Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to examine the effects of a 5:2 regimens diet (2 days per week of energy restriction by formula diet) or an exercise (2 days per week of high-intensity interval training and resistance training) intervention compared with routine lifestyle education (control) on glycemic control and cardiometabolic health among adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This two-center, open-label, three-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial recruited 326 participants with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes and randomized them into 12 weeks of diet intervention (n = 109), exercise intervention (n = 108), or lifestyle education (control) (n = 109). The primary outcome was the change of glycemic control measured as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) between the diet or exercise intervention groups and the control group after the 12-week intervention. RESULTS The diet intervention significantly reduced HbA1c level (%) after the 12-week intervention (-0.72, 95% CI -0.95 to -0.48) compared with the control group (-0.37, 95% CI -0.60 to -0.15) (diet vs. control -0.34, 95% CI -0.58 to -0.11, P = 0.007). The reduction in HbA1c level in the exercise intervention group (-0.46, 95% CI -0.70 to -0.23) did not significantly differ from the control group (exercise vs. control -0.09, 95% CI -0.32 to 0.15, P = 0.47). The exercise intervention group was superior in maintaining lean body mass. Both diet and exercise interventions induced improvements in adiposity and hepatic steatosis. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the medically supervised 5:2 energy-restricted diet could provide an alternative strategy for improving glycemic control and that the exercise regimen could improve body composition, although it inadequately improved glycemic control.

Abstract
Previous studies have found that the association between modifiable risk factors and arterial stiffness varied with age. We aimed to explore the age-specific difference in the relationship between new cardiovascular health (CVH) score and arterial stiffness and further detected the age-specific temporal relationships in a prospective cohort study. During a median 4.3 years follow-up, 3757 participants were recruited in this study. A modified AHA "Life's Essential 8" construct (mLE8 with lacking information on diet habits) was used to evaluate CVH. Branchial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured to assess arterial stiffness. Data were analyzed with logistic regression models, restricted cubic splines (RCS), and cross-lagged path analysis (age < 60 vs. age ≥ 60). In age-stratified analysis, moderate (OR = 2.21, 95% CI 1.11-4.43) and low (OR = 3.37, 95% CI 1.63-7.00) CVH were related with a higher incidence of elevated baPWV compared to high CVH in middle-aged adults, while this association was not detected in older adults. RCS curve showed a steeper linear association between CVH score and elevated baPWV in middle-aged adults than older individuals. In the cross-lagged path analysis, the decline in CVH score preceded the increment in arterial stiffness in middle-aged adults, but they appeared to alter simultaneously in older adults. Our study detected an age-specific difference in the relationship between mLE8 CVH score and elevated baPWV and showed that low CVH preceded alterations of baPWV in middle-aged adults, suggesting the importance of improvement in CVH during the early stage of the lifespan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between pregestational diabetes mellitus (PDM) and risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) is well recognized; however, the importance of glycemic control and other coexisting risk factors during pregnancy is less clear. We sought to determine the relative risk (RR) of major CHD (mCHD) among offspring from pregnancies complicated by PDM and the effect of first-trimester glycemic control on mCHD risk. METHODS We determined the incidence of mCHD (requiring surgery within 1 year of birth or resulting in pregnancy termination or fetal demise) among registered births in Alberta, Canada. Linkage of diabetes status, maximum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at < 16 weeks' gestation and other covariates was performed using data from the Alberta Perinatal Health Program registry. Risk of mCHD according to HbA1c was estimated as an adjusted RR (aRR), calculated using log-binomial modeling. RESULTS Of 1412 cases of mCHD in 594 773 (2.37/1000) births in the study period, mCHD was present in 48/7497 with PDM (6.4/1000; RR, 2.8 (95% CI, 2.1-3.7); P < 0.0001). In the entire cohort, increased maternal age (aRR, 1.03 (95% CI, 1.02-1.04); P < 0.0001) and multiple gestation (aRR, 1.37 (95% CI, 1.1-1.8); P = 0.02) were also associated with mCHD risk, whereas maternal prepregnancy weight > 91 kg was not. The stratified risk for mCHD associated with HbA1c ≤ 6.1%, > 6.1-8.0% and > 8.0% was 4.2/1000, 6.8/1000 and 17.1/1000 PDM/gestational diabetes mellitus births, respectively; the aRR of mCHD associated with PDM and HbA1c > 8.0% was 8.5 (95% CI, 5.0-14.4) compared to those without diabetes and 5.5 (95% CI, 1.6-19.4) compared to PDM with normal HbA1c (≤ 6.1%). CONCLUSIONS PDM is associated with a RR of 2.8 for mCHD, increasing to 8.5 in those with HbA1c > 8%. These data should facilitate refinement of referral indications for high-risk pregnancy screening. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The American Heart Association (AHA) updated the construct and algorithm of cardiovascular health (CVH) recently. We aimed to explore the relationship between the new CVH score and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS AND RESULTS 3266 adults free of NAFLD identified via ultrasound were recruited in this prospective study. A modified AHA "Life's Essential 8" (mLE8, i.e., physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure) were collected to evaluate the CVH score. Then participants were categorized into low, moderate, and high CVH subgroups based on overall mLE8 CVH score. According to modified Life's Simple 7 (mLS7) CVH construct, participants were also subdivided into poor, intermediate, and ideal CVH subgroups. During a median 4.3 years follow-up, 623 incident cases of NAFLD were recorded. Compared to those with high CVH, participants with low CVH (adjusted OR = 2.56, 95% CI 1.55-4.24) and moderate CVH (adjusted OR = 1.83, 95% CI 1.17-2.85) had a significantly increased risk of incident NAFLD. Participants with poor CVH (mLS7) but without low CVH (mLE8) did not show a significant elevated risk of incident NAFLD (P = 0.1053). A significant trend was found between increased changes in mLE8 score and a lower risk of NAFLD occurrence. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested high mLE8 CVH score was associated with a lower risk of NAFLD incidence. The new CVH construct showed a more reasonable classification of CVH status and was more robust in association with NAFLD risks compared with the original one.

Abstract
PURPOSE Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is characterized by lymph-node metastasis (LNM), which affects recurrence and prognosis. This study analyzed PTC LNM by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data and bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to find diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. METHODS ScRNA-seq data were clustered and malignant cells were identified. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in malignant cells of scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq, respectively. PTC LNM diagnostic model was constructed based on intersecting DEGs using glmnet package. Next, PTC samples from 66 patients were used to validate the two most significant genes in the diagnostic model, S100A2 and type 2 deiodinase (DIO2) by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and immunohistochemical (IHC). Further, the inhibitory effect of DIO2 on PTC cells was verified by cell biology behavior, western blot, cell cycle analysis, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, and xenograft tumors. RESULTS Heterogeneity of PTC LNM was demonstrated by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. A total of 19 differential genes were used to construct the diagnostic model. S100A2 and DIO2 differ significantly at the RNA (p < 0.01) and protein level in LNM patient tissues (p < 0.001). And differed in PTC tissues with different pathologic typing (p < 0.001). Further, EdU (p < 0.001) and cell biology behavior revealed that PTC cells overexpressed DIO2 had reduced proliferative capacity. Cell cycle proteins were reduced and cells are more likely to be stuck in G2/M phase (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study explored the heterogeneity of PTC LNM using scRNA-seq. By combining with bulk RNA-seq data, diagnostic markers were explored and the model was established. Clinical diagnostic efficacy of S100A2 and DIO2 was validated and the treatment potential of DIO2 was discovered.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) I-125 radioactive seeds embedded in an eye plaque is used to deliver the radiation dose of 85Gy to the apex of the tumor. However, it is challenging to treat a lesion in height (>10 mm) because of a high dose (> 500 Gy) to sclera. A staged radiotherapy (SRT) has been implemented successfully in stereotactic radiosurgery when a single dose is risky for a bigger sized lesion. The hypothesis of this work is that the SRT works for eye plaque brachytherapy of uveal melanoma to break the single fraction into two. To apply the concept of SRT, the following questions need to be answered: What are the two fraction doses? What is the time interval between the two fractions? In this work, the two split fraction doses and time interval are calculated using the "incomplete-repair' model. MATERIALS/METHODS Equation (1) is the linear-quadratic (LQ) model. f(x) is the cell survival curve (SC). Equation (2) and (3) are radiobiological model developed dealing with the split doses by considering the incomplete repair. Ln(f(x)) = -αx - βx2 (1) Ln(fn(x, Ɵ)) = nLn(f(x))-nβx2hn(Ɵ) (2) hn(Ɵ) = (2/n)[ Ɵ/(1- Ɵ)][n-(1- Ɵn)/(1- Ɵ)] (3) Ɵ = exp(-µΔt) (4) x represents the fraction dose, Ɵx is the initial segment of the survival curve, Ɵ determines the rate at which repair proceeds. n is fraction number and µ represent repair constant which equals to ln2/T1/2. T1/2 is the half-life of I-125. For continuous dose vt delivered at dose rate v for time t, with repair constant µ, the LQ model is modified as Ln (f(vt, µ)) = -α(vt) -β(vt)2g(µt) (5) g(µt) = 2[µt-1+exp(-µt)]/(µt)2 (6) Assuming biological effective dose (BED) is the same for the single fraction and split two fractions, SC when n = 1 should be same as when n = 2. Therefore, the equation (7) is derived. Ɵ = [(α/β)x1 - 2(α/β)(x2)2 + (x1)2]/2(x2)2 - 1 (7) x1 is single fraction dose of 85Gy, x2 is the split dose to two fractions. α/β ratio of 10 Gy is used. By fitting the equation (7), the ranges of doses and time intervals were determined. RESULTS The fraction doses and time interval to get the same BED as single fraction of 85 Gy are determined from 45 Gy to 50 Gy with time interval of 22 days to 76 days for staged brachytherapy eye plaque (SBEP). Our result is matched the treatment protocol for SBEP reported, e.g., 1st fraction dose of 40Gy and 50 Gy of 2nd fraction with 73 days of time interval are used. The max. dose of scleral dose is 328 Gy compared to the single fraction scleral dose of 543Gy. CONCLUSION This work could provide guidelines in SBEP in dosage and time interval. The height of tumor matters the most in the SBEP since the taller the tumor, the higher dose to the sclera is. Reference.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We aim to determine the correlation between vascular parameters of Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRIs and tumor response and outcomes in head and neck (HNC) patients treated with definitive radiation therapy (RT). MATERIALS/METHODS Eighty-two HNC patients are included in this prospective study in one institute. All patients had malignant head and neck neoplasm indicative of curative- intent treatment. Patients were imaged using MRIs pre-, mid-, and post-RT completion at 8-12 weeks. T2-weighted sequences were used for tumor contouring then it was co-registered to respective DCE images. The response to treatment was checked at mid-radiotherapy (mid-RT) and at the end of RT. Mid-RT MRI was co-registered to baseline images and the manually segmented baseline primary tumor regions of interest were propagated to mid-RT images. Quantitative maps (Ktrans, Kep, Ve and Vp) were generated with the extended Tofts pharmacokinetic models and were used for analysis. These vascular parameters were presented as a mean value and percentile using histogram analysis and the following parameters were extracted using an in-house programming environment script: mean, 5th, 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th (i.e., median), 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, 95th percentile. The non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess the changes of mid-RT DCE parameters compared to baseline. Recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was used to identify the delta DCE threshold associated with relapse. We assessed the identified thresholds' correlation with oncological and survival endpoints using Cox regression with and without standard clinical variables. RESULTS The median age for patients is 61 years old (33-78 range). Never smokers are 39 (47%), 35 (43%) are former smoker and 8 (10%) are current smoker with a mean value of 14 pack per year and 26 standard deviations. Using AJCC 8th edition, 39 (47%) are stage I and 19 (23%) are stage II and stage III and IV are 15 (18%) and 9 (10%) respectively. HPV positive are 72 (88%). For patients with GTV-P at baseline (n = 60), 11 (18%) had mid-RT CR at the primary site which increased to 50 (83%) post-RT. The LC and RFS for the entire cohort were 91.4%, and 79.2% respectively. In GTV-P, none of the pre-radiotherapy DCE parameters were correlated with LC or RFS. Wilcoxon signed rank test was statistically significant in 80, 90 and 95 percentiles with (p<0.05). RPA analysis identified different thresholds for each DCE parameter, and its inclusions to the multivariate model improved its performance. In GTV-P, RPA analysis identified ΔKtrans 40 percentiles >15.6% at mid-RT as the most significant point. When this value of ΔKtrans added to the multivariate analysis it was associated with a significantly better model performance in RFS (p = 0.00001). CONCLUSION DCE parameters are a very promising tool to correlate with response and outcomes in H&N cancer patients. Future work is warranted for external validation of our findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We aim to characterize the serial quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changes of the target disease volume using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) acquired weekly during radiation therapy (RT) on a 1.5T MR-Linac and correlate these changes with tumor response and oncologic outcomes for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. MATERIALS/METHODS Thirty patients with pathologically confirmed HNSCC and received curative-intent RT at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, were included in this prospective study. Baseline and weekly MRIs (weeks 1-6) were obtained, and various ADC parameters (mean, 5th, 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th and 95th percentile) were extracted from the target regions of interest (ROIs). Pre-RT and weekly ADC parameters were correlated with response during RT, loco-regional control, and the development of relapse using the Mann-Whitney U test. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the weekly ADC versus baseline values. Weekly volumetric changes (Δvolume) for each ROI were correlated with ΔADC using Spearman's Rho test. Recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was performed to identify the optimal ΔADC threshold associated with different oncologic outcomes. RESULTS There was an overall significant rise in all ADC parameters during different time points of RT compared to baseline values for both GTV-P & GTV-N. The increased ADC values for GTV-P were statistically significant only for primary tumors achieving CR during RT. RPA identified GTV-P ΔADC 5th percentile >13% at the 3rd week of RT as the most significant parameter associated with CR for GTV-P during RT (p <0.001). Baseline ADC parameters didn't significantly correlate with response to RT or other oncologic outcomes. There was a significant decrease in residual volume of both GTV-P & GTV-N throughout the course of RT. Additionally, a significant negative correlation between mean ΔADC and Δvolume for GTV-P at the 3rd and 4th week of RT was detected (r = -0.39, p = 0.044 & r = -0.45, p = 0.019, respectively). CONCLUSION Assessment of ADC kinetics at regular intervals throughout RT is potentially able to predict the response to RT and oncologic outcome. Further studies with larger cohorts and multi-institutional data are needed for validation of our results.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We aim to determine the kinetics of DCE-MRI changes in various mandibular risk volumes based on radiation (RT) dose received. MATERIALS/METHODS Eighty-eight head and neck cancer (HNC) patients (Pts) who underwent definitive RT were enrolled in this prospective study after IRB approval and informed consent. Images were acquired at pre-RT (Baseline), 3 weeks after RT start date (Mid-RT), 3 mos post-RT (PostRT1), and 6 mos post-RT (PostRT2). Manually segmented mandibular volumes on T2-weighted images were propagated to co-registered DCE-MRIs. Planning CTs and dose grids were also co-registered to corresponding baseline T2 images to create 3-D dose subvolumes. These were used to create 3 risk subvolumes; <30 Gy, 30-50 Gy, and >50 Gy ROIs. DCE images of different timepoints (TPs) were deformably co-registered and the dose subvolumes were propagated to each TP. We used the extended-Tofts model to generate the vascular quantitative maps (Ktrans and Ve). Each subvolume histogram parameters were extracted at each TP. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used to compare the changes at different TPs compared to baseline. We classified Pts' delta parameters at different TPs -based on our prior extensive QA assessment- into Pts with stable vascular profile (±25% change), Pts with significant increase (>25% change) and Pts with significant decrease (<-25%). Chi-square test was used to assess the change at different TPs. RESULTS For <30 Gy subvolumes, there were no significant changes (p > 0.05) in the studied DCE parameters at all TPs except a significant decrease (p < 0.001) in median Ktrans at PostRT2. For 30-50 Gy subvolumes, there was a significant increase in median Ktrans that started at MidRT (p = 0.006) and continued at PostRT1 (p = 0.04) but recovered to baseline values at PostRT2. Median Ve on the other hand only showed significant increase at PostRT1 (p = 0.001), but other TPs were not significantly different compared to baseline. Similarly, subvolumes >50 Gy showed same kinetics as in 30-50 Gy with significant increase of Ktrans at MidRT and PostRT1 and significant increase in Ve in only PostRT1 (P <0.05). For <30 Gy, there was significant increase in the number of Pts with stable or decrease in Ktrans at PostRT2 compared to earlier TPs (70% vs. 60% at PostRT1 and 54% at MidRT p = 0.003). 30-50 Gy subvolumes showed similar profile like <30 Gy with significant increase in the percentage of Pts with recovery at PostRT2. However, for >50 Gy, there was no significant increase in the number of Pts who recovered at PostRT2 (p = 0.3). Ve showed no significant increase in the percentage of Pts with recovery at different TPs (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Results showed that for all dose mandibular subvolumes, there is an acute vascular insult that tends to recover at +6 months post-RT except for a selective group of patients who continue to have persistence of the vascular insult at high dose subvolumes. These findings are of importance for future selection of high risk population for prophylactic intervention against osteoradionecrosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The presence of extranodal extension (ENE) in oropharyngeal (OPC) cancer patients is an important prognostic factor and can be used to determine the optimal course of treatment; however, currently, the gold standard method for ENE assessment is performed pathologically, which can only be done in a post-hoc fashion after surgical treatment has already been performed. Anatomic imaging features are being explored as a possible method for the pre-therapeutic determination of ENE, but there is currently no objective standard for the assessment of ENE from radiographic images. In this study we recruited expert clinicians, including surgeons, radiation oncologists, and radiologists, across multiple institutions to individually evaluate the presence of ENE from CT scans in order to assess the performance of radiographic ENE evaluation in human experts across different specialties. MATERIALS/METHODS Pre-therapy contrast-enhanced CT scans were collected from 25 OPC patients with lymph node metastasis that were pathologically evaluated for ENE after surgical resection. 5 scans were randomly chosen to be duplicated and left/right inverted, resulting in a total of 30 scans of which 21 had pathologically-confirmed ENE. To hide the inversion, all images were cropped to only show the oropharynx region. 34 expert head and neck cancer physicians, comprised of 12 surgeons, 11 radiation oncologists, and 11 radiologists, then separately evaluated the 30 CT scans using 3D Slicer for ENE presence or absence with their prediction confidence. For each physician, discriminative performance metrics were measured by calculating the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC), and Brier score, a measure of the probabilistic prediction accuracy calculated from their confidence where a lower Brier score is better. Statistical tests were performed using the Mann Whitney U test. RESULTS The median (interquartile) study results are shown in Table 1. There was no statistically significant difference among groups for accuracy or AUC, but significant differences among groups for Brier score, sensitivity, and specificity. CONCLUSION In this study we provide evidence that expert physicians, regardless of specialty, show poor performance in assessing the presence of ENE from CT scans in OPC patients. These results agree with conclusions from previous literature, and suggest the need for further research in the automated analysis of radiographic ENE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to analyze the global burden of occupational neoplasms from various epidemiological perspectives. STUDY DESIGN In this cross-sectional study, secondary analyses were conducted to assess the burden of neoplasms attributable to occupational carcinogens and their distribution characteristics using data from GBD 2019 and the World Bank database. METHODS Based on the GBD 2019 and the World Bank database, we analyzed the global burden of occupational neoplasms including the age-period-cohort model, decomposition analysis, health inequality analysis, and panel model. All analyses were conducted in R (version 4.0.3) and Joinpoint (version 4.9.1). RESULTS The absolute number of neoplasms burden attributable to occupational carcinogens has continued to rise over 30 years. In 2019, occupational neoplasms caused 333,867 [95% uncertainty interval (UI): 263,491 to 404,641] mortalities and 6,964,775 (95% UI: 5,467,884 to 8,580,431) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) globally. Greenland, Monaco, the Netherlands, and Andorra suffered the highest burden. The burden was higher in countries with a higher sociodemographic index. The age effect was prominent in the elderly, and the 1925 birth cohort had the highest cohort effect. Population growth was the most significant driver of the mortalities (89%) and DALYs (111%) change. Moreover, the proportion of urban population was significantly positively associated with the disease burden, while GDP per capita was negatively correlated with the disease burden. CONCLUSIONS The burden of occupational neoplasms was unevenly distributed across locations and populations. The need for rational allocation of healthcare resources was urgent.

Abstract
Vascular malformations are due to abnormal development of blood and/or lymphatic vessels during embryonic life without endothelial cell proliferation. Most of the previous treatments were symptomatic methods as surgery and sclerotherapy because the pathogenic mechanism was not clearly understood. With advances in molecular biology, the pathogenesis of vascular malformations is thought to be related to inherited and/or somatic mutations that eventually activate the PI3K/ATK/mTOR, Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathways. Also, related studies have promoted the use of targeted inhibitors. This article provides a review of current causative genes and targeted drugs for pediatric vascular malformations, aiming to provide a basis for promoting accurate molecular diagnosis and precision targeted therapy for these diseases.

Abstract
Psoroptes mites are the common ecto-parasites of wild and domestic animals worldwide, which causes considerable economic losses in livestock industry. Microscopy is deemed to be the 'gold standard' for the diagnosis of Psoroptes mite infection but it has poor sensitivity for low mite infections and/or sub-clinical infections. To overcome these shortcomings, we screened four genes to develop a sensitive and specific PCR for the detection of Psoroptes mite infection in rabbits, and confirmed its practicability in detecting early infection and monitoring treatment outcome with traditional microscopy and serological tests. Results showed that PCR assay targeting ITS2 (ITS2-PCR) had a high specificity and sensitivity (detection limit: 40.3 pg/μL DNA) for detecting P. ovis DNA. In rabbits artificially infected with P. ovis, all three diagnostic tests showed the same detection rate from 14 days post infection (dpi) to 42 days dpi. However, these diagnostic tests behave differently at 7 dpi and after treatment: at 7 dpi, the detection rate of ITS2-PCR was higher than rPsoSP3-based iELISA and traditional microscopy (ITS2-PCR: 88.9%, rPsoSP3-iELISA: 77.7%, microscopy: 33.3%); at 7 days post treatment (dpt), positivity rates of ITS2-PCR and microscopy rapidly decreased to 0.00% and 11.1%, whereas rPsoSP3-iELISA remained 100% positive rate. Furthermore, the comprehensive comparisons of diagnostic performance and features of three diagnostic tests at 7 dpi were performed. Compared to ITS2-PCR or rPsoSP3-iELISA, microscopy had the lowest sensitivity, and the agreement between these assays was low (κ < 0.3). Field study showed that ITS2-PCR showed a higher detection rate than microscopy (19.4% and 11.1%, respectively). Our results suggested that the ITS2-PCR developed in this study provided a new laboratory tool for diagnosis of P. ovis var. cuniculi infection, and it had advantages over microscopic examination in detection low-level mite infections and serological assay in monitoring treatment outcome.

Abstract
Our objective was to provide a method for selecting reference beam model and evaluating the dosimetric accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans delivered on three Elekta beam-matched linacs during radiation oncology. Beam data was measured on three beam-matched linacs including Synergy1, Synergy2 and VersaHD. For eighteen lung and esophagus cases, fifty-four plans were generated using VMAT technique with three linac beam models respectively for point dose measurement and three-dimensional dose measurement. Each VMAT plan was executed sequentially on three linacs respectively. Measurement results were compared with treatment planning system (TPS) calculation results for all VMAT plans. Among three beam-matched linacs, discrepancy in beam output factor, percentage depth dose at 5 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm depth and MLC leaf offset are all within 1% except 20 × 20 cm2 and 30 × 30 cm2 field sizes, and discrepancy in beam profile is all within 2%. With comparison between measurement result and TPS calculation result, the absolute dose deviations are within the range of ± 3%, and the gamma passing rates are all over 95% for all VMAT plans, which are within the tolerance of clinical acceptability. Compared with all plans delivered on Synegy1 and VersaHD, the point dose discrepancy between measured results and TPS calculated results for plans delivered on Synergy2 is smallest, and the gamma passing rate between measured results and TPS calculated results for plans delivered on Synergy2 is highest. The beam-matched linacs demonstrate good agreement between measurement result and TPS calculation result for VMAT plans. The method can be used for selecting reference beam model for VMAT plans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an intelligent recognition model based on deep learning algorithms of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images, and to preliminarily explore the value of this model for remote identification, monitoring and management of cattle, a source of Schistosoma japonicum infection. METHODS Oncomelania hupensis snail-infested marshlands around the Poyang Lake area were selected as the study area. Image datasets of the study area were captured by aerial photography with UAV and subjected to augmentation. Cattle in the sample database were annotated with the annotation software VGG Image Annotator to create the morphological recognition labels for cattle. A model was created for intelligent recognition of livestock based on deep learning-based Mask R-convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms. The performance of the model for cattle recognition was evaluated with accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score and mean precision. RESULTS A total of 200 original UAV images were obtained, and 410 images were yielded following data augmentation. A total of 2 860 training samples of cattle recognition were labeled. The created deep learning-based Mask R-CNN model converged following 200 iterations, with an accuracy of 88.01%, precision of 92.33%, recall of 94.06%, F1 score of 93.19%, and mean precision of 92.27%, and the model was effective to detect and segment the morphological features of cattle. CONCLUSIONS The deep learning-based Mask R-CNN model is highly accurate for recognition of cattle based on UAV images, which is feasible for remote intelligent recognition, monitoring, and management of the source of S. japonicum infection.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognoses of advanced (T3-T4) sinonasal malignancies (SNM). Methods: The clinical data of 229 patients with advanced (T3-4) SNM who underwent surgical treatments in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 2000 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 162 males and 67 females, aged (46.8±18.5) years old. Among them, 167 cases received endoscopic surgery alone, 30 cases received assisted incision endoscopic surgery, and 32 cases received open surgery. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to explore significant prognostic factors. Results: The 3-year and 5-year OS were respectively 69.7% and 64.0%. The median OS time was 43 months. The 3-year and 5-year EFS were respectively 57.8% and 47.4%. The median EFS time was 34 months. The 5-year OS of the patients with epithelial-derived tumors was better than that of the patients with mesenchymal-derived tumors and malignant melanoma (5-year OS was respectively 72.3%, 47.8% and 30.0%, χ2=36.01, P<0.001). Patients with microscopically margin-negative resection (R0 resection) had the best prognosis, followed by macroscopically margin-negative resection (R1 resection), and debulking surgery was the worst (5-year OS was respectively 78.4%, 55.1% and 37.4%, χ2=24.63, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in 5-year OS between the endoscopic surgery group and the open surgery group (65.8% vs. 53.4%, χ2=2.66, P=0.102). Older patients had worse OS (HR=1.02, P=0.011) and EFS (HR=1.01, P=0.027). Patients receiving adjuvant therapy had a lower risk of death (HR=0.62, P=0.038). Patients with a history of nasal radiotherapy had a higher risk of recurrence (HR=2.48, P=0.002) and a higher risk of death (HR=2.03, P=0.020). Conclusion: For patients with advanced SNM, the efficacy of endoscopic surgery can be comparable to that of open surgery when presence of safe surgical margins, and a treatment plan based on transnasal endoscopic surgery as the main comprehensive treatment is recommended.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the rate of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) revision surgeries and clinical information of hip-/knee- PJI cases nationwide from 2015 to 2017 in China. Methods: An epidemiological investigation. A self-designed questionnaire and convenience sampling were used to survey 41 regional joint replacement centers nationwide from November 2018 to December 2019 in China. The PJI was diagnosed according to the Musculoskeletal Infection Association criteria. Data of PJI patients were obtained by searching the inpatient database of each hospital. Questionnaire entries were extracted from the clinical records by specialist. Then the differences in rate of PJI revision surgery between hip- and knee- PJI revision cases were calculated and compared. Results: Total of 36 hospitals (87.8%) nationwide reported data on 99 791 hip and knee arthroplasties performed from 2015 to 2017, with 946 revisions due to PJI (0.96%). The overall hip-PJI revision rate was 0.99% (481/48 574), and it was 0.97% (135/13 963), 0.97% (153/15 730) and 1.07% (193/17 881) in of 2015, 2016, 2017, respectively. The overall knee-PJI revision rate was 0.91% (465/51 271), and it was 0.90% (131/14 650), 0.88% (155/17 693) and 0.94% (179/18 982) in 2015, 2016, 2017, respectively. Heilongjiang (2.2%, 40/1 805), Fujian (2.2%, 45/2 017), Jiangsu (2.1%, 85/3 899), Gansu (2.1%, 29/1 377), Chongqing (1.8%, 64/3 523) reported relatively high revision rates. Conclusions: The overall PJI revision rate in 34 hospitals nationwide from 2015 to 2017 is 0.96%. The hip-PJI revision rate is slightly higher than that in the knee-PJI. There are differences in revision rates among hospitals in different regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunction is a major determinant in the progression of fatty liver disease. It is pivotal to evaluate the metabolic status and subsequent transition in fatty liver population and to identify the risk of subclinical atherosclerosis. METHODS The prospective cohort study included 6260 Chinese community residents during 2010-2015. Fatty liver was determined as hepatic steatosis (HS) by ultrasonography. Metabolic unhealthy (MU) status was defined as having diabetes and/or ≥ 2 metabolic risk factors. Participants were categorized into 4 groups according to the combination of metabolic healthy (MH)/MU and fatty liver status (MHNHS, MUNHS, MHHS and MUHS). Subclinical atherosclerosis was assessed by elevated brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, pulse pressure and/or albuminuria. RESULTS 31.3% of the participants had fatty liver disease and 76.9% were in MU status. During a 4.3-year follow-up, 24.2% of participants developed composite subclinical atherosclerosis. Multivariable adjusted odds ratios for composite subclinical atherosclerosis risk were (1.66 [1.30-2.13]) in MUNHS group and (2.57 [1.90-3.48]) in MUHS group. It seemed that participants with fatty liver disease were more prone to be remained in MU status (90.7% vs.50.8%) and less likely to regress to MH status (4.0% vs. 8.9%). Fatty liver participants progressed to (3.11 [1.23-7.92]) or maintained MU status (4.87 [3.25-7.31]) significantly impelled the development of the composite risk, while regressing to MH status (0.15 [0.04-0.64]) were more intended to mitigate the risk. CONCLUSIONS The current study emphasized the importance of assessing metabolic status and its dynamic changes, especially in the fatty liver population. Regressing from MU to MH status not only benefited the systematic metabolic profile but also ameliorated future cardiometabolic complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSD) is the most complicated and common type of DSD. To date, more than 30 genes have been identified associated with 46,XY DSD. However, the mutation spectrum of 46,XY DSD is incomplete owing to the high genetic and clinical heterogeneity. This study aims to provide clinical and mutational characteristics of 18 Chinese patients with 46,XY DSD. METHODS A total of 20 unrelated individuals with 46,XY DSD were recruited. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) or custom-panel sequencing combined Sanger sequencing were performed to detect the pathogenic mutations. The pathogenicity of the variant was assessed according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidance and technical standards recommended by the ACMG and the Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen). RESULTS Six patients harbored NR5A1 mutations; two patients harbored NR0B1 mutations; six patients harbored SRD5A2 mutations; six patients harbored AR mutations. Six novel genetic variants were identified involved in three genes (NR5A1, NR0B1, and AR). CONCLUSION We determined the genetic etiology for all enrolled patients. Our study expanded the mutation spectrum of 46,XY DSD and provided diagnostic evidence for patients with the same mutation in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a newly proposed term based on modified criteria. Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been well-documented as a multisystem disease, research on the correlation of MAFLD and extra-hepatic diseases is limited. This study aimed to clarify the association of MAFLD, as well as NAFLD status with cognitive function. METHODS A total of 5,662 participants 20-59 years of age who underwent cognitive tests and liver ultrasonography in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included in the analysis. Cognitive function was evaluated using three computer-administered tests, the serial digit learning test (SDLT), the simple reaction time test (SRTT) and the symbol digit substitution test (SDST). RESULTS Participants with MAFLD had significantly poorer performance on the SRTT [odds ratio (OR) 1.47, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.14-1.89)]. MAFLD with moderate-severe liver steatosis was associated with higher risks of scoring low in the SDLT (OR 1.37, 95% CI: 1.04-1.82) and SRTT (OR 1.55, 95% CI: 1.19-2.02). NAFLD combined with metabolic dysfunction, instead of NAFLD without metabolic disorders, was associated an increased risk of a low SRTT score (OR 1.44, 95% CI: 1.10-1.82). MAFLD patients had a high probability of fibrosis, prediabetes, and diabetes and were also significantly associated with increased risks based on the SDST or SRTT score. CONCLUSIONS MAFLD was significantly associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment, especially among MAFLD patients with a high degree of liver fibrosis, moderate-severe steatosis, or hyperglycemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational studies indicated obesity and glutamatergic dysfunction as potential risk factors of depression, and reported disturbance of glutamine metabolism in obese state. However, it remains unclear whether the inter-relationships between obesity, glutamine and depression are causal. METHODS We conducted two-sample bidirectional Mendelian Randomization (MR) analyses to explore the causalities between circulating glutamine levels, specific depressive symptoms, major depressive disorder (MDD) and body mass index (BMI). Univariable MR, multivariable MR (MVMR) and linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSR) analyses were performed. RESULTS Genetic downregulation of glutamine was causally associated with MDD, anhedonia, tiredness, and depressed mood at the false discovery rate (FDR)-controlled significance level (estimate, -0·036∼ -0·013, P = 0·005 to P = 0·050). Elevated BMI was causally linked to lower glutamine level (estimate = -0·103, P = 0·037), as well as more severe depressed mood, tiredness, and anhedonia (estimate, 0·017∼0·050, P < 0·001 to P = 0·040). In MVMR analysis, BMI was causally related to depressed mood dependently of glutamine levels. Reversely, it showed limited evidence supporting causal effects of depression on glutamine levels or BMI, except a causal association of tiredness with elevated BMI (estimate = 0·309, P = 0·003). LDSR estimates were directionally consistent with MR results. CONCLUSION The present study reported that higher BMI was causally associated with lower glutamine levels. Both obesity and down-regulation of glutamine were causally linked to depression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Age has substantial influence on metabolic diseases patterns. Ethnic disparities of metabolic characteristics between Chinese and other populations also exist. Large-scale investigations of age-specific prevalence, subtypes and modifiable risk factors of metabolic disorders are essential to promote individualized strategies for the control and prevention of metabolic diseases in multi-ethnic populations. The study aims to address the age-specific prevalence, subtype characteristics and risk factor profiles of metabolic diseases among different races/ethnicities.
Methods
We analyzed data from the China Noncommunicable Disease Surveillance 2010 and the National Health and Nutrition Evaluation Survey (NHANES). We examined the prevalence and subtypes of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia across age groups in four ethnic populations. We also investigated the odds ratios (ORs) of metabolic diseases associated with 11 classical risk factors in the young and the elder Mainland Chinese.
Results
The sex and BMI standardized prevalence of hypertension in Chinese aged 18–40 years was 18.5% and was the highest among the four populations. The main pathophysiologic subtype of diabetes was characterized by insulin resistance, instead of β-cell dysfunction in Mainland Chinese, and this pattern was more evident in obese subjects. The major subtype of hyperlipidemia in Mainland Chinese was hypertriglyceridemia, while Non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks were more prone to high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. For risk of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, young Chinese adults were more prone to general and central obesity than older ones. The other factors showed similar effects on the young and the old.
Conclusions
The age-specific prevalence, subtypes and risk factors of metabolic diseases were substantially different in Chinese and other ethnic/racial populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aimed to explore the associations of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with the remission and progression along the glycemic continuum. METHODS This prospective cohort study was performed among the general population in 2010-2015. NAFLD was defined as ultrasound-detected hepatic steatosis with absence of excessive alcohol consumption and other hepatic diseases. Remission of type 2 diabetes referred to glycated hemoglobin <6.5% without hypoglycemic agents for ≥3 months. Prediabetes remission referred to normalization of blood glucose. Multivariable logistic analysis was applied to identify the risk of glycemic metabolic transition. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.3 years, participants with NAFLD had a significantly higher risk of progressing from normal glucose tolerance to diabetes (3.36 [1.60-7.07]) and lower likelihood of diabetes remission (0.48 [0.30-0.78]). Associations in participants with overweight or obesity and higher probability of hepatic fibrosis remained consistent. Results related to the effect of NAFLD on the specific glucose parameters were generally in line with the changes of glycemic status. NAFLD improvement decreased the risk of prediabetes progressing to diabetes (0.50 [0.32-0.80]) and increased the probability of prediabetes remission (2.67 [1.49-4.79]). NAFLD tended to show the most significant association with glycemic progression and decreased the likelihood in remission of prediabetes and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Presence of NAFLD increased risk of glycemic progression and decreased likelihood of remission. NAFLD improvement mitigated glycemic deterioration, whereas NAFLD progression impeded the chance of remission. The results emphasized joint management of NAFLD and diabetes and further focused on liver-specific subgroups of diabetes to tailor early intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Young-onset diabetes has been increasingly prevalent in China and most of the young patients with diabetes remain undiagnosed. Recently, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) updated their screening criteria and turned down the age threshold of diabetes screening from 45 years to 35 years, which highlighted the importance of identifying young individuals with diabetes. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the clinical relevance of updated ADA screening recommendations in Chinese adults and the metabolic features and risk factor profiles of these newly diagnosed individuals. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Using a complex, multistage, probability sampling design, we analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 98,658 Chinese adults in 2010. Participants without previously diagnosed diabetes were included into the present study. We calculated the proportion of individuals with diabetes eligible for screening and the number needed to screen (NNS) to identify one patient with diabetes by age groups. RESULTS Setting an earlier age threshold of diabetes screening can identify additional 6.3 million patients with diabetes and 72.3 million individuals with prediabetes, and the proportion of identified individuals increased more in rural, underdeveloped, and central areas. The NNS in Chinese adults dropped significantly from 28 in 30-34 age group to 15 in 35-45 years of age and remained low afterwards. The undiagnosed patients with diabetes who met the new screening age threshold of ADA recommendation were characterized by younger age, lower blood pressure and blood lipids, but higher proportion of overweight and higher level of insulin resistance, and tended to have an unhealthy diet habit, including low intake of fruits and vegetables and high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, compared to those aged over 45 years. CONCLUSIONS The new age threshold of 35 years for diabetes screening would reduce the proportion of undiagnosed diabetes with high cost-effectiveness, given the NNS for a positive test result was much lower in 35-45 age group comparing to the lower age group in Chinese adults.

Abstract
Background Prediabetes is an important risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the evidence of prediabetes as a cardiovascular risk factor is mainly derived from middle-aged adults. Recently, multiple studies supported that prediabetes in older adults would not lead to higher risk of CVD or mortality. We aimed to investigate the age-specific difference in the association between prediabetes and subclinical atherosclerosis in a Chinese prospective cohort study. Methods We included 4739 individuals aged ≥ 40 years and without diagnosed diabetes or CVD history, and divided them into middle-aged adults (age < 60) and older adults (age ≥ 60). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h post-load plasma glucose (2 h-PPG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured at baseline to identify prediabetes status. At follow-up visits, subclinical atherosclerosis status was assessed by branchial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Logistic regression analysis, restricted cubic splines and cross-lagged path analysis were used in statistical analysis. Results 1634 participants aged over 60 years, and 64.3% of them had prediabetes. 3105 participants aged 40–59 years, and 49.3% of them had prediabetes. We found that prediabetes was associated with increased risk of subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged adults, but the association attenuated substantially in older adults. Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), compared to normal glucose tolerance, was associated with 39% lower risk of increased baPWV only in older adults. In accordance, the association between 2 h-PPG and risk of increased baPWV was “U-shaped” in older adults, while risk of elevated baPWV increased linearly with 2 h-PPG in middle-aged adults. In the cross-lagged analysis, increase in FPG and 2 h-PPG tended not to precede increase in baPWV in older adults, but appeared to increase simultaneously with baPWV in middle-aged ones. Conclusion Our results indicated that prediabetes might be less related to subclinical atherosclerosis in older adults than in middle-aged adults and suggested that age was important to consider in the care of adults with prediabetes.

Abstract
ObjectivesModern breast cancer techniques, such as the deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique has been applied for left-sided breast cancer. Whether the DIBH regimen is the optimal solution for left-sided breast cancer remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to elucidate the differences of DIBH and free-breathing (FB) for patients receiving radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer and provide a practical reference for clinical practice.MethodsRelevant research available on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science published before November 30, 2021 was independently and systematically examined by two investigators. Data were extracted from eligible studies for assessing their qualities and calculating the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Review Manager software 5.4 (RevMan 5.4).ResultsForty-one studies with a total of 3599 left-sided breast cancer patients were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with FB, DIBH reduced heart dose (Dmean, Dmax, V30, V10, V5), left anterior descending branch (LAD) dose (Dmean, Dmax), ipsilateral lung dose (Dmean, V20, V10, V5), and heart volume significantly. Lung volume increased greatly, and a statistically significant difference. For contralateral breast mean dose, DIBH has no obvious advantage over FB. The funnel plot suggested this study has no significant publication bias.ConclusionsAlthough DIBH has no obvious advantage over FB in contralateral breast mean dose, it can significantly reduce heart dose, LAD dose, ipsilateral lung dose, and heart volume. Conversely, it can remarkably increase the ipsilateral lung volume. This study suggests that soon DIBH could be more widely utilized in clinical practice because of its excellent dosimetric performance.

Abstract
Aposematic organisms defend themselves through various means to increase their unprofitability to predators which they advertise with conspicuous warning signals. Predators learn to avoid aposematic prey through associative learning that leads to lower predation. However, when these visual signals become unreliable (e.g., through automimicry or Batesian mimicry), predators may switch from using visual signals to taste sampling prey to choose among them. In this experiment, we tested this possibility in a field experiment where we released a total of 4800 mealworm prey in two clusters consisting of either: (i) undefended prey (injected with water) and (ii) model-mimics (injected with either quinine sulphate [models] or water [mimics]). Prey were deployed at 12 sites, with the mimic frequency of the model-mimics ranging between 0 and 1 (at 0.2 intervals). We found that taste rejection peaked at moderate mimic frequencies (0.4 and 0.6), supporting the idea that taste sampling and rejection of prey is related to signal reliability and predator uncertainty. This is the first time that taste-rejection has been shown to be related to the reliability of prey signals in a mimetic prey system.

Abstract
Aim We aimed to detect the individual and combined effect of glucose metabolic components on cognitive function in particular domains among older adults. Methods Data of 2,925 adults aged over 60 years from the 2011 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Individuals' cognitive function was evaluated using the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), the Animal Fluency Test (AF), the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Immediate Recall (CERAD-IR), and CERAD Delayed Recall (CERAD-DR). Participants' glucose metabolic health status was determined based on fasting plasma glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and 2-h postload glucose. Linear regression models were used to delineate the associations of cognitive function with individual glucose metabolic component and with metformin use. Logistic regression models were performed to evaluate the associations of cognition with the number of glucose metabolic risk components. Results CERAD-IR was significantly associated with HOMA-IR and insulin. HbA1c was related to all the cognitive tests except AF. Among participants without obesity, HOMA-IR and insulin were both negatively associated with CERAD-IR and CERAD-DR. Odds of scoring low in DSST increased with the number of glucose metabolic risk components (odds ratio 1.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26 to 2.98). Metformin use was associated with better performance in DSST among diabetes patients (β = 4.184, 95% CI 1.655 to 6.713). Conclusions Our findings support the associations of insulin resistance and glycemic level with cognitive function in key domains, especially among adults without obesity. There is a positive association between metformin use and cognition.

Abstract
In the seawater near Taishan Nuclear Power Station, Zooplankton community composition and abundance, the biomass of major taxa, vertical distribution pattern, together with several environmental factors were investigated to evaluate the variation tendency as the seasons change. The structure characteristics of the zooplankton community were analyzed by Margalef species richness (d), Shannon-wiener species diversity index (H’), Pielou evenness index(J’), zooplankton dominant (Y), and dominant species replacement rate (R). There are 48 species within 11 classes of zooplankton identified, including 32 species of copepods. Zooplankton species richness changed obviously in the four seasons, Spring saw the highest (8010.00 ind.m-3), followed by winter (5100.00 ind.m-3), autumn (1713.75 ind.m-3), and summer (1196.25 ind.m-3). Similar trends were observed for the wet biomass, which was highest in spring (215.90 mg.m-3), followed by winter (181.70 mg.m-3), summer (78.56 mg.m-3), and autumn (24.69 mg.m-3), which gave an annual average of 125.21 mg.m-3. The results indicate that the abundance and biomass in spring were significantly higher than those in other seasons. Altogether 8 dominant species were identified along the whole year: Acrocalanmus gibber, Bestiolina amoyensis, Paracalanus parvus, Acartia danae, Mesocyclops leuckarti, Noctiluca scientillans, Penilla avirostris, and Lucifer penicilliger. The annual average Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Margalef diversity index, Pielou evenness index were 1.75, 1.83, and 0.74, respectively. The effects of environmental factors on the zooplankton community were studied by R and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). According to Pearson correlation analysis and canonical correspondence analysis, the most important environmental factors influencing the changes of zooplankton species composition, abundance and distribution were water temperature, salinity, and pH in the whole year.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Composite classic Hodgkin lymphoma and follicular lymphoma (CHLFL), defined as CHL and FL occurring simultaneously at the same site, is rare and poorly understood. While both Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells and FL are thought to be derived from germinal center B-cells, the relationship between CHL and FL when coexistent is unclear. Here, we present two cases of CHLFL and show that the CHL and FL components have a clonal relationship by FISH.
Methods/Case Report
Case #1 is a 50-year-old man with abdominal and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. An excised mesenteric lymph node showed two distinct components diagnostic for FL, grade 1-2 and CHL. Case #2 is a 63-year- old woman with a history of FL with transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Cytogenetic studies showed a complex karyotype with an add(9p), del(10q), and trisomy 16. Post-treatment imaging revealed left axillary adenopathy. An excised axillary lymph node showed CHL with peripheral areas of FL, grade 3A.
Both cases had areas of typical FL with BCL2-positive phenotype and no significant CD30/CD15 expression. HRS cells were CD45/CD20-negative, expressed CD30 (strong), CD15, and PAX5, and were present in a mixed inflammatory background. No EBV RNA was present by in situ hybridization. Interestingly, HRS cells in case #1 expressed both BCL6 and BCL2.
FISH was performed in both cases. Case #1 had a BCL2 rearrangement in 48% of FL nuclei and in 100% of HRS cells. In case #2, targeted probes were used based on prior cytogenetic results. Here, 47% of FL nuclei and 44% of HRS cells had a 16p duplication; additionally, 32% of HRS cells had an unbalanced IGH rearrangement with loss of the IGH variable region, suggesting possible clonal evolution. No rearrangement of BCL2 or BCL6 was present.
An additional 27 CHLFL cases from the literature were reviewed. CHLFL was mostly nodal and occurred in late adulthood in patients with or without a history of FL. It presented at advanced clinical stage, with a 5-year overall survival of 22%. BCL2 expression in HRS cells was common. Bone marrow involvement was 45% (5/11) and consisted of FL exclusively. Five of six tested cases demonstrated BCL2/IGH rearrangement in both FL and HRS cells.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA
Conclusion
Composite CHL and FL are often clonally related and may share a common progenitor B-cell origin – likely a germinal center B-cell – from which additional genetic abnormalities are acquired to develop two distinct lymphomas.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Myeloid neoplasms associated with DDX41 germline genetic alterations are becoming increasingly recognized as a unique subset of hematologic cancer predisposition syndromes. As such, we sought to review their clinicopathologic characteristics.
Methods/Case Report
We searched our next-generation sequencing database for cases with two DDX41 variants; one variant at heterozygous variant allele fraction (VAF) indicating known or putative germline status, and second variant at low VAF consistent with an acquired subclone. We reviewed the clinicopathologic features.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
We identified 18 cases - male:female ratio 2.6:1, average age at presentation, 69 years (range 57-89). The diagnoses included no diagnostic abnormality (3), MDS-MLD (1), MDS-EB1 (1), increased blasts only(5-19%) (7), and AML (6). All had anemia [average hemoglobin (10.2) (range 6.5-12.9 g/dL)], 17/18 with thrombocytopenia [average 87 (range 22-222 K)], 17/18 with neutropenia [average absolute neutrophil count (ANC) (819) (range 90-1800)] and 13/18 with macrocytosis [average (101.5) (range 83.7-114 fL)]. Bone marrow cellularity (corrected for increased blasts >20%) was predominantly hypocellular (11/19) followed by normocellular (5/19). 3/19 cases showed erythroid dysplasia; no cases demonstrated granulocytic dysplasia; 7/19 cases showed megakaryocytic dysplasia. Of non-AML cases, 8/12 cases showed increased blasts [average 10% (range 5-19%)]. Of 4 cases without an increase in blasts, 1 showed MDS, 2 no dysplasia [1 -ANC of 666 and preserved platelets (222); 2- thrombocytopenia with preserved ANC (1800)] and 1 had slight megakaryocytic atypia. 16/17 cases were karyotypically normal. 14/18 of the patients are alive (median follow-up, 48) (8-125 months).
Conclusion
This cohort finds that myeloid neoplasms arising from DDX41 germline predisposition syndrome tend to present in older individuals, have infrequent dysplasia and are associated with a prolonged clinical course despite elevated blast counts at diagnosis. Recognition of these disorders is challenging and DDX41 testing should be included as part of genetic profiling. The presence of a suspected DDX41 germline variant may prompt confirmatory and familial testing, particularly in the event a hematopoietic transplant is a treatment option.

Abstract
PURPOSE In recent years, docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil (TPF)-based induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) has been commonly applied for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC). However, whether TPF+CCRT regimen is the best choice for LA-NPC remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to elucidate and compare the efficacy and toxicity of TPF+CCRT versus CCRT alone for LA-NPC. METHODS Two investigators independently and systematically searched relevant studies available on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science published before January 7, 2021. Data were extracted from eligible studies for assessing their qualities, and calculating pooled hazard ratios (HR), odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using Review Manager software 5.3 (RevMan 5.3). RESULTS Five studies involving 759 LA-NPC patients were analyzed in the meta-analysis. Compared to CCRT alone, TPF-based IC plus CCRT significantly improved overall survival (OS) (HR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.35-0.81, P = .003), progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.46-0.86, P = .004), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.39-0.86, P = .008), and locoregional failure-free survival (LRFFS) (HR 0.62, 95% CI: 0.43-0.90, P = .01). In addition, TPF-based IC plus CCRT mainly increased risks of grade 3/4 acute hematological toxicity and non-hematological toxicities like leukopenia (OR = 1.84, 95% CI: 0.42-8.03, P = .42), neutropenia (OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 0.23-13.82, P = .58), thrombocytopenia (OR = 1.76, 95% CI: 0.53-5.81, P = .35), febrile neutropenia (OR = 2.76, 95% CI: 0.07-101.89, P = .58), vomiting (OR = 18.94, 95% CI: 0.99-362.02, P = .05) and dry mouth (OR = 2.23, 95% CI: 0.22-22.57, P = .50), which were uncomplicated and manageable. CONCLUSIONS TPF + CCRT is superb than CCRT alone for the management of LA-NPC. However, TPF+CCRT increases the incidences of grade 3/4 acute hematological toxicity and some non-hematological toxicities.

Abstract
Inter-fractional tumor variance would lead to insufficient dosage or overdose in tumor region during lung cancer radiotherapy. However, previous works have not considered influence of inter-fractional tumor amplitude variance at treatment position due to lack of effective evaluation method during radiotherapy, especially for lung tumor within the lower lobe. Our objective was to investigate inter-fractional tumor baseline shift and amplitude variance due to respiratory motion with 4DCBCT simulation and guidance during stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for lung tumor. Subject included 19 patients with lung tumor within the lower lobe. 4DCBCT-simulated images at treatment position were acquired sequentially to determine internal tumor volume (ITV) and reference tumor motion at simulation process. Compared with reference tumor motion, 95 4DCBCT-guided images were acquired during each treatment to evaluate inter-fractional tumor baseline shift and amplitude variance, which were − 0.0 ± 1.3 mm and − 0.2 ± 1.4 mm in left–right(LR) direction, 0.9 ± 2.3 mm and 0.4 ± 2.9 mm in superior-inferior (SI) direction, 0.1 ± 1.5 mm and − 0.4 ± 2.0 mm in anterior–posterior (AP) direction. ITV margin were 3.5 mm, 7.5 mm and 5.3 mm in LR, SI and AP directions with van Herk’s (Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 52(5):1407–1422, 2002) formula. 4DCBCT simulation and guidance is a reliable method to evaluate inter-fractional tumor variance during SABR for lung tumor within the lower lobe. ITV margin of 3.5 mm, 7.5 mm and 5.3 mm in LR, SI and AP directions would ensure greater tumor coverage during SABR for lung tumor within the lower lobe.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) in inherited arrhythmia patients with adrenergic activity-induced malignant ventricular arrhythmia, and observe exercise-stress test features before and after LCSD. Methods: This retrospective observational study included catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia(CPVT) and long QT syndromes(LQTS) patients who underwent video-assisted LCSD at Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital and Peking University People's Hospital from September 2006 to May 2020. The indications for LCSD surgery were intolerant or refractory to beta-blocker medication. Clinical and exercise-stress tests data of included patients were collected before and 1 month after LCSD. Heart rate, exercise tolerance, atrial and ventricular arrhythmia, QTc interval and predictors for sudden cardiac death were analyzed. Patents were regularly followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after LCSD and then once every year thereafter. Cardiac events and medication adjustment records were collected. Results: Five patients (2 CPVT, 1 LQT1, and 2 LQT2)were included in the study. All patients experienced syncope as first symptom at the median age of 12(10, 16)years, and underwent LCSD at the median age of 21(16, 26)years, Baseline heart rate was similar before and after LCSD ((65.6±6.5) beats/min vs. (68.0±11.1) beats/min, P=0.57); while maximum workload tended to be lower after LCSD ((12.1±2.8) metabolic equivalents (METS) before surgery vs. (10.5±2.4) METS after surgery, P=0.07). Incidence of atrial and ventricular arrhythmia were significantly reduced post LCSD, and the ventricular arrhythmia score was decreased after LCSD in CPVT patients (4 points before LCSD vs. 3 points after LCSD in case 1;5 points before LCSD vs. 3 points after LCSD in case 2). QTc interval was shortened significantly in three LQTs patients (QTc interval at baseline heart rate: (546.6±72.3) ms before surgery vs. (493±61.1) ms after LCSD, P=0.047; QTc interval at maximal exercise heart rate: (516.3±73.7) ms before surgery vs. (486.7±64.2)ms after LCSD, P=0.035). Additionally, sudden cardiac death risk indicator ΔHRR1 (heart rate decreasing value within the first 1 min during recovery phase) decreased from (51.5±21.1) beats/min before surgery to (32.0±13.9) beats/min after surgery (P=0.035). During a median follow-up of 1(1, 4) year, all five patients were on low dosage of propranolol (37.0±21.7) mg/d. Cardiac events free survival was achieved in four out of 5 patients (80%) after sympathectomy, while 1 case suffered from sudden cardiac death after emotional stress. Conclusion: LCSD surgery can be safely and effectively performed in most hereditary arrhythmia patients with adrenergic activity-induced life-threatening cardiac events. Exercise stress test results show that LCSD could reduce malignant arrhythmias and improve sudden cardiac death risk indicators without decreasing heart rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early and accurate diagnosis is vital in cerebral nocardiosis, a very rare and infectious disease associated with a high mortality rate. Herein, we report a case that a patient with brain abscess was swiftly diagnosed and successfully treated. METHODS We report a case of a 61-year-old woman with a brain abscess caused by Nocardia asiatica, diagnosed by a combination of Ziehl-Neelsen staining and metagenomics next-generation sequencing (mNGS). RESULTS A 61-year-old woman with left breast cancer resection, diabetes mellitus and a 7-month discontinuous cough and fever was admitted to our hospital. On the third day of hospitalization, she experienced a sudden loss of consciousness and was diagnosed with a brain abscess and a pathological change in cerebral mass on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Due to the failure of culturing any microorganisms from the pup, the dissected sample from the patient with Ziehl-Neelsen staining tested positive for acid-fast bacilli and was subjected to mNGS. The pathogen was identified as N. asiatica and the patient was treated accordingly with linezolid and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole until complete recovery was confirmed by the follow-up cerebral MRI. CONCLUSIONS This is the first case report of a brain abscess caused by N. asiatica being swiftly diagnosed by a combination of Ziehl-Neelsen staining and mNGS. This rapid diagnosis allowed us to successfully treat this rare infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) XIST expression in Wilms' tumor (WT) and to further explore its relationship with clinical features and prognosis of WT patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out to examine the expression level of XIST in tumor tissue samples and paracancerous ones collected from 43 patients with renal cell carcinoma, and the interplay between XIST expression and clinical indicators, as well as prognosis of patients was analyzed. Meanwhile, XIST level in the nephroblast cancer cell line was further confirmed by qRT-PCR. In addition, XIST knockdown model was constructed using lentivirus in the WT cell lines, including HFWT and 17-94, and the influence of XIST on WT cell functions was analyzed through transwell assay. Finally, we investigated whether lncRNA XIST plays a role in the progression of WT by modulating microRNA-193a-5p. RESULTS In this research, qRT-PCR results revealed a significantly higher expression of lncRNA XIST in tumor tissue specimens of patients with renal cell carcinoma than that in adjacent ones. Compared with patients with low expression of lncRNA XIST, those with high XIST expression had a higher incidence of distant metastasis and a lower overall survival rate. Compared with the negative control group, the metastatic ability of WT cells in the lncRNA XIST knockdown group was markedly weakened. In addition, the results of qPCR showed that mRNA expression of lncRNA XIST and microRNA-193a-5p were negatively correlated in renal cell carcinoma tissue specimens. At the same time, silencing microRNA-193a-5p reversed the reduced metastasis ability of WT cells induced by knockdown of XIST. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA XIST expression is dramatically enhanced in WT tissues and cell lines, which is closely associated with the incidence of distant metastasis and patients' poor prognosis. In addition, we demonstrated that lncRNA XIST may accelerate the malignant progression of WT via inhibiting microRNA-193a-5p.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia is a pivotal initiator of tumor angiogenesis and growth through the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). This study set out to examine the involvement of HIF-1α and HIF-2α in colon cancer and ascertained whether ORAI3 was involved in the pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients and murine models as well as human colorectal adenocarcinoma tumor (CW2) cells were included to examine the levels of ORAI1/3 and HIF-1/2α levels. Calcium imaging was utilized to ascertain the activity of calcium channel. Scratch assay was used to assess the migration capacity of the cells. RESULTS Tumors from murine colon cancer xenograft models and patients with colon cancer displayed high ORAI1/3 and HIF-1/2α levels. Hypoxia treatment, mimicking the tumor microenvironment in vitro, increased ORAI1/3 and HIF-1/2α expression as well as store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). Of note is that HIF-1/2α silencing decreased SOCE, and HIF-1/2α overexpression facilitated SOCE. Furthermore, ORAI3 rather than ORAI1 expression was inhibited by HIF-1/2α silencing while increased by ML228. Luciferase assay also confirmed that ORAI3 was elevated in the presence of ML228, indicating the linkage between HIF-1/2α and ORAI3. Additionally, colony-forming potential and cell migration capacity were decreased in siHIF-1α and siHIF-2α as well as siORAI3 cells, and the facilitating effect of ML228 on cell migration and colony-forming potential was also decreased in siORAI3 CW-2 cells, which points out the importance of ORAI3 in HIF1/2α pathway. CONCLUSION Our findings allow to conclude that both HIF-1α and HIF-2α facilitate ORAI3 expression, hence enhancing colon cancer progression.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the main triggers of recurrent cardiac events in patients with symptomatic congenital long QT syndrome (cLQTS). Methods: In this retrospective case analysis study, clinical characteristics were reviewed from 38 patients with recurrent cardiac events after first visit out of 66 symptomatic cLQTS patients. General clinical data such as gender, age, clinical presentation, family history and treatment were collected, auxiliary examination results such as electrocardiogram and gene detection were analyzed. LQTS-related cardiac events were defined as arrhythmogenic syncope, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock, inappropriate ICD shock, aborted cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac death or ventricular tachycardia. Results: A total of 38 patients with recurrent symptoms were enrolled in this study, including 30 females (79%) and 14 children (37%). The average age of onset was (15.6±14.6) years, and the recurrence time was (3.6±3.5) years. Subtype analysis showed that there were 11 cases (29%) of LQT1 (including 2 cases of jervel-Lange Nielson syndrome), 19 cases (50%) of LQT2, 5 cases (13%) of LQT3 and 3 cases (8%) of other rare subtypes (1 LQT5, 1 LQT7 and 1 LQT11) in this patient cohort. LQT1 patients experienced recurrent cardiac event due to drug withdrawal (6 (55%)), specific triggers (exercise and emotional excitement) (4 (36%)) and medication adjustment (1 (9%)). For LQT2 patients, main triggers for cardiac events were drug withdrawal (16 (84%)), specific triggers (shock, sound stimulation, waking up (6 (32%)). One patient (5%) had recurrent syncope after pregnancy. One patient (20%) had inappropriate ICD shock. For LQT3 patients, 4 (80%) patients developed syncope during resting state, and 1 (20%) developed ventricular tachycardia during exercise test. One LQT5 patients experienced syncope and ICD shock under specific triggers (emotional excitement). One LQT11 patient had repeated ICD shocks under specific inducement (fatigue). One LQT7 patient experienced inappropriate ICD shock. Left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD) significantly alleviated the symptoms in 2 children with Jervell-Lange Nielson syndrome (JLNS) post ineffective β-blocker medication. Nadolol succeeded in eliminating cardiac events in one patient with LQT2 post ineffective metoprolol medication. Mexiletine significantly improved symptoms in 2 patients with LQT2 post ineffective β-blocker medication. Conclusions: Medication withdrawal is an important trigger of the recurrence of cardiac events among patients with symptomatic congenital long QT syndrome.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the practice patterns and the related factors of oral antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) treatment in Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and to evaluate the compliance of AAD application to atrial fibrillation management guidelines. Methods: From August 2011 to August 2016, medical records from 18 014 patients with AF were analyzed based on data from the Chinese Atrial Fibrillation Registry trial. Patients were divided into AAD group (7 788 cases, 43.23%) and non-AAD group (10 226 cases, 56.77%) according to whether AAD was used at baseline or at the time of first use during follow-up. Amiodarone (4 129 cases, 53.02%) and propafenone (3 211 cases, 41.23%) were the mostly prescribed AAD and subgroup analysis was performed accordingly. Medical records were analyzed by random forest regression to evaluate the use of AAD and related factors in patients with AF, and the rationality of AAD was analyzed according to the guidelines for the management of atrial fibrillation. Result: A total of 18 014 patients were included in this study, of which 60.48% (10 895/18 014) were male patients, 22.65% (4 081/18 014) were elderly patients(≥75 years old), there were 7 788 patients (43.23%) in AAD group, and 10 226 patients(56.77%) in non-AAD group. Compared with the non-AAD group, the elderly patients (≥75 years old, 13.74%(1 070/7 788) vs. 29.44%(3 011/10 226)), persistent AF (28.95% (2 250/7 788) 45.80% (4 683/10 226)), heart failure(8.29% (646/7 788) vs. 21.95% (2 245/10 226)), stroke and (or) TIA(12.15% (946/7 788) vs. 19.95% (2 040/10 226)), renal dysfunction(16.36%(1 274/7 788) vs. 29.37% (3 003/10 226)), and high thromboembolism risk(60.17% (4 748/7 788) vs. 76.40% (7 813/10 226)) were less prevalent in the AAD subgroup (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that patients in tertiary hospitals (OR=3.72, 95%CI 3.17-4.37) were more likely to use AAD, elderly patients (≥75 years old, OR=0.47, 95%CI 0.39-0.55), persistent atrial fibrillation (OR=0.66, 95%CI 0.60-0.72), and patients with heart failure (OR=0.54, 95%CI 0.47-0.63), stroke and (or) TIA (OR=0.77, 95%CI 0.68-0.87), renal dysfunction (OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.59-0.95) and high thromboembolism risk(OR=0.7, 95%CI 0.58-0.84) were more likely not to use AAD(P<0.05). In the AAD group, amiodarone and propafenone were the most commonly used AAD, accounting for 53.02% (4 129/7 788) and 41.23% (3 211/7 788), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (OR=4.57, 95%CI 3.94-5.29) and coronary heart disease (OR=4.14, 95%CI 3.03-5.64), heart failure (OR=2.07, 95%CI 1.48-2.89), non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (OR=4.84, 95%CI 2.41-9.73) were more likely to use amiodarone, and those with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (OR=0.31, 95%CI 0.15-0.65) and low thromboembolism risk (OR=0.78, 95%CI 0.63-0.97) were more likely to use propafenone (P<0.001). The overall incidence of AAD treatment, which was not indicated by the guidelines was 6.5% (480/7 340); 5.1% (212/4 129) in the amiodarone group and 8.3% (268/3 211) in the propafenone group, respectively. Compared with the rational AAD use group, the proportion of irrational drug use was higher in the elderly (≥75 years old) (20.4% (98/480) vs. 12.9% (887/6 860)), patients of high thromboembolism risk (77.1% (379/480) vs. 59.0% (4 047/6 860)), and in non-tertiary hospitals (7.1% (34/480) vs. 3.3% (299/6 860)), but lower in men(50.8% (244/480) vs. 64.5% (4 427/6 860)), P<0.001. Conclusions: The patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, who were treated with AAD, were mostly patients with fewer complications, and the patients who were treated with amiodarone were mostly patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, patients were more likely to complicate with organic heart disease. The incidence of AAD that do not comply with the guidelines was low, and it was more common in non-tertiary hospitals and the elder patients with high thromboembolism risk.
