Abstract
PURPOSE Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance is the main type of drug resistance in lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this work was to investigate the mechanism by which PARP1 regulates EGFR-TKI resistance to identify potential targets for combating drug resistance. METHODS The GEO databases, TCGA databases, western blot and qPCR studies were used to investigate the expression of PARP1 in lung cancer cells and tissues and its correlation with the prognosis of lung cancer. The expression of PARP1 in lung cancer TKI resistant cell PC9-ER and TKI sensitive cell PC9 was analyzed by qPCR and western blot. After knocking down of PARP1, CCK-8 assays, colony formation, flow cytometry were used to investigate its impact on erlotinib sensitivity, cell survival, cell cycle, and apoptosis. RNA-seq was used to investigate the mechanism by which PARP1 participates in EGFR-TKI resistance, and the results were validated in vitro and in vivo studies. RESULTS PARP1 was highly expressed in both lung cancer tissues and cells. Subsequently, increased PARP1 expression was observed in PC9-ER compared with its parental cell line. Knockdown of PARP1 increased erlotinib sensitivity, promoted cell apoptosis, and suppressed cell growth. RNA-seq and previous studies have shown that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/P70S6K pathway is involved in PARP1-mediated TKI resistance, and these results were confirmed by Western blot in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION PARP1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for reversing EGFR-TKI resistance in NSCLC via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/P70S6K pathway.

Abstract
Clinically, programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockades have demonstrated promising therapeutic outcomes for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to examine the impact of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) polymorphism on clinical outcomes of patients with advanced NSCLC who were treated with PD-1 blockades therapy. The present study was designed as a retrospective analysis, where a consecutive screening of 89 patients with advanced NSCLC who received PD-1 blockades monotherapy were screened. Biological specimens were collected to determine the presence of polymorphism and PD-L1 mRNA expression through genotyping. The analysis focused on examining the relationship between the genotype status of PD-L1 polymorphism and clinical outcomes. Among the 89 patients with advanced NSCLC, the use of PD-1 blockades monotherapy resulted in objective response rate (ORR) of 22.5%, a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 3.4 months [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.80-5.00) and a median overall survival (OS) of 11.3 months (95% CI: 7.93-14.67). The analysis of polymorphism indicated that only rs2297136 had clinical significance. Among the 89 patients with NSCLC, the prevalence of rs2297136 was as follows: A total of 58 cases (65.2%) had the AA genotype, 28 cases (31.5%) had the AG genotype and 3 cases (3.4%) had the GG genotype. This resulted in a minor allele frequency of 0.19, which was in consistent with Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (P=0.865). The correlation analysis between genotype status of rs2297136 and clinical outcomes indicated that patients with the AA genotype had an ORR of 19.0%, while those with the AG/GG genotype had an ORR of 29.0% (P=0.278). Additionally, the median PFS for the AA genotype was 2.95 months, compared with 5.30 months for the AG/GG genotype (P=0.038). Accordingly, median OS of the AA and AG/GG genotypes was 8.8 and 18.4 months, respectively (P=0.011). The mRNA expression of PD-L1 was significantly higher in patients with AG/GG genotype compared with those with AA genotype (P<0.001). In clinical practice, PD-1 blockades demonstrated promising effectiveness in treating patients with advanced NSCLC. The presence of the rs2297136 variant in PD-L1 gene could potentially be used as a biomarker to predict the clinical outcomes of PD-1 blockades.

Abstract
AIM To identify clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics predictors specialised for intracranial progression (IP) after first-line epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases (BMs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with a total of 212 BMs who received first-line EGFR-TKI therapy were enrolled. Radiomics features were extracted from the BM regions on the pretreatment contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, and the radiomics score (rad-score) of each BM was established based on the selected features. Furthermore, the mean rad-score derived from the average rad-score of all included BMs in each patient was calculated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify potential predictors of IP. Prediction models based on different predictors and their combinations were constructed, and nomogram based on the optimal prediction model was evaluated. RESULTS Thirty-three (47.1 %) patients developed IP, and the remaining 37 (52.9 %) patients were IP-free. EGFR-19del mutation (OR 0.19, 95 % CI 0.05-0.69), third-generation TKI treatment (OR 0.33, 95 % CI 0.16-0.67) and mean rad-score (OR 5.71, 95 % CI 1.65-19.68) were found to be independent predictive factors. Models based on these three predictors alone and in combination (combined model) achieved AUCs of 0.64, 0.64, 0.74, and 0.86 and 0.64, 0.64, 0.75, and 0.84 in the training and validation sets, respectively, and the combined model demonstrated optimal performance for predicting IP. CONCLUSIONS The model integrating EGFR-19del mutation, third-generation TKI treatment and mean rad-score had good predictive value for IP after EGFR-TKI treatment in NSCLC patients with BM.

Abstract
Designing an electrocatalyst with high efficiency and product selectivity is always crucial for an electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Inspired by the great progress of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials growing on Cu surfaces and their promising CO2RR catalytic efficiencies at their interfaces, the unique performance of Cu-based 2D materials as high-efficiency and low-cost CO2RR electrocatalysts has attracted extensive attention. Herein, based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we proposed a composite structure of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) fragments loaded on a Cu surface to explore the CO2RR catalytic property of the interface between g-C3N4 and the Cu surface. Three composite interfaces of C3N4/Cu(111), C3N4/Cu(110) and C3N4/Cu(100) have been studied by considering the reaction sites of vertex nitrogen atoms, edge nitrogen atoms and the nearby Cu atoms. It was found that the C3N4/Cu interfaces where nitrogen atoms contact the Cu substrate present competitive CO2RR activity. Among them, C3N4/Cu(111)-N3 exhibited a better activity for CH3OH production, with a low overpotential of 0.38 V. For HCOOH and CH4 production, C3N4/Cu(111)-Cu and C3N4/Cu(100)-N1 have overpotentials of 0.26 V and 0.44 V. The electronic analysis indicates the electron transfer from the Cu substrate to the g-C3N4 fragment and mainly accumulates on the nitrogen atoms of the interface. Such charge accumulation can activate the adsorbed CO bond of CO2 and lead to lower energetic barriers of CO2RR. DFT calculations indicate that the boundary nitrogen sites reduced the energy barrier of *CHO, which is crucial for CO2RR, compared with that of the pristine Cu surface. Our study explores a new Cu-based electrocatalyst and indicates that the C3N4/Cu interface can enhance the activities and selectivity of CO2RR and open a new strategy to design high-efficiency electrocatalysts for CO2RR.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Potential radiation exposure is a general concern, but there still lacks radioprotective countermeasures. Here, we found a small molecular near-infrared dye IR-780, which promoted hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) into quiescence to resist stress. When mice were treated with IR-780 before stress, increased HSC quiescence and better hematopoietic recovery were observed in mice in stress conditions. However, when given after radiation, IR-780 did not show obvious benefit. Transplantation assay and colony-forming assay were carried out to determine self-renewal ability and repopulation capacity of HSCs. Furthermore, IR-780 pretreatment reduced the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage in HSCs after radiation. In homeostasis, the percentage of Lineage - , Sca-1 + , and c-Kit + cells and long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs) were improved, and more HSCs were in G0 state after administration of IR-780. Further investigations showed that IR-780 selectively accumulated in mitochondria membrane potential high LT-HSCs (MMP-high LT-HSCs). Finally, IR-780 promoted human CD34 + HSC reconstruction ability in NOD-Prkdc scid Il2rg null mice after transplantation and improved repopulation capacity in vitro culture. Our research showed that IR-780 selectively entered MMP-high LT-HSCs and promoted them into dormancy, thus reducing hematopoietic injury and improving regeneration capacity. This novel approach might hold promise as a potential countermeasure for radiation injury.

Abstract
Phenotype-guided gene prioritizers have proved a highly efficient approach to identifying causal genes for Mendelian diseases. In our previous study, we preliminarily evaluated the performance of ten prioritizers. However, all the selected software was run based on default settings and singleton mode. With a large-scale family dataset from Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) project (N = 305) and an in-house trio cohort (N = 152), the four optimal performers in our prior study including Exomiser, PhenIX, AMELIE, and LIRCIAL were further assessed through parameter optimization and/or the utilization of trio mode. The in-depth assessment revealed high diagnostic yields of the four prioritizers with refined preferences, each alone or together: (1) 83.3-91.8% of the causal genes were presented among the first ten candidates in the final ranking lists of the four tools; (2) Over 97.7% of the causal genes were successfully captured within the top 50 by either of the four software. Exomiser did best in directly hitting the target (ranking the causal gene at the very top) while LIRICAL displayed a predominant overall detection capability. Besides, cases affected by low-penetrance and high-frequency pathogenic variants were found misjudged during the automated prioritization process. The discovery of the limitations shed light on the specific directions of future enhancement for causal-gene ranking tools.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genetic background of neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is complicated and early diagnosis is beneficial to optimizing therapeutic strategy for patients. METHODS NE Patients with unclear etiology received regular clinical tests including ammonia test, metabolic screening test, amplitude-integrated electroencephalographic (aEEG) monitoring, brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning, and genetic test. The protein structure change was predicted using Dynamut2 and RoseTTAFold. RESULTS 15 out of a total of 113 NE Patients were detected with newly reported pathogenic variants. In this sub-cohort, (1) seizure was the primary initial symptoms; (2) four patients had abnormal metabolic screening results, and two of them were also diagnosed with excessive blood ammonia concentration; (3) the brain MRI results were irregular in three infants and the brain waves were of moderate-severe abnormality in about a half of the patients. The novel pathogenic variants discovered in this study belonged to 12 genes, and seven of them were predicted to introduce a premature translation termination. In-silicon predictions showed that four variants were destructive to the protein structure of KCNQ2. CONCLUSION Our study expands the mutation spectrum of genes associated with NE and introduces new evidence for molecular diagnosis in this newborn illness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Based on the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we explored the structures and HER catalytic properties of reconstructed and double-stacked black phosphorene (BP) edges. Ten bilayer BP edges were constructed by the double stacking of three typical monolayer edges, i.e., zigzag (ZZ) edge, armchair (AC) edge, skewed diagonal (SD) edge, and their reconstructed derivatives with their layer's configurations, edge deformations and thermodynamic stabilities were discussed. Based on these edges, five chemical sites on four bilayer BP edges were selected to be promising candidates for a HER catalyst, which present higher HER activities than that of Pt(111). Besides, among these four edges, two edges have even lower energetic barriers for the Tafel reaction. Compared with the monolayer edges, these selected bilayer BP edges confirm the remarkable enhancement of the HER catalytic properties, which can be attributed to their unique edge structures and the enhanced electronic densities after the hydrogen adsorptions. Finally, the thermostability of these edges at room temperature has also been proved by the DFT-MD simulations. This theoretic study deepens our fundamental understanding of the double-stacked edge structures of the BP and provides a new way for the rational design of highly efficient and noble-metal-free HER catalysts.

Abstract
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulates angiogenesis, influencing the proliferation, migration, and survival of tumour cells, which have pivotal roles in tumour progression. This study investigated the prognostic significance of bFGF expression in lung adenocarcinoma treated with bevacizumab. The expression levels of bFGF were assessed in bevacizumab-treated patients with lung adenocarcinoma using immunohistochemistry. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to evaluate prognostic potential. bFGF expression was also investigated in another independent cohort of patients with lung adenocarcinoma treated with routinechemotherapy. We also compared the PSM value of bFGF expression levels independently and in combination with epidermal growth factor receptor and vascularendothelial growth factor expression levels. A high bFGF expression level was found to be an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival in patients receiving bevacizumab-based chemotherapy. Similar results were not observed in patients who underwent routinechemotherapy. In conclusion, the bFGF expression level may be a clinically feasible prognostic marker and bFGF is a potential therapeutic target for patients with lung adenocarcinoma receiving routinechemotherapy.

Abstract
Medical test results are indispensable and important tools in diagnosis and treatment services. It is necessary to promote the homogenization of test results first, because homogenization is the basis for mutual recognition of test results. Mutual recognition of medical test results can help share resources among medical institutions, provide more reliable test results for early prevention, screening and treatment of diseases, and reduce repeated tests, thus improving people's medical experience. In recent years, with the deepening of medical system reform and the promotion of graded diagnosis and treatment, governments have continuously introduced policies of mutual recognition of test results around country. However, homogenization is a prerequisite for mutual recognition of test results, with the emergence of intelligent medicine in the era of internet big data, opportunities and challenges coexist in the development of homogeneity management. In the future, the homogeneity of medical test results will present a trend of digitalization, automation, informatization and intelligence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant proliferative disease of plasma cells, the incidence of which is increasing every year and remains incurable. The enzyme co-activator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) is highly expressed in a variety of cancers, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia, and CARM1 is closely associated with tumor cell proliferation. However, the role of CARM1 in MM has not been elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we found that CARM1 is overexpressed in MM and closely associated with poor prognosis in MM. CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed that the proliferation of MM cell lines was downregulated when CARM1 expression was knockdown by specific shRNA. Knockdown of CARM1 reduced the proportion of MM cell lines in the S phase and increased the proportion in G0/G1 phase. RNA-seq analysis of the CARM1-KD cell line revealed that it was closely associated with apoptosis and activated the p53 pathway. CCK-8 and apoptosis results showed that CARM1 knockdown made MM cells more sensitive to standard-of-care drugs. CONCLUSION This study provides an experimental basis for elucidating the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma and searching for potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common monogenic hereditary small cerebral vessel disease, which is caused by mutation of the neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 3 gene (NOTCH3). The exon 24 encodes EGF-like repeats, variants on this exon are rare. Here, we report a novel heterozygous variant c.3892 T >G (p. Cys1298Gly) on exon 24 of NOTCH3 gene in a 57-year-old Chinese woman. MATERIALS AND METHODS We present a patient with clinical manifestations, laboratory examination and imaging reveal suspicion of CADASIL. The family and genetic test and pathological examination were performed. RESULTS Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse leukoencephalopathy with hyperintense signals in the bilateral temporal poles, periventricular white matter, centrum semiovale, basal ganglia, frontal and parietal cortex and subcortical areas bilaterally. Molecular Genetic testing identified a heterozygous variant c.3892 T >G (p. Cys1298Gly) on exon 24 of NOTCH3 gene. Her brother and his son were confirmed as subclinical carriers of the variant. The skin biopsy was negative, but the pathologic role of this mutation is predicted by using the DynaMut database and results showed the stability of the NOTCH gene is decreased. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of exon 24 mutations reported from China and the variant of c.3892 T >G (p. Cys1298Gly) on exon 24 of NOTCH3 has not been reported so far. Our report broadens the mutation spectrum of the NOTCH3 gene in CADASIL.

Abstract
Background and Objective Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and highly invasive non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is challenging to diagnose and treat. It is typically confined to the brain, spinal cord, and eyes. The diagnosis of PCNSL lacks specificity, and the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates of PCNSL are high. Traditional treatments for PCNSL, such as surgery, whole-brain radiation therapy, high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy, and rituximab (RTX), have been associated with higher initial remission rates. However, the duration of any remission is short, the recurrence rate is high, and treatment-related neurotoxicity is strong, which are challenges for medical researchers. This review provides an overview of and perspectives on the diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of patients with PCNSL. Methods The PubMed database was searched to retrieve articles published from January 1, 1991, to June 2, 2022 using the following Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms: "Primary central nervous system lymphoma" and "clinical trial". The American Society of Clinical Oncology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines were also reviewed to obtain additional information. The search was limited to articles published in English, German, and French. In total, 126 articles were deemed eligible for inclusion in this study. Key Content and Findings In terms of the diagnosis of PCNSL, a combination of flow cytometry and cytology has been shown to improve the diagnostic accuracy of PCNSL. Additionally, interleukin 10 and chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 13 are promising biomarkers. In terms of the treatment of PCNSL, programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockage and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy treatments have shown prospective efficacy, but more clinical trials need to be conducted to gather further evidence. We also reviewed and summarized prospective clinical trials on PCNSL. Conclusions PCNSL is a rare and highly aggressive lymphoma. The treatment of PCNSL has progressed significantly, and while the survival of patients has improved, relapse and low long-term survival remain huge challenges. Continuous in-depth research is being conducted on new drug therapies and combination therapies for PCNSL. A combination of targeted drugs (e.g., ibrutinib, lenalidomide, and PD-1 monoclonal antibody) and traditional therapy represents the main research direction for future PCNSL treatments. CAR-T has also shown great potential in the treatment of PCNSL. With the development of these new diagnostic and therapeutic methods and further research into the molecular biology of PCNSL, patients with PCNSL should achieve a better prognosis.

Abstract
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are severe congenital malformations that can lead to lifelong disability. Wuzi Yanzong Pill (WYP) is an herbal formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been shown to have a protective effect against NTDs in a rodent model induced by all-trans retinoic acid (atRA), but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of WYP on NTDs were investigated in vivo using an atRA-induced mouse model and in vitro using cell injury model induced by atRA in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and Chinese hamster dihydrofolate reductase-deficient (CHO/dhFr) cells. Our findings suggest that WYP has an excellent preventive effect on atRA-induced NTDs in mouse embryos, which may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, improved embryonic antioxidant capacity, and anti-apoptotic effects, and this effect is not dependent on folic acid (FA). Our results demonstrated that WYP significantly reduced the incidence of NTDs induced by atRA; increased the activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and content of glutathione (GSH); decreased the apoptosis of neural tube cells; up-regulated the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K), phospho protein kinase B (p-Akt), nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor (Nrf2), and b-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2); and down-regulated the expression of bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax). Our in vitro studies suggested that the preventive effect of WYP on atRA-treated NTDs was independent of FA, which might be attributed to the herbal ingredients of WYP. The results suggest that WYP had an excellent prevention effect on atRA-induced NTDs mouse embryos, which may be independent of FA but related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and improvement of embryonic antioxidant capacity and anti-apoptosis.

Abstract
Currently, there is no effective treatment for chronic skin radiation injury, which burdens patients significantly. Previous studies have shown that cold atmospheric plasma has an apparent therapeutic effect on acute and chronic skin injuries in clinical. However, whether CAP is effective for radiation-induced skin injury has not been reported. We created 35Gy X-ray radiation exposure within 3 * 3 cm2 region of the left leg of rats and applied CAP to the wound bed. Wound healing, cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined in vivo or vitro. CAP alleviated radiation-induced skin injury by enhancing proliferation and migration and cellular antioxidant stress and promoting DNA damage repair through regulated nuclear translocation of NRF2. In addition, CAP inhibited the proinflammatory factors' expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and temporarily increased the pro repair factor's expression of IL-6 in irradiated tissues. At the same time, CAP also changed the polarity of macrophages to a repair-promoting phenotype. Our finding suggested that CAP ameliorated radiation-induced skin injury by activating NRF2 and ameliorating the inflammatory response. Our work provided a preliminary theoretical foundation for the clinical administration of CAP in high-dose irradiated skin injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to examine the modifiable predictors of T2DM and the roles of insulin resistance (IR) and β-cell function over a 6-year study and 30-year follow-up. METHODS A total of 462 non-diabetic participants, 282 with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and 180 with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were enrolled in this analysis. The Matsuda IR index and area under the curve of insulin-to-glucose ratio (AUCI/G-R) were used as IR and β-cell function indices in the analysis. RESULTS In all participants, multivariable analysis showed that BMI, glucose status, Matsuda IR index and systolic blood pressure (SBP) at baseline were independently associated with an increased risk of T2DM over 30 years, whereas lifestyle intervention and AUCI/G-R were inversely associated with this risk. The predictive effect of the Matsuda IR index and AUCI/G-R in participants with IGT was consistent with the results of all participants, whereas in those with NGT, only the Matsuda IR index, not the AUCI/G-R, predicted the development of T2DM (HR = 1.42, 95% CI 1.07-1.89 vs HR = 1.09, 95% CI 0.76-1.56). The predictive effect of the Matsuda IR index on T2DM existed even in participants with BMI < 25 (p = 0.049). CONCLUSION The modifiable predictors of T2DM in Chinese adults were high BMI, hypertension, mild hyperglycaemia, IR, and β-cell dysfunction. Both IR and β-cell function contributed to the development of T2DM in the long term; however, IR remains the initial and long-standing key risk factor for T2DM.

Abstract
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular disease. ENG and ACVRL1 gene variants account for up to 96% of all cases, while the remaining cases are caused by SMAD4 or GDF2 variants, or by currently undiscovered mutations in coding or non-coding regions. Here, we report a 47-year-old man who presented with duodenal bulb bleeding and chronic anemia. Physical examination also revealed bleeding from the skin and gingiva. His parents were cousins and one brother and one sister died in infancy from anemia and bleeding. Head computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a complete fetal posterior cerebral artery located in the left side, and pulmonary CTA showed pulmonary arterial hypertension. The patient was diagnosed with HHT. Peripheral blood was collected for whole-exome sequencing. Sequencing revealed a mutation in the GDF2 gene, which encodes bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9). The detected variant, c.352A > T(p.Ile118Phe), was predicted to be a neutral polymorphism; however, the patient's plasma BMP-9 levels were greatly reduced; we predicted that this might be caused by the GDF2 variant and might be involved in the HHT pathogenesis. Further research in cell lines and animal models is needed to verify the correlation between this GDF2 variant and the pathogenesis of HHT.

Abstract
MYC-expressing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the refractory lymphomas. Currently, the pathogenesis of MYC-expressing DLBCL is still unclear, and there is a lack of effective therapy. We characterized positive cofactor 4 (PC4) as an upstream regulator of c-Myc, and PC4 is overexpressed in DLBCL and is closely related to clinical staging, prognosis, and c-Myc expression. Furthermore, our in vivo and in vitro studies revealed that PC4 knockdown can induce autophagic cell death and enhance the therapeutic effect of doxorubicin in MYC-expressing DLBCL. Inhibition of c-Myc-mediated aerobic glycolysis and activation of the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway are responsible for the autophagic cell death induced by PC4 knockdown in MYC-expressing DLBCL. Using dual-luciferase reporter assay and electrophoretic mobility shift assay assays, we also found that PC4 exerts its oncogenic functions by directly binding to c-Myc promoters. To sum up, our study provides novel insights into the functions and mechanisms of PC4 in MYC-expressing DLBCL and suggests that PC4 may be a promising therapeutic target for MYC-expressing DLBCL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes after acute myocardial infarction. However, the molecular mechanism of ischemia/reperfusion injury remains unclear. Mitochondria dysfunction is a participant in and regulator of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process are not yet fully understood. We previously reported that Notch1 can reduce mitochondrial lysis, reduce myocardial infarct size, and inhibit ventricular remodeling. Herein, we explore the role of the downstream target Notch1 in mitochondrial regulation. METHODS This study constructs an ischemic/reperfusion injury rat model and a hypoxia/reoxygenation cell model. The expression of PTEN is detected by real-time PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence staining. Cell viability is analyzed with CCK-8. Apoptosis level is detected via the TUNEL assay, and mitochondrial fission/fusion is analyzed with MitoTracker Green staining. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and CK levels of creatine kinase-MB (CK) are measured with ELISA kits. RESULTS We found that PETN-Pink1-Parkin signaling is inhibited by Notch1 I/R in injured neonatal cardiomyocytes and hearts, i.e., via the inhibition of mitochondrial dysfunction and fragmentation. With the recure of PTEN or Pink1, the protective effect of Notch1 was largely diminished. CONCLUSION These results suggest that N1ICD acts protectively against ischemic reperfusion injury by suppressing PTEN-Pink1-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and fragmentation.

Abstract
Reportedly, daytime napping affects the physical fitness of athletes. However, results of these studies are conflicting, and may not be generalizable to all populations. Early adulthood is an important period linking adolescents and adults, during which building good physical fitness is crucial for their remaining lives. Thus, we investigated whether daytime napping duration is associated with physical fitness among Chinese university students. This study was based on an annual physical health examination for all university students and included 11,199 participants (6690 males; 4509 females). The daytime napping duration was assessed using a self-report questionnaire. Physical fitness was measured with a 50 m sprint; 1000 m (for males) and 800 m (for females) runs; standing long jump, sit-and-reach, pull-up (for males), and sit-up (for females) tests; and vital capacity. The adjusted association was evaluated using analysis of covariance. Of the participants, 86% napped regularly. After covariate adjustment was performed, significant V-shaped associations were observed between the daytime napping duration and the 50 m sprint and 800 m run results in males and females. Inverted V-shaped associations were observed between the daytime napping duration and the sit-and-reach, standing long jump, and pull-up test performances and vital capacity in males and between the daytime napping duration and the standing long jump test performance in females. Daytime napping for <30 min may have beneficial effects on physical fitness among university students.

Abstract
Objective To explore how a stringent campus lockdown affects the physical activity (PA), sleep and mental health of Chinese university students living in student dormitories during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods Data on PA, sleep and mental health were collected between 24 March and 4 April 2022 from 2084 university students (mean age = 22.4 years, 61.1% male students) via an online questionnaire distributed by the students’ advisers of each dormitory. The Chinese short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-C), Athens Insomnia Scale (CAIS) and General Health Questionnaire 12-item (GHQ-12) were applied. The Mann–Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to evaluate the PA profile differences between genders, before and during the lockdown period and between students’ living environments. Chi-squared (χ2) or Fisher’s exact test was used to assess changes in health behaviors by gender and students’ living environment compared to before the lockdown. A mediation model was used to examine whether sleep disorder mediated the relationship between PA and mental health in different students’ living environments. Results Participants reported a significant decrease in weekly total PA levels (63.9%). Mean daily sedentary time increased by 21.4% and daily lying time increased by 10.7% compared to before lockdown. Among the participants, 21.2% had experienced insomnia, and 39.0% reported having high mental distress. Female students reported 10% higher rates of sleep disorders than male students (p < 0.001), and also experienced a higher incidence of mental disorders (p < 0.001). Students living with three roommates had a larger decrease in frequencies and durations of participation in light PA than other students (p < 0.001). PA was negatively associated with sleep and mental health, and sleep disorder was a mediating factor between PA and mental health in the students living with two and three roommates. Conclusion This study showed that strict lockdowns within university dormitories during the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the health of university students by changing their health behaviors, physical activity and sleep. Our findings indicate a need for strategies to promote an active lifestyle for students in space-limited dormitories in order to maintain health during a prolonged lockdown.

Abstract
Physical exercise has beneficial effects on human health, and several studies have examined the association between exercise and mental health. However, most of these studies focused on exercise intensity, duration, or frequency. Evidence for the association between the duration of maintaining an exercise habit and mental illness is lacking, especially in young adulthood-a crucial period that bridges adolescence and adulthood. This study investigated the association between the duration of keeping an exercise habit and mental illness and life attitude among Chinese university students. A total of 11,392 university students participated in this study (6866 men and 4526 women). The duration of keeping an exercise habit was evaluated using a questionnaire with relevant questions. Exercise habit was defined as exercising for longer than 30 min per session and more than twice a week. Mental illness consisted of two elements: depressive symptoms-assessed using the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale, and anxiety symptoms-assessed using the seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale. Life attitude was assessed using a questionnaire with relevant questions. Multivariate logistic regression analysis examined the adjusted association between the duration of keeping an exercise habit and mental illness and life attitude. In the final adjusted model, compared to the no exercise category, the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of depressive symptoms were 0.80 (0.70, 0.91) for those with an exercise habit of 1-4 months, and 0.72 (0.63, 0.83) for those with one of >4 months (p for trend <0.001). Additionally, when compared to participants with no exercise habit, the adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) for anxiety symptoms were 1.01 (0.90, 1.14) for those with a habit of 1-4 months and 0.78 (0.69, 0.88) for those with one of >4 months (p for trend =0.001). A longer duration of keeping an exercise habit was also significantly associated with positive life attitudes. Our results showed that a long duration of keeping an exercise habit was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of mental illness among university students. Further, maintaining a more prolonged exercise habit may benefit individuals' mental health in young adulthood.

Abstract
Extra-nodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL) is a highly aggressive Epstein-Barr virus associated lymphoma, typically presenting in the nasal and paranasal areas. We assembled a large series of ENKTCL (n = 209) for comprehensive genomic analysis and correlative clinical study. The International Lymphoma Prognostic Index (IPI), site of disease, stage, lymphadenopathy, and hepatomegaly were associated with overall survival. Genetic analysis revealed frequent oncogenic activation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway and alterations in tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and genes associated with epigenomic regulation. Integrated genomic analysis including recurrent mutations and genomic copy number alterations using consensus clustering identified seven distinct genetic clusters that were associated with different clinical outcomes, thus constituting previously unrecognized risk groups. The genetic profiles of ENTKCLs from Asian and Hispanic ethnic groups showed striking similarity, indicating shared pathogenetic mechanism and tumor evolution. Interestingly, we discovered a novel functional cooperation between activating STAT3 mutations and loss of the TSG, PRDM1, in promoting NK-cell growth and survival. This study provides a genetic roadmap for further analysis and facilitates investigation of actionable therapeutic opportunities in this aggressive lymphoma.

Abstract
This study presents a new stacking ensemble model for contamination event detection using multiple water quality parameters. The stacking model consists of a number of machine learning base predictors and a meta-predictor, and it is trained using cross-validation to capture different features in multiple water quality parameters and then used for water quality predictions. For each water quality parameter, the residuals between predicted and measured data are classified to identify anomalies with thresholds derived from the sequential model-based optimization method and detection probabilities updated using Bayesian analysis. Alarms derived from individual water quality parameters are fused to enhance the anomaly signals and improve the detection accuracy. The proposed stacking-based method is evaluated using a data set of six water quality parameters from a real water distribution system with randomly simulated events. The stacking-based method could detect 2496 events out of a total 2500 events without a false alarm. The results show that the stacking method outperforms an artificial neural network (ANN) benchmark method in contamination event detection. The stacking method has a higher true positive rate, lower false positive rate and higher F1 score than the ANN method. This implies that the stacking method has great promise of detecting contamination events in the water distribution system.

Abstract
High-frequency smartphone use leads to physical inactivity and may consequently cause the loss of physical fitness. Although the relationship between smartphone usage and physical fitness has been investigated, most of these studies focused on partial physical fitness, and the evaluation of the duration of smartphone use was insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between the time period of using smart phones and physical fitness in Chinese university students. In this cross-sectional study, 8977 college students (5189 men and 3788 women) were enrolled. The assessment of smartphone usage was performed using a self-reported questionnaire. Physical fitness was measured in a sports facility, consisting of grip strength, standing long jump, and sit-and-reach test. The post adjustment relationship between smartphone use duration and physical fitness was examined by using the ANCOVA test. In the final adjusted model, an inverse association was observed between the smartphone use duration and grip strength in male and female participants (p = 0.003 and <0.001, respectively). The smartphone use duration was also negatively associated with standing long jump in both sexes (p = 0.003 for male and = 0.026 for female). In male participants, the longer the period of using smartphones, the lower their flexibility (p = 0.026). In conclusion, this study investigated the association between the duration of smartphone use and physical fitness. The results showed that longer durations of smartphone use were associated with weaker grip strength, a shorter standing long jump, and lower flexibility. Controlling smartphone-use duration might be beneficial for physical fitness among university students.

Abstract
BackgroundThe preferential Janus kinase-1 inhibitor FIL is approved for treatment of moderate to severe active RA in Europe and Japan.ObjectivesIn this post hoc, exploratory analysis, efficacy and safety of long-term treatment with FIL (± MTX) were assessed in MTX-naïve pts treated with FIL or MTX in the Phase 3 PS (NCT02886728).1MethodsPts received FIL 200 mg (FIL200)+MTX, FIL 100 mg (FIL100)+MTX, FIL200 alone, or MTX alone up to 52 W in PS.1 Those completing PS on study drug could enter LTE (NCT03025308; data cutoff: June 1, 2020). MTX completers were rerandomized, blinded, to FIL200 or FIL100; pts on FIL in PS remained on the same dose in LTE. MTX was washed out for 4 W at LTE baseline (BL); pts could (re)start MTX and/or other conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) ≥4 W after LTE first dosing.1 Efficacy data to LTE W48 and safety data are reported.ResultsAs of June 1, 2020, 439/492 (89%) and 144/169 (85%) pts who entered LTE from PS FIL200 and PS FIL100 groups, respectively, remained on LTE study treatment; of those rerandomized from MTX, 131/148 (89%) FIL200 and 133/151 (88%) FIL100 pts remained on study treatment. LTE BL characteristics were similar between FIL200 and FIL100 groups. After MTX washout, 17% of FIL200 and 23% of FIL100 pts (re)started MTX (at clinical judgment). ACR20/50/70 response rates among pts from PS FIL arms decreased modestly from LTE BL to W12 then stabilized. Among pts who switched from PS MTX to LTE FIL, response rates remained stable or improved to approach those of PS FIL pts by W48 (Figure 1). Similar trends were seen in DAS28(CRP) and CDAI. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), Grade ≥3 AEs, serious AEs, and infections were largely comparable across groups and did not increase after MTX to FIL switch. There were 6 deaths, all among PS FIL200 pts (Table 1).Table 1.EAIRs of TEAEs through June 2020EAIR (95% CI)FIL200+MTX →FIL200 →FIL100+MTX →MTX →MTX →FIL200 LTEFIL200 LTEFIL100 LTEFIL200 LTEFIL100 LTEn=325n=167n=169n=148n=151PYE=474.4PYE=232.5PYE=236.4PYE=213.4PYE=215.4TEAE49.7 (43.8, 56.5)46.9 (38.9, 56.6)49.9 (41.7, 59.8)50.6 (41.9, 61.1)46.4 (38.2, 56.5)TEAE Grade ≥37.2 (5.1, 10.0)6.5 (3.9, 10.7)10.2 (6.8, 15.1)7.0 (4.2, 11.7)7.0 (4.2, 11.6)TE serious AE5.9 (4.1, 8.5)6.0 (3.6, 10.2)8.9 (5.8, 13.6)6.6 (3.9, 11.1)6.5 (3.9, 11.0)Death1.1 (0.3, 2.5)0.4 (0.1, 3.1)0 (0, 1.6)0 (0, 1.7)0 (0, 1.7)Infections28.5 (24.0, 33.7)29.7 (23.4, 37.6)27.5 (21.6, 35.1)28.6 (22.2, 36.7)27.4 (21.2, 35.4)Serious infections1.1 (0.4, 2.5)3.0 (1.4, 6.3)2.5 (1.1, 5.7)1.9 (0.7, 5.0)1.9 (0.7, 4.9)Opportunistic infections0.2 (0, 1.5)0 (0, 1.6)0.8 (0.2, 3.4)0 (0, 1.7)0 (0, 1.7)Herpes zoster0.8 (0.3, 2.2)1.7 (0.6, 4.6)0.8 (0.2, 3.4)1.9 (0.7, 5.0)0.9 (0.2, 3.7)MACE (adjudicated)0.6 (0.1, 1.8)0.9 (0.2, 3.4)0 (0, 1.6)0 (0, 1.7)0 (0, 1.7)VTE (adjudicated for DVT/PE)0.2 (0, 1.2)0.4 (0.1, 3.1)0 (0, 1.6)0 (0, 1.7)0 (0, 1.7)Malignancies (excluding NMSC)0.6 (0.2, 2.0)0 (0, 1.6)1.7 (0.6, 4.5)0.5 (0, 2.6)0 (0, 1.7)NMSC0.6 (0.2, 2.0)0.4 (0.1, 3.1)0.8 (0.2, 3.4)0.5 (0, 2.6)0 (0, 1.7)DVT, deep vein thrombosis; EAIRs, exposure-adjusted incidence rates (per 100 patient-years of exposure); MACE, major adverse cardiovascular event; NMSC, nonmelanoma skin cancer; PE, pulmonary embolism; VTE, venous thromboembolismFigure 1.ConclusionOverall, response rates improved from LTE BL to W48 for pts switched from PS MTX to FIL and decreased modestly for PS FIL pts.

Abstract
BackgroundThe preferential Janus kinase-1 inhibitor FIL is approved for treatment of moderate to severe active RA in Europe and Japan.ObjectivesEfficacy and safety of FIL were assessed in patients (pts) with IR to bDMARDs in a LTE trial (NCT03025308) enrolled from a Phase 3 PS (NCT02873936).1MethodsbDMARD-IR pts received FIL 200 mg (FIL200), FIL 100 mg (FIL100), or placebo (PBO), all with stable conventional synthetic (cs)DMARDs up to 24 weeks (W). At W14 of the PS, pts with IR to FIL or PBO (<20% improvement in swollen [66] and tender [68] joint counts) switched to standard of care (SOC; investigator’s choice of treatment). Pts completing the PS on FIL, PBO, or SOC could enter the LTE. PS FIL pts were maintained, blinded, on their FIL dose; PS PBO and PS SOC pts were rerandomized, blinded, to FIL200 or FIL100. Efficacy data to LTE W48 and safety data to data cutoff (June 1, 2020) are reported.ResultsThe PS included 147, 153, and 148 pts on FIL200, FIL100, and PBO. Pts continuing on LTE FIL200 and FIL100 at data cutoff: 80/121 (66%) and 76/110 (69%) from PS FIL200 and FIL100; 35/47 (75%) and 32/46 (70%) from PS PBO, and 13/23 (57%) and 13/22 (59%) from PS SOC. LTE baseline (BL) characteristics were similar in FIL200 and FIL100 pts. During LTE, PS FIL ACR20/50/70 response rates decreased modestly by W48 (Figure 1). Among PS PBO pts, response rates were lower at LTE BL, reaching similar levels to PS FIL pts by W48; rates increased to W48 in PS SOC pts on either FIL dose but not to levels of other groups. Percentages of pts attaining DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2, DAS28(CRP) <2.6, CDAI ≤10, and CDAI ≤2.8 were maintained up to W48 for FIL/FIL pts. PBO/FIL and SOC/FIL pts showed similar patterns to ACR responses (Figure 1). Exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs)/100 pt-years of exposure for treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE), serious AEs, and serious infection were higher in SOC/FIL pts vs FIL/FIL or PBO/FIL pts, but samples were small and confidence intervals overlapped.

Abstract
BackgroundThe preferential Janus kinase-1 inhibitor FIL is approved for treatment of moderate to severe active RA in Europe and Japan.ObjectivesEfficacy and safety of FIL were assessed in pts with IR to MTX who completed a Phase 3 trial (NCT02889796)1 and enrolled in an LTE (NCT03025308).MethodsPts completing the PS1 on study drug were eligible to enter the LTE (data cutoff: June 1, 2020). Median exposure: 2.2 years (y). Efficacy data to W48 are reported for 4 treatment groups (all with background MTX): pts receiving FIL 200 mg (FIL200) or FIL 100 mg (FIL100) in the PS and continuing their dose in LTE (FIL200/FIL200, FIL100/FIL100) and ADA pts rerandomized, double blind, to FIL200 or FIL100 for LTE (ADA/FIL200, ADA/FIL100); safety data are reported.ResultsAs of June 1, 2020, 522/571 (91%) FIL200/FIL200, 502/570 (88%) FIL100/FIL100, 118/128 (92%) ADA/FIL200, and 115/130 (89%) ADA/FIL100 pts remained on study drug. LTE baseline disease characteristics were similar between groups: mean duration of RA approximately 8.7 y; DAS28(CRP) 2.55, and mean concurrent MTX dosage was 15.0 mg/week. Proportions of pts achieving ACR20/50/70, DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2, <2.6, and CDAI ≤10, ≤2.8 were generally maintained in all LTE groups through W48 (Figure 1).

Abstract
Introduction There is a growing consensus on brain networks that it is not immutable but rather a dynamic complex system for adapting environment. The neuroimaging research studying how brain regions work collaboratively with dynamic methods had demonstrated its effectiveness in revealing the neural mechanisms of schizophrenia. Objectives To investigate altered dynamic brain functional topology in first-episode untreated schizophrenia patients (SZs) and establish classification models to find objective brain imaging biomarkers. Methods Resting-state-functional magnetic resonance data for SZs and matched healthy controls were obtained(Table1). ![]()
Power-264-template was used to extract nodes and sliding-window approach was carried out to establish functional connectivity matrices. Functional topology was assessed by eigenvector centrality(EC) and node efficiency and its time-fluctuating was evaluated with coefficient of variation(CV). Group differences of dynamic topology and correlation analysis between Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS) scores and topology indices showing group differences, which also were used in establishing classification models, was examed. Results The CV of node efficiency in angular and paracingulate gyrus was larger in SZs. There are 13 nodes assigned into several brain networks displaying altered CV of EC between groups(Figure1.A). Fluctuation of EC of the node in DMN, which was lower in SZs, showed negative correlation with PANSS total scores(Figure1.B). Dynamic functional topology of above nodes was used to train classification models and demonstrated 80% and 71% accuracy for support vector classification(SVC) and random forest(RF), respectively(Figure2). ![]()

Conclusions Dynamic functional topology illustrated a capability in identifying SZs. Aberrated dynamics of DMN relevant to severity of patient’s symptoms could reveal the reason why it contributed to classification. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Introduction
Apart from the psychiatric symptoms, cognitive deficits are also the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Brain network control theory provided information on the role of a specific brain region in the cognitive control process, helping understand the neural mechanism of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.
Objectives
To characterize the control properties of functional brain network in first-episode untreated patients with schizophrenia and the relationships between controllability and psychiatric symptoms, as well as exploring the predictive value of controllability in differentiating patients from healthy controls (HCs).
Methods
Average and modal controllability of brain networks were calculated and compared between 133 first-episode untreated patients with schizophrenia and 135 HCs. The associations between controllability and clinical symptoms were evaluated using sparse canonical correlation analysis. Support vector machine (SVM) and SVM-recursive feature elimination combined with the controllability were performed to establish the individual prediction model.
Results
Compared to HCs, the patients with schizophrenia showed increased average controllability and decreased modal controllability in dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). Brain controllability predominantly in somatomotor, default mode, and visual networks was associated with the positive symptomatology of schizophrenia. The established model could identify patients with an accuracy of 0.68. Furthermore, the most discriminative features were located in dACC, medial prefrontal lobe, precuneus and superior temporal gyrus.
Conclusions
Altered controllability in dACC may play a critical role in the neuropathological mechanisms of cognitive deficit in schizophrenia, which could drive the brain function to different states to cope with varied cognitive tasks. As symptom-related biomarkers, controllability could be also beneficial to individual prediction in schizophrenia.

Abstract
Introduction The extant findings have been of great heterogeneity due to partial volume effects in the investigation of cortical gray matter volume (GMV), high comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders, and concomitant therapy in the neuroimaging studies of social anxiety disorder (SAD). Objectives
To identity gray matter deficits in cortical and subcortical structures in non-comorbid never-treated patients, so as to explore the “pure” SAD-specific pathophysiology and neurobiology. Methods
Thirty-two non-comorbid free-of-treatment patients with SAD and 32 demography-matched healthy controls were recruited to undergo high-resolution 3.0-Tesla T1-weighted MRI. Cortical thickness (CT) and subcortical GMV were estimated using FreeSurfer; then the whole-brain vertex-wise analysis was performed to compare group differences in CT. Besides, differences in subcortical GMV of priori selected regions-of-interest: amygdala, hippocampus, putamen, and pallidum were compared by an analysis of covariance with age, gender, and total subcortical GMV as covariates. Results The SAD patients demonstrated significantly decreased CT near-symmetrically in the bilateral prefrontal cortex (Monte Carlo simulations of P < 0.05). Besides, smaller GMV in the left hippocampus and pallidum were also observed in the SAD cohort (two-sample t-test of P < 0.05). Conclusions For the first time, the current study investigated the structural alterations of CT and subcortical GMV in non-comorbid never-treated patients with SAD. Our findings provide preliminary evidences that structural deficits in cortical-striatal-limbic circuit may contribute to the psychopathological basis of SAD, and offer more detailed structural substrates for the involvement of such aberrant circuit in the imbalance between defective bottom-up response and top-down control to external stimuli in SAD.

Abstract
The Nudum (Nud) gene controls the caryopsis type of cereal crops by regulating lipid biosynthetic pathways. Based on the HvNud sequence and its homologous gene sequences in wheat, a conserved sgRNA was designed to obtain the mutants from the barley variety “Vlamingh” and the wheat variety “Fielder” via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A total of 19 and 118 transgenic plants were obtained, and 11 and 61 mutant plants were identified in T0 transgenic plants in barley and wheat after PCR-RE detection, and the editing efficiencies of the targeted gene were 57.9 and 51.7% in barley and wheat, respectively. The grain shape of the barley mutants was naked. Five different combinations of mutations for wheat TaNud genes were identified in the T0 generation, and their homozygous-edited plants were obtained in the T1 generation. Interestingly, the conjoined plants in which one plant has different genotypes were first identified. The different tillers in an individual T0 plant showed independent transgenic or mutant events in both barley and wheat, and the different genotypes can stably inherit into T1 generation, indicating that the T0 transgenic plants were the conjoined type. In addition, we did not find any off-target mutations in both barley and wheat. A candidate method for detecting putative-edited wheat plants was suggested to avoid losing mutations in this investigation. This study provides not only materials for studying the function of the Nud gene in barley and wheat but also a system for detecting the mutants in wheat.

Abstract
Purpose Vegetable intake is an important part of our everyday diet and is associated with many positive health outcomes. Although previous studies have investigated the association between vegetable consumption and depressive symptoms among various populations, no study has examined this association in the adult working population. The present study investigated whether the frequency of consumption of a specific type of vegetable is associated with the prevalence of depressive symptoms in Japanese adult workers. Participants and Methods The final participants consisted of 1724 Japanese adults, and a cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the results. The frequency of vegetable consumption and depressive symptoms was evaluated using a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), respectively. The association between the variables was examined using Poisson regression analysis. Age-stratified analysis was performed, and SDS cut-off values of 45 and 50 were used to perform a sensitivity analysis. Results After adjustment for covariates, including age, body mass index, sociodemographic and lifestyle-related variables, health condition, C-reactive protein, and other dietary variables, an inverse association was found between tomato product consumption and the prevalence of depressive symptoms among men (P for trend <0.01); however, no significant association was found for other vegetable types. For women, there was no association between the frequency of consumption of any of the vegetable types and the prevalence of depressive symptoms. The results were confirmed by the age-stratified analysis for both genders. Conclusion Consumption of tomato products may help alleviate depressive symptoms, regardless of differences in dietary culture among men.

Abstract
Global deployment of vaccines poses significant challenges in the distribution and use of the accompanying immunoassays, one of the standard methods for quality control of vaccines, particularly when establishing assays in countries worldwide to support testing/release upon importation. This work describes our effort toward developing an integrated, portable device to carry out affinity assays for viral particles quantification in viral vaccines by incorporating (i) aptamers, (ii) microfluidic devices, and (iii) electrochemical detection. We generated and characterized more than eight aptamers against multiple membrane proteins of cytomegalovirus (CMV), which we used as a model system and designed and fabricated electrochemical microfluidic devices to measure CMV concentrations in a candidate vaccine under development. The aptamer-based assays provided a half maximal effective concentration, EC50, of 12 U/mL, comparable to that of an ELISA using a pair of antibodies (EC50 60 U/mL). The device measured relative CMV concentrations accurately (within ±10% bias) and precisely (11%, percent relative standard deviation). This work represents the critical first steps toward developing simple, affordable, and robust affinity assays for global deployment without the need for sensitive equipment and extensive analyst training.

Abstract
Poor sleep quality or short and long sleep duration are associated with many negative health outcomes, such as diabetes, hypertension, and fatigue, which may directly or indirectly correlate with poor mental health. Although, the association between sleep duration and quality, and depressive symptoms has been examined, the results of these studies were inconsistent and evidence specifically on older women is lacking. Therefore, we designed a cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between sleep duration and quality, and depressive symptoms in a relatively large sample of older Chinese women. The data were collected from 1,429 older women aged ≥60 years during bone-health examinations in Shanghai. Information on sleep duration and quality were assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS), and depressive symptoms were considered present for SDS scores ≥ 45. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between sleep and depressive symptoms. After adjusting for all potential confounding factors, a J-shaped association was found between sleep duration and depressive symptoms. When a sleep duration of 6–8 hours was set as a reference, the odds ratios and 95% confidential intervals of short and long sleep duration were 1.31 (0.99, 1.73) and 2.10 (1.40, 3.16), respectively. Moreover, sleep quality was inversely associated with the prevalence of depressive symptoms (p for trend = 0.040). When the SDS cut-off score defining depressive symptoms was changed to 40 and 50, these associations were somewhat weakened, but the trend did not change. This study replicated and extended prior research findings that sleep duration and quality may influence mental health in older women.

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to analyse how COVID-19 related government policies influenced stock markets. Of the 25 countries we consider, stock returns did not react to any of the three policies - the stimulus package, lockdown, and travel ban in 20% of countries. For around 48% of countries, the effect on returns was negative, due largely to the stimulus package and lockdown policies. Of the 13 countries that experienced a change in the cash rate, returns were negative for 46% of the markets. The travel ban had the least effect on stock returns.

Abstract
During a major radiation event, a large number of people need to be rapidly assessed for radiation damage to ensure effective medical treatment and efficient use of medical resources. However, current techniques cannot meet the requirement of rapid detection of large quantities of samples in an emergency. It is essential to develop rapid and accurate radiation biodosimeters in peripheral blood. Here, we identified radiation sensitive genes in mice by RNA sequencing and evaluated their utility as radiation biodosimeters in human cell lines. Mice were subjected to gamma-irradiation with different doses (0–8 Gy, .85 Gy/min), and the tail venous blood was analyzed by RNA sequencing. We have identified 5 genes with significantly differential expression after radiation exposure. We found that positive cofactor 4(PC4) had well correlation with radiation dose in human lymphoblastoid cell line after irradiation. The relative expression of PC4 gene showed a good linear correlation with the radiation dose after 1–5 Gy irradiation (.85 Gy/min). PC4 gene can be rapidly recruited to the DNA damage sites faster than γ-H2AX after radiation in immunofluorescence detection. In conclusion, PC4 may be represented as new radiation biological dosimeter for early assessment.

Abstract
It’s challenging work to identify disease-causing genes from the next-generation sequencing (NGS) data of patients with Mendelian disorders. To improve this situation, researchers have developed many phenotype-driven gene prioritization methods using a patient’s genotype and phenotype information, or phenotype information only as input to rank the candidate’s pathogenic genes. Evaluations of these ranking methods provide practitioners with convenience for choosing an appropriate tool for their workflows, but retrospective benchmarks are underpowered to provide statistically significant results in their attempt to differentiate. In this research, the performance of ten recognized causal-gene prioritization methods was benchmarked using 305 cases from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) project and 209 in-house cases via a relatively unbiased methodology. The evaluation results show that methods using Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms and Variant Call Format (VCF) files as input achieved better overall performance than those using phenotypic data alone. Besides, LIRICAL and AMELIE, two of the best methods in our benchmark experiments, complement each other in cases with the causal genes ranked highly, suggesting a possible integrative approach to further enhance the diagnostic efficiency. Our benchmarking provides valuable reference information to the computer-assisted rapid diagnosis in Mendelian diseases and sheds some light on the potential direction of future improvement on disease-causing gene prioritization methods.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Although osimertinib achieved convincing efficacy for patients with EGFR T790M-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as second-line treatment in the AURA3 clinical trials, patients developed drug resistance ultimately. Therefore, the present study was to investigate the clinical outcome and safety of osimertinib plus anlotinib for patients with previously treated EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC. METHODS Designed as a retrospective study, this study consecutively included a total of 33 patients with advanced NSCLC who possessed a EGFR T790M-positive mutation and progressed after the first-line therapy. Eligible patients were treated with osimertinib plus anlotinib. Baseline characteristics of the patients were collected during hospitalization. Efficacy of the combination regimen was assessed with the change of target lesion using imaging evidence according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, and all the patients were followed up regularly. Adverse reactions were collected and documented during the treatment. Univariate analysis according to baseline characteristic subgroups was performed using log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was carried out by Cox regression analysis. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The best overall response of the patients during osimertinib and anlotinib combination indicated that complete response was found in one patient, partial response was observed in 26 patients, stable disease was noted in 5 patients and progressive disease was reported in one patient. Therefore, objective response rate (ORR) of the combination regimen was 81.8% (95%CI: 64.5%-93.0%), and disease control rate (DCR) was 97.0% (95%CI: 84.2%-99.9%). Furthermore, the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 33 patients with NSCLC was 15.5 months (95%CI: 6.19-24.81). In addition, the median overall survival (OS) of the 33 patients with NSCLC was 23.8 months (95% CI: 17.67-29.93). Safety profile suggested that the most common adverse reactions of the patients with NSCLC who received anlotinib plus osimertinib were hypertension (63.6%), fatigue (57.6%), diarrhoea (48.5%%), dermal toxicity (39.4%) and proteinuria (33.3%). Interestingly, multivariate Cox regression analysis for PFS demonstrated that ECOG performance status was an independent factor to predict the PFS of the combination regimen. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Osimertinib plus anlotinib regimen preliminarily exhibited encouraging clinical outcomes and acceptable safety profile for patients with previously treated EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC numerically. This conclusion should be validated in prospective clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of smartphones has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, especially among the youth. However, smartphone overuse has been reported to be related to several negative mental and physical health outcomes. Although the association between smartphone use and physical fitness has been investigated in several studies, these studies only focused on specific elements of physical fitness, such as grip strength. In addition, evidence on young adults is limited. Thus, this study aimed to examine the association between the duration of smartphone use and physical fitness among Chinese university students. METHODS A total of 11,242 university students volunteered to participate in the study. The duration of smartphone use was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. Physical fitness tests consisted of a 50-m sprint and vital capacity tests for both sexes, a 1000-m run and pull-up test for male students, and an 800-m run and sit-up test for female students. RESULTS The duration of smartphone use among the participants was 5.4 h/day for male students and 6.1 h/day for female students on average. After adjusting for confounding factors, in male students, a long duration of smartphone use was significantly associated with a slow 50 m sprint and 1000 m run time, lower pull-up times, and poor vital capacity (p = 0.004, 0.002, 0.002 and 0.040, respectively). In female students, a long duration of smartphone use was associated with a slow 800 m run time (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This study found that longer duration of smartphone use was associated with lower physical fitness among Chinese university students. The duration of smartphone use may be an influencing factor for physical fitness.

Abstract
At present, there is no vaccine available against Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, a common zoonotic pathogenic bacterium. In a previous study, the
authors prepared a divalent combination DNA vaccine, pOPRL+pOPRF, which exhibited good
protective efficacy. To explore the optimal immunization dose of this divalent combination
DNA vaccine, in the present study, chickens were vaccinated with 25, 50, 100, and 200 µg
doses. The levels of serum antibody, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and interleukin-2 (IL-2) were
determined, and lymphocyte proliferation assays were performed. After challenge with
virulent P. aeruginosa, the protective efficacy was evaluated. Following
vaccination, the serum antibodies, stimulation index values, and concentrations of IFN-γ
and IL-2 were significantly higher in chickens vaccinated with 100 and 200 µg vaccines
than in those vaccinated with 25 and 50 µg doses (P<0.05). IFN-γ and
IL-2 concentrations in chickens immunized with 100 µg vaccine were slightly higher than
those in chickens immunized with 200 µg vaccine, although the difference was not
statistically significant. The protective rates were 55%, 65%, 85%, and 85% with 25, 50,
100, and 200 µg of the pOPRL+pOPRF DNA vaccine, respectively. Thus, the immune efficacy of
the pOPRL+pOPRF DNA vaccine increased with an increase in immunization dose, but this does
not imply that a higher dose necessarily achieves a better outcome. The optimal
immunization dose of pOPRL+pOPRF DNA vaccine in chickens was 100 µg.

Abstract
Purpose The present study was to investigate the real-world efficacy and safety of anlotinib monotherapy as third-line therapy for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 83 elderly patients (>65 years) with NSCLC who were progressed at least two lines of previous systemic therapy were recruited retrospectively. Patients were treated with anlotinib monotherapy (12 mg or 10 mg). Efficacy of anlotinib was assessed and all the patients were followed up regularly. Adverse reactions were collected during anlotinib administration. Univariate analysis was performed using Log rank test and multivariate analysis was adjusted by Cox regression analysis. Additionally, prognostic analysis according to common adverse reactions was implemented to identify the potential clinical significance. Results The best overall response of the 83 elderly patients during anlotinib monotherapy indicated that partial response (PR) was observed in six patients, stable disease (SD) was noted in 59 patients, and progressive disease (PD) was reported in 18 patients. Consequently, the objective response rate (ORR) was 7.2% (95% CI=2.7–15.1%) and the disease control rate (DCR) was 78.3% (95% CI=67.9–86.6%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 83 elderly patients with NSCLC was 4.2 months (95% CI=3.51–4.89). Furthermore, the median overall survival (OS) of the 83 patients was 9.6 months (95% CI=6.65–12.55). The safety profile suggested that the relatively common adverse reactions of the elderly patients with ES-SCLC receiving anlotinib therapy were hypertension (49.4%), fatigue (45.8%), and hand–foot syndrome (39.8%). Interestingly, association analysis exhibited that the median PFS of patients with hypertension and non-hypertension was 4.5 and 3.0 months, respectively (χ2=6.306, P=0.012). Conclusion Anlotinib monotherapy demonstrated a satisfactory efficacy and tolerable safety profile in third-line settings for elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients who experienced a hypertension adverse reaction induced by anlotinib therapy might confer superior PFS. The conclusion should be validated in prospective clinical trials subsequently.
