6×109/L)、MCV(>99.1fl)以及PLT(<150×109/L)明显影响MM患者无进展生存(PFS)和总生存(OS),以上3个因子分别赋值1分,形成血细胞积分。结果显示,64例(41.3%)积分0,57例(36.8%)积分1,32例(20.6%)积分2,2例(1.3%)积分3,4组患者中位PFS时间分别为42.8、26.5、15.8、6.4个月(P<0.001),中位OS时间分别为未达到和48.2、31.1、31.4个月(P=0.001)。多因素分析提示,血细胞积分(2~3对0~1)和骨髓浆细胞比例(>30%对≤30%)为PFS的独立预后因素(HR分别为1.95和1.76),而患者年龄(>65岁对≤65岁)、R-ISS分期(Ⅲ期对Ⅰ~Ⅱ期)和血细胞积分(2~3对0~1)是OS的独立预后因素(HR分别为2.08、2.13和2.12)。 结论 血细胞积分简单易得,可用于新药时代初治MM患者的预后评估,但仍需扩大病例并进行前瞻性研究进一步明确。
